ASKS support LOT Aeen-ASerS
Dear Folks;
We have in our community some
as fine young people as there is
anywhere in the whole world, do
you realize that? Youth is the same
everywhere at any timel Think
back when you was a kid-and see
if fun and good time didn't mean
lot to you. Sure you probably
did it a little different. Maybe
there was bean strings or apple
pealing in your time and was it
fun? Sure! Could you kids have
done it on your own? MOI Your
folks did it, but you had the fun
didn't you-so why do we expect
the kids to be able to get along
with out grown up help. Now give
them your support, they will ap-
preciate it very much and will be
better kids for it.
An effort has been made to or
ganize the parents for the much
needed proper recreation for our
youth here, but it has been unsuc-
cessful as yet But the kids are
trying on their own and doing a
good job too There are problems
sure, but isn't there problems in
everything big or small, and to be
expected in any worthwhile under
taking?
The teen-agers sponsored a dance
Saturday night, at the Community
Hall and it was a great success.
Whenever you can help the teen
ayers out, if you are a parent do it
for your child, if you are not, do
it because you once was a child
yourself.-Thanks. The teen-agers
