Brown Patter Medford Germany regime. They are being used. "There were a lot of people who had a jolly good time under Hitler," she said, blunt ly. "I believe they are the ones influencing our juven iles." Mrs. Kay is the appointed chief of the Youth Ministry, which has a dual job to direct the recreation and sports program and also help handle the problems of wel fare and delinquency. Crime is Increasing Through an interpreter, she talked of the juvenile delin quency rate among West Ber lin's 2.2 million persons. "It is high enough," she said, "but I do not believe it is as high as yours in the United States or in some other European countries." Mrs. Kay said that in each of the last two years, 3.33 per cent of all West Berlin youth betwen 14 and 21 had been charged with a crime. Most frequent act: Breaking some traffic law. The rate has declined from the immediate post-war years, she said, but today West Ber lin officials have an alarming new problem. "Youth crimes are becom ing more severe. In that per centage for the last two year.,, we have more thievery, more robberies, more murders than previously," she said. The minister, who has spent most of her adult years in social work, believes that par ents more than young people must be blamed for delin quency. "It seems to me," she said, "that our older generation lost during and after the war its standards ... its sense of the worthwhile. Want to Live Well "Many families in Berlin, for instance, had their homes wiped out quickly, Now, in stead of re-establishing and buying furniture, they satisfy the need of the moment - good clothing, good food, a new car, a television set. 'Their attitude is reflected their children. Parents seem to nave no time for dis cussing thingh with the chil cussing things with the chil had not long ago, a case of a 16-year-old youth who mur dered both parents. He told authorities his parents always had given him enough money . . . but never any of tneir time." She believes the solution to teen-age crime is the same, though, in any city - "team work between parents, social workers, teachers, church icders. and others in the community."

EASTER WIDE SELECTION 8'5 i'Vjt Natural Njrr3&W fffjj colored ffijjjjjy TERRIFIC VALUES DONT MISS THEM! Coloring Easter Eggs Family Fun Coloring eggs at Easter is family fun. Children love it, particularly adding fancy or funny designs, and they should be a part of the activ ity. Doing Easter eggs together makes for a fine family tra dition to carry on over the years. All packaged egg dyes on the market are made accord ing to the U. S. Food and Drug administration's stand ards. The dyes are certified to be pure and are safe and harmless to use on eggs or in food. Neither will the dyes stain washable surfaces or fab rics, so Mother need have no fear if some are spilled. Just a few hints for getting best results: Always use fresh, white eggs. Eggs that have been in storage or chemically treated to preserve them will not dye well. The eggs should be hard boiled, of course, and the colors will be brighter if they are dyed while hot. To prevent the shell from cracking in the water, pierce the rounded bottom end (not the pointed end) with a needle or pin. This releases pressure from a small air pocket lo cated at the bottom of the egg which otherwies would crack the shell. Do not let the eggs be un refrigerated for too long a time, especially if they are to be used in sandwiches, salads or other dishes after the holi day. For an attractive Easter centerpiece, arrange the color ed eggs in a low bowl or bas ket. Encircle these with ani mal figures made of colored hardboiled eggs as the bodies and cut-out pieces for the heads and stands. Or these can be used as place favors with names written across the eggs. Coloring and decorating ma terial for the eggs shown is available in Easter egg color ing kits on sale at super mar kets, grocery, drug and five and ten cent stores everywhere.
