t Juvenile Deliquency?
“Children, like canoes, are more easily controlled if
paddled from the rear.”
' Kodiak has no problem of juvenile delinquency. We are
most fortunate to have had several civic minded citizens in
Jf the past who have taken a marked interest in the welfare of
I;Kodiak youth.
y Lets reminisce. Ip 1945 when Kodiak first started to
l have growing pains, a family moved into the City and a Com
i- munity Center sprang into being. Ken Wade headed the pro
‘ ject artid’ Kodiak youthwere well taken care of during that
era. There are a few Kodiak citizens that will argue that point
j but remember Senator McCarthy has a few followers in the
* United States. Nevertheless Ken did a whale of a job with
; very.littlet? work with. No gymnasium, no playground, no
athletic field, and very little equipment. But the kids kept out
' of trouble, had a good time, and many of them today are
happily married or se'eking higher education elsewhere.
Next came an era of unrest. The Community Center
w&s made part of the School system due to crowded condi
tions. The . kids had.no place to go, nothing to relieve their
pent up energies, but the era was shoit lived.
Along came Elliott Hymans with the founding of the
j new Kodiak USO in Kodiak. The Boy Scouting program
S flourished and the Kodiak boys at least were all busy passing
V their various tests. All at once all organizations took a pro
[' nounounced view on Kodiak’s youth and there sprung into
| being, • the Drum and Bugle Corps sponsored bv the VFV*
J Auxiliary, the Rainbow Girls, sponsored by the Masons, the
* Girl Scouts, sponsored by the Emblem Club and the Brownies,
? sponsored by the VFW. Any Kodiak youth that doesn't be
J long to one of these many organizations must be either a
* naturalist or a hermit.
Orchids to all the Citizens that had part in the making
of all these juvenile organizations possible.
No-:-Kodiak has no Juvenile Delinquency problem.
Brazen Stupidity
One of the leading: Ladies’ fashion magazines, for this
, month, comes out with a picture of a model on the cover who
would make any red-blooded male animal run at first sight.
, Everything about the cover' is ridiculous, from dress and
■gloves and pose on the beach to the general wacky net effect
itself.
We are continually amazed at the crazy, starvation
/ figures featured by the so-called fashion plate magazines. It is
<*sbbad few attractive models-ie ft in the husi
ness. Any {ioateowould take one look at the bony brigade now
earning a living in this racket and see most of them are suf
fering from malutrition.
S - The greatest question involved in all this nonsense is
' why women keep baying each obviously impractical fashion
advise. If a mechanics magazine came out with an array t>f
non-workable advise, it would soon be called to task,- and
vanish from the magazine shelves of the nation. Yet the
fashion magazines get by with the dizziest nonsense imagin
able, and women seem to dismiss it as laughable.
