Experiment in New York a

Helped Solve Delinquency, Hygiene Parley Told.

By Science Service

NEW YORK, Feb. 5—Putting the|

delinquency up to the children]

themselves to solve is the novel but

effective and democratic method}

urged by Arthur E. Fink, southeast ern regional supervisor for the ‘social protection section of the federal security agency, at the social hygiene conference held here vester-

‘day under the auspices of the New|.

York Tuberculosis and, Health association. ol ‘ That this method works is shown by an example Mr. Fink cited from a town whose best citizens met one night in the local school to discuss ways and means of curbing the growing delinquency. _ The group was about to vote on . a recommendation to the town “council for a 9 o'clock curfew for all under the age of 18 years. One man noticed a slogan the teacher had written on the blackboard for the pupils. It said:

Ring Own Curfew

“The essence of democracy is co-~ operation and representation, it is not genuine without it.” ' e man pointed to the slogan and said: “Have we asked the kids about this? They're part of this town, you ow.”

“For the next week, " Mr. Rink J

: conclided the story, “various phases the local delinquency problem were discussed in the social science classes in each school. At the week's end a student vote was taken, and now the town has a curfew, but it’s not on the statutes—the youngsters are observing -it themselves. “Let’s get the youngsters to work on’ this problem, too,” Mr. Fink ad urged. “It’s the democratic way, ~-and what are their big brothers fighting for, if not to preserve it?”

BRITAIN TO RESCUE JEWISH CHILDREN

Times Special

LONDON, Feb. 5—The lives of

decalcomania

+ HONOLULU, .- Fel 5 —When American fliers in ‘the south Pacific war zone shot down Jap planes, they used to take time out to paint small rising sun emblems on their own planes to indicate their score— one rising sun for each Jappo they popped. Painting proved too slow. | The yanks have been knocking so many Jap planes out of the skies that to streamline scorekeeping, decalcomanias (remember the “transfer pictures” of school days?) are now issued to every new plane bound fér the war zone:

A Kick in Every Lick

And out of that fact was born the “decalcomaniac.” who has just found out that he gets to lick a decal every time he: licks a Jap zero—and wants'to get going. The first of the decals are now on their way to the Solomons, and first army pilot to use them here was Capt. Gordon L. Kelley, of Lake Forest Ill, who stuck ten on the fuselage of his big Boeing flying

fortress. Uncle Sam puts up the: small red. -{ and white Jap. navy flag stickers in

a handy. packet, which contains instructions for applying them and explains that the supply. will be replenished upon request. The decals

can be put on a fuselage in about one minute flat. Because of the growing demand for them, the army air corps supply office here has put through a rush request for more. In addition to the decalcomania flags, the office has asked for decalcomania symbols of submarines, transports, .battleships) cruisers, destroyers and aircraft carriers. “A little later, we will need quite a supply with maps of Tokyo printed on: them,” figures Capt. Robert A. Duffy, of the supply office.
