II happened, once upon time,

PARENTS FAULT

The action of Chicago authorities in bringing to
trial mother for allowing her Is year old daughter to
on wild parties and drink liquor is pretty sensible
any way you look at it.
We talk ell we like about wild YOUTH 'jazz
mad young people, changing generation" and the
like but in the last analysis, the chief responsibility
for the activity of young people rests the shoulders
of the parents.
If boy or girl of Is is running around at improper
dances getting drunk and going to road-houses, the
chances about 100 to that both of the par
ents at fault somewhere. Whether taking father
mother into court and holding regular trial is the
way to sclve may be open question; but at least
It helps focus attention on the real source of the

from poetry, but the following stanzas sent to by
City Engineer knights so applicable to El Centro
and Ell Centrans that feel readers will ap
preclate them. The original poem hangs in the main
hall of a municipal building in the east.
If ycu want to live in the kind Of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike
You'll only find what you've left behind
Fer there's nothing that's really new
It's knock at yourself when you knock your town.
l. isn't the town, it's YOU.
Real towns not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and nobody shrks
You can raise a town from the dead.
And while you make your personal stake
Your neighbor make one too
Your town will be what you want to see
1t ISM your town, it's YOU.
