OF Key West Young Men
By PAUL MAY


WASHINGTON. D. c.. March
ls.-Af least 40 Key West young
men and boys. Is TO "a years of
age. are out of school and unsm-
pIoYed. according TO estimates
made By the American Youth
Commission Of the American
Council On Education. at the re-
quest of the Washington care
spondenf Of The Key West CHI
zen.
This Is . manifestation Thai enc
Of Key VESTS major ecouomir
and social problems IS is youth.
according TO Dr.. Homer P RaineY.
director Of the American Youth
Commission.
The commissions estimates. DR..
Rainey said, are based on a pro-
lection Of detailed surveys made
throughout the country over a pc
Rod of two and one-haH years.
and if they err. do so in painting
the picture too bright rather than
too black
Here are some Of the things DR..
Rziney has to say about Key West
youth and its problems:
Approximately $50 Key West
youths. Is to a years Of age, in
GLIDING the 30 or more unen-
ployed, have serious economic
hsndicaps such as total or partial
unemployment, low wages. long
hours. and job insecurity
Twenty-three percent of Key
West youths IN this age group
approximately z70-are married
and average one child each Yet
the average wage of these young
family men IS less than SIS a
week. and - least half Of them
are getting less than Sl4
Another 70 percent Of these
young men IS to "A years old are
helping support their parents.
brothers and sisters, and is per
cent are the chief bresd-winners
of their families. Fifteen percent
more come from families which
need help. but are unable 20 help
them
Thirty percent of Key West
boys and young men between
these ages waited at least . year
for their first job. while sixteen
percent waited two years or more
Twenty-six percent of those IN
this age group. who have left
school, have never been employed
and the average duration OF their
unemployment is one year and
eleven months.
Approximately 10 Key West
young men, under Is. want to get
married. but are delaying their
marriage because Of economic
reasons. sg1W
Key West boys whd drop 81 II
school before tken "a i6[NS4z
old can expect 4 "a aakse
Of 81 years before getting Jobs.
and some who drop Out N this
way may have TO wait 1sTnHR a.
ten years before getting work: DT;
Rainey estimates 70 80
The majority of these unem-
pl0yed youths N Key West are not
registered with any employment
agency. according TO Dr.. Rainey.
They are. he says, literally piled
I'D behind the walls of our indus
trial and agricultural orEaniza-
ton. More than half Of them
have had no special training for
any occupation
One Of the major needs n at
tscking the problem. DR.. Rainey
says. is q local organization serv-
ing as part Of q national system.
for collection Of occupati0naI data,
and which viii serve the CON-
munity as q guidance center for
youth in which all local agencies
should cooperate in an analysis Of
community needs and opportuni-
ties. an analysis Of individual
youths characteristics. and guid-
ance. placement. and supervision
az individual youths.

nifty.
This division of our lesson is
drawn from no special portion of
the Scripture lesson, but is present
ed to place squarely before us the
fact that we land we are speaking
specifically to fathers) have plain
and inescapable responsibility for
our family life, as well as to empha-
size the fact that this is not a re-
sponsibility of which we should be
afraid. 1t is Gods gift of glorious
opportunity.
Eli was a personal success as
priest. He had many commend
able qualities, not the least of which
was his gracious recognition of the
ministry of Samuel, who had grown
up in his presence and yet who
was recognized by Eli as the mes
senger of God. Compare Mark ga
and Tim. 4:12) But he missed
Life's greatest opportunity by los
ing his own boys. Sad to say, many
father has followed him. yes, even
we are sorely tempted to make our
business tand it may be the bust
ness" of the Lord the thing of pri-
mary concern, and let our children
fit in where they may, or not at all.
Let US look on the brighter side
IN closing our study and recall the
inspiring contribution that has been
made to our national life, to our
spiritual life and our social advance

of the most humble of homes, with
the most meager worldly advan-
tages, but with the rugged charac-
ters-physically, morally, and spir-
itually stalwart-which have been
nurtured in true Christian home.
1t pays, not only for the person and
for the family, but also for the ma
ton, to have Christian fathers.
