We are going to the state press association convention this week -en d, and as this amounts to our annual "vacation/' • we are sure that our customers y;ill pardon us for taking one day off duty. It is at these press meetings that we meet editors, scribes, and other weird persons from all parts of Utah to "talk shop/' and to try to figure out just why we are in this kind of business. • Mayor Bern Rasmussen says that it has come to the attention of city officials that small boys are damaging traffic stop signs in this city. While no malicious mischief is presumed to be :intended by the boys, however, it would please local authorities if such practices are discontinued now, immediately, and forthwith. •The following le tter is being sent to a n umber of prominent local citizens, a nd officers of civic a nd r eligious groups. We did not h ave time to m ake a story for this week's issue, and so we print the Jett er, and ask that you watch for next week 's paper to get comp lete details: " The problems of you th were never so acute and real as they are today. There is a nation-wide upsurge of juvenile crime. Our young people are beset with temptations whichever way they turn. In many cases parental control has completely broken down. In some communities the schools have lost their power to control the conduct of many children. "In Mid vale we are more fortunate than in most communities with respect to these things. On the whole, the juvenile behavior is far above average. Our school attendance is good and behavior outside of school is certainly not as bad as in many sections of the country. This is because the citizens of Midvale are conscious of their welfare and have always been willing to co-operate .in any plan for the betterment of its young people. "In many sections of the country committees have been formed, whose function it is to plan for the welfare of its young citizens. The first meeting will be held Wednesday evening, January 19, at 8 p. m. in the Intermediate School Building. Will you please plan to be present. Sincerely, E. E. Greenwood."
