Q I I if Bott mal F3 IUVENILE DELINQUENCY Crimes are not a new thing to us. We have all read about them and those people who commit them. We know that criminals are punished for their crimes. Today we not only have to punish our criminals but there is a greater need for preventing crimes. The law is not coping with the usual run of the mill tough guy, but with boys and girls who are to be our citi- zens of tomorrow. No soldier, who has given his life's blood so that these boys and girls can have their usual way of life, wants to come home and see what he fought for and defended placed in the hands of these irresponsible and delinquent boys and girls.

Two boys in New York derailed and set fire to some tank cars and caused 2151211000 in damage. A lot of this war time juvenile delinquency could be prevented if the boys and girls had recreational facilities that they could call their own. We all know that right here in Rockland the high school boys and girls 9
