"As we live through the trou-
blous times of today I believe
that a government, particularly
q democratic government, is
only as good as the represent
atives that serve its legislative
bodies" declared the First Lady.
TRAINING OF YOUTH
Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out
that improvement in the type of
citizens in this country could
be done through the training
ant understanding Of young
men and women, which, she
said, was a job in the hands Of
elders. Mrs. Roosevelt said:
"It is an advantage today
that young people are freer to
talk with elders. I think it is
a good thing, because we elders
should learn from them as well
as to give them something from
our own experience. All that
we can hope to dc is to show
that we make an effort to be
understanding and that we are
willing to use our own mistakes
to help young people.
Allowing young people to feel
that they have a responsibility is
the basis for good citizens. Find
them things to do. If they really
have something to do, it
will make all the difference in
their interest.
From every home there
should flow a real interest in
decisions of what we are stand
ing for as nation and what we
intend to be in the future. 1t is
to be decided in homes by
parents of today. Young people
Of tomorrow will be the real gov
errors of the country"
