Frederick County Fares Better in Juvenile Delinquency Rates
Frederick County shows fewer delinquents per capita than most areas, based on U S Children’s Bureau data. In 1952 juvenile court referrals rose 10 percent from 1951, yet only 30 of 200 referred youths were taken to court, with five deemed feeble minded. Community agencies including the YMCA, Boy and Girl Scouts, and the Salvation Army credited for keeping the county’s youth out of court. A separate fire incident reports a washing machine motor fire at the William Bowers residence in Yellow Springs, extinguished by county engine chemicals.
