Only Two Juvenile Courts In Indiana Circuit Courts In State Are Crowded INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Indiana’s juvenile offenders are "Saturday’s children’’ when it comes to their place in the judicial sun. But plans for alleviating the situation do not appear to be jelling in time to get 1959 General Assembly attention. Indiana has only two juvenile courts, one each in Marion and Lake Counties. Probate judges in St. Joseph and Vanderburgh Counties also handle juvenile cases. Otherwise, all under-18 law offenders are crowded into the dockets of circuit judges. Miss Mildred French, executive direcotr of the Governor's Youth Council, said that circuit judges to whom she talked say they often must schedule Saturday hearings for children, and that the time they can give to these cases

CHAPTER 17 THE FIRST to arrive that eve--1 mng for the housewarming of Campbell Hall were the Watt Sacketts. •‘Helio, hello, hello!" Watt effusively greeted his host “Here we be, Colin.” “And very welcome you are.” Colin Campbell was busy from that moment on greeting his guests, introducing them to his sister-in-law Betsie and his father and offering drinks. The women declined his offers with thanks; the men accepted but sipped sparingly. Only Ralph Campbell, who stood beaming before the fireplace with a tali glass in his hand drank with gusto. . The last to arrive were the Stewarts, Ann radiant and lovely in a blue dress she had resurrected from her boarding school trunk. At the sight of her, Colin sharply drew tn his breath and his spirits spiraled upward. The women busily marveled at the house, the like of which they had never seen. Enos Pollard sat with his grandsons, staring about in a bewildered but happy way. Only Ann sat .alone, looking thoughtful. “How do you like it, Ann?” Colin asked. “Colin, it's lovely. And you’ve succeeded perfectly in restoring the atmosphere it once had. Father feels it, too. Look at him. He 4s wakening a bit from his •nightmare. And I’ve just been sitting here feeling twelve years old.” “I can’t tell you how happy that makes me,” he answered. Betsie joined them. “I don’t think you have met my brother's wife, Betsie. This is Ann Stewart.” Smiling and exchanging greetings, the two women appraised each other and liked what they saw. Then Betsie said, “Excuse me for interrupting you, Colin, but your father wants to see you a moment. He's In the study.” Entering the study, Colin was amazed to find Macklyn'a son Ralph standing solemnly beside his grandfather, who was sprawled dejectedly in an armchair. As fai as Colin had known, Ralph was in Richmond with his father. His presence here meant news from Macklyn—bad news, Colin thought. “Ralph,” he said, “what is It?” Ralph drew himself up stiffly as befitted a West Point man I and a future officer of the ConI federate Army, conscious of the importance of this moment. “The Yankees tried to reinforce Fort Sumter oh the 12th, against a warning from General Beauregard that he would fire if they did. His men fired. Fort Sumter has surrendered. Lincoln,” Ralph spat out the name, “has asked for volunteers to put down the TebeDlon.’ The delegates in Richmond have probc UM br Jim Kjelgaard.

is not adequate. Few Detention Facilties She noted also that except for Marion, Lake, St. Joseph, Allen, Vigo and Madison Counties, there are no separate juvenile detention facilities and the youngsters must be confined in county jails. A recommendation that the 1959 General Assembly establish regional juvenile courts with staffs and detention facilities for counties not large enough to require full-time courts already is in the hands of Governor Handley. The recommendation came from representatives of the Judges Association, the Prosecutors’ Association, the Citizens Advisory Comand Parole Association following a mittee and the Indiana Probation session called by the youth council. The group maintained that “all youth in the state are entitled to the same commitment procedures regardless of where they may live.” Proposed were two plans, one for a traveling court covering a specified group of counties and the other for a permanent court with juveniles to be brought to an established regional headquarters.

ably already voted for secession by now.” “It’s war—it’s come,” Colin said confusedly. "Father and I are leaving tn the next day or so for Montgomery to offer our services to the Confederate army." There was a lilt in Ralph's voice. The fool was actually elated, Colin realized bitterly. “Father will send for you as soon as he returns, to let you know what you may do.” "How can the South win a war against twice—” Colin began. The old man in the armchair had roused himself. “Colin,” he said with spirit, “I think it’s not as bad as you imagine. The South need not win in a military sense. Macklyn explained that to me. She need only defend herself with enough vigor to show the Yankees that it’s useless to try to conquer her. If 1 know the Southerner, it won’t take us long to prove that.” “I hope you’re right,” Colin answered. "Uncle Colin, may I have a fresh mount?” Ralph asked. "I have to get back to Quail Wings tonight and on to Richmond tomorrow.” "Won’t you have dinner and stay the night ? I have guests—” “There's no time for that,” Ralph interrupted impatiently. "Then, of course, I can give you a fresh mount I’U see to it now.” Somehow Colin got through the dinner, smiled and joked and did all that was required of a genial host He decided not to tell the people of Hobbs Creek the news until he had had time to think it over. He knew that what he said and how he said it would have a profound influence on them. After dinner, his guests happily occupied with each other, Colin sought solitude outdoors. By the light of the rising moon the mountains loomed dimly before him. The sight of them calmed him; it always did. He stared at the starry sky, trying to imagine war’s effect on Hobbs Creek. The mountain people could not avoid being swept into it, even if they wanted to resist. They would require sympathy and understanding in their senseless ordeal. Suddenly tn his mind’s eye Colin saw Ung Stewart in uniform, marching under the command of a spit-and-polish officer like young Ralph. Ung would no longer be an Individual but a mere unit, expected to perform like a perfect mechanism. Instant, unquestioning obedience would not only be expected but also demanded, and Ung was as Incapable of such performance as he was of climbing a rainbow. No amount of training or punishment was going to make Ung any more amenable, Colin knew. He would always be a rebel, a nted hr publisher, Dodd, Mead & Co..

May Be Resolution However, Sen. Dorothy Gardner, Fort Wayne Republican, said she does not now believe that "the idea of regional juvenile courts will be put into bill form for this next assembly. It might come up through a resolution to form a study commission of juvenile laws, though.” Mrs. Gardner is chairman of a joint Senate-House interim committee of the Penal Institutions Study Commission. She said that some members of this committee attended a meeting of probation and parole officers recently at which regional juvenile court plan was discussed. She said that the regional plan was discussed. She said that the regional plan was more a judicial matter than a penal one but said the idea may be brought up again for further consideration Oct. 17 at another meeting of her committee. But at present the plan appears likely to be deferred for longrange study of all juvenile laws which Mrs. Gardner said the interim committee expects to recommend.

trouble maker from the army’s point of View. And so would the other men on Hobbs Creek. Colin knew then what his own role was to be. He would be the buffer between these men and the army brass. The only way he could do that, he realized, was to be their commanding officer. He would see Macklyn about it as soon as he returned. Perhaps it could be managed. “Colin!” He turned to find Ann Stewart beside him. "What has happened, Colin?” she asked anxiously. "I saw your face during dinner. You did your best, but 1 could see that you were terribly upset by something.” He answered gravely, “Bad news, Ann. War has broken out between the North and the South.” “Oh, no!” Then she said dully, “You will go. Ung will go.” "I’m afraid every able-bodied man will be called on.” “Can men think of nothing but hunting and fighting? Is the life with which God endowed you so loathsome that you must forever seek to court death?” Her voice was anguished. Before he knew what he was doing, Aim was in his arms and he was saying, “Life could neves be loathsome to me, Ann, as long as you are in it somewhere. Juqt to know that you are there, to see you now and then—” He felt her heart beating wildly beneath his own. His lips eagerly sought hers; his lean hard body pressed tightly against her yielding one. For a moment, he knew only ecstasy and then he became aware that her hands were pushing him gently away. In the dim light he saw her up* turned face and her eyes looking steadily into his. “Colin,” she said softly, “I’ve wanted that as much as you did. I’ll say it now, for you to know forever: I love you. You are my first and only love." “Ann,” he moved toward her, "my darling!” “No, Colin, we mustn’t Please!" “Yes, you’re right," he mumbled helplessly. “Colin, listen to me, please." She took his hand. “I love my children. I love Ung, too, as a friend, a brother, a comrade. He has been good to me. I wouldn’t hurt him for an instant.” “Nor would I, Ann. This won’t , happen again." He added bitterly, "The war comes at an opportune moment" “Don’t!” Ann half-sobbed and then checked herself. “It is time to take the children home. I must ■ go in.” “Goodbye, my darling. Remember that I love you always." A wish of Colin’s Is going to be granted, as “The Land Is Bright* continues tomorrow. Inc, Dist bp King Featurss SyudlcaU,

Underpaid Teachers A College Problem Report To State By College Presidents INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - “Underpayment" of faculties at Indiana’s four state-supported colleges and universities is a major problem that must be corrected if the Hoosier schools are to ‘’keep in step” with the progress of neighboring states. That was the gist of a report submitted to the State Budget Committee by the presidents of Indiana University, Purdue University, Ball State Teachers College and Indiana State Teachers College. The report came as the schools requested a record 102 million dollar budget for the 1959-81 biennium. "Funds available in the current biennium for increases in faculty and staff salaries are not adequate to maintain the position of the colleges and universities with comparable institutions in other states,” the report said. Among fellow Big Ten universities reporting salary increase statistics for 1957-58, Indiana and Purdue ranked seventh in the percentage increase. Only one school averaged less. And the report said the same situation pertains to Ball State and Indiana State when compared with similar schools in neighboring—states. ; ' "This undesirable competitive position hWomade the Indiana college and university faculties vulnerable to “raiding” by other institutions during the biennium and has made it more difficult to secure competent faculty personnel for the future,” the report said. Indiana schools must compete with the nation's finest educational institutions and industry to retain its present staff and obtain new qualified people to fill vacancies. “It is no economy to hold down the present professor’s pay, then to be forced to set his replacement’s salary at a higher level

than the salary that would have been necessary to have kept the original faculty member," the report pointed out in requesting faculty increases of about seven per cent for each of the next two years. Another three per cent was asked "to promote and advance younger members” of the teaching staffs. The four schools emphasized that faculty turnover "has become a growing problem.” Many of the state’s best teachers are lured to private industry or to other schools because of better pay. And offers of better salaries “come to faculty members almost daily,” the report said. New Siding Can Work Wonders Few other home improvements can give such a lift to the family’s pride of possession, and at the same jime so substantially enhance the resale value of the property as new siding. At relatively small cost, the exterior of the house can be given a completely “new look" with any one of the many siding materials now available. Most common material for resurfacing is, of course, wood. Redwood, cedar, Douglas fir and white pine come in a variety of siding types, the most popular of which is bevel or lap siding, applied horizontally with the lower edge thicker than the upper. Drop Siding Drop siding which has a groove cut along one edge is also applied horizontally and lapped. Board and batten siding (wide boards with narrow battens covering the joints) is especially adapted to vertical applications. In sheltered areas, tongue-and-groove paneling is an excellent choice. Cedar shakes and shingles not only make an attractive exterior wall, but have an added advantage in their insulating value., The cedar shingle single-course exterior has proven popular where economy is an important factor. If a double-coursed wall is pre-

BOMBED, HUNT MYSTERIOUS 'UNDERGROUND' - Special bomb experts and city, state and federal agents staged an all-out hunt for a mysterious "confederate underground" believed responsible for a wave of dynamite terrorism against Jewish institutions in the south.

ferred, the more economical cedar shingle undercoursing is laid first. Directly over this are laid the grooved or striated cedar shakes. This results in a rich, deep shadow line that accents the home's horiziontal lines. Fireproof Siding Asbestos-cement siding shingles are very hard and fireproof; colors are impregnated into the material. Hardboard, made of heat and pressure-treated wood fibers, is available in wide panel horizontal lap siding and vertically scored siding. The latter is applied in large sheets. Aluminum siding comes in long lengths which are applied as horizontal lap siding. Insulating siding consists of fiber panels and shingles with facing of asphalt and mineral gramules and affords a thifty approach to re-surfacing.

Plywood siding comes in large panels and in a variety of patterns. Thin, light, masonry veneers are becoming increasingly popular for exterior resurfacing projects. Whatever the material chosen, re-surfacing adds value to a house, far beyond its cost. Rose Plants Need Four Feedings A Year Roses need special nourishment four times a year to achieve their maximum size and beauty. A dependable tested plant'food, preferably one which has been formulated especially for is recommended. The four feedjngs should be timed as closely os i>ossible to the following schedule:'i 1.
