,,Khaki.WalckYM Girls
Topic at Juvenile
Delinquency Meet
' Juvenile delinquency problem! here proved the topic of -another
long discussion Wednesday evening when representatives
of church groups and Parent-Teachers met with the city recrea
tion committee and school officials in the city council rooms.
Nothing new in the way of a plan developed at the meeting,
but it closed with a decision to continue with added vigor the
various activities already under way designed to keep children
busy and prevent delinquency.
. At the same time, church, fraternal and other groups were
urged to sponsor wholesome social affairs which will attract
youngsters and keep uiem out-
of trouble. Parties, dances ana
other functions, well super
Vised, were suggested.
Principal topic of discussion
at the meeting was the "khaki
wakky" girl from 12 to 16 years
of age. These girls, it was
brought out, run after the sol
diers who are here on . week
ends, and apparently are turned
loose every Saturday night and
Sunday by their parents, re
gardless of their tender, age...
One participant in the discus
sion said he had observed doz
ens of these girls on the streets
at all hours of Saturday nights,
and on Sunday they go to the
bus stations to see the soldiers
off, clinging to the khaki-clad
service men. General opinion
was that the girls and their par
ents, rather than the : soldiers,
should be held responsible for
whatever unfortunate thing may
happen in this situation.
Parent Responsibility
' Juvenile Officers Dave Bridge
of the city and Harold Hend
rickson of the county told of ef
forts that are being made to
drive home to parents their re
sponsibility for their children.
There was considerable dis
cussion of the church's function
in the solution of the problem.
One teacher said that many
youngsters will not go to Sun
day school, even though It is
held In the neighborhood, and
again the parents were blamed.
This teacher told of youngsters
reporting that they didn't go to
Sunday school because .their
mothers had a "hangover" on.
Sunday morning and did not get
them off to their Sunday school
classes.
One suggestion was that par
ents be lectured in a series of
radio addresses and the juvenile
officers were urged to under
take such a project.
- Hendrickson was asked if
Klamath Falls could get any
ideas from Medford about the
juvenile delinquency problem.
Medford Help
' "On the contrary," said Hend
rickson, who has been on. a visit
to the nearby cantonment town,
"Medford is seeking ideas from
us. They are having a tough
time of it and I- don't think
there, is anything over there we
can Jearn." - t
Andrew Collier, chairman of
the city recreation - committee,
said the city will press its rec
reation - program and otherv ac
tivities, but added that he did
not believe the committee could
be expected to furnish enter
tainment 24 hours a day for
youngsters whose parents ought
to be taking care of them.
Bridge said that an ordinance
is being drafted to put more re
sponsibility on the operators of
public dances.
The juvenile officers agreed
that only a small per cent of
Klamath's youth is "on the
wrong side of the fence," but
said there must be constant-endeavor
to bring that small num
ber on the right side and - to
prevent others from going over.
Few Statistics
Superintendent Arnold Gra
lapp of the city, schools pointed
out that there is no .way.' of
knowing how much good may
have been done by the activi
ties here, inasmuch as statistics
show only those who have gone
bad. -.'..' ..."'.. -
It was generally agreed .'that
Klamath . Falls is doing .more
than the average community for
its youth, and also that the
symptoms, of youthful "wlld
ness" are to a large extent a
condition resulting from the un
settled wartimes.
'The most important thing of
all," said Dwight French of the
high school, "Is to win the war
as soon as possible and remove
those conditions."
ARMY MEDICINE
Over 35,000 medical officers
are now serving with the U. S.
army. Death-rate of personnel,
exclusive of battle casualties, is
the lowest iniermy history. Hos
pitals have doubled in number,
and hospital beds tripled, since
Pearl Harbor.
