BOYS CLUB WEEK
BY Staff Reporter

In a short space of time junior
has risen to national Importance
because this is Boys Club Week
The nation can boast of no or.
ganization with as rapid a rise
and certainly none more influen.
tial.
Today the Boys Club is national
in scope and receives government
aid. The next generations civic
standard will surely be measured
by today's Boys Club.
In King County Sheriff Harlan
s. Callahan enjoys the enyiable
distinction of fathering the Boys
Club and not boy among the
thousands who does not praise
Sheriff Callahan.
Religious teaching. the one-time
safety valve. Is out NODDED today.
The boy and girl. IL to IA, find
their calling beyond the Sunday
School. Parents sometimes are
glad to be free of their charges.
This is problem for the min
listers alliance as well as the par
ents. This generation must be-
come their flocks tomorrow If
they are not surrounded by the
circle of the church now, they
may soon become out of bounds.
To return them to the fold will
be a difficult task.
If your boy Is not member of
one of the boys clubs, why not?
Puget Sound Lodge Elks, under
the direction of Wendell Norris, a
captain of the Sheriffs office. is
sponsoring a boys club. Here they
may enjoy every class of sport
dear to boys heart-fishing,
swimming. baseball, boxing-eyery
known good, clean sport under
proper guidance and without cost
to every boy, regardless of race
or creed; where all boys may
meet their friends.
Immediately following assuming
the duties of his office, juvenile
delinquency became a paramount
problem. Instead of hiring extra
deputies to halt hayward juven-
il Z, he joined the gang. If you
can't beat 'em, jine 'em. Today
King County boasts of Boys Clubs
throughout the county and Sheriff
Callahan is the boss.
In the development of good cit
liens the Boys Club is a chal-
lenge to every parent and adult to
take their proper place in the
community to halt delinquency
born of every war or parental
neglect If they are not your COM
panions today, their companions
may be among those forced into
involuntary servitude. Statistics
show the greatest number of de-
linquents are from II to IS years
of age and the majority of all
adult prisoners were juvenile de-
linQuents.
