Berlin - il'PD - The woman

candidly of her alarm con
cerning an international prob
lem - the reappearance of the

"Yes," said Mrs. Ella Kay,
in an interview, "we have
had, as you have had, the
signs of neo-Nazism. Most of
the incidents have involved
young people.
"But I do not believe it is
their fault. I think they arc

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."

TERRIFIC VALUES

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.
