o o O O O o Pe-Schooi Years Said Best Time To Curb Juvenile Delinquency Tendency) B LOUIS CkgSBHSi Washington -flBJ- To rsu child from Juvcttlkt delin quency, you much reh him while he'i very young - long before he lUrtk to Khool. Tht U the lessen tocUl Scientists rmve learned from the failure of a five-year ex periment in delinquency pre vention. The experiment wu con ducted by Washington's Youth Council In two elementary schools located in alum areas of the city. It showed that the seeds of delinquency are sown so deep ly within some poor and ne glected children by the time they reach school age that preventive measures are vir tually useless at that point. Results Convincing The results are particularly convincing since that was not what the project was sup posed to prove. Sponsors originally believ ed that the first year of school was early enc ugh to identify and begin trying to help po tential delinquents. They picked 37 children from family settings condu cive to delinquency, and pro vided maximum social wel fare and health services to those children and their fam ilies. But at the end of five years, the incidence of delinquency among the 3? children was higlftr than in a .control group of childreu from similar back grounds who received no help at all. The Youth Council conclud ed that delinquency preven tion must begin in the home, and must concentrate on strengthening family life so that children are protected from demoralizing influences in their pre-srhool years. Family Environment A similar conclusion was Implicit in research findings pijplished a few months ago by Doctors Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck, husband-and-wlfe team at Harvard Law School. They found fronva study of 1,000 case histories that the main causative factors in juve nile delinquency is the kind of family environment a child has during his pre -school years. Overly-harsh discipline by fathers, lack of supervision oy moiners, aeniai oz anec tion by either or both parents, and an absence of family "cohesiveness" were pinpoint ed as the specific home con ditions which are most likely to warp a child in his earliest years and head him toward eventual delinquency. If the root causes of delin quency have been tvaced to a child's Immediate family rela tionships In the earliest years of life, what can society do about it? Specifically, how can community agencies reach a potential delinquent before he starts school? The W a s h i n g ton Youth Council recommended two things: First, It urged that the city act up a central welfare agency to help "problem fam ilies" as a whole. The agency would try to provide all of the various counseling, health and welfare services which particular family needs in order to become a stable unit. This approach would be a radical change from the pre vailing pattern of welfare services, in which many so cial agencies attempt separ ately to cope with various as pects of a dependent family's problems. 'Therapeutic Communities' Second, the council lecom mended the establishment of "therapeutic communities1' in which seriously disorganized families could live while their complex social disorders are subjected to intensive diag nosis and treatment, much as physical illnesses are treated to a medical clinic. These centers might be set up In public housing projects or in a rural setting. The council noted that this kind of LtmAnF hat nrnved hishly successful In The Netherlands. Neither of these proposals is a simple, cheap cure-all for juvenile delinquency. But the evidence Is mounting thaUno such panacea is going to be found. It looks as If American communltlea will have to roll, up their sleeves and do it the hard way If they really want to curb the steady and fright ening tlse in delinquency.

Definition To From frignoon Is Touchy Washington -(UPD- This is. of course, the age of science and technology, and you hear a lot of talk about the increas ingly important role in soci ety of scientists and engi neers. It gravels both scientists and engineers, however, to be lumped together as though they were identical. They say there's a difference. Well, what i.s it? And what is this "scientific method" which sci entists claim as their own? Scientists and engineers thengelves find it hard to come up with definitions which congressional and other laymen will understand. Bft they sometimes have fun try ing. Definition Offered At a panel on science and technology conducted by the house space committee Dr. Martin Goland, president of the Southwest Research Insti tute, offered a definition of the scientific method which he credited to "a very cynical mend ol mine." This is it: "You take a chemist and you sit him down one evening and you take three ounces of good bourbon whiskey and a Model Li A Ml 'i " ' J Pugr li - mj ill N lKTA MIGHTY LOW PRICE.

Then the next night, you take three ounces of &n, a half glass of water, mix them and he drinks it down, and he becomes drunk again. The third night you do the same tning with a good brandy, with the same result. The fourth night he sits down to write his scientific report. All observations having been concluded and the only common ingredient being wa ter, it is obvious that water makes one drunk." (Note: It must have tpn the water, according to an un identified member of the audi ence, because "who could get drunk on only three ounces of bourbon, gin, or brandy?") Dr. H. Guyford Stever of the Massachusetts Institute of Technoloy (MIT) tried to clear up confusion among committee members over the difference between scientists and engineers. Practical Test "Up at MIT," he said, "we have a practical test for engi neers and scientists young ones, anyway.

We tell these young fellows that the object of the game is to kiss the girl. "However, there are certain rules. At every second they are to go half of the remaining way to the girl. That is, going the first half across the room and then a quarter, and so on. "Scientists are always very bright and quick on their feet. The scientists gets his mathematics out and figures that going only half way each tiem he will never get there. "So he says, 'I will never get there.' "The engineer is a little slower. But he says, 'Never mind, I will get close enough'." (Note: Dr. Stever identified himself as an engineer.)

Celery gets stuffed with lovely rich well-seasoned mixtures. It goes into salads and meat and poultry stuffings. It gets car ried to school and to work. It gets cooked. No wonder Americans crunch away almost l'.-i bil lion pounds of this zesty veg etable in the course of a year. Stuffed Celery: One of our areas popular ways with celery stuffing is to combine two three - ounce) packages cream cheese and two table spoons dairy sour cream. Blend In three tablespoons finely chopped chives, one- eighth teaspoon salt and one- sixteenth teaspoon garlic pow der. Fill crisp celery stalks neatly with a knife or press cheese mixture through a cake decorators' tube. Serve chilled as an appetizer or salad accompaniment.
