County Juvenile Office
Sees Grief Brought About
By Consequences of War
By LOIS STEWART
Through the offices -of the
Klamath county juvenile de
partment filters a great deal of
grief, much of it. brought on
by the times, the war years
when emotions run high ana
parental discipline : relaxes to
tne point, in some iw
mnt criminal neelect. ..
The office maintains a repair
shop of sorts. Repawns morals
and manners is no sroeu jyu

help. A little more help at home,
in the officer's opinion, would
prevent many of the necessary
Interviews and penalties which
the court finds necessary to im
pose. But the most important phase
of work which faces Hendrick
son and his deputy, Faye Lucas,
is the rehabilitation of the child
brought to their attention by the
school, the city or state police,
or the individual.
Place Wards
. Another job is placng juve
nile wards of the court in foster
homes. This is by order of juye
. nile court presided over by Cir
cuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg. At the present time 36
children are in foster homes
where they are well cared for
and given' advantages which
they woefully lacked in their
own homes.
The juvenile office maintains
a point of detention for run-j
away boys and girls, abandoned
or deserted children, and chil-j
tvn hointf rransTvirtprl from one I
part of the country to the other.
The child waiting for a hearing
in juvenile court is also in cus
tody. They may be held either
at the county Infirmary, at the
Juvenile cottage, at me rviamaui
county health center, the county
jail if need be, or in local hotels.

More Boys Involved
There were 730 cases handled
by the juvenile office in 1944:
boys, 465; girls, 265.
Cases held over and re-opened
also went into the several
hundreds. There were 490 po
lice reports received in 1944;
boys, 341; girls, 149.
Various Offenses
The types of cases vary from
horse thefts to sex delinquency,
tampering with, the U. S. mail,
neglected arid dependent chil
dren, and of course curfew vio
lations. More girls than boys were In
the neglected and dependent
children column, and more girls
were - involved in questionable
conduct and sex delinquency
than boys, Hendrickson stated.
There were 48 girls inx-olved in
the latter charge, as 'compared
to four boys.
Hendrickson explained "the
above paragraph in this manner:
The sex delinquent girl is gen
erally involved by a' boy 18
years old or over, and. not by a

juvenile office. When a child
walks in the door, he or she is
given every possible "break."
Because of such "breaks,"
scores of letters have been re

one of the busiest offices in tlie j
county ana one wnere more
grief is heard than any other.
Letters frequently come from
girls who were once in custody
of the juvenile office. They arc
now either happily married or
holding down responsible jobs.
The policy of the court and
Juvenile ol((ce is to prevent the
re-occurrence of delinquent acts
and to remedy the existing situ
ation which brought the child
to the " attention - of the office

No Ward

this Sprin
'The big circular youU receive in the next day or two
i i
will not announce WARD WEEK, which usually comes at
this time of the year. It will announce, however, a selection of
timely merchandise at Wards traditional low prices. Many of tho
items have been cut in price, too, in full accordance with the
War Production Board's regulations on such matters. But, because thee
regulations won't permit us to cut all the prices, and because merchandise
shortages prevent us from bringing you all the things you usually expect m '
WARD WEEK, we do not feel justified in calling this a Ward Week circular.
Obviously, we all expect shortages these days.
America's factories are busy filling vital war orders, and
merchandise for civilian use cannot be plentiful. But, in spite of merchandise
shortages, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the circular. Pick
it up at your door. Take it in and study it carefully. You'll find that Wards,
as always, bring you th e best possible quality, at our famous economy prices.
