Editorial Comment
LANGUAGE

In a ceratin office in certain great uni
'versity there hangs sign which declares that
the English language is the most valuable
tool thai student or scientists, can have.
The same would be true in the language Of
any country where real scientist might be
working. It all foots up to the statement tina
fac is not greatly useful unless it is expressed
in way that others may understand it,
Why is it, then, that so many who assume
the guise of scientist seem to feel that they
should cloak their statements in such langua ge
that few can understand them? Does it in
dlcate wisdom to say things in a way that is
strange, or hard to fathom? Is it necessary
Tor real scientist to wear this sort of false
whlskers? I don't think so.-Florida Grower.
Some of these days we are going to have
TO agree on a peaceable, orderly method Of
settling disputes over who gets how much for
what work. Or else we'll all have to knock
on and go 3ishing-and hope we catch enough

Consider The Teen-Ager

When the Chamber Of Commerce moves
into the Wilson Hut and the Industrial USO on
Princess street is closed, teen-agers east of
Hemenway school will be without recrea-
ton center adequate to their needs. This will
mean that children east of Fifth street will
have no supervised place to 60 for their
recreation.
Questioning has brought out these facts:
At one time general program was con-
Quoted at Chestnut Heights school, Teen-Age
club, and athletic program being the most
popular. In December, 1914, the school board
asked that the club including high school
students be discontinued at c h e st n u t
High School P. T. A., Lions club and other
community groups, arrangements were made
To use the Third and Grace USO (now
Y.W.C.A) and later the Woodrow Wilson hut
on Friday nights. Several arrangements have
been attempted by parents in the eastern part
of the city to provide programs for their chill
dren in the neighborhood but facilities were
inadequate.
The Woodrow Wilson hut, since the closing
of Camp Davis and the curtailnent of mill
tary activities in this area, has proved to be
a most successful downtown center for teen.
ed their own club and carried out their own
programs with the advice of the City recrea-
ton staff and parents. 1t was available to them
from $3.50 until 6 p. m. on school days and
from until II on Friday night. The hut serv-
ed mainly those teen-agers in vicinity of
High School and on east to the city limits and
beyond.
With the closing Of the hut and industrial
USO by October 81 service to large portion
of Wilmington will be eliminated; about $50
teen-agers are registered members using the
Woodrow Wilson hut. Since the decision con-
corning the change in use of the hut, the
Second and Orange USO auditorium has been
made available for the teen-age club on Fri
day night.
This facility has advantages and disad-
vantages but, no doubt is providing a worth
while service on Friday nights. In addition
to the regular Woodrow Wilson hut Teen-Age
club rs younger teen-agers from Hemenway
school district use the hut and Industrial USO
for their recreation. Therefore, total Of be-
tween 425 and 500 teen-agers will lose their
regular places of meeting when the hut and
USO close.
The closing of the facilities will make big
gap in recreational services but will not affect
the groups in neighborhoods in the north and
south sides Of the city including the following
neighborhood centers: Cornelius Hartnett IS
children; Hemenway 253; Nesbitt Courts 24O
and Lake Forest 497.
Obviously there is need for teen-age cen.
ter in the area affected by the changes at the
Woodrow Hut and the Industrial USO What
is to be done is matter to be decided by the
city administration.
The youngsters, lacking a central place TO,
congregating after school hours will be the
better for its creation. And if it were open 70,
short time after the evening meal it would
serve broader purpose.

Supervisors Discuss
Road Attorney Ruling

After listening to the reading

absolutely illegal" for John
H. Nunneley to serve as County
Road Commission, attorney,
when his father was law part
