POLICE ACTION WELCOMED
“Good show—this is the sort of thing we have been hoping for,” said Captain H. Darrell, chairman of the regional youth committee of the National Council of Churches, who is working in conjunction with Pastor T. W. Whiting. He had been asked to comment on the statement by the Controller General of Police (Mr S. T. Barnett) that police would use Christchurch as an experimental centre for a team of police working solely in a preventive
field associated with juvenile crime.
Captain Darrell said his committee had given Pastor Whiting permission to approach the Government while he was in Wellington to see what form of assistance it would be prepared to give the youth club now operating in Christchurch. “We are bursting at the seams. We have walked the streets whilethe police have been concentrating on youths in the Square and we have got many new members. We now have 60 and we need more room,” he said.
