LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

the answer? Mrs. M. c. H. Of
Houston, Texas, thinks she does.
Says she: 'I've often wondered
why such cases couldn't be
tried and, If proven guilty, SEN
fenced to attend Church and
Sunday School for six months
or year, leaving the choice Of
the church to the boy himself.
"In this way they'd be
brought under the influence Of
young people who are trying to
do right. So often youthful
lawlessneSs is due to being with
the wrong crowd. Under such
circumstances the delinquent
boy or girl comes to believe that
goodness is a dreary, old fogey
affair and only saps try to be
good.
zone girl, who was sent last
year to the Young Peoples
Camp Of Christian Endeavor,
said that it was a revelation to
her to find SO many lively, mod
ern young people we're inter-
ested in trying to live a fine
life.
II am sure that our minis
terS, priests and rabbis would
be glad to cooperate with the
judges, and would appoint some
responsible person in the con-
gregation to help each boy or
girl. Surely this would be bet
ter than sentencing them to
the society of hardened crimi-
nails"
Sounds like a step in the right
direction, doesn't it? One
judge is actually trying that
plan. Recently in Hudson,
Ohio, a 14-year-old boy, Probeno
Marcella, sent two extortion
notes to Mrs. Charles Lind
bergh, demanding $25, 900. Judge
Oscar Hunsicker didn't think
it would help anyone much to
turn Probeno Marcella into a
bigger and better criminal by
sending him to the pen. So
he paroled him into the custody
of the Rev. Father William j.
Fitzgerald, pastor of the Catho-
lie church, and sentenced"
him to NOV the church lawn,
wash the pastors car and go
to church and school regularly.
That's fine, too. But what's
going to happen to all the
young Probenos when they
aren't busy washing cars or
going to Sunday school?
Make them stay home? But,
all too frequently, homes are
as demoralizing as any gang.
ster's hide-out. And a child's
own parents may be as danger
Gus as the most hardened Grim
inal because of their stupidity,
cruelty, carelessneSs or doting
affection. Then what's the
next best scheme?
Personally, I'd vote for cat
tie ranches, with all the Wild
West trimmings, and honest
gawd two-fiSted cowboys riding
herd on the outfit. Seems to
me we'd save a lot more, in
dollars and heartbreak, if we'd
let bad boys chase beef on the
hoof instead of feeding it to
them in prison stew.
But maybe you've a better
idea than that. If so, let's have
it! America could certainly
use it. For if somebody doesn't
find a solution soon we'll have
something worse to handle than
busted banks or bankrupt rail-
roads.
