Slice off the end of the trunk diagonally at least one inch above the original cut end. Stand the tree in a container of water and keep the water level above the cut surface so long as the tree Is In the house. If the tree is not to be set up for several days, It should be kept standing in water in a cool place. TREATMENT ADVISED • The department says: “If started In time, this treat ment not only will prevent the needles from drying out and be coming flamable, but it also will keep them fresh and green.” So they won’t catch fire.

Has No Problem This Is the last In a series on juvenile delinquency. The follow ing dispatch reports that Terre Haute, Ind., despite an old rep utation for being “steeped in sin,”’ has -no serious juvenile delin quency problem. By KEITH L. MARTIN United Frees Staff Correspondent TERRE HAUTE, Ind.—oß—This Midwestern city of 70,000 is not alarmed about juvenile delinquency. Its youths occasionally run astray, but their elders—recalling their own teen-age capers in the “roaring 20’s“—consider the situation under control. Juvenile Court Judge I#nhardt E. Bauer, father of three children, be lieves the city is “blessed” in not having the teen-age gang wars, nar cotics, prostitution, or property de struction reported by other cities. The exßent of juvenile delin quency here—according to la.w en forcement, school and probation of ficials—is occasional immorality, beer parties, pilfering, and reckless driving. Last year Terre Haute had 242 recorded juvenile erimes as fol lows: 41 burglary, 14 auto theft, 42 miscellaneous theft, 2 robbery. 32 sex offenses, 21 runaway, 17 tru ancy, 24 ungovernable, 11 mischief, 2 traffic, and 36 delinquent behav ior. The record shows no juvenile offenses involving drinking or nar cotics. Terre Haute, chiefly an indus trial town lying in the heart of a soft coal mining area along Indi ana’s western border, has had for many years a reputation for being “rough and tough.” But those con cerned with Juvenile problems say Terre Haute’s reputation isn’t as black as it often has been painted. They epplain that the attitudes of its people are different. “People are looser. They’re not as strait-laced as they are in neigh boring Clay County, for instance,” said Deputy Prosecutor John K. Fesler, who handles Vigo County Juvenile cases. “It’s always been a wet town.” Fesler receives about one com plaint each month involving illegit imate children bom of teen-age mothers. The father usually is an adult, he said. Sex activities among teen-agers, other than the custom ary “necking,” almost always in volve adults contributing to a min or’s delinquency, Fesler said. Not long ago, authorities were concerned at a rape-and-robbery epidemic on a “lovers’ lane” in parked, autos. They established that Juveniles were ont involved in the attacks and that most of the vic tims were adults. Nevertheless, prin- BLUE CROSS HOSPITAL INSURANCE I g Blue - X - Cram Mrs. H. l EldrMft DUNN, N. C. cipals of all three high schools warned pupils to stay out of the lanes. Although Terre Hauve has two big distilleries and a brewery and marijuana grows “by the acre” aloag the Wabash River at the city’s edge, officials say neither drinking nor narcotics is a juven ile problem. Chief of Police Frank Riddle said he found little evidence of drinking at organized teen-age events. “Our traffic problem involving juveniles is more serious and criti cal than the juvenile crime prob lem,” Riddle said. Shoplifting is one of the few lo cal juvenile crimes with ary de gree of repitition. There ha: e been three cases in as many years, the latest involving four high school girls. Juvenile Probation Officer Farn han Anderson says about 9 out of 10 delinquents come from broken homes. “Children have to have the right I start,” he says. “It’s just like plant- Hatcher & Skinner Funeral Home ESTABLISHED IN I®l2 AMBULANCE SERVICE iPhone 2447 Dunn, N.
