A new record in passenger safety performance for Pullman car operations has been announced .by the Association of American Railroads. From 1951 through December 31, 1959--- a period of eight years--almo- st 84 million Fight for Proper Juvenile Facilities Must not be Abandoned In the issue of December 10, 1959, the South East Independent published a resolution of the Sugar House Business and Professional Women regarding the facilities for detaining juvenile Since delinquents. then the South East Independent has published five issues with both pictures and stories showing the conditions in. the Salt Lake County Detention Home, local Juvenile Court and the Detection quarters jail on the ninth floor of the City and County Building irrOgden. The resolution from the Sugar House Business and Professional Women was the result of their desire to cooperate with the League of Women Voters and other groups interested in this problem. Results from the publicity The South East gave the lack of proper facilities for delinquents have been more than gratifying. Our efforts have been small compared to those of others but we are proud to be the first paper in the area to bring the conditions to the public's attention. It is also wonderful to find many other organizations showing definite interest in this problem. All working together we can get recognition for this problem and satisfactory facilities provided. Efforts to get proper legislation and financing for our juvenile problems must continue until successful. It will require much re-petition by all media to arouse the public from its apathy. The South East Independent will be repetitious to the point of boredom if necessary. Just remember that regardless of any news to the contrary on this date the Juvenile Court facilities are inadequate, the Salt Lake County Detention Home needs attention, and children are still being detained in jail-lik- e quarters and fed through jail-lik- e doors in Ogden. According to the N. W. Ayer & Son directory, the weekly news-papers of this country now have a circulation of nearly 23,000,000, as against 17,254,668 in 1949.

A more beautiful picture of the elevating and balancing power of personology could hardly be given or imagined. Such a family is like an oasis in the desert. Its example tends to quench the thirst of all the families of society, as they too, seek progress through this true pattern of the better life, personology. Million Dollar Combination A Work-A-D- ay Pattern of Living By Arthur M. Richardson Million Dollar Combination "I wouldn't give a million dollars for what I have learned through personology on how to handle my five children." Here is a doctor who realizes that children are a precious heritage. He knows that it is in the home that children learn and practice all the principles of justice, prior rights, neighborly courtesies, mutual service, sac-rifice and moral conduct. Continually uncorrected youth-ful mistakes in the home will compel youngsters to learn right conduct in outside groups in the hard way from rude and cruel teachers. The result is anger, resentment, discouragement, dis-appointment and sorrow. The answer to social disaster in the home is personology. Why? Because whole families can get personality charts made- - children as well as parents- - and here is -- the million dollar combination. Why? Because as the parents advance up the personological ladder of Letjals The annual meeting of the stockholders of Allied Oil and Minerals Company to elect a board of directors, to vote on proposals to amend articles XIII and XIV of - the articles of Incorporation to delete and eliminate newspaper advertising requirements in con nection with assessments and nts to the articles of Incorporation, and to transact any other business that may come before the meeting, will be held at 409 Ness Building, Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, February 27, at 12:15 p.m. fCont. from page one) is to interest the State of Utah in becoming involved in some type of program for the emotionally disturbed child, not necessarily the day-ca- re explorational one that is being followed at the Center, tfhich has another year or so of research before particular legis-lation can be suggested. We must remember that the Adolescent Day Care program is an exploratory project. Methods now being used to arrest juvenile de-linquency have not succeeded. This work done at the Center may bring a better answer to the problem confronting us all. It is too soon for a scientific evaluation.

By Merle Riche If one pretends to be alert to any degree he must look with rather some misgivings on the activities of the Parent-Teache- rs better really find but "who decides what yQur children shall learn. Asso ci a tion. The National Congress o f Parents and Teachers claims a total membership of 10,'694,474. It carries a full time staff of it some "main, branch'; being able to cancel them out on "personal disapproval" and for no other reason. If there ever was a group of parents led around by the nose it is those who submit to the tight leadership of the NCPT. Take note of this gag rule: "Any stand taken by the board of managers upon a measure is re-ported to the membership through the district and council chairmen of legislation whose duty it is to see that each local association is informed. Only such speakers as are in accord with the action of the board are thereafter presented upon Parent-Teach- er platform." And personal prejudice is the reason given by local PTA leaders for the cancelling of some speakers here in this supposedly free state. Note this rule from the national by-law- s: local units or branches, shall not seek to direct administrative activities of the schools or to control their policies." It is just about time that some parents should be courageous enough to seek to control policies and administrative activities through an organization that has the welfare of their children at heart. If you do not want your children to be led further into the wilderness of progressive education through the tie-u- p of the National Education Association and the NCPT you had, y over sixty officers and clerical help. Their emblem is a tree the trunk of which represents the national organization. The main branches of the tree are the State congresses. The smaller limbs are the district councils. The twigs are the local associations. And the leaves-- - you guessed it, the leaves represent the individual members. And throughout the state such local organizations as there are, when they wish to ha.ve speakers, can have their wishes blocked by |
