Mr.. Burford, in a visit here
this week, Offered some observa.
tons which we found interesting
He said that In his 43 years
work with young people from all
walks Of life he had always felt
that young people remained the
same-whethe it was 1910 OF
1853. He said they have today
the same hopes and fears, the
same aspirations that young peo-
pie have always had.
Mr.. Burford said that we need
to do "less for youth--and more
with youth"
Youth today needs more shar-
ing-more help and guidance,
more of our influence and lead
ership, he said. He asked that
we not sell the youth Of today
Short.
The state leader deplored the
over-emphasis Of organized sports
and said he felt this is definite.
ly having an unwholesome in,
huence on the children. He said
men are making money on the
kids playing in the ball games
by gambling and using them in
advertising schemes.
He was referring particularly
to organized sports for the
smaller children under high
school age. not community re-
creation projects.
Mr.. Burford feels these small
err children could attain more
mental and spiritual growth in
camps with youngsters their own
age than participating in organ
lied activities to the exclusion of
everything else.
A lot of parents are agreeing
with the Burford view. Many
feel that sports are being over
emphasized.
There's certainly one lesson
every coach in every sport
should teach--and that is how
to lose with good spirit.
1t does not matter 50 much
who wins the games-but that
every man gives his best.

Statement
To. The Citizens 81 Durant
From Members

From Members
u The Fire Department.
The members of the Fire De.
partment desire to make cleal
to the people of Durant the cir.
cumstances surrounding the
withdrawal of their services as
firemen.
| A letter from the Mayor and
Board OF Aldermen was received
by the Fire Dept. suggestine
that the Department elect a Chief
and work out proposed regula.
tlons for operation of the depart.
ment for the coming year and
to present said proposed regu-
lations to the Mayor and Board
at the August 18th meeting. Re-
spending to this letter, the fire
men elected Joe York as Fire
Chief, and Fred Taylor as assist.
ant Chief, and worked out some
suggestions to be presented the
Mayor and Board in regards to
the payments made to the fire
men, regulations to guide tn e
department and for maintenance
OF proper traffic restrictions in
the vicinity of fires. When these
suggestions were presented to
the City Board at said meeting.
all the suggestions made except
two, were tentatively approved
by the Board. The two suggest
ionss objected to by the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen are:
70. (The firnen) ask for in
crease to $3.50 for small fires or
false alarms. $500 for fires where
two and one-half inch hose is
used. $1,000 for caretaker of the
truck per month" ct has been
the practice for the firemen to
rotate the duty of taking care OF
the truck and keeping it ready
for use in case of fire. This SER
vice is paid for at the rate OF
| @io'ou per month";
q. Chat the firemen) have
one drill per month to familiarize
each man with his duty at fires
Small fire rate $3.50 to be paid
| From the discussion of the.
above two suggestions, although
no formal vote was taken by the
Mayor and Board covering both
suggestions, it seemed to the
undersigned firemen who were
present, that the Mayor and
Board Of Aldermen were un-
willing to award the fire truck
caretaker an increase Of $500 per
month; and were opposed to the
authorization of one fire drill per
month with pay as requested by
the firemen.
The undersigned realize that
the Mayor and Board are respon-
siole to the people for the con-
DUCT OF municipal affairs. We are
not critical because of any ef-
tort on that part of the Board to
economic, where justified, and
IN the interests of the City. At
the same time, we are a volun-
teer fire department. We sincere
~ believe that the small amounts
asked for by us as above shown,
would not be sufficient to over
come the cost to us of serving
the City of Durant as firemen.
"hen the small amounts asked
| lor We're opposed by the Mayor
ana Board of Aldermen, we felt
'nat we We're justified in termi-
mating our service as firemen.
