By PRESTON McGRAW UPI Correspondent Amarillo, Tex. (UPD Cal Farley, who has had spectacu lar success in making good citizens out of nearly 1,400 homeless or delinquent boys at his Boys Ranch, thinks a "lack of raising" is at the bottom of the nation's juve nile delinquency problem. He estimates that 97 or 98 per cent of the boys sent to his ranch are from broken homes. Farley agrees that a broken home, particularly when a mother winds up with the children, contributes to delinquency. "When you take the father out of a home, you take out the police department," he said, i He thinks that .the migra tion from country to city and the automobile also are big factors. "It's too bad," he said, "that we can't take all the kids in America to the country and raise them until they are 18 without an automobile." Broken homes aside, he thinks that plain boredom lack of something to do is responsible for a big percent age of delinquency in cities. Affection Plentiful Kids at ,Boys Ranch get plenty of friendship and af fection, but no opportunity for boredom. "You have to keep them on a daily, routine," Farley said. "You have got to tell a kid when to get up and when to eat and when to go to bed. "It's the most healthy thing you can do for him. A boy is tickled to death when he gets a positive yes' or 'no' answer. "He doesn't want a half- Encyclopedia Lists New Phrases Chicago (UPD The 1958 Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year came up with a list of words and phrases that crept into the English lan guage last year, possibly while you weren't looking. A sampling: "Calypsoma niac" a lover of calypso music; "artsaker" one who believes strongly in art for the sake of art; "televenglish" a TV performer's own brand of speech; "cinnebabe" a shapely movie starlet; "meter maid" a policewom an who writes up parking tickets. There's also "moonwa'tch er" someone who spends his time looking for earth satel lies; and "monlighter" some one who holds two jobs at the same time. And don't iorget "egyptian ize" to expropriate foreign holdings, as a wife going through the pockets of her husband. hearted answer. I think a positive 'no' makes a boy happier than a half-hearted 'yes.' "The happiest kids in Amer ica are those who are told what to do. We get boys at the ranch and we treat them like the army does. "The main thing is to keep them busy. They never stop doing something. And it's good for them, because a boy never runs out of steam, only momentarily. Athletics at Bedtime "We even have athltics for our boys just before they go to bed. If you run the wind out of a kid, he'll lie down in stead of throwing rocks." Farley never lectures a boy. If he's a tough one and tells Farley he intends to keep on being tough, Farley tells him somethink like, "Well, Jim, your string has run out here." Boys who have already seen the light enforce discipline It generally doesn't take long and when a boy fits himself into the daily routine of the big ranch he doesn't have much opportunity to back slide. Farley tries to educate his boys. Some learn how to be come ranchers and farmers. Some get scholarships to col lege. Farley thinks that if he can get a boy for as long as 18 months he can straighten him out. Program Differs He is behind a program in Amarillo called "Kids, Inc.," in which 4,200 youngsters par ticipated last year. Kids, Inc., is an athletic program base ball in spring and summer, football in fall, basketball in winter. It differs from most organ ized athletic programs in that every kid who joins gets to play. There is no question about . his making the team; there is always a team he can make. Farley thinks that this is where most organized athletic programs fall short. They em phasize winning and a kid who is under-sized or not an expert athlete is dropped. In a recent issue of the Boys Ranch newspaper, "Boys Ranch Roundup," Farley said in an editorial that "the best possible investment any American can make is in our greatest natural resource boys."

Great Britain to Buy More Pears. Canned Fruit Washington (UPD Great Britain will buy $200,000 more pears and two and a half times more canned decid uous fruit in 1958-59 than last year from the northern hemis phere dollar area, a British Embassy spokesman said Wed nesday.

Second GrowtH Forestry Ways Seen in Sweden Corvallis An American forestry tour group to Sweden got a good preview of mange ment practices in second growth stands that will be used in Oregon in the not too distant future. That's the observation of Dr. J. R. Dilworth, Oregon State college forestry profes sor and leader of the tour. The second-growth practices observed include a careful thinning of young stands to improve quality of final harv est and salvage of small trees Guide Dog Day Set for 4-H'ers Six Jackson County 4-H'ers will leave today to attend the Annual 4-H Guide Dog Field Day to be held at Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc., San Ra fael, Calif., Aug. 7.

The 22 tour members, in cluding 14 Oregonians, attend ed the Swedish-American For estry conference, cosponsored by Oregon State college. After Garbage Truck Sporty Vehicle Savannah, Ga. (UPD There probably is no more splendid garbage truck in the country than the one operated in Sa vannah by Robert Robinson. The vehicle, called the "Green Hornet," bristles with mirrors, toy pistols, flags, and a wide variety of other articles the 56-year-old Robinson has collected in 27 years of work, seven days a week. There are eight side mir rors. And on the front bump er are mounted two 90-millimeter artillery shells, their belligerent appearance soft ened by the doll's heads fas tened atop each one and the flags flying alongside. The "Green Hornet" gets a fresh coat of wax and a good polishing every day. The wheels are painted a new color (always bright) every two weeks. When it rains, Robinson coats the truck with oil, which is removed when the skies clear. At night the vehicle is covered with canvas to protect it from the elements. Says garbage-collector Rob inson: "Keeping things clean is just my way."

Regeneration Better methods of regener ation following the harvest cuts in order to maintain for est lands in a productive con dition were found in all coun tries visited, Dilworth said. Swedish foresters have been on a second-growth economy for 100 years so their experi ences are broad and complete under a variety of conditions, Dilworth went on. Also seen was special logging equip ment adaptable to smaller logs which Oregon and Washington foresters will be cutting in 20 years. Sweden's economic situa tion is more similar to Ore- gon's than any other European country, Dr. Dilworth noted. Sweden and Oregon are both large exporters of forest pro ducts and about 60 cents of every payroll $1 comes from the forest products industry. Danish scientists are recog nized world-wide for their skills in developing hybride and superior forest planting stock. The Danes are trying to tailor the tree to industry requirements a high quality, fast-growing tree with less limbs and good form. 1 H i Rff ll!!),Uill)lk IsJIfils TTQJjIjvJA0 1 - c . It requires real skill. There are people at Bumble Bee who have been picking the best of the tuna catch for 20 years or more. They're tough judges. How do they do it? They pick tuna with a light, clean color and a bright, fresh look. It must have that fine, fresh, just-out-of-the-sea smell. Gills are examined. Meat is tested for solidity and firmness. Maybe you can pick the winners now, a and b. They have that true Bumble Bee, quality. The others were good, but not good enough for the Bumble Bee experts, who feel that careful selection of tuna makes uni form fine eating.
