On Juvenile Delinquency To the Editor: Being a teen-ager, I have heard many times from adults, "In my time children were seen, not heard." Well, ask these peo ple if they did not resent this. I will wager they did. What people have trouble realizing is the fact the chil dren are human beings too. They should try and think a little before they start pun ishing their children. If adults would try to talk to their children, try to understand the child's point of view, and if it is completely wrong, ex plain before they take action, a child will remember much more if he is told why he is not to do something. He feels he is being treated like a man. and he will then respect his parents. The much used system of screaming and unnecessary beatings when a child does something wronii, will result in only fear of the parent and later hatred. If a child is told and still continues to do some thing wrong, then it is the lime for more drastic actions, but if he has never been told not to do it, it is ppitively ridiculous to punish him A human being is a very complex thing. It is born with all the capabilities in the world. It is born with very few ideas of its own. Just those of breathing, moving, eating, and a great capability to learn. It is -up to you, the parent, the neighbor, the aunt, the uncle to teach this child. A child is what he is made. As far as juvenile de linquency goes, no child brought up in a happy, whole some, and clean environment will go wrong. He is yours, to teach, to form, but if you are not careful, he will be yours to ruin. It takes much time, patience, and understanding to bring up a child. In regards In Mr. St i He, (Communications, M.M. Trib une, July IS) I say this. I do not believe that religion is ever going to solve the world's problems. I believe that religion, along with understanding one another and plain old common sense will do more for the human race than an over dose of re ligion or anything else Reli gion is good, in its place, and in its own field. We iinners of today wouldn't daru pray for miracles s: we must no it ourselves Gaining strength from the Bible is fine, but when people bcnin to use it as a crutch, it is get'ing out of hand. In relation to juveniie de linquency. I believe that some religion is good. But you try to force a child to live noth ing but the Bible and you will ruin him. This, if asked, I could prove with exampls-s. To prevent juvenile delin quency, adults are going to have to remember that chil dren are junior members of the human race and are en titled to the rights of opinion, freedom, and of mistake. Try to understand them, treat them decently and you will win their respect and love. You owe them a decent chance in the world you have brought them into, give it to them. Wayne Howard Route 2. Box 39, Jacksonville, Ore. Given No Right To the Editor: In answer to Mr. Clarence M. Crews (M.T. July 15) who disagreed with Mr. Stille's most excellent let ter of July B on the Supreme Court "Prayer" Decision, may I point out in a friendly man ner that the Constitution of the United States gives the Federal Governmenl absolute ly no righls or duties what ever in the field of public education. Article 10 of the Bill of Rights states emphatically: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Con stitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved lo the States respectively, or to the people." These words spell it out plainly and forcefully. So does Article 1 of the Bill of Rights when it says. "Con gress shall make no law re specting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Yet our Federal Supreme Court has had the colossal gall and unbelievable arrogance tn step into New York State's educational system where it has no jurisdiction and pro pound a decision that creates a law by judicial fiat pro hibiting the recitation of a simple non-sectarian prayer by school children. What un constitutional authority re garding religion will this body of men usurp next? Watch for them to use the "Prayer Decision" as a precedent to hand down a whole series of decisions outlawing everv trace of religious ceremony. all reference to and teaching about religion, and all recog nition of God from our schools. Bear in mind that a power ful Communist Criminal Con spiracy to force anti-Christ Atheism, and eventually Com munism, itself, on our nation has been gaining momentum ever since we foolishly recog nized Soviet Russia in 1933. Many Christian patriots know this all too well. Even many uninformed Christian Ameri cans sense the danger here, especially since our Supreme Court's incredible pro-Com-munist voting record has he come common knowledge. De cisions handed down on Red Monday after Red Monday have been so destructive to our Christian based Constitu tion and the American way of life that the above men tioned Supreme Court voting record is "must" reading for every concerned citizen in America.

I have remembered when the winter came, High in my chamber in the frosty nights. When in the still light of the cheerful moon, On every twig and rail and jutting spout. The icy spears were adding to their length Against the arrows of the coming sun. How in the shimmering noon of summer past Some unrecorded beam slanted across The upland pastures where the Jnhnswnrt grew; Or heard, amid the verdure of my mind. The bee's long smothered hum. on the blue flag Loitering amidst the mead; or busy rill. Which now through all its course stands still and dumb lis own memorial - purling at its play Along the slopes, and through the meadows next, Until its youthful sound was hu.hed at last In the staid current of the lowland stream: Or seen the furrows shine hut late upturned. And where the fieldfare followed in the rear, When all the fields around lay hound and hoar Beneath a thick inleaumenl of snow. So by God's cheap economy madp rich To go upon my winter's task again. -Henry David Thoreau 0 The Gift One said to me. "While time is passing by. And duties of the hour press hard and fast, Let's not forget to seek each day the joy That once was promised us by One long since " He did his work rejoicingly through stress and storm; Misunderstanding, scorn and piercing crown Beset his early path, and yet at night When his beloved disciples gathered round. On quiet hillside or in garden fair, He spoke to them of joy and peace and love, And put behind the trials of the day. The years have grown since he has been on rarlh, And yet his message comes as clear to-day To those who listen for the voice within: Could words be sweeter to a troubled l earl "My peare I leave with you" the silt is ours. - Blanrhe F.lli Norvell The Manor, Medford. r - The Gl'ilten'i Dilemma O how I love to sit and eat Hors-d'oeuvres and soup and fish and mat With vegetables, then a sweet: 0 what a treat: But as I gaze upon my plate 1 know it is my hapless fate, tating, to do the thing I hate, To put on weight !

Strong Horse Feathers To the Editor: The vener able town of Jacksonville is visited by thousands of tour ists who love the scenic old buildings, museums and the stagecoach rides. When horses came back the t natives found some horse ma- nurc on the road sides and i became violently nauseated. Yes siree, them 'ere civic minded 'humanbeans' almost kicked up a dust storm about the "which" and "why" of it. I knew all the time it wuz the horses' fault. Mr. Ed would have owned up lo his share in it at once, but. them 'ere J'ville nags can't stick up for themselves, so I writ their apology for them In the Sentinal. I've been asked In lell Ihe M M.

Yah. in Jacksonville! Since that village wants to retain its antiquity, why furse? I saw horse manure all about on the streets of ol' New York City 'way back when. It looked better than car oil, too. Sure, I'm prejudiced; I love horses. Horse manure 'd re mind sightseers of good ol' horse an' buggy days. I wouldn't be surprised iffen some good gentile old timer steps ouleen Georce's stage coach and wraps some of the precious fertilizer in foil tn keep in remembrance of thai quaint old mining town.
