Each year the noise becomes greater and there seems to be no law of any kind to prevent or prohibit it, so we suffer on day by day unable to do anything to put a stop to it.

Dunn Resident Helps Girls Play Baseball by Steve Varley In response to the age old problem of never getting to play baseball with the boys, "that's a man's sport," the girls are getting together and forming their own team. The team, under the leadership of Pat Ray and the instruction of Fran Rasmussen, is progressing from the basics of playing ball to actually forming their own team and challenging other teams. The seven to sixteen year olds number around 20 right now but more are turning out each Monday evening when the team meets at Jordan Park. When asked why she got the team started, Mrs. Ray said, "If more people paid attention to the youth today, you'd be surprised at what you'd see. There's nothing wrong with the kids, some parents just don't care. So instead of writing letters to have the laws increased, why not spend time with your kids and just see what happens to delinquency." ''There aren't many delinquent kids today, its delinquent parents that cause the problems," says Mrs. Ray, active member of the Model Cities Crime and Delinquency Force. Task Pat Ray |
