Calif.
All were successful in the hunt
and returned to their homes on
Tuesday.
The audience took an active
part in the panel discussion re

brought out that there is no
agency other than law enforce
ment agencies, to investigate
complaints against juveniles, to
gather background of the case
and to evaluate it before it is
presented to the juvenile judge.
The new juvenile code in the
state of Oregon requires that
there be such an agency in each
county.
