VANDALISM RAMPANT


Two acts of wanton vandalism in as
many days once again call attention to the
constant need of protection against young
vandals
George NJ Carey complained that his
orchard had been kiepredateds He had
taken great pains to clear jungle and
landscape It with citrus fruit trees. But be-
fore the fruit had chance to ripen, it was
stolen and the trees were damaged before
they had chance to blossom ont m. full
beauty.
Mr.. Carey is angry and justifiably so.
He is 50 angry that he has offered a $40
reward for evidence that win convict any
one caught picking his fruit without per-
mission.
This was not youthful prank. not an
isolated instance
The other day The Holy Manager"
miniature setting on display at the Lopez
Funeral Home was destroyed
This unspeakable act of grossness per-
pertrated two days before Christmas ac-
centuates as nothing eise possibly could the
prevailing extent of vandalism in Key
West.
Itindieates that juvenile delinquency
is increasing. .ss.,.l,s ss..s@..s.sS
Last week the police took two little
boys into custody for stealing bicycles
Arresting children is an unpleasant
duty. It is unpleasant and unnecessary and
serves no lasting purpose.
Children must be taught early the diff
ferences between right and wrong and viz
tue and evil They should be trained in the
social amenities to be courteous and re-
spectful of the rights of others.
The home and the school( the parent
and the teacher should be held responsible.
If the children are found wanting, it is the
parents who should be held accountable for
the derelictions of their young.
The apparent excess of juvenile delin-
queney in Key West is an Indictment against
the parents of Key West.
Today. more than ever, must the rights
of sovereignty. both of the home and ones
country be respected. The children of to-
day as the citizens of tomorrow must be
taught to respect implicitly the property of
others.
1t is lesson that must be taught hard
and early.

cLERcYMEN AND WAR

Clergymen who have expressed pro-
nounced pacifist opinions during the past
twenty years. including those who have
talked foolishly about never assisting their
own nation in war. are rapidly readjusting
themselves to the hard facts of aggression.
No clergyman is called upon to beat the
toul-toms for war but the pulpit is not the
place for weak-minded idealist incapable
of serving the acute spiritual requirements
of people at war. Neither IS It the place
for an exaggerated ego to proclaim carping
criticism Of the government. is policies and
those risking their lives for our defense.
