Detention of children should be controlled, he added. If the proper controls were set up, he said, maybe few- er children would be detained. Saying that most neglected chil- dren need temporary care, not de- tention, Ward told the commis- sioners about the plan Louisiana uses That plan is worked out be- tween the Federal Security A- gency and the for only ny for ted that board. Carefully investigated prt vate homes are used as fester homes. The home owner is paid $200 a month and his heme is used as a steadying facility where neglected children can be placed on short notice. While children are in the home, an additional one or twe dollars a day is paid the home owner, he said. e plan, in conjunction with FSA, is available to any state, To extend your foster home fac- uld be wise,” Ward said, ter for children to home than in-an in- stitution.”” The state aperates facilities for | correctional care, Ward said, and “They are very goed in this state.” He pointed out that some of the larger counties already have insti- tutions for long-time detention of juveniles and that a county like Monroe could pay other counties on a contract basis to handle de- tention of Monroe County ju- veniiles. Turning to the part police play in the juvenile delinquent picture, Ward said the city police should have at least one and preferably two men to investigate complaints of neglected children. “In fact,” he added, “the Inter- national Police Chiefs Association recommends that five per cent of a police force be assigned to ju- venile work.” He also said there is a need for county police supervision outside the city limits. The sheriff's department has no deputy assigned to such work. Kirst Showing Tomorrow NEW 1954 MERCURY With New I6I-Horsepower erhead Valve V'8 Engine NEW STYLING, NEW INTERIORS!
