Mr. Crews is attorney for For syth County, a former member of the North Carolina General As sembly and a former judge of Forsyth County Juvenile Court. On.3 of the greatest problems facing North Carolina today, the speaker declared, is that of teen agers in prison. The present pris on population of 11,600, he said, includes a large percentage of 17-and 18-year-olds. Two-thirds of the total have served time previously. He described as- the most shocking thing he had seen tlie treatment and sentencing of youthful offenders as adults. Mr. Crews cited the fact that in 92 of the state’s counties, the Clerk of Superior Court—politi cally elected person with many other duties and not necessarily trained in working with juve niles—presides over the Juvenile Court, in which persons up to 16 years of age are tried. He discussed the recommenda tion of himself and others that detention homes for groups of four or five counties be estab lished, also that jurisdiction be extended to 18 years. North Car- lina is one of only fiv^ states that have 16 as the age instead of older, he pointed out. North Carolina has made great progress in many ways—high ways, labor reforms, and others— now it is time to turn attention to the young, where the greatest responsibility lies, he declared. A question and answer period followed. “How can a club such as this help?” was asked. The answer: by keeping in contact with its representatives and sen ators and keeping them conscious of the need.
