"Tis true! The only thing is, this particular park is in Berkeley, California—not Provo, Utah. Bruce Clark, bookkeeper at Naylor Auto, was in the San Francisco area wheré he witnessed “happenings” of somé hippies. Bruce reports that it is “‘absolutely-unbdelievable what a person can-see.” As a matterof fact, he picked up one of theirofficial publications titled, “Berkeley Barb.” It’ 's a tabloid newspaper (?) written by and for hppies. And after reading someofits content, I can believe everything Bruce tells about ‘em. ela ie There's an article in the “Barb” written bya “Provo,” (I guess they refer to themselfes by names of the parks in which they‘hangout in.)

Fortunately for me the gentlemai. saw the humorin it and wound up laughing like little Audrey. Now I wonder how many other men thought they were being slandered. Which leads me to wonder about the wisdom of the papers in withholding the names of known juvenile vandals, When it happens I know that many teen-agers complain; justifiably, that they are all under suspicion. If names are not used the guilty are cleared, butall other teen-agers are under a blanket indictment, and only a small percent of them are vandals. . Tn the case I have metitioned the names I withheld were adults who were like children, and at the worst only have been laughed at, children they would in greater danger than if they had been white, but it was an effective answer to the old cry of police brutality, and ended the blind charge that all Negroes will riot every time they get an opportunity. There are two sides of this question of whether or not the names of known juvenile delinquents should be published. It could do some good in cases, but could conceivably do great harm to some youngster by making him believe that society is against him. If anyone’s name should be published it should probably be that of the offender’s parents. : Some youngsters appear to think that there is a. state of war between adults and teenagers, and an act of vandalism is only @ skirmish in’an undeclared war. It will do no good to bring them fo the peace table for the simple fact is arrested, and they admited that they they do not speak the same language.
