Owners of the land, the Industrial Land Co., of Birmingham, city resident Frank Newell, and asso- ciates, and Mrs, Frank Newell, asked the city to rezone the land fromsingle family residence to ei- ther business or multiple dwelling. When this was refused, they chal- lenged the reasonableness of the zoning, via the courts. In arguing the soning unrea- sonable, attorneys for the owners have pointed out that some adja- cent land is stoned fer terraces. The triangle is bounded on the north by the Graefield Terraces, 244 units built in 1947.

Parents rearing their child through his first few years reach out for the help of school church and community with their special services. He stressed that the parent does not send the child out alone, but rather, goes with him as he enters these spheres of in- fluence. “For these who have failed,” he said, “the Juvenile Court seeks to help the child or te protect the community.” He emphasized the fact that it is the unusual case that reaches the news headlines, and contrary to public opinion, only 1 per cent of children gets into trouble and is referred to the court.
