CALL TO CHURCH Sunday School Week Stresses Value to Youth Marking the annual observance ob-servance of National Sunday School Week, parents of the country's 30 million children of all races and creeds between the ages of 6 and 16, will give their offspring a last-minute grooming and send them off to neighborhood neighbor-hood churches during the ; week of April 14 to 20. Sponsored by the Laymen's National Na-tional committee of New York, a non-sectarian, non-sectarian, non-profit patriotic and re ligious organization. National Sunday School Week was established three years ago to stimulate church school attendance and to utilize religious training as a basic method of combatting com-batting juvenile delinquency. As in past years, National Sunday Sun-day School Week has been proclaimed pro-claimed by mayors throughout the nation as well as by the governors of the 48 states. Civic, educational and fraternal organizations with national na-tional memberships have signified their support of the week-lone re ligious training period. To permit hospitalized children chil-dren and those invalided at home to join in the observance, the Laymen's National committee commit-tee has arranged with radio networks net-works to conduct special religious reli-gious programs during the week. Further amplifying the endeavors of National Sunday School Week, Rear Adm. Reginald R. Belknap (USN, Ret.), World War I naval hero and chairman of the Laymen's Na tional committee, declared, "Con stant religious training that is be gun early in the life ol every child will be uistrumental in thwarting ju venile delinquency. A broad con cept of God and the teachings of the Bible will aid our youths in readily distinguishing between right and wrong. Early religious training is the responsibility of every parent. "It is time," Admiral Belknap said, "to popularize the fact that a boy or girl who regularly attends Sunday School and who is obedient to his parents and teachers is not a 'sissy,' but a' real American."
