our town 10 stay here, or do YOU want 10
see them 10 off to some other place? Are
you, as business man, trying TO do any
thing for them? Don't you think II would
pay You 10 make an investment in home
for them and LET them feel that you care
for them? Don't We, as citizens Of Mem
phis, appreciate our young men rs much
MS other cities and towns? DO we make
any special effort 10 look after them TO see
that they are cared for? OF do we say:
"Iet them take care OF themselves"
Where does the young man get his moral
trimming except in the community In which
he lives? Then does II not behooye us TO
make very great sacrifice indeed IN their
behalf and Try 10 keep them In the right
paths and bring those back who have gone
