In an obscure corner on the back page of last Thursday's edition of the Democrat iDxemher 15l appeared this item: "In Wheeling. W.

, caution and discretion in placing 1 biHiks on their racks for public ‘ consumption as they would in se- ’ lectlng books and magazalnes for use by their own children.” I Just wonder how many parents even bother to investigate the read- ; Ing material available to their sons and daughters. Let’s see Decatur make an effort to stop trouble before It becomes a widely spread scandal. Teenagers are easily led and some must be getting wrong Ideas about right and wrong from someplace. If such ideas do not come from the homes -then we must search elsewhere.
