largely on their environment at
home or in the community. If our
future, with all the present day de-
velopments, is to offer a life OF
lesser working hours and more
leisure time, then the citizens OF
today should be much more con-
cerned about developing an envir-
Onment for the youth where
worthy acknowledgment can be
developed for the child's time.
believe our schools of today
put too much emphasis on our aca-
demic learning. A teacher, in my
opinion, could accomplish a lot
more in a class if she would take
advantage of various opportunities
as they present themselves in the
classes to put over lessons of moral
background, courtesy and man.
ners. believe we should empha-
size more the fact that in our
crowded democracieS the feeling
of live and let live should be in
stilled in the youth. Happiness in
a democracy will only exist when
people are concerned about the
welfare of each other. While youth
has their best interest at heart they
are subject to temptations which
are not good for their own well
fare unless strong will power
has been developed at home, in
the church, or in the school.
When ill situations come to pass
in any community, I feel that 1t
is as much the parents fault as
anyone else. Raising family is a
very definite responsibility and
should be given serious conSldera-
ton before a young couple sets
forth on such a program. Parents
properly accepting this parental
responsibility should see to 1t that
they have family circles at home
in the evenings in which the chill
dren would have the advantage OF
the parents background. have
never known a parent who did not
have the best heartfelt interest for
the child and his or her ambitions.
However, if the parents are more
concerned about having their chill
dren entertained SO that they can
enter in to such an entertaining
program themselves, not only this
community, but any community
will be burdened with great
deal of delinquincies. It being the
interest of most parents that their
children grow into good citizens
and successful citizens for life,

editor asked me to write it up as
an article for the paper. It is my
feeling that any recreational pro-
gram that has nothing in mind,
but entertainment for the youth
of the community is possibly as
detrimental to the community as
the good it could accomplish. Any
recreational program should take
into consideration the development
in the various fields of arts, crafts,
skills, hobbies, ideals, and ambi-
tions and only very carefully and
well planned entertainment.
Youth of all communities are
primarily the same. Practically all
of them are ambitions to make
good citizens and to be successful
in life. However, this depends
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1946-12-05

they should follow that interest by
studying what they themselves can
do to contribute to this success.
Young parents should develop at
early stage to associate with their
children and continue this until
they are grown. Fireside evenings,
hunting and fishing trips together
with father and son, picnics, all OF
which will give the parents many
opportunities to impart to his or
her child the interests they have
for them. -Es-.-. 81.
Parents should always maintain
the leadership in the home. This
can be accomplished by being the
master when necessary and an at
fectionate companion at other
times.
It is surprising the dividends
these opportunities will pay Il
taken advantage of. The mere
fact that you can turn a group OF
children loose in the evening with
an automobile expecting them to
60 to a certain place with pos
sibly one person in charge Tor an
evenings entertainment and not
have them come in contact with
situations and temptations that are
mot becoming to their welfare, then
it would be well for parents to
follow up and find out for them
selves if everything met with their
approval.
It is unfair for the parents of the
community to expect that and rec
reational committee, with only one
or two paid employees can pro-
duce fine program for the COM
munity. A community the size OF
|Kennewick could use the talents
of many parents in developing
moral and cultural advantages for
the youth of the community. Par
ents, churches and the school can
do a great deal with the develop
ment of the higher ideals OF the
youth in the community, and
where some effort is spent along
this line you do not find the ran
dom desires of the youth forming
the program for the community.
The parents in our community,
if really interested in their chill
dren's welfare, are missing a grand
opportunity in not taking advan-
tage of the many church organiza-
tons of our community. While
many parents do have their chill
dren participating, other parents
would find their problems great
ly improved if the effort was ex-
tended to have their children at
tending Sunday school and church.
Since Mr.. Tuve does not want
me to take all the space of his en-
tire issue, I submit the above for
thought.

GET THE SEED E
READY NOW

Pansy seed, and the seed of all
perennials that have finished
blooming and have ripened their
seed should be planted the last of
this month or the first of August.
Now is the time to prepare the
seed bed for them and give it a
week or two to settle before putting
in the seed.
The seed can be planted in any
well prepared soil in the open, but
success is much surer in our eli
mate if they are planted in a frame
or bed where they can be protect
ed from wind, too-hot sun and hard
rains.
Such a frame we call a cold
frame to distinguish it from a hot
bed which is the same in construc-
ton except that it must be tighter
and furnished with some form of
heat. The coldframe is valuable for
growing hardy seedlings of flowers
and of vegetables. 1t is valuable
for growing seeds Of pansies, Eng
lish daisies, columbines, holly
hooks, foxloves, delphiniums and
other perennials and biennials the
seed of which is planted in sum-
mer for transplantiag this fall for
bloom next spring and summer.
This coldframe has many uses.
1t is good for heading lettuce for
late fall and early winter, for fall
and winter radishes and for spin
ach through the coolest months, as
well as for raising plants to be set
out in the garden at various sea-
sons, such as cabbage, peppers,
tomatoes. etc.
The best location for the cold
frame is a sheltered spot, protect
ed from winds, but in full sun, with
some sort of windbreak On the
north, such as a wall, fence, a
building o. evergreen plants. 1t is
much easier to handle if water is
conveniently close at hand.
The frame can be of wood, brick,
stone or cement. 1t should be SO
constructed that it slopes from
north to south. The north side can
be IL to 10 inches high and the
south side 6 to IL inches high. The
frame should always slope toward
the south because this allows for
maximum sur Strong cross pieces
every 3 feet across the o p
strengthens the frame, keeps it
from sagging and holds the cloth
cover up off the plants. A cloth
cover is ample protection for a
coldframe in our climate.
After constructing the frame, dig
out the dirt for 10 inches down.
Thorough drainage is essential. Put
in a 3-inch layer of some rough
drainage material (sman stones,
cinders, broken brickbats, or such)
with a layer of coarse sand over
it. Fill in with a mixture of one
third garden soil, one-third sand
and one-third woodsearth or peat or
very old weathere and crumbly COW
manure. Sift the top 2 or 3 inches.
Level carefully with a plank on
edge drawn back and forth over
the bed, so there will be no low
spots into which seeds may be
washed and where water will col
lect. Moisture cannot be kept uni
form over the bed if there are low
and high spots. Careful leveling is
quite an important step in making
the bed. Water the bed the day
before planting if the soil is dry.
