My dear Teenagers: This month instead of answering your questions myself, I am turning this column over to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. You will know about our “FBI chief,” Mr. J. Edgar Hoover , and when he has something special to say to teenagers, I know all of you will listen. I have received ques tions from teenagers along the lines that Mr. Hoover will discuss and I think a man of his experience will make more of an im pression upon you than anything I can say. So give attention to Mr. Hoover:

Obscene reading matter is a favorite habit of the degenerate. If the authorities can run down the source and trace the ma terial, they may be able to rid the com munity of danger before it starts. "3. Know your date! Don't go out on 'blind dates' unless another couple is along and even then be cautious. If someone phones and says he’s a friend of Jack Jones, tell him you’d be glad to have Jack Jones introduce him. "4. Stay out of 'Lovers' Lanes.' It’s natural to want to be alone with your date, but experience shows that ‘Lovers’ Lanes’ are favorite haunts of sex criminals. "5. Don't wander away alone from the crowd at picnics and outings. Stay within calling distance. Sex criminals are easily attracted to any group of young people, and given an op portunity they can strike with frightening speed. " 6 . Don't ask for trouble— dress sensibly. Provocative clothing may attract the at tention of a potential sex criminal. "7. Be civil to strangers who ask direc tions, but never go part way with them. The ‘directions’ trick is a favorite among sex criminals. They count on the natural helpfulness of young people. " 8 . Be very careful about accepting work from a stranger. This is another insidious dodge. Always make sure that the person is a respectable businessman. "9. Don't go about the house half-dressed. This may seem harmless, but it’s an invitation to ‘Peeping Toms’—who may later become something more dangerous. "10. Never, never hitchhike! And never, never pick a hitchhiker up! *Used by permission of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover and TH IS WEEK magazine of 10-27-57, copyright by United Newspapers Magazine Corporation.

WARNING TO U.S. TEENAGERS
“I’ve spent 40 years, my whole career, dealing with the seamier side of life— robbery, kidnapping, gangsterism a n d murder. It is possible that the nation’s youngsters think of me, when they think of me at all, as a pretty stern sort of per son. “Perhaps that’s just as well, for I want to give the young people of America some friendly, fatherly advice, and I would like them to take it very seriously. “The advice has to do with the sex- crime headlines in the newspapers today. These headlines worry everyone with any decency—-they worry your parents and they worry you. And they certainly worry me. “So I’ve worked up a list of ten “Teen- Age Tips” that I feel will help young people to steer clear of danger. When you look them over you may say that some of them are only common sense. But remem ber that the common-sense rule is often the one we’re apt to forget. “You’ll also note that some of the ‘tips’ apply only to girls. But remember again, every boy has a sister or a girl friend who needs his protection and advice, so he should study the whole list too. “In any case, these are the ten rules that, in my judgment and experience, are the most important. “ 1. If any stranger— or even a slight ac quaintance — makes improper ad vances, tell your parents immediately. Young people are too often kind-hearted about such things—they dislike the idea of getting an offender into “trouble.” Just remember that if you don’t report him, he’ll probably get into worse trouble later on—to say nothing of the harm he may cause. "2. If you know of any pornographic pic tures or literature being passed around, notify your parents immedi ately.
