SOME CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
TO JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
By Rev. L. J. KEELS
A nation may boast of its untold wealth in
lands and gold; it may sing of its conquests and
victories; it may pride itself in its great govern-
ment, marvelous inventions, diplomatic relations,
its unconquerable army and navy, but with all
its material store of wealth and influence, its
greatest possessions are the boys and girls who
live within its boundaries.
How very important that these boys and
girl shall be properly prepared for the respon-
sibilities of good citizenship. But how often
many of them fail to reach this position, and
come to be liabilities instead of assets.
Our nation should be much disturbed by
the lawless condition that is sweeping our entire
country. It seems as if law and order have given
way to crime, A distressing thing about it is
that multitudes of boys and girls of adolescent
age, and even of junior age, by some means,
have been initiated into the order which is
responsible for this crime wave.
But who is responsible for this failure? Cer-
tainly not the boys and girls. There are many
forces and influences that contribute to the
making of a delinquent boy or girl. I mention
a few of these.
The home. It is the responsibility of the
home to supply the needs of -the children, and
to properly prepare them for life. But there
are far too many homes in which both parents
are away, a work all day. This not only robs
the children of the close parent-child relation-
ship that is so greatly needed, but it also en-
courages the children to spend their leisure
time away from home, and they soon get in


with the wrong crowd and form the wrong
habits.
Parents hold their children's lives in trust
for the future, and therefore are responsible, to
a large extent, for how they develop and come
to success or failure. There are many homes
where the parents are not Christians and give
i;o thought or time to the Lord or the church.
In such homes the children are not taught the
true principles of right living, neither are they
led to appreciate or profit from the church.
Very often juvenile judges testify that the over-
whelming majority of the boys and girls who
come before them never attend any church
services.
Divorce contributes a strong influence to-
ward juvenile delinquency. In these broken
homes children are denied the love and pro-
tection of parents, and often times are placed
on the mercy of the public.
The commercial moving picture show must
also come in for its big share in creating a de-
linquent condition. There so often scenes are
flashed before the children's eyes that start
many feet in the wrong direction. There little
emphasis is placed on the true home. The sac-
redness of marriage is destroyed, and divorce,
drinking, gambling, immorality, and escaping
the penalty of the law are all popularized. Day
after day as boys and girls absorb such, they
come to accept such conduct as being courageous
and commendable, and begin to do likewise.
Comic books, so often accepted as mere
amusement, are planting many evil thoughts
and creating many bad desires in the minds of
the children. So often the trend tlhere is to do
wrong and get by with it. Such impressions
are sure to lead to wrong conduct.
There are other things and influences that
make their contributions toward leading the
children in the wrong direction. Therefore, for
the sake of these boys and girls, let us be con-
cerned about any unwholesome influence and
do anything within our power to remedy it. The
greatest contribution we can make to humanity
is to build into these boys and girls Christian
principles and the art of clean living, that they
may grow up to be a blessing to humanity and
to themselves.

Samuel Smiles said: "To be worth anything
character must be capable of standing firm up-
on its feet in the world of daily.work, tempta-
tion and trial; and able to bear the wear and
tear of actual life. Cloistered virtues do not
count for much."

THEE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF: COUliTY, FLORIDA


FLORIDA MUST GO FORWARD

We can not allow political gravy-train riders to
continue plundering and sapping our economy
if we are to stay abreast of needs and keep
moving forward.

We can not be detoured by the fear spreading
of desperate politicians who, see',.g their
machine swamped by more than 400,000
Odham-Collins votes in the first primary, are
fabricating rumors, deceitful inferences and
even bald lies to save their gravy-train.

LET'S GET THINGS DONE

We must consider our pressing needs for more
schools, good highways, and beer State
institutions to serve Florida's fast-growing
population. Will these things be built by using
millions of dollars to pay-off and enrich
political pals? Or will they be more sure of
early completion with the taxpayer's money
invested honestly and wisely to the maximum
benefit of the whole State?

YOU HAVE THE ANSWER

The answers to those questions are obvious,
but do you know that you and other thinking,
independent citizens like you hold the answers
in their votes? But no matter what you think;
if you don't vote, your thoughts don't count.
Make your thinking count at the polls and urge
your friends to go and vote to carry Florida
Forward with Collins.

The Causes of Juvenile e inquency



or "The Indifference of Adults"


By Reo. FRED L. DAVIS
This is a day when we hear inore about
juvenile delinquency than ever before. There
are some who say that the subject is greatly
exaggerated. They are of the opinion that there
:s no more delinquency among the children and
youth of our land than there has been in suc-
ceeding generations. However, the records of
the courts of our land wiP refute this opinion.
We admit that our larger cities in which there
are large slum areas have more than their right-
ful share of crime among the children and youth.
These areas seem to be natural breeding places
of crime. All of our towns and communities,
however, have this problem to a certain degree.
We feel that our town of Port St. Joe is far above
the average town in many ways. We have good
schools and churches. We have been told on
good authority that our town has the highest
per capital income of any town or city in the
state of Florida. And yet, we are not exempt
from juvenile delinquency. Therefore, I want
,o mention some of the things that we can do as
individuals and as a community to combat this
condition.
I bring to you first of all the importance of
the home in the training of the child. A child


that comes from a Christian-home stands a much
better chance of making an upright, God-fear-
ing citizen than the child that comes from a bro-
ken or divided home. This is the opinion of the
great majority of those who can be classed as
experts on children and youth. It is natural for
children to copy their parents. Delinquent par-
ents are a forerunner of delinquent sons and
daughters. The home is the place where the
future pattern is set for the child. Parents should
be firm but just in the discipline in the home.
If a child is not controlled in the home he will
not only be a source of grief to his parents in
the future, but also to those who are in places
of authority in the school and in the church.
Let us strive to understand our children and see
things from their point of view. Let us win
their love and confidence. The average child
thinks that mother and dad are the greatest
people in the world. What are you doing to
fulfill your responsibility to your children?
Another factor that seems to be working
wonders in the cure and prevention of juvenile
delinquency is proper recreational facilities. In
various cities of our land lawlessness among the
children and youth hasbeen successfully com-
batted by providing supervised recreation. In
this way many of them are able to work off their


excess energy and direct it into the proper chan-
nels. I am afraid that in our town we are fall-
ing down on the job, at least to a certain extent,
in our failure to provide proper recreational
facilities for our children and youth. It would
enlighten all of us if we would go out some af-
ternoon to our town's one tennis court and see
the boys and girls waiting eagerly for their turn
to play. Some of them stay for hours and never
get to play. Finally, they trudge toward home
with a disgusted and disappointed look on their
faces. This happens over and over again. We
need a minimum of four tennis courts in good
condition. We need badminton, shuffleboard
and various other clean games to help the young
people work off their excess energy. Plans
are being discussed at thepresent time in regard
to building better recreational facilities for the
children and youth of our town and surrounding
communities. Let us all get behind these plans
and work together to bring them to completion.
Our churches of today can also play a great
part in helping to shape the future lives of the
younger generation. ost of our churches have
Sunday school classes a'nd other organizations
for all age groups. A child that has come in
contact with religious teachings in the home and
has been taught to love and reverence the Lord


and His Church has a great advantage over the
child that has come from a non-Christian home.
I hope that none of our children have ever asked
the question of one little girl. Her mother had
never took her to church before. One Sunday
when she took her little daughter to church, the
daughter had a puzzled look on her face as the
minister entered and took his seat. After the
service she asked, "Mother, does the minister
come down from heaven on each Sunday, and
go back again each Sunday night?" We, as
parents, should not send our children to the
services of the church but we should go with
them. Most of our church-goers of today are
those who were taught to go to church as chil-
dren. One of the prominent judges of our
nation said that he had made a study of the
life of many of those who had been' convicted
in his court. He learned that a very small per-
centage of them had ever gone to Sunday school
and church regularly.
Let us as parents, not only provide the ma-
terial things of life for our children, but let us
also provide for their spiritual, mental, and phy-
sical welfare. Let us keep faith with then arid
they will surely keep faith with us.L If we give
them the proper love, care, and attention we
will be proud of them in the years to come.

HEALTH THOUGHTS
Many people wonder why a Chir-
opractor isso interested in the
spine when often the complaint
may be located in the stomach,
kidneys, eyes, legs, etc.
the spine be-
cause it houses
the main chan-
nel of life force
called tie
spinal cord. The
spinal cord may
be likened to the
great trunk of
the tree from which many branches
and sub-branches come forth.
The spinal cord and nervous sys-
Stern comprises the main com-
munication system of your body
carrying messages to and from the
brain to every microscopic cell.
SThen there is an open line, so to
speak that is, when the mes-
sages get through, all is well and
health is abundant providing that
moderation is the keynote of liv-
ing. When there is a block to that
life energy -output it means that
one or more of the bones of the
spine is displaced slightly from its
normal position.
Now you can see why the Chiro-
practor is so vitally interested in
your back and spine. He is scien-
tifically trained to locate and re-
move that block to life energy .
bringing you health and happiness.

lished in the public interest to ex-
