Reasons For The Death OF A Local Younqsier

1t may happen tonight, tomorrow
death of some youngster in our COM
munity is inevitable in the present
picture of local juvenile delinquency.
Last week Chief of Police H. E.
Epps picked up two youngsters, IL
and ID years old, for breaking and
entering. 1t wasn't difficult arrest.
Both boys had committed the same
type of offenSeS not too long ago.
It's the future that scares US.
Some night the policeman on duty
will be checking stores and find some
youngster rifling drink box, coin
box or some other money container.
In the darkness it will be difficult for
him to tell whether it is a youngster
or adult. The youngster will attempt
to escape and death that should
never have occurred will take place.
So long as the correctional institu-
tons have waiting lists and juvenile
delinquents realize the situation there
Will be youngsters who figure they
are risking nothing when they break
into a store. Their main objective is
to pick up an easy dollar. 1t hasn't
crossed their minds that they might
lose their lives. They only know that
they amt going to do nothing with
us cause they amt got no place to
put U.s."
If North Carolina has reached such
a pathetic stage that there is nothing
to offer youngster who displays, re-
peatedly, criminal tendencies, then
we have reached an all time low.
Some contend that there is no hope
for youngster who continues crimi-
nal ways at the age of -. We take
no stock in this theory. Many so-called

place right in our own neighborhood.

Tomorrow is "Toy Day" and it's

not be in vain if you take the discard

Even though you will labor some in

Even A Drop AT A Time Fills A Bucket

Tabor City has never worked to keep
up, Nth the Jones family. Those who
work for the interest of the town
wait for no one. They spot a need
and work to find solution. From
this comes the name for being alert,
interested and progressive.
Aside from the adults having facili-
ties, community center might give
our youngsters some of the advantages
they have been denied We see no
reason why a room couldn't be built
to serve as a library nor do we detect
any foolishness in the idea of recre-
alton room. There will be other ideas
presented as eyes focus on the pro-
ject.
For the moment, everything is still
in the wishful stage. Tomorrow the
picture may become even brighter.
With the Civilians and Jaycees pledg-
ing their support to it as community
project, we hope to find other clubs
in the same frame of civic mind.
The only conclusive point is that
if the people want it there will be no
stopping them. We hope the people
will want it.

hardened criminals have paid their
debt to society and gone on to be of
service to mankind. There is no reason
to give up hope for teenager.
We agree that failure to take meas
ures when a youngster goes astray is
an excellent way of offering him
one way ticket to the State Prison
when he becomes old enough to make
the trip.
The ones who should be punished,
In most cases, are unmolested. Parents
who lack the sense of responsibility
in teaching their children right from
wrong and guiding them along the
narrow paths are guilty of contribut-
ing to the delinquency of minor.
1t is this charge that we would like
to see lodged against parents of
youngsters who roam the streets and
back alleys at all hours of the night.
1t is these parents who deserve no
breaks. They should pay the price
for placing stamp of approval on
their youngsters juvenile delinquency
by failing to take action.
We venture to suggest that a few
prison sentences for negligent parents
would go a long ways toward bring
ing the majority to their senses. 1t
would be great service to the chill
dren. AS for the children whose par
entS are sentenced, they won't suffer.
They would at least be in the hands
of the Welfare Department where
they could receive proper attention.
The courts have long been too leni-
ent on people who abuse the privilege
of parenthood. They are the ones who
are delinquent. It's time some action
took place along these lines.
