IKE HANDY FAMILY BY LLOYD BIRMINGHAM SUZV, I JUST NOTICED THAT YOU'RE USINO A POU6LE ED6E RAZOR BLAPE TO CUT OUT YOUR PICTURES-I'LL V\AKE A SAFETY HO-PER FOE HOW MOM AAA PE A •RAZOR BLAPE HOLDER- From the Lincoln Times, Lin coln ton, N.C.: Why has crime been on the increase lately? A British authority on the med ical aspects of crime, Sir Sidney Smith, gave his answer to the question the other Cay when a re porter interviewed him in New York. Commenting on the state of crime in Britain, he replied: “We’ve had a very great increase of crime among juveniles, and it’s increasing every year—not just piddling things, but real crime. During the war there was a grave lack of control by parents and that, I think, led to this rise.” Sir Sidney went on to say that crime “is not an abnormality,” but “a form of human conduct.” “Have you ever wanted to pinch something?” he asked. “No, but suppose you had no parental con trol or teaching. You’d have gone ahead and pinched it—most nat ural thing in the world. It’s only because you were trained that you don’t pinch things. Actually the cure starts before crime begins. Crime is simply the normal devel opment of unchecked primitive instincts.” We have a tendency—“we” be ing a host of community leaders throughout the country—to make juvenile delinquency a profound and complicated subject requiring profound and complicated solu tions. But this British authority on crime speaks of the cause of juve nile delinquency in simple lan guage and suggests a solution that may be difficult but is certainly not complicated. “Crime is simply the normal de velopment of unchecked primitive instincts.” The key $o reducing crime is control of children by parents. And that is certainly a plausible view. It is a view that explains a great deal. But what it does not explain is who is going to control parents who won’t con trol children—and how. Or, does Sir Sidney mean that things will be better in the future because the world isn’t engaged in war at the present? DRIVERS...

Harper CHRISTMAS A WORKMAN at a sugarhouse in South Louisiana once asked a young fellow workman which comes first, Christmas or New- Year? The young man, with thoughts of the approaching Yule- tide in mind and without “second thought” said that Christmas would come first. The smile of amusement on the face of the older man brought to the young man the fact that New Year comes a long time before Christ mas, and it had already come a long time since. STAR AND FISH . . . Jack Lemmon relaxed from acting in Aca pulco, Mexico, long enough to catch this 100-pound sailfish. After the fight the fish put up, Jack found acting more relaxing than fishing. JUST A THOUGHT: Christmas is a time of joy and happiness; a time of gath ering together with the fam ily, with friends and neighbors. But how much more we might appreciate the true meaning of this great holiday if we were but to find time to escape from the caroling, from the ex change of gifts, and the glitter ing decorations for a few mo ments of silent meditation and reflection. But notwithstanding the calen dar, Christmas really comes first. Could there be a New Year of blessing for mankind if Christmas did not come first? How could hope spring anew in the hearts of men but for the blessed fact that nearly 2000 years ago the herald angels sang of the coming of the new-born King? May the latest birthday of our. Lord be His indeed. May we re member whose birthday we cele brate and in our gratitude may we devote ourselves the more to him as the Prince of Peace, who comes to make his blessing known “far as the curse is found.” What Is Right 'Timetable' for Girl? THE WEEK’S LETTER: “My mother tells me I shouldn’t talk about boys until I’m 14; shouldn’t walk with boys until I’m 16 and shouldn’t go steady with a boy Un til I am 18. I am now 13—what should I do?” OUR ANSWER: The opinion of this corner is that the mother’s “timetable” is a general one. As teenagers often do, our letter- writer has taken a mother’s ex pression or opinion as a black-and- white statement. Certainly, a girl of 13 is not to be expected to never mention the word “boy”; a girl of 15 can’t re fuse to walk down the sidewalk with a lad who lives next door or up the street if they are both head ed in the same direction, say to the comer grocery store. And, is the mere fact that a girl has turned 18 ind s cation that she is ready to g^ eady?” We don’t think so. TW is like saying that every boy who reaches 18 should be able to swim. The odds are high that he can’t—if he has never before been near the water. Life is a “timetable,” in a sense. We must attain a certain age be fore we can drive an automobile, before we can vote and, most everywhere, before we may ob tain a marriage license. Yet, age alone is not enough. We~ must learn to drive before we may se cure a permit to operate an auto mobile. We should know some thing about our government and our rights as a citizen before we cast a ballot in the voting booth. We should be aware of the deep responsibilities and obligations that come with marriage. These are serious, important things— driving, voting, marrying; things for which we should prepare— not by sitting back and waiting until we reach a certain age, but rather by reading, studying, and by seeking the counsel of those interested in our health and wel fare. There are reasons, of course, why there is a minimum age re quirement for a driver’s permit or a marriage license. It is assumed, let us say, that a youngster of 16 is responsible enough to be trusted with an automobile, that a girl of 18 is mature enough to realize and appreciate the obligations and re sponsibilities of marriage and par enthood. This assumption, of course, is based on the belief they have learned something in 16 or 18 years. Sadly enough, this is not always true.
