Mr. Stratton assured that the city council is making elaborate plans to develop the Orem water system to meet the city's expansion. expan-sion. An indication of the city's future growth is given, incidentally, incident-ally, in the fact that during the past week six applications for new subdivisions, each covering 28 to 68 houses, were submitted to the city council.

Growing Vandalism Evil Brings Problem Of Juvenile Delinquency to the Fore in Utah By RUTH LARSEN United Press Staff Correspondent SALT LAKE CITY, June 30 UB Vandalism, accounting for damage amounting to $15,000 in Salt Lake City alone, today brought the problem of juvenile delinquency to the fore in Utah. And not only in Utah is this problem being discussed. Attorney Attor-ney General Tom C. Clark commented com-mented recently in Washington, D. C, that "not only must this present emergency be met but long range plans for the future must be made." Utah's juvenile courts and juvenile division of the department depart-ment of public welfare have heeded this warning and have started on a long-range program to take care of those already de linquent and to prevent other children from becoming delinquent. delin-quent. The causes of juvenile de-linqunecy de-linqunecy in Utah, according to John F. Larson, state director, di-rector, are multiple and varied, especially since tbe beginning of World War II. During the war there was an intensification of what Larson calls "wartime abandon" (upset living conditions with the atti tude of living for today and not tomorrow.) Part of this wartime abandon has been caused by a population shift of war workers siiaJIBIHuiWl 'J CAN YOU GIVE. THREE DEFINITIONS FOR THE WE SOLICIT YOUR SUPPORT FOR GEORGE A.

Larson explained, some children were able to adjust to their new surroundings sur-roundings while others failed to do so thus falling into the behaviour be-haviour pattern of a delinquent. A major cause of delinquency is the broken home, or lack of parental influence due to a father fath-er in the service or so-called "working mother." Children left to shift for themselves often turned to improper activities for entertainment and excitement. To combat the results of these influences, Larson said the state has embarked on numerous plans. Approximately 15 special Juvenile Juve-nile officers have been added throughout the state, Larson said, and the budget allowed the department de-partment for the biennial year ending next June has doubled the 1943 figure. Besides the state program, communities throughout Utah have been doing some planning of their own to keep children off the streets. Increased playground facilities have been planned and youth centers organized. The state intends to cooperate with the communities in achieving these ends. The iiatc. itself, is working work-ing on juveniles through a pre-delinquent basts. This means that they are taking the children as they show signs of becoming delinquents delin-quents and helping them on a case basis. In addition, in Utah, the problem prob-lem of handling the delinquent is facilitated by a method which is used in only one other state in the nation, Connecticut. The state welfare department has complete coverage of all juvenile courts in the state. Thus, state juvenile workers are able to get an over-all picture of problems and work on the basis of the whole rather than of isolated territories ter-ritories "handling their own cases. One of the state's largest problems prob-lems in treating the delinquent, Larson said, is providing the proper atmosphere during the detention period before he comes to court.

Therefore, Larson said, the state has decided on a program to subsidize cities and counties to provide such facilities fa-cilities if they meet the state's minimum standards. He added that the program got under way last January. In discovering whether a child has a tendency to become a juvenile juve-nile delinquent, it has been explained ex-plained that there are certain manifestations of such tendencies-Howe tendencies-Howe ver, they vary with the child snd most of the time are determined by statutory definition. defini-tion. For instance, in Utah, a majority of the cases involving juveniles are traffic violations. While this is not actually a case of juvenile delinquency as the public understands it, neverthe less, Larson explained, under statutory definition it is regarded as such. Then again, Larson said, the most common manifestations are cases of trivial shop lifting and stealing from neighbors. In Salt Lake City recently, public officials reported thlt during dur-ing the first six months- of 1946 there was damage of over $15,000 to public facilities. To combat this menace, which was shown evidence of reaching an epidemic proportion, various civic groups, including the Salt Lake council of women, have opened campaigns cam-paigns to halt the vandalism. Leaders of all churches in the community have pledged their aid in the campaign, as also have civic officials. Juvenile delinquency, however, how-ever, has been on the downward down-ward grade recently in Utah, quite to the contrary of many other states in the nation. While the actual figures show an increase of 247 cases over last year, actually a majority of the cases have been traffic violations and do not constitute a deep-seated deep-seated behavior problem in the juvenile. Larson said. Juvenile court records show that in 1944 there were 6,148 cases ot juvenile delinquency against 7,422 in 1945. Subtracting Supply - .rs rs :j the traffic violations it reads this way: in 1944 there were 4,087 cases and 3,877 in 1945, a decrease de-crease of 210. The rate of increase has been higher among the boys. In 1944 there was a total of 5,316 boy delinquents and 832 girl delinquents. delin-quents. In 1945 there were 6,757 boy delinquents and only 665 girl delinquents. Taking total figures, juvenile delinquency of all statutory statu-tory types has decreased among the girls. According to the juvenile courts, age groups of juvenile delinquents de-linquents range from seven to 17. In both 1944 and 1945 there were about 33 cases among the boys at the age of seven but this soared to 2,104 cases at 17. Among the girls, there is a consistent increase up to 15, stays the same at 16 and drops at 17. A bulk of the offenders range around the ages of 14, ' 15 and 16 with the peak at 16. However, the 15 ace sroup is just a few under in numbers. Utah, according to Larson, contemplates con-templates legislation to remove statutory, limits placed on proba tion and juvenile court officers which hamper their best activities activi-ties at present. Through this new legislation, the state believes it can employ persons with better qualifications who will be able to act to reduce the juvenile delinquency delin-quency problem more rapidly in Utah. In addition, the state also plans to seek legislation forcing a parent who has been denied the custody of a child to provide for him. At present, state law does not require that a parent support the child which has been removed from his custody by the court. I - siw Its--..- . i ,,.
