. pspfp^fp^^^pppfl^pwp Parents Seek Protection Jbr Their Children in Organiza- tion to fight Bad Con- ditions; PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION Prominent People from North Shore Towns Obtain Charter From the Stateâ€"Object Set Clearly forth. t As a result of the conditions in the north shore towns, as proved in several court cases last year, the people of Wil- mette, Winnetka, Kenllworth, Glencoe and Highland Park have formed a permanent organisation to fight vice in the several towns. This problem has proved TSThlr^TrWO^^ either individuals or local committees to handle and only through a regular organization can any good be accom- plished. The organization as incor- porated ia "The Juvenile Protective Association of the North Shore," and the officers are: Presidentâ€"Ralph R. Lounabury, Vice-Presidentâ€"Mrs. James A. Brit- ton. Secretaryâ€"Mrs. Morris L. Qreeley. Treasurerâ€"George J. Pope. Directorsâ€"Winnetka. Wm. W. Case, Mrs. Morris L. Qreeley, Mrs. Ira Couch Wood; Wllmette,^ Mrs. James A. Britton, George B.

Dean, Richard I* Sandwich, Mrs. Maud H. Shannon. The objects as stated in the charter are "To promote and conserve the welfare of children; to suppress and prevent all conditions detrimental to their mental, moral and physical well being; to take any action, authorised by law, against all persons In any way contributing to the dependency, truancy or delinquency of children; to co-operate with all child-helping agen- cies, and, In general, to encourage the study of child problems, and to create a wholesome public sentiment in favor of the establishment and maintenance of recreational and so- cial agencies for the benefit of chil- dren and young people." The conditions that now exist in our villages are far worse than the aver- age parent believes and they consti- tute a serious menace to our children. No censorship ^ver private morality is proposed, but the association does intend to: To enlist in an organized effort to protect the children from the'corrupt- ing influences of public vice. To enforce the laws rigorously against those who contribute to the delinquency of the young.
