Marshal Graham places much of the blame for youth problems squarely upon the parents who . . ' ' m many mstances, he says, "Are sh_u:ming ~he responsibility of ra1smg their families, and allow the church, school, and peace of· tiers to assume the tas k." "Pa rents, in this fast-moving world, are seeking their own en· joyment, and seem to have no '-'-·orry as to where their children are, or what they are doing . ... Their minds are at ease because their children have the price of a show ticket and a hamburger. ... Some parents are often seen in beer taverns and cabarets con_sumin~ intoxicating liquors: whlle then children are outside playing in the gutters or running the streets and getting into mis· chief. These are the juvenile delinquents of tomorrow," the author states, as one of his many arguments that parents rather than the children, are r~sponsi ble for juvenile delinqueucy.

MILLARD EMERY 5 0 I GRANO 0 SEVIER 2 BEAVER 0 GARFIELO I SAN JUAN KANE 0 3 The spread of Infantile Paralysis in Utah last year is graphically portrayed in the above map. A total of 244 cases for 1945 are listed with the Utah State Department of Health. An additional 13 case;S not included in the above breakdown were listed as non-resident cases. No change in the strike situation in the Utah mining indus. try has been reported this wee~ and it is expected that the walkout will occur .Monday morning, Jan. 21, accordmg to the official notice sent to 3 Utah companie& by union leaders. Companies against which the Internnational Union of Mine Mlll & Smelter Workers wili strike for higher wages, are the Utah Copper Co., the American Smelting & Refining Co., and Umted States Smelting Refining & Mining Co. The latter company, which operates mines in Bingham and Lark, and the smelter at Midvale, sent a letter Friday to of~ ftcials of the union , in answer to the wage demands, and out~ lining the position of the com· pany. ' J Frank Marble, president of district union No. 2, and Dan Edwards, executive board members, announced Saturday that they will answer the USSR&M Jetter, and teil why the present wage scale is inadequate. The lett~r, signed by F S Mullock, vice president and general manager, USSR&M Co, pointed out that 1'it is unfortunate, both for the employes and for the company, that a strike is to result." It says further: "During the depression years of the 1930s, when so many industries were curtailing operations, this company provided steady employment, and, in fact, during those dark days increased its person· nel. Steady and uninterrupted employment by this company has been a major factor in the security and well being of its employes and their families. It is regrettable, therefore, that thru the action of the union, the steady and uninterrupted earn~ ing power of the company's employes is to be stopped and that the employes will be forced to use up their savings to support themselves and their families during the strike. "The friendly relationship which exists between the com· pany and its employes is desir~ able not only for the company's standpoint, but from that of the employes and your union as well, and it will be the policy of this company, notwithstanding a strike, to do all in its power to continue such relationship." The letter pointed out that the union twice presented to the national war labor board the same demand it now is present· ing to the companies (the demand for the Coeur d'Alene. Ida, wage scale), and in both instances the "board rejected such demand, the last rejection being dated Nov. 26, 1945." The company informs the un· ion that until the present con· tract expires on June 30, 1946, workers' earnings will be maintained at the present wartime level.
