I SHOWING YOUTH THAT CRIME DOE8N'T PAY If you should see a policeman in uniform neglecting his boat in order to help a bunch of boys stage an Informal baseball game on a vacant lot, you probably would wonder irritably Just what that copper thought the city was paying him for. On second thought, however, you might feel differently. For if a cop's c hief Job Is to prevent crimo, tho officer who teaches tho youngsters In his district to look up to him as a friend and counsellor Is doing a very efficient and praise-worthy Job of crime prevention. ! .1 lOdgar Hoover, chief G-man touched on this point the cither day.' In ft speech before rhocftnnrtft! rrmvention of the international Association of Chiefs of Police, at Baltimore. Suppose, said Mr. Hoover. tir^t a $100,000 hank robbery occ ^ jn a gi ven ^cl^v ^ youngster ki town ?-+H;-To-tt---eertitit? tfegroe, sHrred?by the excitement and the adventure of the affair In a great many caaea he will conclude that tho robber has done a bravo and romantic thing and is a( person to be emulated. In other words, he makes a hero of him. But if the police have moans of contact with the city's youth?thru police athletic associations, police play ofTlcers, police instructors and umpires for aaridlot athletic contests, i and so on?then the police have a line chance to make youth see the robber, not as a hero but as a sap. "You simply cannst combat In the, literal mind of youth tho fact that | someone got $100,000." said Mr. Hoo-, ver. "He can listen to platitudes forever, but the thought remains in his mind?a man robbed a bank and a man got $100,000. and certainly in this Instance c rime must have been made to paw And so our job as the im:(!ian= of youth Is to say why and love ?>,:? .il'.o : t 1 1 : :. ! - t :: 11 f . 1: |.t ' I |, lulls', be i. 1.. ii i n.;i tiiis i-1.1u iv111 be rp.it .'i : . - : must pay t\ r aid in.-; bis es"!! i an be convinced that every * c?nt of that money for whlch^ man |ha? dared hi* life and the penlteu ' tiary nuiHt either be expended for things which do him not one partl[ clp of good Or be paid out In a dea porate effort to defeat the law, leav lug him In the end penniless, u bro1 ken being, living In a itlthy, worm I eaten, rocking house of crime and ! robbed of everything worth-while p which a life of decency might have given him." I That, us Mr. Hoover says, 1h u Job well worth doing It la a Job the police can do easily enough, If they have the contacts with youth thut euable them to get their message across. Such contacts, obtained through a systematic campaign of friendship und understanding could be invatua ble lu the great work of crliuo-preventlou. The average criminal 'starts out as a Juvenile cop-hater. If that trend can he reversed, a grea?t step lu law j enforcement can be taken.?Sumter Dally IleuV BROCKMAN TO BE SPEAKER I* AT EDUCATION A88OCIATION Members of the Kershaw County Kdmat Ion Association will he Interested in the announcement of M.
