RAUEST'S & INSTA-CLEA- N DENTURE CLEANSER fNSTA Clf AN n trodnorii th of Wco New York also is unique in that it emphasizes delinquency prevention and most of the commissions work is geared in this direction. The principal state-aide- d municipal projects include: Recreafios Programs. These are either suggested by the Youth Commission district representative or instigated by the community which comes to the Youth Commission for help. In either case, the pattern is the same. A group of influential local citizens is called together to discuss the problem and preventive measures. This group suggests an initial program and recommends appointment of a committee to administer the project locally. Town officials then apply to the state for assistance money (minimum of $1,000 with a maximum of 25 cents per child per year). If the request is approved, the municipality must match it which usually isnt difficult once the community knows state aid is available. In actual practice, the community contributes much more than enough to match state funds. In its recreation work, the Youth Commission likes to stress a function of the public school that is too little appreciated: its use after school hours for community-sponsore- d projects. Seldom does a town have to start out by building an expensive youth center, points out Chairman McCloskey, who for 17 years was a New York City public-scho- ol official. Almost always, there is a public building of some kind available at least until the program grows and the townspeople want to provide better facilities. Schools are ideal for all sorts of recreation projects. We like to see lighted schoolhouses all over the state, on week ends and after school hours. 1 g 5 Dr.WESTS Products Contpony More Mothers depend on Fletcher's Castoria than any other laxative to correct constipation in children of all ages . o Projects. The commission is empowered to tackle special local problems which need research and specific attention providing the help is requested by local citizens and approved by the commission members (eight private citizens who serve without pay and have long experience in dealing with young people). Examples of this sort of work include: probation; child guidance; police education; and youth employment Here are some of the outstanding rece sults of youth-serviprojects: clinics, scattered throughout the 2.

Youth Bureaus. Oftentimes juvenile activities become so diffused that a coordinating agency is needed to pull them together and point them toward a common goal. This is the primary function of the municipal youth bureau. There are about a dozen of these bureaus staffed g, dedicated local citizens by is whose number growing each year. Youth bureaus also work to expand needed youth services, look into youth needs and problems, and work for better public understanding of young people and their problems. In addition to all these activities, the commission which includes 38 paid employees also has a film library containing 300 prints of motion pictures which offer a constructive approach to the delinquency problem the largest film library of its kind in the nation. Three of the films have been produced by the commission; the most recent is a film on juvenile car theft. The commission also publishes the Youth Service News, a bimonthly magazine circulated to 15,000 town, school, and welfare officials throughout the state, and a selection of free booklets for municipalities to use in local delinquency-preventio- n hard-workin- programs. Written by experts, these publications offer an blueprint for local action. By 1957 standards, the money being spent on New Yorks delinquency-preventio- n program is only a drop in the bucket. But it has generated a tidal wave of enthusiasm, cooperation, and constructive effort to help children find worthwhile aims, idenls, and activities. The bipartisan New York State Youth Commission stands apart from the ordinary bureaucratic pattern. This was best demonstrated on the several occasions when it was feared that the temporary Youth Commission might be abandoned. At each crisis, letters of protest flowed into Albany, pleading for the life of the commission and extension of its work. Today, it has permanency and stature and is setting a provocative example for other states beset with the same problems. easy-to-foll- |
