The organization woupid alp. its 37th annual convention with a resolution that blamed the use of narcotics as the "contributing factor in the increase of crime among youth". The 1,500 delegates found the juvenile delingtiency in- crease hitting hardest 111 the 10- 17 year age group, the very group the service organizatioi tries to help. In one of two resolutions con cerning juvenile delinquency, the Optimists noted that "at the present rate of increase in ju venile crime, by 1960 there wil be nearly 1,500,000 boys and girls getting into trouble wits the law each year." The first resolution urged member clubs to "redouble their efforts during the next five years to prevent delinquency from reaching the estimated figures, and to offer their ser vices to juvenile courts and other youth agencies in this ju- venile delinquency prevention program." But the group saved its strongest blast for the "unprin- cipled and degraded agents -of major criminal organizations" who make drug addicts out of teen-agers. Recalling that last year's an- nual convention had demanded stronger penalties for narcot- ics' sale, the Optimists re affirmed their view that the "crime of selling narcotics to youth equals in magnitude the cringes of murder and kidnap ping" In a two-pronged resolution, the group told its member clubs to urge that all state, Federal and provincial governments pass laws: 1. Making the first conviction of illegal sale of narcotics to an adult punishable by a' mini- mum fine of $5,000 and five years in prison, "with no time off for good behavior or par- ole," and 2. Making the "first convic- tion of illegal sale of narcotics to a person legally known as a minor; or the second conviction of an illegal sale sale to an adult, punishable by death." Named vice-presidents were R. A. Harp, of Philadelphia; Richard F. Nazette, Cedar Rap- ids, Iowa; Charles T. Boyle, Dallas, Tex., and Dr. Francis J. Nash, Kansas City, Kan. Directors elected were Dr. Ralph B. Bell, Washington; Harold Copeland, Boulder City, Colo.; John T. Whatley, Atlan- ta, Ga., and Neil V. German, Calgary.
