82—DETROIT JEWISH NEWS A Vaccine Against Deli__quency: Jewish Center's Preventive Role By JACOB J. JAVITS Attorney-General of the State of New York The current emergency over juvenile delinquency and youth crime is producing black head- lines and futile anger. But let it be said to the credit of our youth that no matter how sensational the headlines, • delinquency in- volves only a tiny proportion of New Year Greetings MAJOR'S CAFE!

Only 3 percent of children and youth have been involved in what we call juvenile delinquency, but millions of our young people are un-delinquent juveniles. If par- ents and legislators and civic leaders spent as much time un- derstanding our children and finding healthy outlets for them, as many do in getting excited and alarmed and indulging in rash statements a n d proposing impractical solu- tions, more good would be done. Children want k. .to be recognized for their own worth. They want respect for their rights; they need pride i n achieVement a n d opportuni- Mr. Javits ties to care and share. Agencies that help children achieve these are creating a kind of "Salk vaccine" against delin- quency. Among the most success- ful institutions that project these feelings for our children are the Jewish Community Centers that now serve more than 250 corn- 1 Sincere Holiday Greetings j Holiday Greetings Progressive Industries OI • 8770 LINWOOD TY. 7-7550 Holiday Good Cheer JAMES D.

The Center's program of clubs, hobby groups, cultural projects, sports, social activities and op- portunities for sharing in com- munal life is a natural for young people. Activities and sound moral standards that make for good home life, for friendly family to- getherness produce solid young citizens at any age. All young- sters suffer growing pains but they can be withstood by well- established relationships between parents and children. The fact is that the surest preventative against delinquency is a happy, responsible life. It is an old tru- ism that the family that plays to- gether stays together: And I have found that the Jewish Commu- nity Center is a kind of extension of the home for it serves the en- tire family. When unhappy, angry children strike out blindly against society, the active role of good recrea- tional facilities and planned lei- sure-time activities can be most helpful. Individual parents are often hard put to deal with this problem, which is not limited to the underprivileged. But through participation in community ef- forts such as Jewish Community Centers and YM-YWHAs. As they can find help not only for ,themselves and . their children but also for other parents and children too. For the past decade the Jewish Community Center movement, under the leader- ship of the National Jewish Welfare Board, has been ex- panding at a record pace throughout the country. Mil- lions of dollars are being pour- ed into new buildings, enlarged services, better programs and improved facilities. Although juvenile delinquency has traditionally been less a prob- lem among Jews than among our non-Jewish neighbors, we cannot be smug about this. The old maxim about an ounce of pre- vention is still sound. Instead of getting mad and frustrated about the problem, let us concentrate our available resources on the tried and tested programs that have demonstrated their capacity to prevent delinquency while we deal with the law enforcement emergency which the failure to support prevention adequately has produced. We need to see that Jewish Community Center programs are made available to . every Jewish youngster and every Jewish family that wants them. We need even more to pro- Vide scholarships and other practical inducements to young people to enter Center work as a career. We need to strengthen Jew- ish family life to buttress the traditional Jewish bulwarks of education and learning that have so successfully resisted juvenile delinquency. The desire for expanded Cen- ter programs is everywhere man- ifest. If in the year 5716 we can give new impetus and support to our Jewish youth-serving agen- cies, to our Jewish schools, to our morale-building organiza- tions, we in the Jewish commu- nity will • have contributed im- measurably toward building a generation of better citizens and more understanding and self- re- specting Jews.
