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."

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.

four confessed. 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

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

minors out of Ihelr pitfalls after
two years and three weeks of coun
