Parents Growing
Says Institute for
Kew York (U.R) Parents
grow tougher On their children
as juvenile crime goes higher.
The head of the Youth Re
search Institute of New York
says that teen-agers who never
have had a run-in with the law
have a new gripe these days.
They complain they suffer every
time a juvenile crime is re
ported in their community, be
cause parents get stricter.
"Every time I put on lipstick,
my mother says I'm headed for
delinquency," a 14 - year - old
Topeka, Kas., girl told the In
stitute. "I wish they wouldn't play up
Juvenile delinquency so much,"
said a teen-aged boy in Augusta,
Me. "My pop hits the ceiling
when he reads one of those
headlines."
The head of the Institute, Les
ter Rand, said his interviewers
talk with about 30,000 teen
agers each year to determine
their thinking on various prob
lems. One Stop Service
Station-Type Pier
Is Couples Idea
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) An
enterprising Oakland couple has
an idea that may well revolu
tionize the local sea produce in
dustry a one-stop super-service
station for West Coast commer
cial fishing fleets.
Mr. and Mrs. George Evans,
recently took a 10-year lease on
a battered wharf on the Oakland
Estuary. They transformed the
sagging pier into a sort of sea
going supermarket where fisher
men will be able to obtain a
O variety of needs, from canned
goods to a new boat.
There the tired sailors also
will be able to shave, shower
and, in the best general store
tradition, catch up on all the
latest news.
Several entirely new struc
tures have been built by Evans
in anticipation of his mariner
customer's desires. Among these
are a huge weighing platform to
.judge the day's catch, and an
ice-house to furnish that all-imr
portant preservative to salmon
and albacore that are still a long
way from the cannery.
Time-iaver
The pier, which the farsighted
husband - and - wife team also
plans to use as a storage quar
ters for winter - bound boats,
is now prepared to accept and
care for between 25 and 30 fish
jng vessels.
One advantage of an opera
tion such as theirs, the Evanses
feel, is that crewmen will be
able to save a full day or two of
valuable fishing time by doing
all of their "shopping" in one
place instead of moving from
mooring to mooring. This fac
tor, plus the added attraction of
waters many coastal fishermen
have never ventured into before,
may help to make their "dream"
: profitable reality.
Local citizens agree that if
this project meets its fullest po
tential, San Francisco's Fisher
man's Wharf may find itself
contending -with a good deal of
competition.
Mechanic-storekeeper Evans
already has his first maintenance

many such agreements with

"Tougher"
Research
Rand said that parents, in
trying to keep their children
outside the widening circle of
delinquency, are becoming in
creasingly "hard" on the young
sters, and the teenagers feel
their elders are going to ex
tremes.
"I used to stay up until mid
night on Saturday nights," a 16-year-
old San Francisco girl
said. "But with all this delin
quency talk, I have to do lots of
hollering to stay out until 11:30.
wow, my mother wants me to
make it 11. How ridiculous can
you get?"
A 17-year-old boy in Miami,
Fla. told Rand, "I had the family
chariot all lined up for the
school dance when a couple of
teen-agers stole a car and ran
over a cop. You would think I
did it. I ended up riding the bus
and had a lot of explaining to
do to my girl friends too."
Rand said parents seem to be
tightening the controls in sev
eral ways by insisting on
earlier curfew for the children,
by screening their friends more
carefully, keeping a more thor
rough check on the youngsters'
daily activities, cutting their al
lowances and putting new curbs
on dating.. "But many of the
youngsters resent this," said
Rand. "They feel they are ma
ture enough to take care of
themselves."
"Blue jeans now are taboo for
us," a 16-year-old Cleveland, O.,
girl said. "Our mothers won't
let us wear them at all because
they make us look too tough."
The new discipline has not
revived spanking. Rand said
parents seem to feel that teen
agers are too old for such pun
ishment and that the withholding
of privileges is a stronger
weapon.
Article Traces
Housing Efforts
Chicago (U.R) The story or
World War II housing construc
tion for war workers and what
has happened to the huge proj
ects since is told in the Journal
of Housing, monthly magazine
of the National Association of
Housing and Redevelopment Of
ficials. The article traces the two-fold
effort to provide homes for the
thousands of families that mi
grated to man the war plants
and then, once the war was over
to return to the normal housing
market.
Originally, there were almost
a million units built for war
housing. By the end of this year
there will be only about 130,
000 left to be disposed of, the
Journal said.
New towns which sprung up
on raw land furnished the most
spectacular events of the war
housing program. Among these
was Vanport City, Ore., a town
of 10,000 temporary units for
40,000 persons, built in a year
m& 11 days.
This town was demolished by
the flood of 1948. and unused
temporary war housing build
ings were rushed to the area to
shelter flood victims.
Another "new town" was Wil
low Run, near Detroit, Mich.,
built to house more than 20,000
war workers. At the war's end
it became home for returning
veterans. By 1946, 1,200 mar
ried students of the University
of Michigan were living there
and more were coming in at the
rate of about 50 families a
month.

San Francisco Hospital
Gives Psychiatric Help
San Francisco (U.R) A
unique municipal undertaking
headed by the youngest medical
graduate in University of South
em Californias history gives
new hope to scores of mental pa
tients who otherwise would be
lost,
The institution is San Francis
co County Hospital's psychiatric
ward. Its director is 29-year-old
Dr. David Wilson, who received
his M.D. from USC in 1947, the
same year he became eligible to
vote,
"We don't turn anybody away
if he has a chance in 90 days.
That is how Wilson describes
the entrance requirements for
the West's pioneer municipal
mental institution now in its fifth
year of operation
As for the 90 days, that is the
period fixed by city ordinance
in which a so-called "select
group" of patients are treated
with the aim of subsequently re
turning them to society.
Wilson admits he often wishes
he could stretch the time factor
Nonetheless, he proudly reports
he and his staff have met with
success in "over 80 per cent"
of their cases.
Began In 1950
The psychiatric ward came
into being in 1950 after commun
ity agencies had agitated for a
charter amendment to provide
city funds for treatment of men
tal patients.
Before that time, all mentally
sick persons who could not af
ford private hospitalization had
to depend on overcrowded state
facilities.
Actually, San Francisco Coun
ty Hospital acts as a receiving
center for from 4,500 to 5,000
mental patients annually. The
bulk of these are committed to
state institutions because they
cannot be treated under the
strict statutory provisions gov
erning the psychiatric ward.
The ward does not handle
senile patients (whom it consid
ers victims of a form of old age
rather than psychosis), children
or alcoholics, who are referred
to another agency of the city
health department which deals
exclusively in alcoholism.
Must Be Resident
The ward will take any other
mentally ill patient provided he
New Practical Clothes Made
Flameproof and
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) It's harder
for a girl to live dangerously
now, since the latest laboratory
announcements promise flame
proof dresses, crashproof rain
coats and stretchproof sweaters.
Well, the raincoats really
aren't completely crashproof,
but they do light up like neon
signs as soon as the sun goes
down. This protects the wearer
from speeding automobiles, er
rant bicycle rider and near
sighted pedestrians.
These three developments
were previewed separately here
recently, in unique gatherings
planned to accent the highly
practical side of women's fash
ions. A live model stood calmly in
a Ceil Chapman cocktail dress
at one gathering while a man
held a lighted match to the
edge of her skirt. The dress was
made of nylon net, which of it
self has properties that resist
burning. But this particular
nylon net had been treated by
a new process, Worlderized, so
that the stiffened finish was as
flameproof as the nylon con
tent. "It also is water repellant,
crush resistant and has been
treated for shrinkage control,"
the man with the lighted match
said. A small section of the
girl's skirt melted quietly under
the heat, but stopped as soon as
the match was moved.

is a San Francisco resident who
is "medically indigent" and vol
untarily submits to treatment.
The term medically indigent
does not denote pauperism, WiL
son explains it:
"A patient can have a certain
amount of money and still be in
digent by our standards if he
cannot afford to take three
months' hospital treatment
There are a lot of people in that
situation, especially breadwin
ners."
Wilson $ays most of the pa
tients in the "select group" suf
fer from one of the following
mental disorders: schizophrenia
(sDlit personality); depressionism,
characterized by extreme gloom
with or without suicidal tender
cles; middle life mental diseases
(involving both sexes); neuro
syphilitic diseases brought on by
advanced stages of syphilis, and
severe neurotic cases, when a
person is not mentally ill but too
nervous to be stable.
The select group, which aver
ages 30 persons at any one time,
has progressed so well that only
six persons have been committed
from it in the past six months.
Policemen Now Earn
$1,000 More Per Year
Chicago (U.R) Policemen's
pay in the United States has in
creased to a point where they
now earn about $1,000 more per
year than they did five years ago.
According to the International
City Managers' Association, year
ly salaries for new patrolmen
range in average from $3,350 in
cities between 10,000 and 25,000
to $3,900 in cities of more than
500,000.
In 1950, the average entrance
salary was $2,520 in the smaller
population bracket and $3,077 in
the larger.
Maximum salaries for patrol
men now average from $3,700 in
cities of 10,000 to 25,000 and $4,
692 in cities of more than 500,-
000.
Cities also have continued the
trend toward reducing the work
week. In 1954, 132 cities of
more than 10,000 population cut
the work week, 57 of them to
40 hours.

Juvenile Offenses Drop As
Youths Given Summer Jobs
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Too
much time, plus too few jobs,
multiplied by too many young
sters who want something to do.
That's the modern summer vaca
tion formula that leads to a sad
answer a big jump in juvenile
delinquency.
In cities of almost every size
the answer has been proving out
with disheartening regularity
an equation that somehow in re
cent years has succeeded in
turning "kid stuff" and "skylark
ing" into crime.
But another answer has been
found. And surprisingly enough
it's in Berkeley where the prob
lem is particularly difficult be
cause of the thousands of Uni
versity of California students
who have the pick of summer
time jobs.
Called "Work-reation," the
Berkeley program is aimed at
helping the 14-to-17-year-old
boy, the "lost generation" of the
summer months.
The handiwork of a few inter
ested townspeople, "Work-reation"
has attracted the attention
of the state of California and
hundreds of organizations
throughout the country.
"It's the kids who have out
grown their paper routes but
who still are too young for fac
tory or skilled jobs who need
help," Mrs. Marjorie Walker ex
plained. Juvenile Offenses Drop
Mrs. Walker is manager of the
Berkeley office of the State De
partment of Employment and a
major organizer of the program.
"Work-reation is organized
work and organized recreation,
with the whole town behind it,"
she explained.
The teenagers are hired to
work in and improve the city's
parks and schools on a four-hour
work, two-hour-play basis. The
city pays them $3.20 a day. In
return, it gets not only a lessened
delinquency rate, but first class
work on many needed projects
on municipal lands.
Mrs. Walker said that of some
45 boys employed last summer,
a check with police showed 26
of them had a record of 35 juve
nile offenses before working
with the program.
"During the five-week work-and-play
session," she said, "only
one boy was picked up and that
was for a very minor offense.
"Parents tell us the boys who
used to hang around the streets
until 12 or one o'clock at night
go to bed by 10 p.m. when they
are working with us," she said.
To set up the program, a group
of interested citizens meets about
five times a year. Because there
are hundreds of applicants for
the limited number of jobs, the
committee sits two - and-a-half
days screening the boys.
We divide the city into

thirds," Mrs. Walker said, "and
take a third of the boys from
each section. Because we want
to give work experience to all
the youngsters, we give as many
jobs to the sons of wealthy par
ents as we do to those from mid
dle or low-income families."
The city puts up $3,000 a year
to employ 30 boys for the five
week period, with the board of
education adding another $1,500
to hire an additional 15 young
sters. "All the work done by the
boys is of top or number one va
riety," said Harold D. Givens,
Berkeley park superintendedent.
"It eventually would have to be
done by the park department
men themselves.
"The boys worked well and
followed orders. . . The experi
ment has proved valuable not
only to the youngsters but to the
city as well."
So successful, in fact, has the
program proved, that the ad
joining city of Oakland is plan
ning to put 150 boys to work
this summer on the same work
play basis.
A bill has been submitted to
the California legislature calling
for $500,000'to establish a state
wide version of "Work-reation."
And Mrs. Walker has hundreds
of letters from organizations and
agencies all over the country in
terested in the program.
"It's a wonderful program,"
she said. "The only sad thing is
that we have to turn away so
many of the boys who want to
work because of limited funds."

Credit Buying Cause of
More Newlywed Homes
Chicago (U.R) More newly
weds own their own homes than
ever before in the history of the
country, due to credit buying,
according to Richard Nelson, a
real estate research man.
Nelson said:
"Homes are becoming directly
competitive with apartments in
view of the low down payments
and long period of amortization
which makes it possible for a
young couple with very little
liquid savings to buy a house on
their own," he said.
Figures show that between 10
and 20 per cent of the newlyweds
plan on their own homes in pre
ference to renting, Nelson said.
