BY VERN
Vandals throughout the nation con-
tinue to be a roadblock against more
open-recreation facilities which could
be made available to those who want
to enjoy the great outdoors.
From Washington the American
Forestry Institute recently issued a
report on this subject covering a sur-
vey of 254 company-owned forest
areas.
In 60 of the areas they found signs
destroyed. In 58 trash and litter were
dumped at unauthorized places. There
were 44 thefts of company property;
36 improvement destructions; 31 for-
est fires started; 36 instances of kill-
ing and cutting trees; 30 gates de-
stroyed; and many other illegal acts.
This destruction was on private
property, where, through a coopera-
tive effort, the owners made the prop-
erty available and even furnished fa-
cilities for recreation users.
Estimated cost of this vandalism
was $486,0001
AFI's survey covered 65 million
acres of land where public facilities
were made available. Some at a slight
charge. On this acreage there were
1,832 campsites and 2,315 picnic
tables, all for use of the general pub-
lic. Yet the public persisted in its de-
struction.
Vandalism continues to be one of
the greatest flaws in our recreation
program. Vandals and litterbugs
cause needless waste of millions of
dollars in recreation money each year.
Our own Texas Highway Depart-
ment has litter barrels every few
miles along the state's highways.
These are emptied daily.
Still there are literally thousands
of pieces of tissue paper, beer bottles
and soda pop bottles, beer cans and
soda pop cans tossed along the high-
ways. These are the major items, but
there are others. Some drivers don't
even worry about seeing that their
discarded glass bottles do not fall on
the highway.
Others toss their bottles in lakes
and streams where people swim or
ski.
These "Scatterbugs" are the people
who make it harder on those who
want to enjoy the great outdoors.
They should be reported, so that they
may be taken into court and given
whatever punishment is prescribed
by law. Maximum fine is $200.
As a result of vandalism and litter-
ing, many of the companies owning
forests lands now arc charging fees
for their use. More will do so if the
littering and breaking continues. This
is to help take care of such needless
expenses.
Naturally whatever is eent for
repair and replacement as well as
"housekeeping" comes out of funds
appropriated for improvements. So it
behooves those of us who want more
parks, more boat launching ramps,
more lakes and more recreation to re-
port those who violate and vandalize.
Texas has experienced much van-
dalism. Even its new state parks and
sometimes the roadside parks along
the highways are badly damaged.
Highway department trucks are busy
every day picking up bottles and
papers that have been strewn along
otherwise beautiful roads by litter-
bugs. Just by littering we can de-
stroy the very outdoors we want to
enjoy- . « ,,
It's time to quit saying we don t
want to get involved and start lending
a hand to those who need help to en-
force our laws. The least we can do
is report the violators.

CRIME AND
DELINQUENCY GET
RESEARCH ATTENTION
The twin problems of crime
and delinquency are the sub-
ject of a great deal of attention
from many kinds of organiza-
tions of both public and private
character.
The National Institute of
Mental Health, for example,
has always had strong interest
in attacking these problems,
and is devoting several million
dollars each year to research
and demonstration projects
seeking new knowledge and use-
ful ways to combat crime and
delinquency.
These amounts, large though
they are. pale beside the enor-
mous economic costs of these
problems.
Recent figures show that the

annual cost of crime and de-
linquency exceeds $20 billion
—with more than $4 billion be-
ing consumed yearly by police. .
legal, and correctional activities.
This is to say nothing of the
psychological and social toll
they take all over the country.
The nature and size of these
problems indicate why we are,
in cooperation with other gov-
ernment and private agencies
and the Nation's colleges, uni-
versities, and other educational
and research agencies, devoting
so much effort to understanding
causes and finding solutions.
Through activities ranging
from basic studies of aggres-
sion to the development of com-
munity treatment programs, we
are working toward the con-
tainment and reduction of anti-
social behavior.
Demonstration projects show
that community treatment pro-
grams for adolescent delin-
quents are proving not only
more effective than institution-
alization merely jailing or
putting the juvenile into an in-
stitution but also more eco-
nomical.
But the roots to social prob-
lems such as delinquency and
crime often lie in early life, we
know ; and so scientists are con-
tinuing, with some real suc-
cesses, to pin down and define
factors in the child's early en-
vironment that so markedly in-
fluence his maturing and later
behavior.
Good early treatment has
demonstrated success in pre-
venting intellectual and emo-
tional problems and has led to
beginning development of effec-
tive programs in behalf of the
child's mental health.
Such programs, and still
newer ones, must now be tested
in a variety of settings and
more universally applied.
Only in such ways, through
painstaking research and care-
ful development of programs to
aid normal mental and emo-
tional growth, can we get at the
deep and troublesome causes of
crime and delinquency.

Let's face it.
All is not perfect in this land
of ours,
America has taken some
lumps and quite frankly it hurts.
But maybe \ e should step
back and take a long hard look
. . . take inventory of how we
are and how we got here.
Maybe we should inspect our
brighter side as well as some
of our ills.
And maybe, just maybe, we'll
come out thinking this country's
good side far overshadows
its bad.
Then maybe we'll start to do
something to make it better.
Rather than knocking it, which
ends up making it worse.
Now comes the big question.
What can you do? You're
only one little individual among
over 200 million people. How
can you help?
For one thing, you might
think about investing in your
country. Showing your faith in
its future.
That's exactly what you do
when you sign up to buy U. S.
Savings Bonds. You're simply
buying a share in America.
You're also socking away
some money for yourself.
Money that grows at a guaran-
teed rate, to pay you back $4
at maturity for every $3 you've
saved.
Of course, Savings Bonds are
not going to cure all our head-
aches. But they'll help to pro-
vide the economic strength we'll
need for the job.
And at the same time, they
can cure a lot of your financial
headaches in the years to come.
Any way you look at it, they
make good sense.
And that's just
what we need in
this country
right now.
