AN OPEN LETTER TO
PARENTS

l.
Blood dripped from the hero's
mouth. His face, raw and swollen
was distorted with pain. The vii
lain's eyes sparkled happily as
he drew back his boot for an
other kick.
Tears slid out of the corners of
the eyes of the little golden-hair-
ed girl sitting beside me. Prob
ably seven or eight years old, she
tried hard not to cry and quickly
wiped away the tears when she
thought no one was watching.
l pitied the poor child. Then /
began to get MAD. Mad at the
parents, countless thousands, who
thoughtlessly do not care what
their children see.
ooh, it's all right. The good
cowboy always wins"
You hear that many times and
it might have been a sufficient
excuse for the time shows
but it won't do for the ones to-
day.
Now children see, in fantastic
realism, man stupidity staring
at an arrow protruding from his
belly which they just heard make
a nauseating "plop." Or the
good man" looking satisfied
stands by watching while the
dad man." with his clothes afire,
burns to death. And every tiny
detail of the inhuman agony is
acted out for their "enpoyment.'
Such entertaining" scenes as
eyes gouged out with hed-hot
prongs and a chopped-off head
carried on a platter are spared
no expense to make them seem
uncannily real.
Do we realize how many such
scenes with sadistic brutality are
becoming commonplace simply
because we see so many of them?
What about our youngsters who
lounge around on the rug in front
of the television set and nonchal
antly look on while some char
acter in drunken rage snarls,
I'm gonna kill you if it's the
last thing ever dol" Then the
drunk grabs a saber and plunges
it in another mans stomach,
carefully draws it out, and wipes
off the dripping blood with a
tablecloth
Television has immense influ-

ton pictures are beautiful and

Springs Disappeared

Many older houses which were
built by permanent springs no
longer have permanent springs
nearby. If they have a spring at
all, it may be only temporary, or
intermittant. This is sometimes
called a wet weather spring.
When the weather gets dry, the
spring dries up. Some of the
older generations can remember
when they were permanent.
The dried up perm n n t
springs are not likely to return.

FROM A KANSAS MOTHER
An Open Letter 10 Parents


It's no idle speculation that jul
venile delinquency MAY be in
creasing. We have proof that it
is horrifying truth. Major
crimes Gas a whole have multi
piled almost FOUR times as fast
as our population since 1850, ac-
cording to the F.B.I. But the
ALARMING factor pointed out
by j. Edgar Hoover is that almost
1870 of these crimes were COM
mitted by youths UNDER 18 -
and of that 1870 the largest pro-
portion (40%) were not yet even
Is years old!
I'm begging you parents-take
time to teach your children some
thing. You are still head of your
house aren't you? You CAN turn
off the TV set if you want to-? If
your child sulks and pouts, you
are smarter than he is, aren't
you-and can plan some activity
that will stimulate his brain?
Maybe you as an adult cannot
answer what are considered the
three most important questions
of mature life what do you
want out of life, what do you
want to do, where do you want
to live) but you can control your
own juvenile offspring by ID See
ing that they have WORK to do.
q CHECKING that they do it
right. 81 KNOWING where they
are at all times. I'm pleading,
now that you as an intelligent
grown-up-accept the response
bility of guiding your children.
MENTALLY - Work with
school boards; all organizations
that raise the QUALITY of teach
ers; teach them yourselves dur
ing their hours at home EVERY
THING you have learned from
experience.
PHYSICALLY - G m IS as
youngsters, competitive sports Gf
only in the family for teenagers;
and out and out calisthenics.
Namely because good physical
workout is considered the best
way to work off emotional steam.
SPIRITUAL - If you are not
strongly attached to a religious
group take EXTRA pains to
teach, really set down with books
and TEACH, knowledge and love.
Use simply written book on the
history of philosophy outline
how down through the centuries
man has always progressed when
ever he has tried to help his fell
low man. Make list of your own
favorite famous men and women
and use a short stretch about
them from the encyclopedia to
learn from their lives.
We adults control a large part
of what our young people see,
hear and learn. Let's do the job
right.

Mr.. P. D. East, Editor
The Petal Paper
Petal, Mississippi
Dear Sir:
After reading about you and
| your paper in a newspaper ar
ticle by Paul V. Coates, made a
mental note to send you check
at once for a subscription. That
was a few weeks back. The de-
lay was occasioned, l suppose, by
suspicion as to the authenticity
| of the facts set down in the arti-
cle-although l am aware OF the
integrity of the writer. In this
day of advertising and political
pressures, for an editor to pro-
coed as you have done is highly
unlikely.
l have never lived in the South.
I have never even visited that
section. Yet l believe l can UNI
derstand-after doing some hard
thinking on the subject and at
tempting to view the arguments
dispassionately - that the white
people in the South are likely to
view the question of segregation
differently than born and bred
Westerners. It's all so easy out
here; it requires no effort at all
to stand up and cry Shame"
(Which makes your stand the
more remarkably It's a common
occurrence to board streetcar in
this city and sit down by a Ne
gro; or have colored person sit
down by you in a restaurant; and
you don't give it a second
thought. It may be that being at
distance from the scene, we
don't tend to lose sight of what
has been termed "basic human
dignity" If there is such a thing
then discrimination is morally
untenable.
I'm pretty well convinced that
prejudice results from education.
We're not born with it. 1t ought
to be just as easy to develop
what we are born with as it is
to drive it away. 1t isn't natural
to experience prejudice; it's nat
ural. however, to experience
brotherly love. Oh, | know that's
trite phrase to many; but let
me Illustrate:
! A large colored woman boarded
| a streetcar that l was riding. Be-
fore she reached her seat, the car
started with a lurch. Losing her
| footing, she started to fall. A
strong white arm shot out and
prevented the fall. The colored
woman thanked the man profuse-
lv and sat down. But the act OF
kindness was too much to bear.
A few minutes passed and she
leaned over and said to the man,
81 SURE do want to thank you.
We were watching the annual
running of the Los Angeles Coli
scum Relays. The world famous
athletes had finished their rec
ord smashing performances, and
it was getting late; yet the huge
crowd remained seated. The de-
Gliding events of the all-city high
school track championships were
being run off. This yearly cul-
mination of an intense inter-clty
rivalry held, as usual, the atten-
ton of the crowd, alert for the
inevitable thrills. The five-year
winning streak of formidable JET
ferson High, the all-Negro school
appeared about to be broken
During the important relay race
an incident occurred. At the mo-
ment of passing his baton, white
boy stumbled and fell, dropping
his stick. With over forty-seven
thousand pairs of eyes on him, ne
lay with the bitter blame OF de-
feat over him. Absorbed in the
