2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Ore., Youth Delinquency Topic Ot Police Chief Champlin 'Warning Signs of Trou ble" was the topic discussed by Chief Charles Champlin of the Medford City Police de partment before a large au dience at a meeting of Mc Loughlin Parent Teacher as ' sociation last week. Chief Champlin began ' by - stating that last year 46 per cent of all people arrested for major crime were under the ;ago of 13 years, which indi- cates a real problem and re- sponsibility for and ,to the teenager of Junior High ; school age. Chief Champlin emphasized that the prime responsibility lies with the parents since the home is the ' basic unit of civilization. Children are not born bad, he said. Generally speaking, the children who lack guid- . ance and moral training at home are much more apt to become bad. This lack of guidance at home, Chief I Champlin continued, adds up : to parental delinquency, of ; which there is an abundance. The speaker mentioned a number of ways in which ; parents can help prevent de- ; linquency in their children. In the first place, parents ! should be well adjusted in- . dividuals themselves, both in the home and in the commu ' nity, and form good living 'habits as an example for , their children, the chief said. Parents should be consistent about rules, establish . them and stick with them. "Don't , uphold your child in error, or permit him knowingly to break the law, or boast to your child of your violating ; the law and not getting caueht " he stressed. Chief Champlin further continued that parents should know where their children are and : Teaching Aids To Be Subject -Of Talent PTA Talent Visual and audio aids will be displayed at a meeting of Talent Parent-Tea- cher association Thursday, October 23, at 8 p.m. at Tal- - ent High school.

Buster Brown 15 South Central Wednesday, October 22. 1958 not always take their word for it. He added that there are more temptations at night. Home Stressed Parents should encourage their children to bring their friends into their home, the chief said, and should plan family-unit activities. "Make your children feel wanted and loved," he said. It is a sad thing to hear some de linquent children say they aren't wanted at home." Outside of the home, Chief Champlin stated, the commu nity has secondary responsi bility to the children and youth. It does what it can to help through the schools, churches and Sunday Schools and the many youth organiza tions such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and others as well as the police department's own Pal Club and school safety programs, etc. Chief - Champlin concluded his talk by saying that there is no one solution to Juvenile Delinquency. "We must all share the responsibility in giving our youth a better form of guidance and moral training which-will be-of real value to them as they, grow up." Dr. Tom Anderson, pro gram chairman, presented the program and introduced Chief Champlin to the association. tMrs. Bill Rambo, associa tion president, conducted a business meeting and intro duced officers and committee chairman for the year. Glenn .Linn, school principal, intro duced the faculty and other schobl personnel. Mr. Linn also invited parents to visit their child's classes at school.

Officials report that the J D rate has climbed steadily since World War II, although crimes of violence are less frequent than in the United States. Last year, 6 per cent of Ja pan's 14-20 age group (or 670,000 teenagers) were in volved in some sort of act calling for police action, re ports the Women's and Mi nors' Bureau of the Ministry of -Labor. Some 120,000 were arrested for criminal offenses alone. Mrs. Setsu Tanino, bureau director, said, that the num ber one teenage crime is sex offenses: the second is theft.

Your Charge New Japan unavailable, but the Nation al Police department said that "since the war, crimes committed by juveniles have increased for a certainty." One authority K o h e i Hayashi compared pre-war to post-war life, to show the "why" of increase. Hayashi is advisor to the security section for. juvenile delinquency, of the National Police 'Depart ment. He pointed out that family relations were not the same in post-war democratic days as in "f eudalistic" Japan; family ties are looser, the "dignity" of parents has de creased in a child's eyes. The education standards have changed. Before the .war, schools preached ideals and a strong moral code. Now the emphasis is on "realism" and the individual is consid ered before society. Before the war it was just the op posite, said Hayashi. Community Life Disorganised Community life is disor ganized. Hayashi said neigh bors used to help each other; today there is a "mind your own business" attitude. And, said Hayashi, there have been many changes in evaluation of prominent people.- Before the war, the emperor was considered "al most sacred," No longer so "This," he said, "has caused the teenager to change' at titude toward evaluating soc ial life. . ." What is Japan doing about its J-D problem? Various groups are sponsor ing legislation to force early closing of all-night coffee and teahouses, many of which have become teenager haunts, In areas where there is a J-D concentration, the police department and private citi zens have joined in anti-de-linauencv campaigns. In one slum area of Tokushima city, for instance, lawlessness was so rampant even the police entered cautiously. One wo man resident volunteered to hear a camDaign. with police, neighborhood and teach' as sistance.
