Continued from page one DETENTION HOME STORY for Utah, 273. In Carbon County where 65 cases were handled the youths were detained in a nursing home for the aged and chronically ill; this arrangement is a fire hazard. Maximum security cases among the older youths under eighteen are detained in some counties at the County jail. This is undersirable as there is not adequate supervision and association is with questionable adults in these lockups; in fact, this is illegal. A possible solution might be regional Detention Homes placed to serve more than one county. Perhaps eight would suffice for the States. There are six Juvenile District Courts, whose judges, probation officers, and child welfare workers should be in close proximity. . The photographs on this page give a study in contrasts. As our publisher says:" We will continue with the problem of the Detention situation in Utah to the point of boredom, if necessary." Today we present the facilities in Utah County. We have brought the story by picture to our readers of the Detention Homes in Salt Lake and Weber Counties. These are views from the Utah County Youth's Home located on the Springville highway out of Provo, next to the Eldred Sunset Manor, which is a beauti-fully appointed County achievement for the aged. This is the "Country Club" of Utah Detention Homes. Com-pared to the lock-u- p on the ninth floor of the City & County Build-ing is Ogden, this is a palace. Funds were raised for the Home from Utah County and private sub-scipti- on. There was no State aid. Citizens of the County became alarmed at the situation--an- d they did something about it. The public apathy in Salt Lake and Weber Counties is being attacked by in-dividuals, by organizations, and by the Independent. Perhaps when our State Legislature convenes it will be met by an aroused citizenry. If the Counties cannot solve their juvenile problems, the State of Utah must. This is the minimum require-ment : that the detention shall not be harmful to the child.

The one to the right, from the ninth floor of the City & County Building in Ogden is nothing better than a cell. When the children are brought to Provo, they are given clean jeans, shirts, and underclothing; their clothes are washed in the very ade-quate laundry. They take a shower and are issued house shoes. This is also done for the girls. When your reporter visited, the girls were busy fixing their hairdos with the aid of Mrs. Sorenson. y i - v. - . j staff Photos This photograph shows another section of the lounge looking toward the front entrance.
