CHARLES G. DOAK From Mrs. J. Henry Highsmith, chairman of the Youth Conserva tion committee of the North Caro lina Federation of Women’s clubs, has come an appeal addressed to this writer in behalf of the work she is directing. Mrs. Highsmith says: “Will you please help me through your Sunday column to get an im portant message to the clubwomen of the state and to all who read your column? It is an important message because it concerns the vough of the state. It calls for ac tion on the part of every alert citi zen to head off delinquency now rather than wait and have to deal with it later. Courts, refoi mstories and prisons are not the answer to the problem. President Truman nas requested that serious considera tion be given the problem of pre venting and controlling juvenile de linquency, so great a national prob lem has it become. Ccncernng this he has said: " ’We are agreed. I know, tha: the time for discussion has passed and the time for action nas come. The Federal Government has im portant responsibilities in this field, however, there is no roots of the whatsoever that the roots of the problem lie in the homes, the schools, and the churches of our nation. If results are to be achiev ed, it must be through the citizen and community, with state and lo cal officials also having a vital stake in the operation.' ’ NATIONAL CONFERENCES Continuing Mrs. Highsmith says: “Out of the Natonal Conference called to meet in Washington in November by Attorney General Tom C. Clark, came this signifi cant statement: ’No community should wait until its children have become delinquent before mobili zing its resources to lead them into rich and purposeful living. If every communty in America would se riously take stock of its resources and strengthen and unite them for dealing with all its children, it would save many from taking the first step into delinquent behavior. Delayed community action which results in having to deal with ehil dren after they have gotten into trouble is more costly, more diffi cult and often too late.’ “From the foregoing,'’ Mrs. Highsmith writes, “this fact stands out: That the community is respon sible for its juvenile delinquency and that its citizens must take the initiative in securing for all its children those services that will safeguard them physically, mental ly and socially. Fortunately for North Carolina, a survey ot youth serving community resources was mode last year under the direction of the Youth Conservation Commit tee of the State Federation of Women’s clubs. The survey em braced 125 cities, twons and com munities and 45 counties. Many re vealing facts were found. It is timely that they again be called to the attention of the public. “One was that only 26 of the 45 counties surveyed reported school attendance laws were enforced. In 10 counties school gymnasiums and auditoriums are still not available for community use after scnool hours. A surprise finding was that in 11 of the 45 counties churches were not considered to be vital fac tors in helping to meet the needs of young people, and that few pro vided social activities. Relative's few* of the counties reported hav ing vocational and personal coun selling for young people or arts and crafts departments in the hign schools. PHYSICAL EDUCATION “Only 27 of the 45 counties re ported physical education taught by trained teachers, and there was revealed a great need for physical examinations of high school stu dents which is not being me*. While about half of the counties reported dental examinations in the schools, these are known to be primarily for elementary school children rather than for high school chil dren where the need is also great. Relatively few of the counties re ported school nurses and free health clinics. “Out of the 45 counties, only 36 rejorted public library facilities. Of all the school libraries 24 hac, trained librarians, and only three school libraries kept open in the summer. Although much emphasis has been giver, recently to the im portanct of community councils, less than one third of the counties reported having such councils, and although it is against the law, 28 counties reported that children are still placed in jail in their com munities. Only two counties report td that they had up-to-oate deten tion quarters for delinquent chil dren. “In listing the most outstanding youth needs of the community, rec reation facilities. particularly trained personnel and more effec tive adult leadership, was given first place. Other needs emphasiz ed were vocational training and counselling expanded health facil ities, including health education and health examination for boys and girls leaving school; adequate provisions for enforcing the com pulsory school attendance law; and adequate facilities for dealing with juvenile delinquents. “These findings have been inter preted by social experts as show ing up the many needed services for children and youth throughout the State, and as pointing the way for definite community action. “Clubwomen in particular are urged to follow through on the find ings of their questionnaire, and to see that one gain is made this year. On thing accomplished for youth this year will make it easy for many to be accomplished next year.” The Greensboro Woman’s club had Mrs. Karl Bishopric and the writer for luncheon guests last Wednesday. Mrs. Bishopric told the club members about the progress being made in providing a scholar ship for Miss Mercedes Evangelis ta. executive secretary of the Phil ippine Federation of Women’s clubs. w7ho was a recent visitor to the state and w:ho has enrolled in the University of California for a six months course. A porton of the scholarship expense has been pledged or underwritten by inter ested clubwomen. Clubs wismng to contribute may send their con tributions to the Federation tress uier. Mrs. T.
