My on a re ident of
the Juvenile Center. for nine
and a balf months. I aDd my
family <SOD included) bas a·
great deal of re peer for tbe
taff at t e Juvenile Center
ell as for the directors.
Tbe belp tbat the many
troubled young men of Ber­
rien County (no matter of
color or r ce) get from the
Juvenile Center is sometime
the best thing that these young
people ever experience in'
their lives. In the entire time
tbat I have b dna ociation
itb tbe Juvenile Center, I
have not itnes ed prejudice
from any of the taff. As far as
Bill Wal er and John lsrial,
these t 0 dedicated a d
caring men are tbe mo t un- .
prejudiced people I have ever
known. Bill Wal er and John
I rial as well a all of the
workers, should have total
bac in from e ch other and
not "petty" conflict from
within.
I Y OPI 10 , if
anyone is getting pecia at­
tention. perh ps it is because
they are "giving" pecial at­
tention to the rea on they arc
there in the first place. (the
re idents of the Juvenile Cen­

I would only hope that
" ALL" ill stop and think that
ith all of the conflict running
ild tbrough the taff, plea e

fect th tremendou wor that
ha been done nd how the

For ome of the taff, their
