which the parking meters would be | installed could be compiled proposed ordinance, now in hands of Donald Morris, Safety Board member, is modeled after those used in Anderson and Muncie, | Ind. Chief Morrissey explained that it| was necessary for a person trained | in traffic engineering to draw up the | schedule of streets since the number | of alley entrances into the street, fire plugs and loading zones had to| be figured to determine how many | parking meters could be installed in| a block. The Safety Board's plan is to ob-| tain passage of an ‘ordinance by the | City Council to provide for installation of meters in a specified area.
Court Test Planned
Then & law suit testing the constitutionality of the meter ordinance | would be carried to the Indiana Su- | preme Court, before any more would | be installed. Such action was advised | by ‘Corporation Counsel Edward H. | Knight. The three members of the Safety | Board and ‘Chief /Morrissey are unanimously in favor of the parking meters as A means of ‘easing the traffic parking problem here. Passage of the parking meter “test case” ordinance seems likely since ne members of the City Council have voiced objections and City Council President Joseph Wood said he would be inclined to listen favorably to the “men who are inter-| ested in safety and parking problems.”

Job Makes Weddle Happy;
Keeps Youth From Grime
Tt is too bad that William S Gilbert ‘of London never met Sergt. Charles E. Weddle of the Indianapolis Police Department had, Mr. 'Giibert wouldn't have written that “A Policeman's Lot Ts
Not ‘a Happy One.” And the world's | |'blecoats might have been spared an unfortunate reputation.
The fact 1y Sergt. Weddle his work. He has been liking it for 25 “ears and ‘especially since March 19238. At that time the Crime Prevention Bureau, now the Juvenile Aid Department, was established, with Sergt, Weddle at the head. Since then he has been doing
la work which he feels is as important as anything in the whole |
range '0f police activity, Sergt. Weddle feels that the new designation ‘of Juvenile Aid is more fitting. For he and his aids spend a large part of their time in consultation, trying to adjust difficul-
| ties before they attain criminal pro-
portions. Aids are handpicked There are ‘only six persons ‘employed ‘exclusively ‘in the ‘department, but they are handpicked and must specifications. “Tf there was a single person in department,” he says, “who would not get ‘out of bed and come down here at any time of night to give a ‘case two ‘or three ‘or how many yours it needed — well, I
wouldn't want them, Nor would 1

measure to Sergt, Weddle's
allow anvone to stay who was short or impatient with the persons whe ‘came here for help. “We have people coming in here who never have bee in a station before, who don't know what 4a policeman is ‘or what he ‘does. We have to give them our time and patience." Sergt. Weddle ‘explains that his departhient’s ‘chief job 1s to work with parents to keep children ‘out of the Juvenile Detention Home, ‘out of Juvenile Court and ‘out ‘of trouble. And, of courte, there is also a job ‘of policing to ‘do, in which the Juvenile Aid Department finds the general force at its ‘disposal. Cites Financial Side Juvenile crime, Sergt. Weddle discloses, is a ‘sizable financial item. | During the five months ending July |81, Indianapolis police recovered more than $18,000 worth of property in ‘crimes involving Juveniles. Th the same period, the Juvenile Aid Department cleared 31 felony {cases from its BOOKS. | Of all the cases in the department during that period, ‘only about 30 per cent were sent to the Juvenile Detention Home, the ‘others being [turned ‘over to their parents. | Though he avoids generalities in his ‘discussion ‘of juvenile ‘delin[quency, Sergt. Weddle ‘concludes that its principal contributing factors may be grouped as follows: pack ‘of parental supervision, which includes failure to train the child in ‘obedience, truthfulness and la respect for ‘the Yersonal ‘and property rights of others: parental bickering in the presence of ‘children: injudicious cohice ‘of film and radio programs, and economic conditions. Lave Blame to Parents Like many ‘other social and wel fare workers, he believes that the principal fault in juvenile crime lies with the parents, “A parent often finds that a oNild of 18 or 14 1s growing away from him,” Sergt. Weddle says, ‘and then he tries to start the ‘discipline that he should have begun in baby vears. We have to try to patch up a condition that hes been years in the making. “I'm not a Psychologist or a Psychiatrist,” he ‘contiues. “I'm just one of the hired hands, and what I know I know from ‘experience But I've learned that anyone mm social work must be a human being | first. “I've Never seen a ‘case come Mm here by which I thought I could judge another case. Bach time we must put ‘ourselves in the ‘child's position. Sometimes I've sat here and Wished for the wisdom of a Solomon. “TI have ‘concluded that parent (hood is about the most important and TYesponsible position Mm the world. And crime prevention is just as important as accident prevention or an annual health checkup for an individual.”
