Heaney s juvenile court in Winnipeg. Most of the girls before the court Are involved in morals charges Nice looking youngsters who somewhere along the line got off the track ran away from Home or just roamed around promiscuously late at night falling prey to bad companions. Boys Are a problem too but the boys appear on Char Ges of car theft shooting guns wilful damage pilfering from stores and cars or stealing bicycles. Some boys Are involved in morals charges but somehow the problems in the boys cases can be adjusted quicker and easier. Led on women probation officers Deal with the girls and where adults Are found to be Contri buting to juvenile delinquency information is Laid with the City police who press charges. But. The arrest and conviction of an adult who May be responsible in a measure for leading a girl astray does not solve the problem of the girl herself. It is. Conceded in court circles that some adults actually May be led on themselves by an promiscuous Girt. Who looks and acts older than her. Years. These Are the girls whose backgrounds must be checked thoroughly Tho often must be tested for any. Mental disorder and who in All cases must be Given medical examinations. That is usually the groundwork accomplished by juvenile court probation offi cers after such a girl comes to their attention.

Heaney of the juvenile court has permitted a re Porter to attend sessions of the court and report the proceed Ings in general terms. The judge gave the reporter every co operation and his one stipulation was that offenders be not identified either by name or by any other indication. This has been carefully observed by Veteran court reporter Bob Noble. This is the fourth of his reports. Not the one she attended previously to have her placed in a special class with other children who need to catch up. I have spoken to Susie and she is willing to do the probation officer said.
