YOUTH LEADERS SEEK HELP
Shakespeare Had the Right Words
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Adults are very sympathetic toward youth activities but
apparently are not willing to sacrifice personal time or
energy to assist. Such is the complaint of a group or teen
agers endeavoring to set up a Youth Center in Roseburg,
We have been visited several times by a delegation of
youth leaders striving to perfect an organization.
Pep and enthusiasm marked their first appearance in
our office. Their last visit was expressive of disappoint
ment, gloom and disillusionment.
At every turn they had met with commendation for their
efforts, but no actual help was forthcoming and no indi
vidual aid could be obtained. The quarters they had expected
to use had been leased. They could find no adults willing to
give time to chaperonage. No one had the time to serve as s
member of an adult council. No financial sponsors were
obtainable.
The program is well organized.
Leaders have in circulation membership rosters on which
teen-agers are pledging support and cooperation. Tentative
program outlines are prepared, together with prospective
constitution, by-laws, governing rules and regulations, etc.
all admirably done.
The plan In mind Is to organize a Youth Center and to
find quarters to be developed for use as a clubhouse. Adult
leadership is available for various activities gymnastics,
band, orchestra, dance instruction, hobby classes, etc. Once-a-week
dances are planned throughout the school year.
The group will be largely self-supporting, but will need
some financial aid, particularly an adult council to under
write Initial expenses, to approve the organizational set-up,
and supervise activities. Adult chaperonage is desired after
noons and evenings throughout each week. If it becomes
necessary to rent or lease quarters, as is anticipated, the
youth group will need financial aid in such expense.
It Is proposed by the group leaders that the club be made
the nucleus for Y.M.C.A. development.
The delegation visiting this office reported contacts with
city police officials, ministers, heads of various fraternal
orders and civic clubs.
"We found everyone promising support," said the spokes
man, "but we haven't been able to find anyone willing to
give us some time and personal help."
The spokesman went on to report that tentative arrange
ments had been made for a location, but that the basement
room had since been leased for commercial purposes; that
the town had been thoroughly explored for another pros
pective club site but that nothing suitable had been found.
"I guess," he said, "that we'll have to wait. until the
Y.M.C.A. builds a building. I should live so long!"
We believe everyone will sympathize with the promotional
effort in progress by this group of young people, and with
their disappointments. They can go only so far without
adult assistance, and they seem to have about reached the
end of their rope, "unless needed help is forthcoming.
Hoscburg's crowded condition makes adequate quarters
difficult to obtain. We believe the problems of sponsorship
and chaperonage can be solved. We will be disappointed if
some adult organization fails to come forward with a volun
tary offer to take over the sponsorship duties.
Perhaps someone has Ideas concerning where quarters can
be found. The young people are willing to undertake the
work of repairs, painting, furnishing, etc.
We will be glad to put persons having suggestions or
offers in touch with the leaders of the teen-age group.

one day on a big fishing barge

mackerel about 15 feet below the
surface of sapphire-blue Catalina

for some queer reason, seemed to
deliberately lift the fish right out

skipper for "losing" hli fish!
This performance was repeated
three times: the third time the

skipper's courteous acceptance of

DETROIT. Sept. 7. (.Pi
The new model work ahead is not
likely to close down anv of the
auto plants for extended periods.
Certainly prolonged shutdowns
aren't needed to change models.
This has been demonstrated in
the switch overs already made to
lfi.V) cars. Studebaker, with radi
cal style changes, halted its as
sembly lines for only a week.
Buirk brought out a wholly
new model without interrupting
its output. Nash took three weeks
to switch over to units, but
could have done it in less lime.
Other car makers yet to change
;over probably will do It in less
than two weeks, even where out
standing changes are planned.
This means, of course, that the
auto makers are moi-e concenfed
about competition than they have
been at any time since the war.
New car order have become In
creasingly important to manufac
turers of all makes of cars.
Switchover Pushed
So the switch overs generally
will be made with a minimum of
delay.

motives were probably of the best.
Maybe you wanted to start a radio
station, and In order to do so you
had to have a government per
mit. Maybe you were a city or a
county official and you wanted
some government money to build
roads or a new schoolhouse or a
city hall. For any (or all) of these
things, you had to have govern
ment permission.
THIS la the point:
Maybe you weren't familiar
with Washington's ways, and
when you were dumped down in
thei swarming ant-hill that was
and is Washington you were ter
rified by the Immensity of the
maze that confronted you.
Maybe you didn't even know
that a large part of your con
gressman's or your senator's Job
is to show you around in Washing
ton and put you in touch with the
people you want to see and gen
erally get you onto the ropes. It
has been truly amazing how many
people don't know that.
(Or maybe you had a feud on
with your congressman or your
senator. Maybe you had worked
against him in his last campaign
and felt embarrassed about going
around to ask his help.)
All of these things had a part
in the origins of this five-percenter
business.

and your business in Washing

LETS get this straight about the
five-percenters:
Their methods were generally
honest and open. In the main,
they merely nerved as guides In
a trackless wilderness which is
what Washington was back In
those days. A guide w ho gets you

you want to go is worth his hire.

Young Man To Start Rival
Market To Wall Street By
Tapping Small Investors
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (.W A 26-year-old
ex-air force sergeant ha set
out to become the new boy won
der of Wall Street.
Robert M. Tanney he said his
middle initial "doesn't stand for
Midas" opened a stock market
office of his own today. Thereby,
he believes, he became the na
tion's youngest independent brok
er. As yet he hasn't tried to buy a
seat on the curb exchange (cost:
about $6,000) nor the Stock Ex
change laround $10,000). But they
are his next goals.
"I am primarily going after
the working and middle classes
for business rather than the top
executives," he said.
"You don't have to be a Mor
gan or a DuPont to own stocks."
Sound Investment
His idea to ring the doorbell of
the common man and convince
him that buying common stock
in sound American industries is
today's best invest ment bet. He
plans a staff of 40 salesmen to
wage a door-to-door selling cam
paign. He already has hired four.
Tannev. who has been buying;
and selling stocks since he was
11, think lhat one of the bigge.U
things wrong with Wall Street
that too many stock salesmen
merely wait for investors to
phone them.
'The older men rather resent
the younger generation coming
in." he said. "1 know some young
men who are making $350 to $500
a week selling securities because
they go after new business.
"And I know some oldtime cus
tomers' men who earn only $J0
to $25 a week because they sit in
their offices and do nothing. They
put up a big front, but they eat
two-bit lunches. And they have to
be careful how they cross then
legs or else the hole in their
shoe will show."
But Tanney thinks Wall Street
has a sound future even though
the flow of risk capital today is
slow.
Plenty of Cash
"It'll pick up." he said.
"There's plenty of cash around,
and banks aren't paying more
than 3 percent. The public knows
very, very little about securities.
They need to be educated to
the fact there are good stocks
available now that pay from 10
to 13 percent."
Tanney plans to specialize i;i
marketing such high-yield secur
ities, and intends to sell them to
low-income people on an allot
ment basis, if necessary. In Ihe
same way the government sold
its wartime bonds.
The best way to accumulate
wealth," he aid, "i to buy large
block of low-priced stocks in op
erating companies that arent
marginal companies that won't
go under in a depression.
"In a bull market these stocks
will make you many times the
money that higher priced stocks
will."
Problem to Pick
The problem ia to pick them.
Tanney, who had to trade
through his father account until
he himself was of legal age,
thinks his judgment Is as sound
as anybody's.
"The first block I ever bought
was some railroad shares selling
for 12 12 cents a share." he smil
ed. 'When they got to $50 a shaie
1 1 unloaded.
Not bad for a boy in grammar
school. Some grownups don't do
i as well on horseraces.
Tanney's boyhood idol was the
late Jesse Livermore, most fi
mous "boy wonder of Wall
Street." And he'd like to emulaie
his career up to a point. Liver

1915. He made and lost three
more fortunes, then shot himself
to death in 1910 at the age of -.
"His mistake was overspecula
tion." said Tanney. "He Just out
manipulated himself. There is i
saying in Wall Street that bears

money, but anybody who goes
whole hog winds up with nothing."
