Dear Dan:

As you know, the Christmas season is one of the times of the year
that lends itself to the increase in crime and delinquency in our
city. There are many statistics, as you also know, to support
this claim. According to the City of Atlanta Police Department,
368 juvenile offenses were committed in December 1968,

The Children and Youth Services Council is charged with the re-
sponsibility of preventing these acts before they become statis-
tics. To that end, we are proposing a series of public service
announcements to be carried by the mass media centering around
several important DO'S and DON'TS at Christmas. We are includ-
ing a brief outline as to how this can be done ond what materials
could possibly be used.



To augment the thoughts we have, and to receive the benefits of
your thinking on the project, we are calling a meeting of several |
key agencies affected by this problem.

At this meeting we hope to ''firm up'' plans so as to make maximum
use of any TV and Radio time we can get.

The meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 8, 1969 at 3:30 p.m.,
City Hall, Committee Room # 4.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Sincerely, e
Bins f We a
Lh iAgarrt fee Sete
