DID YOU HAVE A PARTY?
If you have a party and would
like to see it mentioned in the
paper; if you have a visitor who
should receive some notice; if
you are making a trip, or have
returned from one; if your
friend is ill or in the hospital;
in short, if you have any news,
why not give us a ring and tell
us about it?
We want to print the news,
but we don’t know what you are
doing unless you toll us.
You do the telling, we’ll do
the writing, and we will all do
the reading.

When mothers hear atyout ju
venile delinquency, about mis
deeds, or depredations of boys
in a community, each one im
mediately disclaims any possi
bility that her boy could have
had any part in it. At the same
time, there is a catch in her sec
ret heart, and she wonders ifj
; her own boy could have been
| part of a bunch, could have been
■ influenced by other boys to do
I something wrong. I know, be
! cause I am a mother, a mother
I of boys. Although they are
i grown now, I still feel a twinge
' of worry occasionally upon hear
j ing of trouble among young men.
Trust my boy? Of course, but
can 1 trust him to keep his head
if he is out with a group who,
are thoughtless of their behavior?
that is motherlike.
This column suggested once'
i that parents are becoming delin
| quent, rather than the children.
We received a lot of indignant
criticism on that statement. But,
friends, it is time to take stock
of ourselves again. There have
been increasing reports of bad
behavior in the town. We have
not published any accounts of
police trouble with teen age
boys. The Police Department has
made.very few’ arrests, and those
have been only after repeated
warnings. No one wants to see
a young man start his adult life
with a police record that will
follow him forever. Consequent
ly, it may be that we have
shielded our young people too
much. We have made it too easy
to commit misdemeanors and
get away with it.
We have spent a great deal of
money on our school building.
There is much more to be done
there. We are paying for it every
day, with everything we buy.
Not one of us as parents would
allow our children to deface
walls, break windows, force
locks or tamper with expensive
electric equipment in the home
Yet someone is doing it in the
school. It may not be the chil
dren. Let us hope it is not. May
be it is being done by malicious
hoodlums who are past school
age. Nevertheless there is van
dalism or sabotage of some sort
going on about that school build
ing, and it is up to us to find
out who is at fault and stop it
before the whole thing becomes
a police problem, and the pub
licity becomes distressing to any
one of us.
This is pretty plain talk from
the Cradle Rocker, and a mother,
but I cannot apologize for speak
ing plainly. There are times
when it is necessary, and this is
one of them.
Walter W. Sipprell returned
last Thursday from Anchorage
where he had spent the previous
ten days while undergoing eye
surgery.
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Boos left
on the Baranof last Friday for
Ketchikan. Mr. Boos was in
charge of pile driving operations
on the Standard Oil Company
dock this summer, and also
drove the piling for the Mile 18
bridge.
