SAYS FATHERS SHOULD BE
PROBATION" OFFICERS

Editor: AS a constant reader of
your newspaper I am much con-
cerned with an article which ap-
peared in recent edition. 1 am
referring to the article which COM
mented on the statement of a fell
low gentleman of the cloth" con-
corning the great need of a proba-
ton officer of our race-one who
would understand the problems of
our race lads and who would be
able to cope with these problems
from Negro point of view. 1
would not have it thought that 1
disagree with the cleric. I agree
with him fully. Yet wish to sup
plement his plea-but from a diff
ferent angle.
1t has been my most interesting
and pleasurable experience to have
been employed in boys work for
the past ten years during which
time 1 have been connected with
some very interesting cases. Upon
several occasions l have been ap-
pointed special probation officer
over many young fellows. Fortu-
nately during their probationary
period under me, 'my quiet voice"
and "the big stick of the law" car
ried them through until they were
suspended and able to stand upon
their Gown legs" of honor. How
ever, in but few cases, after hav-
ing been released from probation
their legs began to wobble and
they again staggered into delin-
quency.
Yes, l repeat, I agree with my
reverend brother. Give US a pro-
baton officer of color-yet I go a
step further by saying this. Every
boy, be he good or bad, needs a
probation officer. Not for just a
specified time, but for the definite
period of his adolescence. You may
question - how can this be, or
would it be practical? I answer
let every father of son be a
probation officer of his own son.
In most cases of boy delinquency
with which / have come in contact,
l find that there has been little, if
any, companionship between those
boys and their fathers. While re-
porting to the Juvenile Court pro-
baton officer, the boys tell him
what they have done for the two
weeks period; what his school
marks are, and what he plans to
do for the coming two weeks. This
interview should be copied by each
father. He should have daily lat
least a weekly interest in what
his boy is doing, how he is spend
ing his time, and with whom he is
spending it. The only fathers who
seem to take such interest in their
sons activities are fathers of boys
who have made outstanding
achievements in sports, etc. It is
not particularly this type of boys
who need the attention. It is the
backward boy, the boy of certain
inhibitions and completes who
needs the guidance of his fathers
counsel. Fathers, when you be-
come your own sons counselors
and probation officers, if you
please, it is then and then only
that juvenile delinquency will be
curbed.
Finally, may I suggest that each
father in the community join ranks
with two fine mems organizations,
the Halle @. Brown House Mems
Council and the Fishermen's Club
of the Welcome Hall Christian
Center, who are doing a fine work
with our boys and community
problems. The writer belongs to
both organizations and with their
aid hopes to be good father and
probation officer to his own three
sons. In my closing statement I

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, ST..
Men

I like men,
They stride about,
They reach in their pockets
And pull things out;
They look important,
They rock on their toes,
They lose all the buttons
Off their clothes.
There are some women,
Who will say,
They can get along
Without a man any day.
Men are necessary,
To have around,
But when you look
They're not always found.
Popularity sometimes is counted
By having suitors galore,
Some call at dinnertime
Which makes most mothers sore,
Some smoke so carelessly,
Drop ashes everywhere,
It's a dirty habit
Gets in ones hair.
They throw away pipes,
They find them again.
Men are queer creatures,
I like men.

Comment on War

BY LANGSTON HUGHES
Let US kill off youth
For the sake of truth.
We who are old know what truth

Truth is a bundle of vicious lies
Tied together and sterilized-
A war-makers' bait for unwise

To kill off each other
For the sake of
