'Lack of Raising'
Seen at Bottom of
Juvenile Problems
(Editor's note: This is the see
on of two dispatches telling the
story of Cal Farley and his
amazing success in moulding
"good boys" at his Boys Ranch.)
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."

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."

Sweden's economic situa

Sweden and Oregon are both
large exporters of forest pro
