ARIZONA'S NEGRO YOUTH

several Gays ago ndu TIE Op-
portunity to lunch with Al Thomas,
Executive Secretary of the Phoe-
nix Urban League, and as one
might suspect, the casual conversa-
ton quickly drifted to the youth
of Arizona in general, and later
the conversation became more spe-
cific in discussing the Negro youth
of Arizona.
It seems that in any one year a
certain percentage of the youth
referred to Juvenile Court are
Negroes. Mr.. Thomas was sur
prised to learn that the percentage
of Negro boys and girls referred
to the Court is slightly more (ac-
cording to the population ratio)
than might be expected. He posed
very crucial question: what
might the Negro people of Arizona
do to help in this regard?" This
particular question has been an is.
sue for a great deal of concern in
the past few years. In response to
this question, Thomas was asked
to hear a specific casa case we
shall call Bill Brown. (The name is
fictional; the facts are true)
Bill is a we'll developed Negro
boy of IS. Healthy, vigorous and
giving no outward signs of being
delinquent. But Bill has been in
constant difficulty since he was II
years old. Rarely has month gone
by in the past three years when
Bill was not referred to the Police
or Juvenile Court. Through all
this, various methods of helping
Bill were tried but in every case he
returned to his home and mother,
hoping that the entire family sit
uation would improve and he could
adjust normally in society. One
would hate to go into, here, the
sordid conditions in Bills home.
The. father has been missing for
number Of years and the mother
might be called an alcoholic. Bill
and several other children sleep in
one room on an assortment Of
nakeshift beds. In short, BilPs
home is unfit for human occu-
pancy" but society hesitates to
separate children from their fami-
lies. At this moment, the Court is
faced with dilemma-to return
Bill home once again or to take
him out Of society completely for
period of time, only to forestall
the inevitable, that Bill must be
separated from his family and Civ
en- an opportunity in a stable home.
Perhaps in a new environment
altogether.
4 asked AL Thomas what the
Negro people have available in the
way of meeting this need, that is,
providing a good stable home for
a boy in need of a good stable
home. I also asked him what the
Negro people could provide in the
way of part-time job so that Bill,
if he were placed in a stable
home, could find success in earn
ing his own money. He replied
that he knew of no organized pro-
gram which could help in this or
similar situations, but perhaps the
| chief reason such a program was
not functioning was because the
Negro people did not know of the
need. He felt certain that once
they knew the conditions and the
urgent need existing, that the Ne
gro people would meet this need
Immediately. It was at this point
that Al Thomas asked me to write
this article. It might be added here
by the way of conclusion, that the
Bill Browns are legion and crying
out for your help.

Campaign Tips
The Library

Many a life insurance
salesman has made a call
on new parents after read
ing the birth announce
ments in the newspaper,
only to find that the new
father has already taken
out insurance on the new
baby or else has said mo"
to every agent who called.
Here's an idea! In the
local library, review the
birth announcements of
five or six years ago. Then
check with the city direc-
tory to see if the parents
of the baby are still living
in your city.
Call on them! Perhaps
they would like to have a
policy for Junior now or
perhaps the in sur a n c e
bought when he was born
isn't enough.
