Your Tri-County
Health Dept.
By Robert R. King, Jr.
District Health Officer
Juvenile delinquency is a sub
ject often spoken of and as often
neglected. In the broadest sense
it may be considered as bad moral
health. Moral sickness leads to
crime and delinquency and is ex
pensive to the well being of the
human body. Just as the Ameri
can people are beginning to re
alize that mental sickness cannot
be reduced by starting with cases
already in the sanatarium but
must be approached from a stand
point of prevention, so the same
approach must be made to moral
sickness if we are dissatisfied
with the results—and who isn’t?
Crime will become preventable
only when we realize that society,
in the ultimate, is largely re
sponsible for its continuation in
that it has not yet seemed will
ing to go all out for prevention.
We know that if a child is pro
perly taught at an early age, the
chances are he will develope
good scholarship that will go with
him along through high school
and college.
Leaders in the field of juvenile
delinquency point out that this
is a problem springing from the
homelife of the child, his living
conditions, his mental and phy
sical development, the church he
attends, the food he eats, the
help of public and private wel
fare organization, and the type
of law enforcement and judicial
branches in a community.
When he was asked to state
his view’s as to correct methods
that may be adopted Dr. Rey
nolds, N. C. State Health Officer,
observed that: “An idle brain is
the devil’s workshop, therefore”
he went on, “the child should be
given chores to perform to tie
him in with homelife and to help
develope within him a sense of
responsibility for home, as the
basic institution upon what a well
organized society must rest.” Also
proper recreational facilities
should be provided for our boys
and girls, not only public but
family recreational facilities in
the home, and our boys and girls
should feel free to bring their
friends into their homes to share
Few Clean Fanns
Seldom Burned
"Give your farm a good Spring
cleaning!” is the advice of D. R.
Perkins, Yadkin county farm
agent for the State College Ex
tension Service, who this week
reminded Tar Hi el farmers that
a clean farm is the safest and
most profitable farm.
Recommending several ways in
which farmers con'd participate
in a campaign for cleaner, safer,
and more attractive farms. Pt r
kins suggested that attics, base
ments, barns and other buildings
be thoroughly checked for old
rags, boxes, paper, and furniture
that may present fire hazards.
Chimneys and flues might be
inspected, too, Perkins said, for
fficient operation next winter.
Dead vines, brush, and weeds
along fence rows and near farm !
buildings are also on his list of j
things to do, now that Spring is
here.
Buildings not already protect- 1
ed with fire extinguishers might ..
be supplied with them, he said. '
pointing out that Spring is a good
time to check extinguishers that '
are a part of the farm’s fire fight- :
ing apparatus.
“Chan farms seldom burn.” the .
agent said. "A clean farm is also ;
generally free from disease, is [
safer, has a healthier atmosphere,
and is a nicer place to live."

Mrs. Harold Osborne, who
was before her marriage Mrs.
Eva Welch Rash, of Smeth
port.
Rash-Osborne
Vows Are Spoken
Announcement has been made
here this week of the marriage
of Mrs. Eva Welch Rash, of
Smethport, to Harold Osborne, of
Forest Hill, Md., on March 4 at
Hartsville, Ga. The double ring
ceremony was performed in the
Methodist parsonage, there.
For her nuptials, the bride wore
a suit of aqua wool with black
accessories and a corsage of pink
rosebuds.
Mrs. Osborne is the eldest
daughtei’ of Mr. and Mrs. George
Welch, of Smethport, and is a
graduate of Lansing high school.
She has been employed for some
time in Baltimore, Md. and Win
ston-Salem.
Mr. Osborne, who is the son
of Mr. and Mis. Floyd Osborne,
of Forest Hill, Md., is a graduate
of Quarryville, Pa., high school.
He recently was discharged from
the army with the rank of ser
geant after serving twenty-five
months, nineteen of which were
spent overseas. He is at present
employed as foreman at the Aber
deen Proving Ground in Mary
land.
After a honeymoon trip in Flor
ida. they returned to Aberdeen
where they are now making their
home.
in the clean, wholesome amuse
ments provided there.
Noah Webster says, in his de
finition of delinquency: "As dis
tinguished from crime, delinquen
cy usually implies a psychologi
cal. rather than a judicial attitude
toward the offender.” Here, it
would seem, we have the v ry
heart of the matter. There must
be a psychological build-up. if
we are successful to combat what
e call juvenile delinqu. my. We
immunize our child against var
ious preventable physical dis
■ases. Are we protecting their
■ ouls—their minds, against vic
ious <>r questionable thinking that
may lead to crime ? Many a juv
enile delinquent h’s been im
munized against cv \ prevent
able disease, only to f ; d that his
spiritual life has been neglected
by the veiy parent who gave him
this physical protection. So. juv
nilc delinquency is a health mat
ter —a matter of moral health, as
a protection not only against
crime, but against physical dis
. ase. as well.
