ftPEttlN'G of a weekly teen-age canteen for boys and irirls
V of Roseburg high school is scheduled for Friday night of
this week, Aileen Peterson, director of the Roseburg recrea
tional program reports. Authority has been secured for use
or the lower floor arid one side room at the Roseburg armory,
where it Is proposed to stage supervised weekly dances, to
gether with games and quiet recreation for non-dancers.
Public contributions to assist id setting up and furnishing
the game room are being requested
Some people frown on planned and supervised recreation
for youth groups. Recently we read an article in which the
author declared the "coddling" being given modern youth
under the guisd of correcting juvenile delinquency was pro
ducing a generation of "softies." We can remember when
not too long ago, some Germans and Japs had the idea Young
America was "soft." We imagine they have changed their
minds by this time.
The writer held the theory that young people are being
given too much public attention; that, like the baby which
learns it can, be taken out of its crib and petted if it cries
long enough and loud enough, youth, given so much public
concern, becomes impressed with its own importance and is
thereby "spoiled." ;
Maybe so, but it sounds like a lot of horsefeathers to us.
These are not normal times. Young people are denied
many forms of recreation they would be enjoying if it were
hot for the war. Parents are busy,
In many homes the father and mother are employed
throughout the day. The mother probably would not be
working except for the war. But under existing circum
stances they conie home tired from a day of toil, lacking en
ergy for the family entertainment in which they would en
gage ordinarily. There are fewer church functions for young
people. THere are fewer parties In private homes.
Young people are gregarious. They must congregate in
small or large groups or gangs. They are full of energy.
They crave fun. In these unstable times there is also a sub
conscious desire for emotional excitement and danger. Read
ing in newspapers and magazines of deeds of bravery, and
listening to radio programs exalting heroics, the normal
young jjerson, particularly boys who expect soon to be in
uniform, daydream of themselves as bemedalled heroes.
In some of the weak-willed, inferiority-complexed young
sters this emotional stimulation results in delinquency, such
as the fad for shoplifting. The papers are filled today I
with crimes by youth, automobile thefts, petty larceny, bur
glary, extortion and even murder.
Yet the boys and girls in our high schools are perform
ing marvelously in war work. Without their manpower our
nation-wide salvage campaign would collapse completely. I
They sell nit astonishing amount of war bonds. School bands, !
dram corps and strutters are on immediate call formally kind!
of civic rally or program.
Certainly youths with that kind of spunk deserve some
eward, and no better reward can be given, in our opinion,
than to supply their needs for. recreation and entertainment.
Roseburg has an organized recreational program, red-
ral assistance has been given, because it is recognized that
communities swollen by populations gained through essen
tial industry are unable, in most case3, to finance such ac
tivities without outside aid.
Mrs. Peterson has been doing a fine work in organizing
athletics for adult and youth groups. Hobby classes are prov
ing very successful. She has now worked out plans for a
weekly get-to-gcther for boys and girls of high school age-
She has funds for all purposes except furnishings. She needs
money with which to provide tables, chairs, lamps, etc., for a
game room and lounge. Civic clubs have been asked to help,
but probably some individuals would also like to join in spon
sorship.
ram. Vour contribution, left at the Roseburg chamber ol
commerce office, or mailed to Mrs. Aileen Peterson at that
address, would be greatly appreciated.

DIAL-LOG
By SUSAN ' '
. .Your - favorite . commentator,
Fulton Lewis, Jr., is the latest
correspondent to succumb to the
lure of a trip to the battlefields.
Just where he is at present, we
can't tell you (we don't know),
but you'U soon be hearing him
from France and perhaps frbm
London and Rome. When the
shortwave broadcasts don't come
through, Fred Morrison, who is
head of the news-gathering staff,
will be standing by to pinch hit.
It looks like Mr. Lewis is taking
time by the forelock this time
and Is going to be in on the
ground floor for any major news
breaks. He is the one, you know,
who always goes vacationing just
before a red-hot story breaks and
has to come rushing back to
work. Maybe by the time you
read this, you will have heard his
first overseas broadcast, so it
won't be news.

you, it's Music You Remember at
