The good things that most people enjoy daily. We are bound to feel the impact of the violent incidents that have crossed our paths in the past few years, but we must not let these outbursts of depredation keep us in the depths of despair, and alter our opinions that America is the greatest land on earth; that the people in the main are the finest, most charitable, generous and kind. Eric Hoffer in his Reflections recently said: Never has youth been face to face with more breathtaking opportunities and more deadly influences. Never before lias character been so decisive a factor in the survival of the young. The road from boyhood to manhood has become sieve-lik- e. Those without the right size of character slip into pitfalls and traps." Daily, each of us is faced with the problem of how best to meet the modern challenges that perplexes us, and with which youth will have to wrestle in the years ahead. However, the bright spots shining on the horizon of our present day living are the statistics and reports that tell us weekly religious training" is the greatest deterant to crime and delinquency. Knowing this to be one of the finest character development projects parents should visualize what they might do to lead their families in spiritual training and religious service activities. Police reports from around the world indicate that 90 percent of all offenders fingerprinted have had little or no religious training. That those with some religious background have fallen away from their respective churches prior to becoming involved with the law. America, with all its problems, is a great country. Good citizenship demands that we honor her constitution and uphold the laws of the land, and uphold the hands of those who make the laws and administer them. It has been proven that needed changes can be made more readily through peaceful discussions of the problems than through violent recourses. God Bless America. South S. L.
