Show the forum I 1 I 1 I 1 may not agree with what you say but will fight to the death for your right tg say it f voltaire Yel taire many letters have been written to t this h I 1 s newspaper concerning the younger generation in this growing community but this is directed to the mothers and fathers and any other adults who might be interested in helping the future citizens of tomorrow by helping I 1 don t mean physical labor or financial contribution but your encouragement for the young people in this tawn to attend anc and participate in the junior civic council this is a wonderful woud erful opportunity for file kids but you adults don t seem to care one way or the other if they succeed or not what is it a sceptic cal point of view or just a fact of caring wat happens to these kids A ACK acis cis they are out of their teens and into maturity in larger cities the interest of most adults is to keep uie the kids off the streets but in green river it is keep the fads kids off the hill but the ironic part of it all is that the kids here seem to be more concerned about helping the situation situ atio i than the adults this junior civic council that has been organized is for the betterment of all not only now but in years tg come and I 1 think you adults who sit around with tongue in cheek wondering when it will fall through ough should do everything to encourage your children to take part in this growing organization community of this size can do one of three things very easily pro giebas remain at a standstill or become retrogressive these kids are showing show ing interest in their town and in biall 11 evidence theydon t want to see this town just plug along asper as per generations before them but would like to for something better than they have right now you older people dont seem to be interested in any civic affairs and your attitude seems to be sit back criticize and do nothing why not stop your criticism and help these kids to be more civic minded for the good of the community and them eles perhaps it is the adults who need prodding out of a lackadaisical state of mind As tor for you kids you can hel help P your parents to understand your situation bet er instead of say saying 1 ng oh heck there is nothing to do biourd here why not sit down and explain to them your point of view and what this organization can do to help you I 1 believe if you can create the in terest of your parents to back you there will be no retrogression for green river and you the future citizens interested |
