The above sentence infers that the family of the young girl completely com-pletely ignored their responsibility of supporting good law and order. But this is not so. I attended a meeting at which this was discussed discus-sed and it was the father of the young girl, not the boys' parents, who insisted that action should be taken. The father felt if this intolerable in-tolerable condition was allowed to exist then he would feel responsible responsi-ble if a more aggravated assault were to take place in the future; therefore he insisted that these boys go before the juvenile judge to have .him explain the seriousness serious-ness of this offense. 1 This is my community and I love it. I have appreciated seeing tho citizens become concerned with some of the problems that exist; however, in our' effort to support good government, let's get the facts and foster dignity and respect for our community. It is, also, easy for "the citizens to blame law enforcement when problems arise, but how many par ents have pled innocence or non-support non-support when their own children have been under suspicion or ques tion? The law cannot function properly unless well over half of the citizens of a community give their full support. It is my sincere plea that the civic minded forces unite with law enforcement and other responsible elements of our community to create an element of respect for law and authority. Let's begin at home. Sincerely, Merlin Christensen SHOP AT HOME SHOP WITH THE ADVERTISERS ABRAHAM MRS.

D.ll.S. oi the Weeh SUE WILLOUGHBY Brown eyes plus a smiling face added to pixie features equals Sue Willoughby, TEEN OF THE WEEK. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Willoughby of Oasis, Sue has one sister and four brothers. This teen, though small in physical phy-sical feature, makes it up with a big personality. She is easy to talk to; has a wide variety of interests and can converse quite readily on almost any subject. These interests include: the homemaker's trade of sewing and cooking (she is also an F.H.A. member), she likes ice skating, swimming and water skiing thus she knows much about sports. Playing the piano gives her an appreciation ap-preciation of the Arts. Religion adds to her humility; business skill gives her efficiency. She is good at shorthand, an excellent ex-cellent typist, and an outstanding bookkeeping student. Sue has had her share of practical experience too: she has worked in the D.H.S. Book Store, last year she was on the Type II team, and just recently she was a reporter for the Group Discussions on Communications between be-tween youth and their elders. Business also plays a vital part in her present class schedule as Bookkeeping, Seminary, Physical Education, Biology, Shorthand II, and English 12 indicate. Consequently, Conse-quently, it would come as no surprise sur-prise that Sue will probably make business her vocation. She is considering con-sidering majoring in Bookkeeping at the LDS Business College after graduation. With the attitude she has in regard re-gard to citizenship striving for self-improvement Sue will assuredly assur-edly do well in the future. Our teen certainly is a living example ex-ample of chetrfulness. She always has a ready smile, sparkling eyes, and a pleasant greeting. At times we wonder what makes life so enjoyable en-joyable to her .when she is in the same channel of work and work then more work that the rest of us are bogged down in. With her art for making things bright, her knack for sports, her love of music and her efficient habits we find ourselves here at D.H.S. proud to know Sue and we wish her a bright future. Last Days 0 THE WORD IT ON ULTRASON STOCKINGS BY BERKSHIRE THROUGH MARCH 28 u ui 1 pair $1 29 3 pair $379 rC DC LTP'S DEPflRTmEnT STORE Jf From the Office Of the Principal Comrx.ira.ive Delinquency Data Perhaps the following informa-mation informa-mation might be valuable, in that we have been somewhat concerned with the youth of our area the past few weeks. In 1961, there were 256,042 children child-ren between the ages of 6 and 18 living in the State of Utah. During that year, 19,000 children were referred re-ferred to the juvenile courts. This reveals that 7.4 of our child population pop-ulation comes before the courts. It might be well to call attention to the fact that as a measure of delinquency, de-linquency, these figures are likely to be low since police dispose of a considerable numbtr of children without referring the child to the court. For example, in Salt Lake City, of 3,488 juvenile arrests and 600 warnings in 1960, only 2,196 referrals were made to the court. -Forty-nine per cent of child arrests in Salt Lake City were repeat offenders; of-fenders; 15 had 2 arrests and 34 had 3 arrests or more. Of 1,060 children on Salt Lake City Youth Bureau records who became 18 years of age last year, 347 had been arrested from 2 to 10 times and 24 had as many as 19 arrests. Delinquency offenses in Utah ranged from acts of carelessness and mischief to felonious acts of considerable magnitude. 34.7 were referred for stealing offenses (8.2 burglary and holdup; 5.4 auto theft; 21.1 other stealing); 9.2 of the referrals were for lack of basic control of the child such as truancy, running away, and Ungovernable Un-governable behavior. Sex offenses and infliction of personal injury comprised 1.6 of the referrals, and the remaining 55 of referrals were for offenses less aggressive in nature but which serve as sign posts to an alert juvenile court staff. We have no comparative data to give. We are so far removed from our juvenile courts that many of the offenses are solved in the school and by our local police.
