Edgar Hoover Blasts Young Thugs and Teenage Criminals Young thugs and teenage crimi nals may be pressing their luck by increasing their violent esca pades while blaming society for their faults. It appears that the public is be ginning to gag on the steady so ciological diet of excusing the conduct of teenage hoodlums be cause "society has failed them.” Resort communities racked by senseless riots and citizens who cannot venture from their homes without being assaulted and beat en are getting fed up with pam pered and insolent youth gangs. Some courts in the troubled areas are taking a more realistic approach in handling those in volved in these outbreaks. New laws providing stiffer penalties are being enacted in a few places. We can only hope that authorities everywhere will follow this trend. Certainly, the mere desire of young miscreants to have “a blast” or “let off steam” is no excuse to ravage a community and to maim and terrorize its residents. That holiday riots and similar antics by carousing youths have evoked widespread concern is not surprising. It is surprising, how ever, that strong public reaction did not come sooner. For several years, the increasing volume of criminal acts by young people— spurred on by the lenient treat ment received — has presented a clear barometric reading of what we are now witnessing. For instance, from 1960 through 1964, the percentage of young age - group arrests for homicide, forcible rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, larceny and auto theft more than doubled the population increase percentage of the same group. Arrests of per sons under 18 for simple assault rose 79 peicent, drunkenness and related violations 52 percent, dis orderly conduct 18 percent and concealed weapons 17 percent during the same five years. In the light of this shameful picture, we cannot say that we were not forewarned. The immediate objective, of course, is to put a stop to these rumbles and mass vandalism. Meanwhile, the question puzzling most people is what caused the principles and morals of some of our youth to degenerate to near animal level. Recognizing the problem comes much easier than its solution. However, of all the factors involved, I am convinced one of the most damaging is the false teaching which tends to blame society for all the frustra tions, woes and inconveniences, real or imaginary, visited upon our young people. Teenagers, and their parents, have been subjected to a fool-' hardy theory which condones re bellious conduct against author ity, law and order, or any regu latory measures which restrict their whims, wishes, desires and activities. This astonishing be lief has spread into the school room, the living room, the court room, and now into the streets of our Nation in the form of wild, drunken brawls. No doubt, society has failed our youth, but not in the way many seem to think. Rather, the dere liction has been in the failure to teach them the meaning of dis- j cipline, restraint, self-respect and ■ respect for law and order and the rights of others. Consequently, j the lesson now is both painful and costly. —J. EDGAR HOOVER Director Federal Bureau Of Investigation Adrian Community Church News There will be a potluck con gregational dinner Sunday, Sept. 12, following the morning worship service.

Oregon Sept. 5, 1965 Dear Mr. Editor: My first letter to you. or any editor for that matter, is one I hope will convey plainly that which I would like to have you print. It concerns our son who re cently suffered severe injuries. You see, for a long time, peo ple have told us what a “fine boy” our Roger is. and recently have reiterated again and again their faith in him. If they are right (and biased though we may be, we think they are) then they can surely take much of the cre dit for it. We have all been taught how much more environment usually means in the life of an individual than does heredity. The people of the Nyssa community have giv en this environment to Rog. Into this community he was bom and in it he has been reared by its people. With smiles they watched his first steps and heard his first words; with concern the doctors ministered to him from that time forth. Under the roof of the local school he learned from some mo del teachers. In the church he has been nurtured into a deep faith in God and His Son. His neigh bors and friends have been the Nyssa folk who always gave him more than they received. His first employments as a lad were here in the community he so proudly calls “home” — and from the first, people were pa tient and helpful in their training. This same community of people was always banded together be hind Roger to help in any emer gency, to meet him with respect and friendship when he needed it and chastise him when his of fenses warranted. Many fine men and women have grown up here because of the people who make up this com munity. This is ENVIRONMENT AT ITS BEST — and if this boy or any other is a fine chap—the people of Nyssa can claim the vic tory. I, for one, am mighty glad our boys grew up with these people to guide them.

Not Automatically Safe Have you ever waited for what seemed to*r><- hours while a freight train slowly lumbered across the street ahead of you? Have you ever said to yourself, there ought to be a law? The city of Pleasantville passed an ordinance prohibiting opera tion of any train across its street crossings for periods longer than five minutes. Some time after passage of this ordinance, one of ihe Short Haul Railroad company's train* blocked a Pleasantville street for almost 15 minute*. The city brought a legal action against ihe railroad company under its new ordinance. “Five minutes is an unreason ably short time,” said a represen tative of the railroad company. "Such an ordinance disrupts in terstate commerce, and as such is unconstitutional.” The trial court found the time limit was reasonable. It decided that the ordinance was valid and that no unreasonable burden was placed on interstate commerce. The Short Haul Railroad com pany appealed. Can a city pass an ordinance limiting the time a train can block it* city streets? Yes, said the Supreme court of Wisconsin in a recent case. The use of railway crossings is a pro per subject for reasonable regu lation under the police power of the city, and public interest re quires such regulation. A statute or ordinance will be held constitutional unless the con trary is shown beyond reasonable doubt. In this case no facts were presented to the court which SUNDAY DINNER GUESTS would indicate that the city ordi- Mrs. Duane Fuller and girls nance was unreasonable or in- and Duane Wilson of Boise were valid.

They’re not auto-, matically safe. It’s how you han- : die pesticides that makes their ‘ use safe or unsafe." Capizzi rec- I ommends certain rules in order I to assure the maximum amount , of safety in handling and using pesticides. Take time when you buy a pes ticide in the store. Don’t hurry. Make sure you’re getting the right product for the right job. Store the pesticide at home where children can’t reach it. Check the label for special storage instructions, if any. Don’t store the pesticide near food cr where ' it can become mixed with other j household supplies. Keep the chemical in its original container j and closed tightly. Follow Safety Precaution* Don’t depend upon your mem- i ory when using the pesticide. ' Read the label again every time just before you use any pesticide. Follow all safety precautions list ed. Don’t reuse an empty pesticide container. Rinse glass or metal j containers with water inside and out and pressurized containers on the outside. Wrap the containers in newspaper and put in a tightly closed garbage can. Don’t burn a cardboard box or sack used for pesticides. They go i in the trash can, too.
