Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday, April 3, 19581 LETTERS . . . TO THE EDITOR Millard County Chronicle Delta, Utah Dear Editor: Today as I was reading the March 27 issue of the Chronicle 1 observed a notice by the Deputy Sheriff requesting a meeting of committee members for the purpose of establishing a youth center. I will appreciate your kindness if you will allow me the space in your paper to express an opinion on this subject. It has been my observation that in most instances Youth Centers do more to nourish delinquency rather than curtail it. Youth Centers often become a meeting place for delinquents on their way to more exciting adventures. Kids who should be home at night often use the center as an excuse for more nights away from home. It is time we stopped trying to keep our young people happy by furnishing them with more and more facilities Dor amusement. It is a fallacy to think that Johnny has to have some place to go every night, and it is also a fallacy to believe that we can stop him from becoming a delinquent by providing him with every recre ational need. Juvenile delinquency is much greater in large cities where there is no lack of some thing to do all the time, than in small places where there is no public entertainment available. It is the kids that are out late at night after amusement places are closed that are getting into trouble. It would be . foolish to furnish amusement all night long to keep them from getting in trouble. Youth Centers are not only costly cost-ly to operate, but they become burdensome to supervise properly and quite often become neglected in this respect. If we are interested in curbing delinquency I believe .we can help much more by seeing that they are gainfully employed. The boy or girl who has plenty of work to do is Glen and Dorothy Terry, of Reno, Nevada, and their children, Chris, Sanford, Susan and Leslie Anne, arrived Saturday for a week's visit with Mrs. Terry's mother, Mrs. Dee Sanford, and Virginia.

The plan being used in Salt Lake to send boys into the National Forests every morning to work under the supervision of the Forest Ranger has done much to rehabilitate delinquent de-linquent boys. Much o'f the trouble could also be prevented by keeping young people home more and giving them more responsibility. The home has got to assume more of the responsibility to discipline, disci-pline, teach respect, and appreciation apprecia-tion if we are to whip the problem of delinquency. Most boys and girls that come into court say that they don't have anything to do. Yet it is a rare case when I find one who takes any part in any of the fine activities offered by the schools and churches in every community. Rather they are problems in school if attending at all and are not interested in any church or school activity. I am in favor of all wholesome recreation and know that they are vital to every community, but let us not assume that lack of some facilities is going to make our young people delinquents. Rather I believe we should be more concerned con-cerned with returning to some of the old fashioned virtues that our grandparents taught. Perhaps we would discover that home is not such a bad place to spend an evening eve-ning once in awhile. A large part of our young people are good. Less than three percent get into any kind of trouble. I am sure that much needs to be done to help our young people, out Deiore we spend money on Youth Centers why not find what they really need so that money and effort will not be wasted.
