Teen-Aee Recreation

While the subject Of teen-age recrea-
ton Is under discussion, shall take the
opportunity to express some personal
observations. Some years ago, when
our third son was in junior high school,
I headed committee to plan and di-
rect a recreational program for the
school.
We planned a party for each grade
once a month, which meant three Fri
day nights at the school, It was difficult
to get parents enough to help. Some
children came for rough house, some
came to leave later for public places
otherwise forbidden. Transportation
was always problem.
These were not underprivileged chill
dren. There was no reason why the
parents could not give them at home
nearly everything they were getting at
the school. It seemed that most Of the
children would have been so much bet
ter of in small groups in their own
homes. The shy child who needs bring
ing out would be so much more COM
Portable. The precocious child would
be under less temptation to run with
mob" Small groups could be trans
ported If need be in family cars with
a parent driving, and often by walking
in their own neighborhood.
Why do not parents set up such
groups? Parents who cannot provide
facilities themselves can contribute in
some way toward helping those who
can.
The greatest problem is to wake up
each parent to his own responsibility.
Sororities and fraternities would dis
appear from schools if those children
belonged to home groups. Teachers
should not be responsible for children
outside Of school hours. If parents
want to use teachers in this way, let
them hire them to direct home party
now and then.
Parents might also wake up to the
opportunity they have in sharing the
teen-agers' social life. BY limiting q
group to size convenient to the aver
age home, the parents get to know each
youngster. Closer friendships develop
between the youngsters and a closer
bond develops between children and
parents. All too soon the years pass
and the home echoes with the voices of
youth that has gone. There is no turn
ing back to do the things which you
wish you had done.

Farmers Bottle With Clock

Your recent editorial, "Why Cows
Oppose Daylight Saving" reminds me
of another Star editorial year or SO
ago which said in effect that daylight
saving for the District was of no con-
Germ to the farmers of Maryland and
Virginia. Surely it is high time for
cities like Washington to recognize that
under modern conditions, no city is
isolated from the surrounding areas nor
can escape responsibility for a close
relationship with the farmers and small

transportation have changed all that.
Your excellent paper is read in re-
mote parts of both Maryland and Vir-
ginia. During daylight saving, the
morning papers received here have less
late news than during the rest of the
year, as they are made up an hour
earlier each night. Our midday radio

almost always in the fields at such

he not know that the people who listen
most carefully to weather reports are
rural folk? The "cow" editorial evi-
dences the same lack of understanding
for concern for the rural areas near
Washington.
When we hurry up our chores and
morning tasks in order to get to Wash

Amendment Could
Facilitate Seizure
OF Obscene Goods

ALBANY, N. Y, (NC)--An
amendment authorizing seizure of
obscene materials pending court
action has been introduced In the
New York State Senate.
In an attempt to crack down on
sellers of lewd material the amend
ment of the States code of Grim
inal procedure would allow the
search of premises where indecent
material is stored under an in
junction order issued to police
department heads and county
sheriffs, as well as to chief ex-
ecutive officers.
The action is in line with sug-
gestions made during q recent
Congressional probe in indecent
literature that authorities be al
lowed to stop circulation of OBJ
iectional material until a court
decision has been made. Witnesses
stated that under some Federal
and State Laws, dealers in filth
can do fast business" while
awaiting a court decision.
