EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1954
Congregational
Has Sermon On
Worth of Man
Good Friday Soon;
Churches Ready
Boys Will Be. . . Men
In recent years the old but not honor
able practice of hazing has been giving way
in many colleges to community service
projects. The latest example is furnished
by 30 Columbia University fraternity men
who turned the traditional "Hell Week"
into a "Help Week" enterprise of painting
and redecorating Ihe Manhattanville Neigh
borhood Center.
This turning of youthful energies into
constructive channels has meaning beyond
the limits of college fraternities. How much
of the malicious mischief of . teen-age gangs
is simply the result of high spirits on the
loose, of a vitality unmatched by ideas, of
an urge to action against a background of
boredom?
When the Boston police over the Wash
ington's Birthday weekend arrested 19
members of juvenile gangs for various
house breaks and thefts, one of the youths
(From The Christian Science Monitor)
commented airily: "We didn't have any
thing to do, so we decided to have some
fun." In neighboring Worcester that same
weekend 75 teen-agers, under the sponsor
ship of Worcester District Methodist Youth
Fellowship, scrubbed floors and windows
in charitable institutions and mended
broken toys in hospitals and orphanages.
They "had fun" without regrets.
This is old stuff to those who concern
themselves with the problems of juvenile
delinquency, but too many citizens lack
awareness of the untapped resources of
idealism in youth which can be brought
into play by the right sort of leadership.
Those fraternity men who choose to wield
the paintbrush instead of the paddle should
be better equipped to furnish such leader
ship than the indulgent shruggers of shoul
ders who say, "Boys will be boys." Boys,
after all, must one day be men.

Troubles in Toy land for Russia
(From The Christian Science Monitor)
A letter published in the Young Com
munist paper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, com
plains of the quality of Soviet toys. Many
dolls have their heads fastened on with
crude pegs, and "every now and then, to
the child's horror, the doll's head drops
off." (Just like Beria's?) And the toy furni
ture soon begins to fall apart. (Like morale
in a kolkhoz?) And the paint peels off
bright-colored balls. (Like the glamour off
Communist promises?)
Komsomolskaya Pravda verifies the com
plaint with its own researches and illus
trates the article with several humorous
drawings. One of these depicts a Russian
mother pointing at a toy shop window full
of atrocities and saying to her child, "Be
have yourself now, or I'll buy you a toy!"
Before capitalist mothers preen them
selves on the superior quality of their own
children's playthings they had bettor take
stock of the youngsters' arsenal of toys
and we use the word arsenal advisedly. The
workmanship will be found far superior,
we are sure, but the character of the toys
may be less reassuring. Popular numbers
in the American nursery range all the way
from the old-fashioned six-shooter to the
latest in death-ray machines.
Though dolls' heads roll in Russia, must
youth shoot its way to maturity in the
United States?
