E0f Mrs. Butcher :

The Randle Highlands Citizens
Association last night resolved
to petition for the removal OF
DR.. Margaret Just Butcher from
the Board of Education.
The association noted that DR..
Butcher has taken a leave Of
absence from her job at Howard
University to travel for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People. It
was felt that this was not a
neutral approach in work which
includes the interests of the en-
tire school system.
The group also heard a talk
from Mrs. Henry A. Bartlett,
president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations. Having
just returned from the New York
Herald-Tribune's forum on inte-
grafton, Mrs. Bartlett reported
the. stand she took.
Asked at the forum how the
people of the District felt about
being a model for integration,
she replied, "It's a responsibility
and privilege that the citizens
would have been proud to meet,
but they did not get the oppor-
tunity.
eve are an example," she
continued, "of what happens
when a community is de-
franchised and the balance of
power in government is dis
guised."
In other business. the asso-
citation approved a donation of
$25 to the Federation to aid in
their court proceedings to delay
integration in the public schools.

A PERFECTED ORGANIZATION

The Noble County Hospital association came into being
Friday evening when important meeting of those
eSted proposed hospital for Noble county was held at
the grade school cafeteria
For its officers, the association will see Mrs William
Fleming of Caldwell its chairman Mrs. Emily Havener
of Summertied, will the secretary Roy Seaser
of Belle Valley who is currently serving mayor of that
village, will be the vice chairman Mrs Edna Davis of
Caldwell route 3, will be the treasurer ..
Mrs Davis has been serving temporary chairman of
the organization until permanent board of officers
named.
The above officers represent cross section of Noble
county and during the few months which until the
November election they will be working with every
ship in the county
The newly elected officers will now meet with the
MOI county commissioners and seek their cooperation
the 5uildng of hospital
They also expect to work with the trustees in each
township for they feel that the trustees the
roots of this county and hospital must have the support
of its people.
With the cooperation of the commissioners township
trustees and the people getting behind the proposed hospital
this movement is expected to gain momentum.
Charles J. Marr architect from New Philadelphia,
attended the meeting and cited several instances of other
communities the size of this county where hospital has
been constructed with without the aid of the Burton
bill
He especially dweled on Mersburg in Holmes
county, which is comparable in size to Noble county.
The situation very much the in Noble
county but the idea was born back in 1886.

community got behind the dea passed bond issue and
built the hospital

THE AMERICAN WAY

inadequate. Teaching staffs, un-
derpaid and overworked, lack
both time and energy to enter
youths world as fully as they
should. The school day, neces-
sarily short as it is, often ends
at the very point where the bulk
of the problem begins.
A further contribution to
youths emptiness is the lack Of
job opportunities for teen-age
youngsters. Modern communica-
tions and mechanical delivery
have largely eliminated the err
rand boy. The screeching, com
petitive newsboy of two genera
tions ago is now almost a thing
of the past. Public-education and
child-welfare laws, combined
with union lethargy and lack of
employer imagination, have
largely eliminated true appren-
ticeship as an incentive to youth.
All in all, the enterprises the
youth of today can turn to after
school for interest and financial
return are few and far between.
Finally, there is the growing
detection of parenthood - in
part occasioned by the employ
ment schedules of one or both
parents, frequently on night or
swing shifts, in part the result
of Self-centered interests and
general indifference to fledglings
in the home. Many a working
class youngster returns home
after school to find the house
deserted, both parents off at
work, a cold meal laid out on
the kitchen table for him to
MUNICH when, he gets hungry.
And in all too many cases, the
child of the so-called upper
crust fares no better - for the
reason that his parents are both
involved in a Whirl of social
gadding. Left to the kids in both
cases are empty, unguided hours
to be filled in with questionable
t. v. entertainment or rough
house with neighborhood gangs.
When the latter association ex-
tends after dark and possibly
until all hours anything at all
can happen and frequently does.
That briefly is the challenge
which faces us zeen-agers. Is
there solution to the problem?
/ believe there is and in my next
article, I'll attempt to show how
we can solve it. Maurice r.

ZEEN.AGE PROBLEM

Tomorrow's American is to-
day a teen-age youngster. We
know this and yet we are prone
to Forget it. We shrug when we
should pause to let the full
significance sink in. We concen-
trate upon our immediate affairs
when we should stop long en-
ough to ponder and act upon the
longer-term problem of our
youth.
The union leader of few
years hence is today in his teens.
So is tomorrow's industrial lead
er. So are all the people who
only too soon will be charged
with the job of directing our ma
TONS affairs -- as politicians and
statesmen, as educators and
churchmen. All that America
can possibly hope to be in the
years soon to come is presently
tied up in our kids between the
ages of twelve and twenty.
What the human product will
be when tomorrow claims its
citizens is not now youths pro-
blem but ours. The shape OF
things to come is ours to deter
mine. It will respond to our
imagination and enterprise in
training our youth. 1t will de-
pend upon the facilities we pro-
vide - and upon the extent of
our investment in time and eff
fort and money.
Viewed thus, there is no teen
age problem. In spite of what we
read and hear, there is only a
problem for their elders. To in
clude all adults, let's take it to
the end of the alphabet and call
it a zeen-age problem.
That such a problem - and a
mammoth one - exists for all
of us should be obvious to all
