in beauty and completeness

such finesse' from the carefully

POLICEMAN'S RECORD IS
REMARKABLE IN HISTORY
OF THIS LITTLE "BURG"
Sergeant James Johnson, night
man of Robbins Police depart
ment has an outstanding record
unparalelled on any of the de
partments or staffs of the vil
lage.
Here is a public servant, who
happened to visit this commun
ity while in the uniform of the
Chicago Police department. The
Chief of Police at that time was
Wm. Marsh, brother of present
Trustee Maflfch. Knowing of the
service and qualifications of
Johnson, he recommended him to
the then mayor, Hollis Reeves.
Johnson, knowing very little
of the village he proceeded to
learn the hard way—that is, he
in answering a call set out dog
gedly to find house numbers and
streets. He is personally respon
sible for many arrests of law
violators.

►ROVING REPORTER FINDS
QUESTION: What do you
think can be done to curb juve
nile delinquency?
Mrs. Eddie Lou Allen, 13628
Turner avenue — Housewife:
I think that juvenile delinquen
cy can be curbed by the older
people themselves. Give the chil
dren something to do. Help
make proper playgrounds and
proper amusement parks and
have games and skating for
these children. This should be
supervised by qualified supervis
ors.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hudson, 3237
West 135th street—Housewife:
We should have a park and
play games to keep the children
busy.
Lt. Onet Johnson, 13601 Turn
er avenue — Policeman:
I think the parents should be
closer to their children and give
them something to do.
Mrs. Thelma Adams, 13409
Springfield avenue — Housewife.
If we correct the delinquent
parent, the delinquent juvenile
problem will be almost solved.
Parents should try to know at
aii times where their children
are, what they are doing and
1 with whom they are associating,
( I believe this will help to curb
j the situation.
