IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
A BOYS BAND

Organization of a boys band in Imper-
ial Valley is an undertaking that should
be given support by various organiza-
tions of this community. as we'll as the
parents of boys.
From information given to The Press
by those sponsoring formation of the
band, it is to be conducted on strict lines,
with discipline being emphasized as much
as musical ability.
Each boy joining the band is to take
a pledge, not only to attend rehearsals
regularly and to practice daily, but to
keep himself fit, mentally, morally and
physically.
In other words, the band is designed
TO encourage youngsters to develop into
good citizens and to make good use of
their spare time instead of wasting it or
using it to get into trouble.
Such a band cannot help but be a good
Influence on the lives of the boys who
join it. 1t is an agency for developing
one of the finest characteristics in boy
hood-the desire to do things, too often
frustrated by the inability of parents to
understand the boys viewpoint.
Every boy worth the name, wants to
be, at some time or other, a soldier,
fireman, policeman, cowboy, and we
suppose nowadays an aviator. He wants
to be something that stands out Too
often adults choke this off by terming it
the desire to show off. 1t is nothing of
the sort 1t is the mind of a boy trying
to find itself. Who would want a boy
that aspired to be a garbage collector or
a sewer cleaner?
A band meaning the opportunity to
play musical instrument, wear a snap
py uniform and march in parades, ap-
peals to most boys. By encouraging this
appeal the avenue is opened to work out
other developers of character. If the
appeal is choked off by ridicule or
worse, there need be no surprise if the
boy gets into mischief.
Imperial Valley doesn't offer its boys
any too much in the way of turning their
energy to good account. A band, putting
them on an honor system, giving them
chance to meet other boys on common
ground, developing their musical ability
and encouraging them to be manly,
straightforward and diligent, is an asset
this community cannot afford to slight.
Nick Novak organizer of the band, is
2 man who understands both boys and
bands. resident of this city for more
than a dozen years, he knows the prob
lens that boys face here and is anxious
to help them solve them. He has the
background of the military drill and
band instruction furnished by the United
States army, in which he was formerly
band leader, a position one does not
reach unless he has the right stuff.
We would like to see parents and or
ganizations interested in boys give this
band proposition plenty of consideration
If they do we feel certain they will give
it the support it deserves.

Richie is reported as having addressed

his remarks against the capitalistic sys-

Communist party to sweep capitalism
away, it will be all right with me-

but we presume he only thinks he would
The chances are more likely he would
be the loudest to yell about his rights as
free-born American citizen and would
resent being ruled by a dictator or an
army of dictators.
1t certainly is fine thing for a men,
Der of the legislature in free state to
stand up in public and not only condone
Communism but encourage it. 1t GER

of Americans who have faith in their

than the government of Mussolini a

were built. The condition today is
very serious for the safety of these
towers. There is only few feet of
land between the towers and the
shore. In other words, $500 feet of
earth has been claimed by the sea, and
in order to save one tower that was

To the Editor of The Star:
The punishment of crime IS the
work of a few specialists. The pre-
vention of crime is the task for every
decent citizen. The 900 specialists
who have just conferred in Washing
ton are devising highly scientific
means of conviction and punishment.
Every teacher and parent and voter
should be making long plans for pre-
vention, which includes slum clear
ance. better civic regulations as to
buildings, and recreation centers, and
character training beginning with the
child as soon as he is able to talk.
The youngsters of three years who
brandish toy pistols and cry tick EN-
up" are finding banditry amusing.
The Christian Science Monitor in
series of 18 articles assembled the
opinions of experts which show that,
as in cancer cases, success means early
action and careful diagnosis. Our
criminal class of II to % years Is
largely recruited from slum districts
where children have had no normal
outlet for their activities. There
must be not only clearance of slums
but also proper new buildings near
mems work that will permit their
paying rent. A keen student of So
cial problems writes from New York
that the new Knickerbocker village
tenements are far beyond the slum
population in price. As We all now
know, children learn criminal methods
