It is sponsored by the Woodburn Police Department, under the direction of Police Chief Robert J. Prinslow. Many of the recreation facilities were donated by citizens and organ izations of the community. The center was decorated by members of the police department with the help of many local teenagers. On the wall, in the back of the center, is a poem. It comes from the sheriff of Marion County, Indiana. We think it sums up many things about teenagers, and hope you en joy reading it. e l j e f e de p o l i c í a d e l c o n d a d o de M a ri ón e n I n d i a n a .

An "off the wall" poem from the Woodburn Youth Center We read in the papers, we hear on the air Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere. We sigh and we say, as we notice The trend This young generation, where w ill it end? - But can we be sure that it's their fault alone? ai o That maybe a part of it might be our own. Too much money to spend, too much idle time. Too many movies of passion and crime. Too many books not fit to be read. Too much evil in what they said. Too many children encouraged to roam. By too many parents who won't stay at home. Youth don't make the movies, they don't write the books That paint the gay picture of gangsters and crooks. They don't make the liquor, they don't run the bars. 'UPWARD BOUND' PROVIDES GREAT EXPERIENCE By Bob Wynia They don't make the laws, and they don't make the cars. They don't make the drugs that idle the brain, More young people are getting ready to go to college. Many of our readers remember how "Upward Bound" helped Emma Perez, Joe Sifuentes, John Berrara and Frank Garcia start college. They have all finished one year at the University of Oregon. Now some others have the same chance. Más jovenes se preparan para asistir a la universidad. Muchas de nuestros lectores se recordarán como el programa "Upward Bound" ayudó a Emma Perez, Joe Sifuentes, John Berrara y Frank García prin cipiar el curso universitario. Todos han terminado un año en la Uni versidad de Oregon. Ahora otros tienen la misma oportunidad. People came from the University on June 7 to talk to interested stu dents. Soon they w ill know if they get to go. Unas personas vinieron de la Universidad el 7 de junio para hablar a los estudiantes interesados. Pronto sabrán so podrán asistir. The Valley Migrant League needs your help! Our day care pro gram is in need of 150 cribs and cots this summer. We also need sheets and mattresses (porta crib size) for the cribs. Can you help? The students who are chosen w ill go to school all summer This w ill help them get ready for college classes. In September some of the students may take college classes. They may continue to "get ready" for awhile longer, if they need it. Los estudiantes escogidos asis tirán a la escuela todo el verano. Esto les ayudará prepararse para las clases universitarias. En septiembre, unos estundiantes podrán inscribirse en clases universitarias y otros pueden seguir preparándose si lo necesitan. If you have any old sheets or mattresses let us know at once. The mattresses should be 27" wide by 42" long and 2" deep. Sheets should be about 52" wide by 65" long. The students w ill all have lots of time to study. There w ill be plenty of teachers to help them. Los estudiantes tendrán mucho tiempo para estudiar. Habrá sufi cientes profesores para ayudarles. They w ill all say just what Emma, John, Frank and Joe told us, "This has been a great experience for us." Todos dirán como nos dijeron Emma, Juan, Paco y Josó, "Esta ha sido una gran experiencia para nosotros." it's all done by older folks, greedy for gain. And how many cases we find that it's true, The label "Delinquency" fits older folks too. DO YOU CARE TO CONTRIBUTE DAY CARE EQUIPMENT?
