JUVENILE DELINQUENCY 65 security facilities, such as camps, there is now m preparation and conteniphition, I am informed, m the county of Santa Barbara, per- haps either acting alone or in cooperation with tlie county of Ven- tura, phms for the development of a facility for o;irls similar to these boys' camps that are nov»' operated and owned b}- the probation de- partment. The exact form that this facility will take I doirt think is yet completely determined, but I think that it will be quite similar to our camps. You may recall that at one time there was in the county of Los Angeles a number of years ago a camp for girls, but there were con- siderable dilliculties encountered in the handling of the girls in the mininnun security setting, and in the operation of that camp. We are going to observe with very great interest the development of these plans in the county of Santa Barbara and in the county of Ventura. Chairman Kefauver. Mr. Breitenbach, you tell them that Mrs. Krug can go and get the story from you. Mr. Breitenbach. There are, of course, many cities—and I am sure IjOS Angeles has part-time day camps for girls and boys too. Chairman Kefauver. I assume that there is a smaller percentage of girls in the group that needs some camp facility, but I think they ought to be provided for. too. ]\Ir. Breitexbacii. "\^^ell, I quite agree. The ratio between the num- ber of girls and the number of boys in the youth authority will run approximately 87 percent boys and about 13 percent girls. That will give you some idea of the relative amount of difficulties which the girls and boys encounter in the group living together. Chairman 'Kefaumsr. You might want to talk with ]\Irs. Krug some- time about her program. Mr. Breitenbach. I will be very happy to do so, j'es, indeed. Chairman Kefauver. Thank you. Mr. Breitenbach. Thank you, Senator.
