In this report, a number of suggestions were made that look good on the surface but which could create ramifications, that would Have some adverse affects on the very thing that these people want to eliminate. These comments were made by J. Edgar 'Hoover, head of the F.B.I. Here is a dedicated and capable individual, and far be it for me to say his advice is not worthwhile. But lets look at two of his recommendations. The first recommendation is that the names of all offenders, regardless of age, be published in the newspapers. I dont know what purpose this would serve, except to embarrass the relatives of the culprit, as well as his parents. A great majority of these delinquents get into trouble so that they can get their names in the paper. This, in their mind, makes them a hero to tehir friends and directs public attention to them. These kids want to be noticed and into getting trouble is one way of doing it They dont particularlyare care nowhy they as ticed, long as noticed. they are In their particu-- l lar case, it would be best to make the punishment fit the crime and keep it but of the papers. It is unusual that all the brothers and sisters in one family have strayed from the straight and narrow. Why should the other members of the family be embarrassed and shunned by their friends because of the actions of one individual? By publicizing his misconduct, the innocent are actually punished more than the deviate is. that Another recommendation was brought forth was making the parents shoulder the financial, as well as the moral obligation, for a childs crime. This is no more than utterly ridiculous. This system was tried in one town and the consequences were miserable. Lets assume again that in the majority of cases only one child in the family is a delinquent. But putting the mother andor father in jail, the culprit again is the least punished of the lot. The brothers and sisters again suffer the shame and publicity. The parents are taken away from the other children when they probably need them most. If the parents have to financially reimburse the wrongdoings of one of their children, the delinquent still gets off too easily. And, heres the Saddest part of what happened in the town that experimented with the idea of holding the parents responsible for the crimes of their offspring. As soon as the delinquent found out that if he committed a crime his parents would go to jail for that crime, he held this threat over his parents heads. In essence, the kid got what he wanted because if the parents got out of line, he threatened to do something wrong and snd them to jail. Con- W. Kay sequently, the line of authority was reversed and the kid, instead of the parents, was setting down the rules. I think that we are entirely too lenient with our youthful offenders. One o fthe reasons for this is that the psychiatrists work with these children and try to get them back ino line. The only way they can tell if they are successful is to let the individual go back into society. If the youth finds a useful place in the world, the psychiatrists work was successful. If the offender continues to live a life of crime, they were not successful. The two kids that shot a night watchman last week is a case in point. Some might argue that the best thing for society to do is to incarcerate these monsters for life. But this will not happen. The psychiatrists will work with them and in order to find out if their system works, will turn them loose. Another citizen might be killed, but thats secondary. The imporant thing is, does the psychiatrists system work ' or not SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES l KEARNS KEARNS LIONS, 2nd and 4th Mondays, 8 p.m. KEARNS JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Thursday, 8 p.m. KEARNS JAYCEE-ETTE- S 1st 3rd and Wednesday, 8 p.m. KEARNS TOWN COUNCIL 1st and 3rd Mondays, 8 p.m., Kearns Jr. High School.

Number Arsenic and Old Lace5 Now In Preparation for Production Local talen will be in the successful stage comedy Arsenic and Old Lace, to be presented sometime during the month of November at the Kearns Jr. High auditorium. The plot of the comedy-myster- y centers mainly around two sweet, neighborly women, Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby. The characterization of these sweet, but definitely murderous old ladies will be done by Dolly Hodgson and Virgina Jacobs, who will portray Aunt Abby; and Afton Smith and Elaine Horan, who play Aunt Martha. Mixed into the very confused plot is a brother of the Aunts, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt Hes not crazy, you see, just demented. Richard Hales plays Teddy. The hero, if he is such, is called Mortimer. Cary Grant played him on the screen. Grant Lowder will aortray him on the Kearns stage. Youve gussed it by now, havent you, that Teddys aunts are Aunt Marthy and Aunt Abby? Here are the main characters (and are they!) around whom the plot will thicken until it really begins to congeal (so does blood). For the love interest Mortimer has a girl friend. Her name is Elaine Harper. She is very pretty and she (it seems) is the only one that knows what shes about Betty Lowder does a very fine job as the girl in the plot. Every good mystery has a villaia The very sinister one in this plot is portrayed by Hank Hielkema as Dr. Instein. Rolf Kay does his very best in the role of Jonathan, the black sheep of this very wierd family. How can one be a black sheep in a family of murderers? One of the 12 lonely, old men that the sweet, kindly aunts did away with is acted, with evident relish, by Ralph Carter. Here, it should be assumed that we are all against murdering.
