It's already being employed with amazing success in Hawaii. Now plans are underway to promote its use in the U.S. The idea of having social work ers accompany police on cases involving juveniles stems from a series of articles written in 1955 by Mrs. Muriel Lawrence, "Ma ture Parent" columnist for NEA Service. Based on the belief that problem children are the products of unhappy homes. Mrs. Lawrence proposed the establishment of com munity public service agencies that would specialize in dealing with family problems. The agen cies skilled social workers would provide a round-the-clock counsel ling service for both parents and children who called them for help. the idea fascinated Gerald B. Burtnett, community services di rector of the Honolulu Advertiser. who took a plan for local adap tation to the police chief, juvenile court judge and the director of public welfare. They approved and agreed to try it for six months. iwo social workers were as signed to the Honolulu Police De partment on a 24-hour basis. Po- lice were instructed to call them in on every case in which young sters were involved. The project proved to be such a success that it has been per manently adopted. Two more peo ple have been added to the staff of Operation Help." Social workers have helped straighten out juvenile trouble makers, tunaways and youngsters involved in petty crimes. Other promems tney nave tackled in clude child abandonment and phy sical mistreatment cases. They also have had considerable success in rolving parents' marital problems which were adversely affecting tne cnuclren. Plans to promote "Operation Help in this country started tak ing shape after U.S. Children's Bureau director Mrs. Katherinc Oettingcr returned from a recent trip to Hawaii where she got a first hand look at the 'system's operation. The Children's Bureau is a di vision of the Department of Health. Education and Welfare and has the job of advising state and local agencies on their child welfare and delinquency problems. Mrs. Oettingcr asserted; "'Op eration Help' is a creative idea I hat has been soundly conceived. It s doing a great deal of im mediate good. And it's being eval uated step by step so it may give us a pilot demonstration of a new way to handle juvenile delinquen cy on a long term basis." In addition to her praise for the program itself. Mrs. Oettingcr said I was also impressed with the spirit of the people who are work ing on it. They are doing a good j(,b from day to day and are also concerned with how they can do a better one. She explains that this year her staff members will suggest "Oper ation Help as one of the ways lo cal welfare groups can combat delinquency and help them find ways to adapt it to their communi ties if they are interested in doing so.

Colors, fabrics and details were invariably different but the . sil houette shaped up the same: Bust, waist and hiplines the way 'Boy Friend' Play Closes LONDON (AP) - London last night lost one of its oldest theatri cal friends, "The Boy Friend." a gay and nostalgic musical about the long gone M20s. Its history is a real rags-to-rieh- es story, earning millions of dol lars, giving employment to hun dreds, even changing the lives of several people. "The Boy Friend" began hum bly in a little club theater beneath a railway viaduct in April. 1953. "I wrote it for a three weeks' production," said author Sandy Wilson. "Instead, it has run for over five years and completely changed my life." Patrick Freeman, manager of a neighborhood theater saw it. He liked its gentle fun-making at the antics of a lot of people who are now grandmothers and grandfa thers. It featured the Charleston. The music was in the "vo-de-oh-do" style. The costumes of the girls called for dresses above the knees. It was flapperish. coonskin coatish and Stutz Bearcatish. Freeman talked his bosses into giving it a six-week trial. At the end of its first week in the bigger neighborhood theater its audience appeal was so excit ing that it moved into the heart of London's theaterland. On the evening of Jan. 14. 1954, it opened at Wyndham's Theater. It made money and it made au thor Wilson. Announcement of the London ending made it impossible to get tickets. Now it is going on the road. On Broadway, it gave Julie An drews her first big role a step to tne lame sne tound in My Fair Lady." It has been produced in Mexico. South Atnca, Kenya, Australia, New Zealand and Sweden. More than a million and a quar ter people have seen it here. Police Chief War About Evidence SALT LAKK CITY. I'tah iAPI Chief of Police W.

The two designers showing their clothes today during the winduo of the spring collections both were women: Gres and Madeleine de Rauch. Both are exponents of wearabil ity and thus not the sort to buck the trend. The consensus was that even if the collections have not made headlines they are going to make American women happy. Their keynote is variety. So if you do not have a 20 inch waist line suited for one of the tightly belted numbers there are tunics. middy-styled and easy fitting en sembles for the choosing. One of the buyers who viewed the Christian Dior show said the collection would certainly sell in America just because of this. "How can it miss?" she asked, "After all there are middy over- houses as well as tightly fitted bodices and hip length jackets as well as waist length ones. Macy s fashion coordinator Marjori Reich said the Dior col lection may turn out to be one of the most commercially successfu ever to hit the United States. American buyers will pick up Dior or Patou or Chanel originals for $1,000 and up. With the sale price often goes a royalty on each reproduction sold. Very shortly, those who can af ford to will be able to buy the same dress on Fifth Avenue for $500 and up. And by summer the highly- competitive American garment trade being what it is the new line will be on the racks in the big American mass-volume stores at $39.95. START AT TOP EFFINGHAM, 111.
