I! asked him, therefore, If he thought I the oflice ol youth counselor could i be effective in helping the young i people of Bend who had been lick- j ed by their troubles. I "It could be effective." said , Duke, "under a different setup. By slate law it is mandatory that each i county shall have a juvenile de partment. It should be a county department as the law requires, I separate from law enforcement i and recreation departments. 1 New Setup SiiEBCHted "The juvenile counselor should i act as a friend and helper of boys and girls who need it. Many will I seek his assistance, some will be I sent to him. His power as peace officer should be used only for young people who have been put under probation; and used wisely , with a sincere purpose to help. It , Is a social work, not a law enforce ment job.'' In his two years as a mixture of friend and policeman for the youth j of Bend, Warner came to some def inite conclusions. One of these is that juries in Deschutes county will rarely convict, regardless of the evidence, a minor. Nor will they convict an adult charged with con tributing to a minor's delinquency. Some, cases were cited by War ner In which primary witnesses had testified to the guilt of minor and adult defendants in which they escaped punishment of any kind. But juveniles "are racked into court." ' In cases involving the posses sion of beer, Warner pointed out that quite often a policeman stops ; a car and charges every occupant with the crime if he finds so much as a full bottle or two of the 11-, legal beverage. ! "The juveniles are brought into court," said Warner, "and often are sentenced by the judge. Some serve time in jail and in other cases the sentences are suspended. We often know the identity of the adult who illegally furnished the beer to them. If he is brought to trial, ho gets off. "It Is hot the court's fault. Juries seem to feci they can't do any thing when minors or juveniles are Involved in law violations. It has got to the point where the district attorney will not often even issue a complaint against minors or adults charged with juveniles be cause he knows he cannot get a conviction."

He likes it better. man told him: "I would like to join, bat I have five kids at home and my spare time Is for them." Warner smiled. "It was sort of refreshing to me," he commented. Warner said he had no complete solution to offer, but he did sug gest that a juvenile counselor could be selected by the county and put to work separately from the city or state police, the sheriff and his deputies, or the court judges. Such a counselor would be notified when an allegation was filed against, a juvenile. He would study the case and advise the arresting officer or the court of his findings, buf he would never be required to appear in the role of prosecutor against the youth.

The juveniles were given sentences in jail by the juve nile court judge. The minors were referred to the Circuit court. They were not even charged because the district attorney knew the jury would acquit them in a rape case. Warner said he found very few "real delinquents" in Bend and In nearly all such cases there was a complete correlation of delinquen cy and poor home situation. "The best kids will get into trou ble once in a while," he observed. "They are nearly always, involved in things that are legal for adults bi(t not for juveniles or minors such things as being out after hours and drinking or possessing alcoholic beverages. They seldom are accused of burglaries or other felonies." ' j Warner explained that his mean ing of "poor home situation" did not Imply lack of money.

IIIC.OINS , Bulletin Staff Writer Any one clever enough to stuff toothpaste back through the slot of Its tube could solve the yquth prol lem of today, maybe. At least he would have a chance. There are many olhers who could solve it. Among them are the ones who put their foot down. It's time to put your foot down, said Mrs. O. B. Fuscnte, alter reading about the antics of some of the so called hellhound younger genera tion. Mrs. 0. B. Fuscnte put her font down hard on a little puddle of water. It splashed In all directions. She wound up with mud In her eye. ' The Laissez ( pronounced like "Lazy") Falro family next door had observed what Papa Faire called "another Obfuscation." Pa pa said Mrs. Fuscate's maiden name was flea Wilder. "She'll have to got the mud out of her eye before she cun do uny . thing else," said Faire. "Pull up your suspenders, Pops," his daughter Dazzlepuss, advised Faire, "or your pantsle fall down." The Falres believed in solving the youth problem by letting It solve itsall. That's the line the Bend City Commission took last May when it decided lo gel along without a youth counselor after George K. Warner resigned. A sort of "let Nature take Its course" or "give Its curse" Idea. George Is better known as "Duke" Warner. It seemed reason able to ask If he had found any cer tain method to pull Juveniles and minors out of Ihelr pitfalls after two years and three weeks of coun seling them. No one else had asked him up to this writing. Duke had some Ideas. But first, a bit of rec ord: One Too Many Biwwii Duke Warner took the job of youth counselor on May 8. 1ft He was chosen from Hmong number of applicants, lie quit vol untarily on May 31, 1957. The rec ord showed that the local pol',1 and court liked him and officials approved ol what he had done. The majority of Bend citizens didn't know much about l. A scattering of Individuals and groups thought he had been shoveling smoke About the same smnll percent- .,.e ihe individuals not being Identical In all rases fiwwns up on nearly every public olflcial with a good record. Duke explained lasl May why he quit, lie was trying to work under divided county and city authority In a dual capacity of friendly ad visor to teenarers with problems, and as Juvenile court officer. The two d:dn't mix. Months before he resigned, he asked for a different arransemenl. No serious attention was paid to him. At least nothing was done A little stir was made by a citizen who suggested that the Job he vir tually abandoned. The city commission tunvl down the citizen but Warner de cided he had no chance of getting what he wanted, and i-esigneil I found Duke in his new joh as rs,e worker for the Desohute rounv Welfare department.
