Of This and That
By B^THA DIGREE
Thursday evening of last week
we attended a meeting of seven
teen iocai residents who are inter
ested in tile welfare and future of
the young people of Kodiak.
The meeting was held at the
home of Phil and Doris Anderson
on Mill 3ay Road. These people,
some of them with no children oi
their own. are giving much time
and effort toward establishing a
youth cental-, with land and a build
ing that will serve as a meeting
place for the boys and girls . . . a
place where they can dance, play
ping pong, indoor tennis and per
haps learn to work on arts and
crafts. ... A youth club has al
ready been formed which has more
than 4C members at present.
Dances are being held at the VFW
Club on Friday evenings. These
dances have been supervised by
members of the adult group and all
reports indicate the young people
are deeply appreciative of the use
of the club even though the space
and facilities are limited.
The youngsters have set up a
Junior Council and have their own
constitution and by-laws. ... A
Senior Council was elected at the
1 ^
meeting Thursday to work with the
Junior Council and assist in any
way possible. Elected were Dan
Steadman, chairman; Ed Naugh
ton, secretary; Phil Anderson, rep
resentative and publicity; Doris
Anderson, treasurer . . The Sen
or Council will meet on the 2nd
Tuesday of each month, with spe
cial meetings if necessary ... A
committee was appointed to at
tempt M secure land suitable for
i buildin and that committee has
already gone into action.
Some ’umber lias been promised,
and electrical work will be do
nated.\ possible camp-out site
on Long Island has been offered
ail this from the group meet
ng Thursday.
There are many young people in
Kodiak who are nice, sensible boys
and girls, who are willing to try to
find their own amusement, but
they need advice and assistance of
older people. . These youngsters
deserve all the help they can get
from the community. . . . They are
getting some help from the Senior
Council and a few others. . . . Sure
ly more parents should be eager
to do their part toward helping
Their children have a decent place
to meet, to enjoy their hobbies in
a wholesome way under super
vision. . These young people are
the citizens of the near future and

are worthy of guidance and as
sistance . . . given that guidance,
we feel certain they will take pride
in a building of their own, and in
becoming the kind of people of
whom Kodiak can be proud. . . .
We all know what can happen be
cause parents are “too busy.-’ too
selfish, and too lazy mentally and
physically to care what their chil
dren do or become. . . . The ~ecent
death of one young girl should
make more parents aware of the
tragic possibilities. . . We wonder,
tho. if they will truly awaken.
To those who do care, and are
doing what they can, such as the
group that met last week (some
have met many times, taking time
out from their own busy lives) we
offer congratulations. . . . They are
trying to do something truly worth
while with no desire for personal
glory or publicity. . . We heartily
commend these wonderful people
and sincerely hope many others
will join in the work already be
gun.
Congratulations to the young
people, too. for their efforts. Keep
on trying!
