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?

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.
