JUVENILE COMMISSIONS
Not long ago we read with interest a report on what
___
some of the states are doing to combat and correct juvenile
delinquency. Or perhaps a milder statement would be to
assist some children to grow up. At least five states in
the I nited States have what is termed a board of juvenile
commissioners—a board composed of three to five people
who make a study of individual cases where the youth mav
have gone wayward and make recommendations as to the
best methods of corrections.
Broken homes, lack of love and drinking parents appear
to be the prime cause for youth to become confused or lost Dear Santa:

it is actually cheaper than the old methods.
WHERE SHALL WE SHIP THE REMAINS?
Sometimes a touch of humor will bring home a serious
truth.
That is true of a hotel sign in Salisbury. Maryland,
which says, “If you must smoke in bed while'here, please
notify the office so we will know where to ship your remains.
Business is good here, but we do not have guests to burn.”
Commenting on this, the Dillon, South Carolina, Herald,
observes. “When a guest is tempted to light a cigarette in
bed he should think of the Atlanta Hotel holocaust two years
ago when more than a hundred guests burned to death.”
It is an ironical fact that smoking in bed is a major
cause of death by fire—to say nothing of the great property
Oss that also results from it—and that it is also one of the
least excusable and unintelligent things we can do. The smok
er dozes off, the lighted cigarette drops onto flammable
sheets and blankets—and the next step is the morgue.
Many of the most destructive fires stem from such
simple causes. A minimum of thought will prevent them, and
a minimum of care will banish the danger. The main goal of
fire prevention lies in public education—for it is the human
factor that keeps our fire waste at such terrible levels

who with his wife, Mary, and the
Nelson brothers, Bert and Cliftard,
operate the farm.
It was Art’s brainchild to use the
recorder, in "running traps" —
checking up on the hens to find out
which ones arc laying and which
ones are "lying."
It’» done this way: Four days a
week tljc trap is set. When the hen
crawls in a nest a trap door closes
behind her. She can’t get out until
one of the partner» lets her out.
Each hen then is given a number
which is on a metal tab placed
around her leg. When anyone "runs
the traps", he wears a small micro
phone, presses the small mike but

bird’s tag, and then gives the num-

There are several conditions
which can affect the fertility of a
breeding poultry flock. Experts say
it is a good plan to wait for a week
or 10 days after males have been
put with the flock before starting
to save eggs that arc to be used
for hatching.
Weather conditions, vigor of
males, size of flock, condition of
layers, and number of males arc
some of the important factors.
WHEN THE 12 REPRESENTATIVES of Red China reach U N. headquarters at
Lake Success, N. Y., they will be asked what they intend to do about
Chinese intervention in the Korean war. They are expected to bring tip
the issue of Formosa. Meanwhile, developments in Tibet and Indo-Chlna
cruse world concern about Chinese aggression in Asia. Lhasa, Tibetan
capital, has reportedly been taken by the Reds and India worries over
events in Nepal. Arrows indicate all trouble spots.
