ALTERNATIVE TO DELINQUENCY

Former President Herbert Hoover is
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Boys Clubs of America. At the organiza-
tons 54th annual convention he said this:
"We hear much these days as to the causes
and the growth of youthful delinquency The
blame is usually put on the failure of parents;
the failure of religious training and the in
fectiOns from the TV and radio.
"But one cause is too often overlooked
That is that the boys in many of our slum or
congested areas have no place to go for air
and play except the streets. Being self
starting dynamos of energy and also being
gregarious, they join in groups. These groups
too often step firstinto mischief and from
there to crime"
The Boys Clubs provide an alternative.
The members are organized into sports
teams instead of into gangs. And the clubs
maintain shops and reading rooms where the
boys are given the opportunity to determine
their bent in life.
These clubs need financial support. 1t
costs about SIC million year to maintain the
present clubs, and new ones are constantly
being started. Their only source of revenue
is voluntary donations. And every Ameri-
can should give, no matter how small the
amount he can afford. The same thing is
true of other and similar institutions
Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Campfire
Girls, and so on. All of them, as Mr.. Hoover
points out, are shortof funds. That is con-
dition that urgently needs to be remedied.

BOATS. BOATS. BOATS

This nation is so prosperous that when
some form of recreation gets to a certain
stage of acceptance it may SNOWFALL to be-
come enormously popular in a rush. Boat
ing, especially power boating, is an excellent
example. Boats hum and roar on almost
every substantial body of water, these days,
even in regions where water craft were
rarities only few years ago.
This brings with it problems of regula-
tion. Wherever there are numerous boats,
there are water traffic hazards. There also
are bound to be conflicts of interest among
various classes of water users-fshermen,
power boat speedsters, sailboat enthusiasts,
water skiiers, and so forth.
Some of the problems caused by these con-
f1icts of interest are more or less in the nuis-
ance class. Others involve high degree of
danger. inexperienced boatment, for ex-
ample, can imperil fishermen and swimmers
simply because they are not yet competent
to handle their powerful craft.
The problems can be solved. All over the
country, enforcement of boating rules is be-
coming stricter from year to year. There is
growing realization that the old days when
the boatman was more or less a law unto
himself have passed. The sooner the boat
men themselves realize this, the sooner they
acknowledge the rights of others and act ac-
cordingly, the better it will be for all con-
cerned.

ONCE THE Dixie is BROKEN

spokesman for the Council of State
Chambers of Commerce recently appeared be-
fore House Subcommittee and gave testi-
mony in opposition to the proposal to extend
the federal wage-hour law to retailing and
to certain other service businesses which have
always been exempt. And certain points he
made are points which are apt to be overlook
ed by many of us in considering the effects of
extension.
He said: "Any extension of coverage of
the Fair Labor Standards Act would involve
a basic change in our concept of interstate
commerce. Any such fundamental change
must be viewed with alarm for, once the dixie
is broken, there is no limit to the regulation
and control over local business which the
Federal Government could and would exert
Retailing and the service trades are local
business They serve relatively small local
area. Every store takes merchandise from the
stream of commerce and makes it available
to it's local customers. 1t matters not how
large the store may be, nor whether it is af-
filiated with other store units by ownership
or voluntary affiliation, nor is the local char
acter of any store affected by whether mer-
chandise it offers for local resale is purchas-
ed from Out-of-State, from an in-state whole
saler or jobber or any other source or chan
mel. Every store serves small local commun-
ity."
This statement underlines the big point
1t is not whether wage-hour regulation is
needed in retailing-if it is, the states can
attend to that, as a number have. It is whe-
ther we are to throw state and local rights
and responsibilities out of the window, and
give all power into the hands of the federal
government and its bureaucracy.

calls "a Clinical Look at

CHILDREN AND READING
Fairy Tales And
Modern Day Fantasies

Our children possess a
gift that most of us have
let slip by-IMAGINA-
TION. They can indulge
this gift to their hearts
desire in the great wealth of
imaginative books that are
available today for children.
WHEN YOU SPEAK of
fairy tales it doesn't neceSsar-
lily mean Cinderella or The
Princess and the Pea. There
are present day fantasies that
will appeal to even the most
reluctant reader. The child
who by-passes these will miss
many an hour of reading fun.
Undoubtedly a few Of these
will become classics of the
future.
FOLK TALES are becoming
increasingly popular, espec.
tally with the boys. Pecos
Bill and Paul Bunyan are but
two of the characters with
universal appeal.
In the field of the tradition
al fairy tale, as we remember
them, an interesting develop
ment is showing itself. Some
publishers are now putting
out volumes that contain eth
err one or a very limited NUM-
Der of tales. This is in well
come contrast to most of the
older volumes that contain
numerous tales generally
done in very small print with
few illustrations. Some of
these simply look too difficult
and tend to discourage all but
the most avid readers. Con-
sequently, many children miss
out on the fun of the fairy
tales as we remember them.
These new editions enable
the publisher to make advan-
tageous use of larger type and
more numerous illustrations.
This use of pictures adds
greatly to the beauty, spirit
and enjoyment of all of the
old tales. Few, if any, of the
tales will suffer by this new
treatment. Almost all of
these new editions, that we
have had the opportunity to
examine, have been done UNI
der the guidance of a compe-
tent and talented reteller or
compiler. They have manag-
ed to retain the true spirit of
the tales as they were orig
inally told.
MOST OF THESE can be
used to read aloud as well.
Try to borrow some of the
following from your library
or bookmobile.
