It's poison, poison! Do not eat! — J.
Cricket,” wrote our hero, quite sure the vil
lain's chance to win was dropping close to
zero. Vet, even if he'd gummed the game
of wicked old Stromboli — to kill their crew
with poison stew — he swore, by all that’s
holy, he’d catch that murderer alive to get
liis just deserts, and make him pay for evil
ways and pay until it hurts!
In desperation he would try — perhaps
without success -— to stir the patriotic
blood that even bugs possess. United brothers
they might stand and not be overpowered.
So. though, alas! you scratch a flea and
often find a coward, he played his trumpet
loud enough to bring them on the jump,
and knew that as he blew, perhaps he’d
played his final trump!
They came, those jumping savages from
just across the border, to listen to his liery
chat on justice, law and order. “My friends,”
he cried. “Four-listed lleas! My democratic
biters! You must not take this lying down;
the time has come for fighters. Stromboli
wants to kill you off; he's jealous of your
earnings. Hut underdogs must have their -
day, and even worms their turnings!”

HELL'S GRAVEYARD

was to set up a Juvenile Commission com
posed of physicians, psychiatrists, priests,
ministers, lawyers, businessmen, educators
and otiiers. No longer are Garfield's juvenile
offenders arrested and hurled behind bars;
they are led quietly before the Commission,
which does not concern itself merely with the
bare facts of the case, as would a docket
crowded police court. The Commission delves
into a boy’s history, environment, parentage,
habits, mentality, school record, favorite
activities, dislikes, ambitions. Commission
members visit his home, talk to his parents.
Playmates and schoolmates are interviewed.
A program is then mapped out for him, and
agents of the Commission strive to help the
boy follow this program.
No youthful offender, no matter what the
crime, is booked in Garfield today.
"That's putting a brand on them,” says
Gabriel. “That's calling them criminals be
fore they’ve had a chance. I’m convinced that
there’s no such thing as a bad boy. He isn’t
born bad. He may grow bad — but that’s
because somebody or something gave him
the urge to steal. Surveys show that the vast
majority of our criminals were maladjusted
when youths. They were booked and bullied
and branded. From the way the kids have
been treated in the past in Garfield — and
in most other cities, too — it’s a wonder we
haven't raised a nation of criminals.
"Today we don’t look to humiliate or
punish an offender — we aim to correct him.
You see, we are not so much interested in
what he did as we are in why he did it. If we
can locate that ‘why’ and eliminate it. we
achieve far more than years in a reformatory
(Continued on page 12)
The fleas forgot the hours they spent in
slaving under orders, forgot their foolish dis
contents, their quarrels and disorders. Like
men, they answered to the call, and fell into
formation, and marched about with roar and
shout, one big and happy nation. But volun
teers, though full of cheers, don’t always win
the prizes. And war's a curse, Stromboli
worse — and both can spring surprises!

® A Balanced Breakfast*
that’s Mighty Good to Taste
J | There’s a cool, delightful zing to the breakfast pictured
here —a blend of flavors "made to order” for a lazy "
^ morning-appetite. The subtle nut-like taste of toasted
whole wheat strands, the delicate raspberry tang, all drenched
with milk and sweetened as you like.
Refreshing to the palate, and behind it all you get a nicely
balanced breakfast. *In the two biscuits with a cupful or more
of milk and the berries are eight of the vital food values every
body needs —three Vitamins (A, B, and C), Iron, Calcium,
Phosphorus, Carbohydrates and Proteins.
Lady, set this magic low-cost morning meal before that fam
ily of yours, and watch them go for it. It’s hard to find such
balanced nourishment that tastes so downright good. Be sure
to get these tender biscuits from the National Biscuit ovens, in
the famous Niagara Falls package.
