WAKE UP, YOU PARENTSj
Dillingham needs a Vigilance Committee
to patrol the bushes and dark corners on
dance nights to "strike down” these men
who are enticing our teenage girls to
PRINK with them under the guise of friend*
shipl
These men (some married) have left a
trail behind them as they have been liber
elly discussed among tho teenage circles.
Fhat they must be over-looking is that they
r2-3 flirting with a possible prison sen
tence c.s tTieir peculiar type of ”fun” is
the crime of "contributing to the delin
quency of a minor" and strictly interpeted
by the Alaskan statutes.
Just to give a minor a drink of beer or
liquor is against the law! Be this minor
p. boy or girl makes no difference. Exten
uating circumstances are considered but
punishment is still borne BY TEE ADULT
offender.
Parents of.Dillingham, you better get
interested before you wake up to find you
hare LOST a doughter. This is serious bus
iness. And you men who are encouraging
this evil to premeate the lives of our
youngsters, better stop. The eye of the
community is upon some of you and the
rest can easily be discovered by a effb rt
in that direction.
Surely our teenage kids should be able
to step out to the only public dance hall
in town without the fear of pollution!
And, I, as a parent, say it is these bad
influences that should be eliminatod...
surely there is not much for the kids to
do in the way of recroa^on and the danc
ing they love should not be banned.
Think this overt Talk this overt It
concerns all of us.
