Baxter of Port Hope when be addressed Rotary Club aI Friday's luncheon. In summing up a haîf bour's absorb- ing talk on "Juvenile Delinquen- cy" he said that crimes among childrcn arose frorn two causes, heredity and environment, and of these the latter is the greater , and quoted from governrnent blue books tb sustain the -thesis. Ross Strike introduced Mr. Bax- ter as an able barrisler, who, af- ter 10 years' successful practice in Port Hope, had been appointed recentiy as one of lhree magis- trates in this district. Ross re- called thal oid-timne Magistrales used to bave long, severe whisk- ers, but limes bad cbanged and tbe youbhful, urbane guest of the day did flot possess a severity of iien but, said Ross, "he jailed one of my clients the other day and now he would speak on ju- venule problems from his long background as Secrelary of the Cbildren's Aid Society." The speaker suggested Ihat juvenile delinquency was a fer- tile field for service clubs 10 in- terest tbernselves in social reform, and went on 10 describe cases Ibat had corne before him where juveniies - bose under 16 -had been charged bolh under the Cri- minai Code and the Stalules. He bold how facial expressions under queslioning differed among chil- dren fromn that of aduits. The most common of their crimes is Iheft and in al100 rnany cases it was due la neglect of parents, in other words, environmenl. And now Ihat parents are aI work in war plants there bas been a sharp increase in crime among cbiidren. He described individual cases ranging in age frorn 1l 10 15 and Iheir çase-hardened attitudes ai those eariy ages. He bold of boys of 15 earning 35c per bour in fac- tories wbo quit and defied police areturned 10 the ways of the Aersgressor, and il was bercir . wre service clubs couid take hold a:d work wonders. Sending boy reformatories and training schools migbl be severeiy correc- tive but associations in state es- tablishments oflen led 10 deeper crimes. He told of one gang o: seven, some of whom started out aI il years of age and over a period of monlbs had committec 42 crimes. Now Ibret of theno were in Kingston Penitenliary and others in reformatories.. The wisest of magistrales can- not soive the problem; all they cao do is conform 10 the iaw, tempering - il wilb bumanity. "There are no Big Blother move- ments in oullying dstricts," sait Mr. Baxter, "so there 'is where service clubs migbt belp. They could form committees 10 super- vise and iend a heiping hand and search out sorneone locally wbo wouid be responsibie for the mis- directed juvenile, and Ibat was particulariy imperative in war- time. Fifty dollars invesled to- day in that way rigbî save thousands laler on," was lbe opinion of Mr. Baxler as he con- ciuded bis eloquent appeal. Ross StulI moved the vote of lhanks.

Martyn Gives Facts to Prove Case Busy Life of Police, L o n g Hours and Miiltifarious Du- ties Revealed by Reporter in Check Up of Cou.ncillor 's Statement The news of Councillor W. J. (Casey) Martyn's attack on the local police for laxity of duty voiced in Council Monday, was relayed within tbe hour ta the Chief in persan by someone pre- sent at Council and the point must be made that, as usual in Bow- manvilie, not one single taxpayeri was present at the council meet- ing. Tberefore il may be assum- ed that resentment of the attack came ta the chief from some member who disagreed with the complainant. Because of the fact that nol only was the Chief under censure but the Night Constable as weii, The Stalesman sougbt the facîs for the benef il of those who pay the bis; thal is the general tax- payer, who, so far, have fel thal the law bas been pretty weli up- held in Ibis town. They have known the night constable Walter Hall as a capable officer for 25 years or more. Tbey bave known Chief Venton wbo bas direcled police affairs bere since 1928 and, in case of complaints registered in counicil, they wisb tbe facîs; so bere are a few of lbem gieaned by Tbe Statesman's reporter. Firsl, in tbe malter of long ser- vice, there bas been no dernand for removal of the police of Ibis town. Their services must bave been generaliy satisfactory or there would have been no "long service." Here are a few of the duties împosed on the officers now employed by taxpayers: Tbey are required 10 patrol the streels nigbt and day; ta see Ibal ail by-laws are enforced; 10 see that streels are dlean; that back yards are dlean; that children crossing streets are safeguarded; that parking by-laws are enforc- ed; that restaurants conform ta the iaw; that hoodiums refrain froma dislurbing tbe peace, and that, generally the people wbo pay their salaries gel security and "sleep o' nigbts." Further, as part of tbe do- ordinated efforts ta law enforce- ment, the local police are requir- ed 10 assisl at ahl imes and in- slantly, on demand, nighl or day, the Provincial Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Came Enforcement officiaIs who are called upon 10 maintain order in the communily. And iately, nigbt or day, tbey are subjecl 1a cali ta help out the Prison Offi- cials aI tbe German prison camp. Wben prisoners corne in tbey must be on duty. Wben tbey are THE RED CROSS QUOTA ARRIVED .The Red Cross Quota for the summer lias arrived. Since it is larger than usual more workers than ever are needed. Those wvho can, are reîiuested tb corne 10 the Red Cross Rooms on Temperance Street Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Those who are flot free on these afternoons are requested 10 take work withi them to their homes. transferred they must be on band, and wben they escape tbey must gel out of bed and join in tbei hunt. But that is not ail; the Chief is required t0a, Ic as Clerk of the Court at ail triais, wbetber laid by Provincial, Mounted, Game Guardians, or their own cases. An instance cornes readily ta mind Ihat, recentiy, the Chief had 10 devote the best part of a day as clerk in court when eleven men were cbarged for violation of fishing laws. The charges were laid by Headquarters men. Thel local Game Guardian, wbo hlm- self is a law enforcement officer, is, also the seif-same councillor wbo attacked the police. The dlaim is made that as a policeman himself, who had taied to up- hoid the law in these fisbiiug violations, shouid be the lasI man ta point the finger of scorn aI officers who bave for so long en- joyed the public confidence. Complaint was made in Coun- ci, that police turned their backs ot speedsters and truckers pass- ilg îbrougb town; that charges should have been made, against lruckers especially, and the pro- ceeds of the fines should go ta defray upkeep of the police dept., and operalion of the Cbief's car. In regard tb that, there was a specific instance quoted of a truck parked opposite the laneways of the Post Office and the Bank of Montreal; that the police did notbing; that Ibis instance was a general proposition. Well here are some facîs: The Chief charged that particular trucker and he paid fine and 1cosîs. He bas cbarged, likewise, dozens of others, but with ail due regard ta people of the district. The charges and fines have been against outsiders mostly, and sa far as revenue is concerned, The Statesman's court reporter has examined the records and finds (Continued on page 6) O.A.C. Chemistry Experts Be gin Soil Survey in Durham County Tht Dominion and Provincial, govcrnments are co-operating onj a soul survey of Durhàm Countyi wbich is now being conducted. Tht resulîs of Ibis work wiil be of direct benefil 10 tht individuai farmer. Similar surveys bave been con- ducted in variaus parts of tht province for several years. Dur- ing the summers of 1937 and 1939 a survey compieted soil maps of Northumberland Counîy and a soubhern section o! Durham Coun- ty. Under tht direction of thte Deparbmcnl of Chernistry of tht Ontario Agriculturai C a 1l e g e. Guelph, the work in Ibis county is being carried on by L. R. Web- ber, B.S.A., of tht O.A.C. DepI. of Chemistry, and C. A. Nichol, an O.A.C. undergradunte. Soil Inventory A soul survey rnay be looked upon as an inventory of tht dit- ferent souls faund within tht county. Each soul type is tht e- sui o! many influences no ont of which is entirely responsibie for ils formation. Tht source o! tht soul materiai, vegetation, drain- age, topography and lîmate ahi combine in varying degrees te produce tht present condition o! tht soul. Ont o! tht main differences ini soil types is Ibeir texture. This cao usualiy be determined by an examination o! Ihe surface soul. Near Bowrnanviile are different areas o! dlay ioam, ioanr and san- dy loam. Pidlure aiso salis that bave rnnny stones and boulders and other areas that are practical- ly stone free. In combination with encb texture are many de- grees o! drainage fmom very good 10 very poor. Tht consideratton of combinations of texture, drain- age and other factors resuits in the separation of tht types of souls. Another important feabure o! souls is a wide variation in tht supply o! plant nutrients, tht content o! which is debermined by chemicai analysis o! speci!ic soul tye.How They Work Tht men engaged in this work hope ta complete tht survey of Durham County Ibis season. Since there are nearly 400,000 acres in Durham County each farrn cannaI be visibed individuai- ly. At presenl Ihey are travelling by automobile along ail passible ronds and some whch experience would label "Impassible," Dur- ing tht course of Ibeir work tbey make frequent examinations of tht soul and record sucb informa- tion as is neccssary 10 fuliy de- scribe tht type. Freshly-made rond-culs are examined 10 deter- mine tht nature of tht subsoil. Wherc such observations are nol possible tht use of an auger or shovel in adjoîning fields may arouse tht curiosity of a casual observer. Whcn tht limits or boundaries of a uniforrn area have been determined these arc recorded on a map. Afler tht field work bas been1 completed and tht soul types es-ý tablishcd for tht county, a soul map in tht scale of 1" to tht mile 1 will be preparcd for Ed. Summers' office. By a systemn of colours and symbols each type can be dleariy distinguislied. At a later date il is hoptd Ihal tht map wiii be litbographed and Mnade availabie for generai distribu- tion. Tht soul map shows tht lo- cation, distribution and acreage of tht vamious soul types. For each type are given tht distinguisbing cbaracttristics, tht present land use, and tht probably ferlility re- quirements. Although the soil survey pro- vides an invetory of tht counby's soil resources this is not ils main use. Tht people familiar with tht map will use il ta ca-ordinale ex- perience and experiments regard- ing tht characteiistics of soils. Thus eacb farmer wouid be able ta appiy ta bis own farma tht resuits of soul tests, grain variety tests and fertilizer experiments. The analysis of sal sampies in- dicales tht present fertility leveis and immediate and possible de- ficiencies in essenlial plant food. What To Grow Much is being said about vani- ous programmes for conservation. Any plan for soil conservation must start wibh tht soilrnap. From il can be seen tht types o! soil that are sf01 adapted 10 fruit or general farming and aiso those areas where some forrn of soul conservation such as refores- talion should be adopbed. In some areas o! Durham Coun- ty erasion is bccoming a serious prablem. Tht continuai removal of fertile top soil by wind and water is wortby o! attention and immediate action. (Ta be conîinued) W.
