efvd nights are times of the great
est activity! we were raga a to
tive 11:00 P. M. shift. My first
h@urs of duty were met with of~jeer M. Jarret to district 6, This
wufignmeent was forutnate for
me because/I had the advantage
of officer Jarrett~s extensive exqevrience. Qifficer Jarret was exte#mely generous in. sharing this
egperience (by giving me) many
vaiuable tips and helping -me
vAsenever and whereaver he could.

One problem brought to our
attention. was that of juvenile
delinquency. Although the police
are doing everything possible to
combat the preblem, juvenile delinquency is steadily increasing in
Flint as well as throughout the
nation as a whole. To effectively
combat this growing problem, the

parents, school and - church officials is needed. An_- extensive
recreation and educational program is needed to guide the overexuberance of some youngsters
into. creative and
channels. - Every reader of the
Bronze Reporter is especially
urged to help combat this problem.

During the course of school
each of us was instructed in the
use of firearms and allowed to
fire at the target range. One
particular class dear to the heart
of all of us

was our. various
speech classes. ~This class was
devised by Inspector Samson. in

order to strengthen the ability of

each one of uS to compose speeches and deliver them with~ assur
ance. At the end of the course
examinations were taken. The
school allowed each of,..us new

officers to become very well acgquainted with one another. Inspector.5amson proposed that we
hold an annual reunion. to exchange experiences ~and ideas.
This proposal. was heartily accepted.

The end-.of the school period
-was looked upon with some. gsadness by all of us because Inspector Samson was so kind and patient with us. Our City Manager
also attended the closing phase
of the ~school by expressing his
confidence in each of us. A panel discussion to answer any questions we may have was held as the
last feature of the program. Each
of us was then given his néw assignment.

During the last fiscal year, over

5,000,000 volunteer hours were
spent in Red Cross collection, of
blood for defense and _ civilian
use.

We may have the jack to lift
you to your feet. If you have
found a stumbling block about
your CU be sure it is notin your
head.
