Help Yourself Buy War Bonds What Readers Think - Editor, Bear River Valley h Leader, rlORNER I I I fl!'TyL CREDIT FOR. WAR PRODUCTION and All of you nature-lover- s too silent been have sportemen wild of affair this regardinglong game management. No doubt you have expected the Wild Life Federation to do a good job, but look at their record. They concur with the stockmen and have allowed four consecutive open seasons on both sexes of deer and elk. Those animals are nearly ex tinct and there should be closed seasons to give them a chance to get back. Instead of that it is proposed to hold a slaughter in early winter and do it on the winter range. To do any such disgusting thing will wind up the remnant of big game. The state officials in their eagerness to sell permits always infer there are ten times as many deer and elk as there really are. This results in ten hunters for every deer. The successful ones parade around city streets with the carcass on exhibition, have pictures taken and they consider themselves quite the heros. The other hunters, who fail to connect after wasting 10 days of percious time, go and get a bottle, or bottles to bolster up their courage to explain to friend wife about losing their job by being away so long. This affair of turning a horde of meat hunters loose upon the "winter range will result in part of the deer making a break back to the high ground where they flounder in deep snow and are scared to return. The others make a dash toward the town., where they kill themselves in wire fences, and if any survive, the dogs finish them. No one needs veni son now, everyone has a job and can buy meat. But when all the defense projects are done, then the wild game will be needed for those who are now wasting their substance in riotous living. And another thing, we should keep this hunting for the boys who are away. It's not fair to kill the game while they are away and been neglected. Then go again this winter and you will see that the apples are frozen. They were not worth picking. The deer paw in the snow for leaves and apples, and it's for thifi the deer are to be kiUed. The thing needed most is an organized group like the Isaac Walton league. The record of the Wild Life Federation is not so hot. They do most anything except battle for better fishing and hunting. Not so long ago this W. L. F. held a meeting in Logan Canyon and the main feature was three without any fans. An outfit of this kind can be expected to make whoopee and nothing ele.

Of course crimes occur in peace time but it's a matter of record that they increase sharply in war. Right now, along with their many other distresses, honest people in America are suffering from a crime wave. Those who must do their bit on the home front for victory in World War II have no more deadly enemy to face than a breakdown m the nation's moral fiber. It is hard to see anything good about wars; hard to say anything good about them. Nations trying desperately to defend all that the human family has gained in the last twenty centuries are obliged to view their war as a necessary evil, but an evil just the same. Perhaps the ugliest of war's horrible features is the fact that the winner loses. Nobody actually benefits, and sometimes the conquering country is hurt worst of all.

This deficit is due entirely to the free mail carried lor the many government departments and agencies. The volin the last ten ume of this mail has multiplied five-fol- d estimated that if years. Last year the postal department this free mail had been paid for, it would have brougnu 72 million dollars into its coffers, wiping out the 14 million dollar deficit and leaving a 58 million dollar profit. Thus it is clear that the way to turn the department's loss into gain and eliminate this threat to rates is to revoke the free mailing privilege and require the agencies to pay postage on all mail they send out. Business mail users and private individuals as well can't take part The claim is made that the would suffer from an increase of rates at this time.

OPA announced that: (1) anyone who does not receife his subduing the unruly children of neglectful parents who are now more than half way to the cemetery, but youthful delinquency must not continue to grow if the nation is to survive. America's hope rests in the uprightness and solidarity of families that are younger; of those being formed now. The wisest man of all time said "Righteousness a nation." Psychologists say the character of a man is formed in early childhood. The idea is not new; Solomon emphasized the same point 3,000 years ago. Would-b- e good parents who deny their children discipline are betraying them at the time of greatest need. It is my belief ex-alte- th that schools and colleges do piti- fully little for their students unless they qualify them to establish households where godliness is the standard of conduct. The future greatness of the American people depends upon their cou- rageous acceptance of natural reancestors who "got married sponsibilities.

Under its impact human lives perish and human hopes turn, to ashes. But there is something even worse: hu man souls go to ruin. Desperate people do unthinkable things and, with a spirit of desperation rampant in five continents, crimes have multiplied. However much to be de sired, there was not much reason to expect less crime in war time. Currently, America is said to be the leader in crime. The morals of our own people are sustaining an upheaval. And, in spite of the fact that history teaches us to expect it, the development is hard to under stand. America is making a serious, struggle in a noble cause! Why is this an excuse for wickedness to spread like a plague over an orderly country? Seeking the Cause Looking at the problem through the lens of cold reason, anybody is likely to say, "War and lawlessness are two different things ; neither one causes the other." But is this true? I have been a student of youth rath er than of criminology and I was shocked by the official figures show ing that 15 percent of all murders, 35 percent of all robberies, 50 per cent of all burglaries and 58 percent of all car thefts are being commit ted by people under 21 years old. It is my studied conviction that the tendency of youth to break laws did not increase because America went to war. The tendency of youth is about what it was a year earlier, or jtwo years earlier, but war induced young people to give expression to their rebellious impulses. Now, more than in previous years, young people (in war or at work) are finding themselves in strange surroundings, in disorganized com munities, haunted by disturbing un certainties. Many of them do not have the character to live normal lives in abnormal surroundings. Early Training Poor J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation, lays the blame squarely on the doorstep of the American home, and I think he is right. Of course it is much easier to deplore a situation than it is to correct it: much simpler to prohibit something than to prevent it. Nevertheless an honest size-u- p of a bad state of affairs is certain to help, and Mr. Hoover's analysis is sound. Respect for rightful au thority starts at home, and disre spect for rightful authority is what makes outlaws. Criminals beg'- as impudent, disobedient children Records show that tne divorce 'r'-Iaie 111 is up 500 percent vs irom years ago, also that crime has increased 500 percent in the same time. There is another vagrant statistic that stresses this parallel by showing what a large share of juvenile problems come from broken homes. Whatever such figures may seem to prove comes under the of general classification "spilt milk," but the cold facts are sobering.
