ReNon Fisher 157 N. 300 W. By Frank C. Robertson The appeal of a mother in a recent issue of the Herald for the public to understand the problems of a young man trying to regain his place in society should rafter taking a mis-stefind a warm response if people practice the things they say they do. Usually, such a man comes out of prjson feeling that "he is an underdog, and the natural reaction of any dog is to bite the foot that kicks him. If he is trusted instead of kicked he will lose his suspicion. I happen to know a couple who believe in giving a man a chance. They took one of these boys who is out on probation, and they didn't-truhim up to a point, but all the way. At times they entrusted him with thousands of dollars worth Of property, and when people pro- - tested their foolishness they re-- . plied that you either trust a man, or you don't and they trusted this man. They treated him as an equal for perhaps the first time in his life; no preachments, just simple good will and trust, and they are completely satisfied with the results. They have reclaimed a man, and they give him the credit instead of claiming it for themselves. If others would show the same trust few boys would return to the point of the mountain. The same holds good with boys who have never had the" chance to learn the proper values. Even when some of them are given a good home they will foolishly revert to their juvenile ways, and perhaps steal a car just for kicks,-- but it does not justify condemning all boys because a few turn out to be ingrates, or the people who are trying to help them. v Those who commit crime should be punished, but the community should encourage those who are trying to keep them out of trouble, and the p, st " Once I protested to my older brother about him being an easy mark, and he replied, "I'd rather be a sucker man a wise guy." He was neither, and very few people ever let him down. He" said he would trust anyone until the person proved that he !was untrustworthy. The odds were in his favor, and. he died with the knowledge that he had never denied any adult or child the opportunity to hold his head up just an inch or two higher. r day I received a free ticket to a banquet at a famous restaurant in Paris, France, the Chateau D' Artig-neThey thought they were inviting a cultured literary gentle-- .

I once ignored an invitation to become a member of the French Academy of Arts and Letters for the same reason, though I might have traded on it to advantage, but it made me feel important. Maybe it's the same with a boy who never owned an automobile. When he sees a car with the keys left invitingly he will be tempted to take a ride, just for the hell of H. y.

Old homes depreciate in value and taxes . increase, under the new valuation policy, " if you try to keep a home so you will not have the roof fall in on you. In other words, you not only pay the expense of equipment and labor and also put a lot of your own work into it but your taxes go up because of it. - Will we sit around and try to pay till we lose what we have spent all our lives for? Or should we stop keeping things up, stop paying taxes and let the big boys have it? The way it looks, in a few more years they are going to take it whether we like it or not. the round is what Mayb they want anyway. There are a lot of nice places where old homes stand that will make nice business places or service stations. So if we, can't pay taxes they can' step in and buy them cheap.
