Letter To The Editor

To whom it may concern: “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For that judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. And with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” —St. Matthew 7:1-2, 3-5. None of us should pass judgment on the younger generation untU we take a long hard look at ourselves. In a recent news clipping was this quote: “This generation is no more delinquent than any other, they just have more things to be delinquent with.” Also noted in a recording was the fact that kids don’t make or sell cars, cycles, gas, alcohol, dirty books, drugs, wild clothes, cigarettes, etc., and in most cases don’t or can’t buy them. Also the degree of delinquency shouldn’t be determined by the length of a boy’s hair. In short, long hair is nobody’s business but the child wearing it and his parents. Also, the kids can’t buy or provide the type of recreation that is desperately needed in Greencastle and Putnam County. Civic officials should be more concerned with fulltime recreation instead of ways of punishing the kids. Parents should be more concerned with their children when they ask to camp out, etc. They should know for sure that they are where they say they will be, and that they stay there and have proper supervision close by. There has been as high as 20 kids supposedly camping out at a friend’s house and ending up in gangs and roaming the streets and countryside, swimming in the quarry, etc., at early hours in the morning. Referring back to civil punishment, I firmly support a sentence and fine for anyone selling or buying alcohol for minors, and make it a discouragingly stiff one. Also some attention ought to be brought to the increasing amount of smoking among Jr. High and High School students. Parents should explain and take their children to a church which teaches how to be saved and a follower of Christ. Not to attend a church for a status symbol. Nine out of ten children don’t know what it means to be saved or how to go about it. False impression says Rep. Bray WASHINGTON UPI _ Angry congressmen charge that preliminary recommendations made by President Johnson’s antiriot commission are, in effect, an indictment of the National Guard. Members of a House armed services subcommittee were highly critical Tuesday of the Advisory Commission on Civil Disorder’s proposal that the Defense Department review the qualifications of National Guard officers. Rep. F. Edward Hebert, DLa., chairman of the subcommittee investigation the Guard’s ability to cope with riots, declared that the recommendation had been made precipitously and without evidence that such a review was desirable or neces-

sary.

Another subcommittee member, Rep. William Bray, R-Ind., asserted that certain elements of the press had conveyed to the public the false impression that the Guard was incompetent. He cited reports of testimony by’Lt Gen. John L. Throckmorton, who told the subcommittee Tuesday that the Guardsmen in the recent Detroit riot were “trigger happy, nervous soldiers,” and he ordered them to unload their guns. Bray and most of the other subcommittee members were angered by Throckmorton’s statements, contending that the general’s order left the Guardsmen defenseless in the face of sniper fire. Herbert’s condemnation of the commission’s recommendation was endorsed by all subcommittee members except Rep. LucienN. Nedzi, D-Mich., whose Detroit district was on the fringes of the riot area.

Churches should worry less about stepping on toes and more about saving souls. A child’s personality, respect for parents, adults, obedience, his vocabulary and all basis is taught between two and seven, or pre-school age, or dis-taught. From seven to 14, you leave it pretty much up to the teachers, and then at about 14, some realize they have a problem, but usualy it is too late to reform your child because you probably failed in the pre-school days, not realizing what this would mean someday. The thing to do is to admit you were wrong and work things out with this in mind. It might be a good idea for the city to support a highly trained school in child psychology for pre-school parents so they might pass on the proper basic training for these kids before they start out into the world of learning and meeting new friends. One thing for all young people to keep in mind is don’t follow the crowd, because right is right although the crowd says it’s wrong, and wrong is wrong although the crowd says it’s

right.

So I say to civic leaders, church leaders, and parents: have the children failed us, or have we failed the children? — B. W. No one wants to adopt boy ALBANY, N.Y. UPI — A Bronx probation officer told the constitutional convention Wednesday the frustrating story of his failure to find an adoption agency for a 12-year-old boy who needed help. The boy was Lutheran. The law said Catholic, Jewish and Protestant agenceis could not take him. His father was dead and his mother was deemed ineffectual. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald. After Democratic delegate John Carro told his tale on the convention floor, the body voted unanimously to liberalize the state historical mandate that adopted children be of the same religion as their foster parents. The convention made the child’s welfare the prime considera-

tion.

“When I was a probation officer in the Bronx in 1952, I tried unsuccessfully for a year to find an adoption agency for a 12-year-old Lutheran boy whose mother was ineffectual and whose father was dead,” Carro told the delegates. “His casfe was reported to me because he had been truant,” he said. “All he wanted to do was stay home and watch television instead of going to school.” “Because of the religious matching problem, I couldn’t get him into a Jewish institution, I couldn’t get him into a Catholic institution, and I couldn’t get him into a Protestant institution,” Carro said. “Before I could do anything for him, the mother had taken him out of the state,” he said. “That boy was Lee Harvey Oswald.” “The whole course of history might have been changed if this provision had been in effect then,” he said.

Federal troops repulse rebels LAGOS, Nigeria UPI — Federal Nigerian troops beat back a rebel attack on the capital of Lagos and opened a major offensive on a key eastern region industrial town, federal military reports said today. Military spokesmen said federal troops were shelling the secessionist town of Nkalagu, only 26 miles from the eastern region capital of Enugu. The spokesmen said the fall of Nkalagu would open a fullscale federal drive on Enugu. An estimated 60 rebels were reported killed or captured by federal forces Wednesday in a rebel attempt to attack the Nigerian capital of Lagos by sailing through a swampland of lagoons.

Dear Heloise: The best way to clean finger marks from white plaster walls (especially around the telephone) is to keep a bottle of liquid white shoe polish handy. When the spots appear, just use the sponge inside the bottle of polish to wipe the soil away. This is guaranteed to save you a few paint jobs! Patricia Harris a a a a a Well, well. It works. I did find that the polish was better If diluted with water, or if you put the polish on a damp sponge and rub away. Sure covers up these marks. Heloise a a a a a This is for mothers with curious toddlers who love opening kitchen cabinet doors. Try using metal shower curtain hooks linked together. They work fine where two doors meet, and can be opened and closed easily by an adult, but not by a toddler. Jean Corducci

In Memory

In memory of our dear husband and father, Zaring C. Duell, who passed away 5 years ago August 24, 1962. Just a line of sweet remembrance. Just a memory, fond and true. Just a token of Love’s devotion That my heart still longs for you, In my heart your memory lingers, always tender, fond and true, There’s not a day, dear I do not think of you. I think of you in silence dear. No one can see me weep, But silent tears are often shed When the world is asleep A happy home we once enjoyed How sweet the memory still, But death left a loneliness The world can never fili, God saw you getting weary. He did what He thought best, He put His arms around you And whispered, come and rest The golden gate stood open Just five years ago today. With goodbye left unspoken. You gently passed away. Sadly missed by wife, Nellie, children and grand-children.

Dear Heloise:

lophane tape is the easiest way to sort graduated beads. Try opening up a large magazine (or catalouge) that will lie flat when open. Then use the valley at the binding to sort and rearrange into graduated order. Sure beats using tape ’cause you don’t have to stick and unstick ’em. A Friend

You’re right, Friend, this is another good way. Thanks. Just so the beads don’t roll out the “valley” and you have to start all over again!
