who get married and are not
Christians. First, they do not real
iZe the sacred vows to each other,
taken before God and man. They
fuss, fight, and haven't the Chris
tan spirit to give them tolerance.
Both may work and come home
tired, others may be in the whirl
of society, trying to get all the
world pleasures out of life while
they are young. They have parties
and cocktails at home, as we'll as
in their friends homes. They do
not care to be bothered with the
children, so they say, go out and
play, or go to bed. They seem to
think food, clothing, and schools
are sufficient, and do not give the
children love and understanding.
A great many marriages end in di-
vorce, and that creates still a
more serious problem with chill
dren, because if a child does not
get love and understanding at
home, he will probably become a
juvenile delinquent case.
There is a problem that even
the Christian parents will have to
face, the TV programs. You can
prevent your child from going to
see the types of picture shows that
would not be good for them, but
the TV is part of the home and
many of the programs seem to en-
phasiZe the point that it is proper
to drink strong drinks anytime
from early morning to late at
night. Another type of dangerous
TV show is the one that depicts
the criminal as hero. If the peo-
pie will work and write to their
congressman and other leaders,
these programs could be removed
from the air.
Now, let's take a look at the
other side of the picture. If the
parents are Christians, they can
adjust their differences, and will
not have fights and divorces. The
children can come to their parents
with their problems, and can feel
that they have real pals in their
mothers and fathers. Constant as
sociation with the churches of
their choice, and the pastors of the
churches teaching love in the
home, with Christ as the senior
partner to guide them all the way
will not only eliminate juvenile de-
linquency, but will also abolish
Communism and crime.

Dear Editor:
Someone asked me a few days
ago what I thought was the best
way to cure juvenile delinquency,
and my reply Immediately was,
what is the best cure for typhoid
fever? The answer was to take
the typhoid vaccine to prevent the
fever. We must do the best thing
to help these children who have
gotten into trouble, but prevention
is the right approach to the prob
lem.
In two previous letters, we dis
cuSsed: first, ample classroom fa-
cilities, Y.M.C.A., Boys and Girls
Clubs, buildings, and facilities for
all types of sports. Second, we dis
cussed teachers, and the teacher
shortage, and some of the basic
principles that our teachers should
teach. believe a great deal could
be accomplished through close as
sociation of teachers and parents.
The P.-TA., as well as personal
contact between teachers and par
ents will be helpful as problems
develop.
The Christian home with its re-
lationship to the church is the
foundation upon which all nations
must stand or fall. We should
study the history of young couples

Benson if he thought there should
be government guarantee of
100 per cent of parity. Said he:
II don't think we can. Parity
price guarantees cause over-pro-
duction. And that is one of our
big problems now.
'It is ridiculous to have COM
modities stored. They would be
far more helpful if grains and
other agricultural products were
to go into stomachs instead of
storage"

needs should be met"

has done an excellent job since
its inception. One of the strong
est points of the service has been
the fact that it has been locally
administered.
The only money involved has
been to buy technical services.
There have been no handouts,
as such, to buy" something.
District Supervisors have con-
tributed time without cost = and
oftentimes money out of their
own pockets to get the job
done. The highest appropriation
the federal government has ever
made in any one year amounted
to 81 million dollars. AS spend
ings of the government goes, this
is but a drop in the bucket.
Two major factors have been
involved in the recent controver-
sy. One has to do with the err
ronious idea that the Extension
Service would gobble up the SCS.
The other has had to do with
the disbandment of the regional
offices.
At a press conference this past
Thursday November 12) Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft
Benson assured me that the ex-
tension service would not take
over the workings of the SCS.
Further, he said, doing away
with the regional offices would
not impair the good work being
done by the SCS. According to
Mr.. Benson, it will streamline
the work being done by the
SCS.
There are approximately 900
people working in the regional Of
fices," he said. about half of
them are technicians. These tech
nicianS will still be used, but
they will be working out of the
state offices and the Washington
office. The regional offices have
been a barrier between Washing
ton and the farmer. The whole
idea is to tie them in more
closely with the various state op-
erations."
Even district supervisors are
not too much worried about the
future of the SCS. At a district
soil conservation meeting in Del
aware several nights ago it was
noted that about Is per cent of
: the members were in favor of the
l reorganization.
= 1t seems to be the feeling OF
the local people that soil con-
y servation would go on regardless
of what kind of help would bc
forthcoming from Washington
}. THE service has proved itself
I to be so worthwhile, one mem.

farmers in the district would car.

f Secretary Benson commented

: uation. Said he: II did not ask
for the job. I have received g
lot of criticism since taking office
The facts are that no Secretary
would be popular in a period oi
declining prices.
Farmers, farm organizations
and others were called to Wash
ington earlier this year. They
were asked what should be done
