County Juvenile
Department Plans
More Activities
The juvenile department of
Jackson county, with the aid
of volunteer committees, plans
to broaden Its activities in the
field of juvenile crime and
delinquency prevention.
Circuit Judge Edward C.
Kclley, who handles most
juvenile matters for the court,
last night told some two dozen
interested citizens that the
court is seeking ideas, and
help, in the matter.
The meeting, held at the
juvenile detention home, came
to the conclusion that possi
bilities exist in the field, that
Veterans Hospital
Funds Restored
In House Vote
Washington-HOT-The House
approved an $8,182,067,400
catch-all money bill today
after overwhelmingly reject
ing a proposed cut in veterans
hospital funds.
By a roll call vote of 218
155, the House endorsed a Republican-led
drive to restore
a $35,900,000 reduction in
Veterans Administration hos
pital funds. The House then
passed the bill by voice vote,
sending it to the Senate.
$75 Million Asked
The administration has ask
ed for $75 million for VA
hospital construction, but the
House Appropriations Com
mittee recommended only
$39,100,000. The bulk of the
reduction involved $11,714,
000 for a 500-bed hospital at
Martinez, Calif., and $19,760,
000 for a 700-bed hospital
here.
Republicans failed to re
store the reduction Tuesday
on a standing vote but put
across their amendment today
on the roll call.'""'
The bill carried funds for
19 separate agencies for the
bookkeeping year which be
gins July 1. As approved it
fell $234,829,600 below the
administration's request.

Moratorium on Building
Ashland Terminated by C
Ashland A moratorium on
building permits restricting
construction of dwellings of
more than one unit last night
was terminated by the Ash
land city council.
The moratorium had been
passed by the 'council March
1. As a result of last night's
action, dwellings of two or
more units may now be con
structed. The council, after hearing
a favorable recommendation
from the cily planning com
mission, also voted to accept
a preliminary plat submitted
by Ashland resident H. A.
Merrill for construction of
Fairmont subdivision. The
subdivision would be located
in the the area of Courtney
and Guthrie sis.
Resignation Accepted
Resignation of Christian P.
Hald from the planning com
mission and the cconomic.de

accepted "with regrets" by
the council.
they merit further study, and
that members of the group
will remain "on call," as a
group or as individuals, to as
sist as they may when called
upon.
Meanwhile, Judge Kelly
said the proceedings of last
night's meeting will be studied
by the juvenile court advisory
council, which is charged by
law with counseling the court
on matters of juvenile de
linquency ' prevention and
treatment.
First in Stat
Judge Kelly explained that
Jackson county, under the
leadership of Judge H. K.
Hanna, now retired, was the
first in the state to set up
such a council. The 1959 leg
islature, in writing a new
juvenile code, used many of
the ideas formulated in Jack
son county, and now requires
that such councils be named
in each county of 10,000 or
more population.
It also boardened the role
of the council from treatment
and enforcement matters into
the field of prevention, which
resulted in last night's meet
ing. Such action has been
contemplated here for some
three years, Kelly explained.
Representatives of the
schools, the Boy Scouts, the
YMCA, the Salvation Army,
law enforcement officers, and
others attended and partici
pated in the discussions.
'Borrow Their Brains'
The court hopes to "borrow
their brains," Judge Kelly
said.
It was geneally agreed that
breakdowns in the home are
among the most frequent
causative factors in delin
quency and juvenile crime,
and that one of the problems
society faces in attempting to
protect itself is to detect de
viant behavior in children
early enough so that preven
tive treatment can be under
taken effectively. , .
.. Judge Kelly reported, that
there was a slight drop in de
linquency cases last year,
which was attributed to the
employment of couselors by
the department. But he point
ed out that with population
rising, and with general in
creases in juvenile problems
throughout the nation, it is
more urgent than ever to look
ahead in the prevention field.
Three Kinds Noted i
There are three kinds of
youngsters of concern to
juvenile authorities, it was
pointed out. The first is the
youngster already in trouble.
The courts are set up to
handle him to the best of their
ability. But the other two, the
youngster who, because of a
wide variety of difficulties, is
"headed for" trouble, and the
one who is "just drifting"
into trouble, are now outside
the scope of juvenile work.
Suggestions for better case
findings and referral, through
the schools and police agen
cies, were made during the
general discussion. And while
various methods, such as
counseling,, guidance, more
work opportunities (including
youth work camps), were
made, the group also was gen
erally agreed, that the entire
moral tenor of the community
is one of the most important
factors in delinquency and
crime prevention.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, Judge Kelly said the
discussion and recommenda
tions would be studied, and
an organizational framework
designed to put them into
effect.
Mayor Richard L. Neill ap-
pointed Edd E. Rountree to
the economic develop m e n t
commission, succeeding Hald.
No appointment to the plan
ning commission was made.

Residents Protest
Dog Control Law
In Jacksonville
Jacksonvllle-Ncarly 70 citi
zens packed the city hall here
last night for a city council
meeting which, for most of
the time, was more like an
SPCA convention.
The citizens turned out to
wage open warfare against a
cily ordinance "prohibiting
dogs from running at large."
One woman may have
summed it up pretty well
when she told the council:
"I'm kinda for the under
dog." The council was presented
a petition requesting that a
dog control law be placed on
the ballot for the Nov. 8 gen
eral elections. Roy -A. Clark
served as a spokesman for the
33 persons who had signed
the petition.
Accept Petition
The council accepted the
petition and said it believed
20 signatures were necessary
to put the measure on the bal
lot. It told the petitioners it
would refer the matter to the
city attorney to see if that
figure were correct, and also
to insure that all signers were
registered voters.
Clark told the council that
the petition had been drawn
up--' and signed during the
three hours prior to the meet
ing's start at 8 p.m.
The ordinance causing the
furore was passed by the
council March 15 and states
that dogs within the city lim
its must be "upon a Jeash or
accompanied by some person
capable of controlling such
dog." Convcition for violating
the ordinance Is punishable
by a fine of $5 to $50 or by a
jail term of not more than 30
days or by both the Jail sen
tence and fine.
Chance le Speak
Each citizen who wished to
do so was given a chance to
speak his piece. Often the
statements were heated and
more than once they seemed
to be based on personal con
flicts rather than the ordi
nance as it affects Jackson
ville residents as a whole.
Mayor E. O. Graham even
gave an angry young man,
probably about nine years of
age, an opportunity to let off
some steam.
" "Would you feel very nice,"
the boy questioned, "if you
were tied to a fence?"
"Well," replied the mayor,
"I've been tied down a time
or two."
One man directed most of
his remarks at Police Chief
Frank Carter, whose duty it
is to enforce the ordinance.
Job to Enforce Law
Mayor Graham told the
man it was Carter's job to en
force the law but that the
council would check to see if
the chief were "stepping out
of line."
After the meeting, Graham
and the councllmen expressed
the opinion that last night's
protest was an old story for
small town democracies. No
one attends the public hear
ings but a lot of people hit
the warpath after a law has
been passed.
Officials said the hearings
had been well-advertised so
that Jacksonville residents
could air their views but that
there didn't seem to be much
community Interest one way
or another.
"People just don't take any
Interest," said one official,
"until their toes have been
stepped on."

The uprising which started
