About The Youth Dear Mr. Editor: Here is a letter I received and I thought you might like to | read it. There's a lot in what the feller says. Sincerely, 1. D. Clare Dear Mr. Clare: 1 've lived here in Murphy now for nearly a year and have learned a lot about the citizens of Cheroke County, but there's one big question that remains unanswered. "Where are the youth at night time?" Now 1 realize that there is a scarcity of young people in our county due to many obvious reasons but there should still be more of them in sight at evening time. In my opinion there are places for the kids to be and they are; homes, highways and BY WAYS. I'm afraid too many of the kids wind up on the "By | Ways" such as local business establishments of questionable 1 character, "across the line" in adjoining states, or on the back 1 roads of their local communities. It seems to me that these | conditions are no more attractive to the youth of our county 1 than the lack of a future in their local communities due to I absence prospective employment. What we need is a "Youth 1 Conservation Program." We have got to prepare them a place in the community where they can go for fun, fellowship and good clean enjoy ment. The youth of our times are mobile. They have the use of Cars and telephones, therefore promoting the instinct of Plan to go see and do and they will do ji?st that. That's where the interested adults come into view. It is the responsibility of parents and civic leaders to promote more recreation and employment opportunities. Where are these people? Are they 1 asleep or blind to the fact that their future, leaders are de tecting right before their eyes? I know parents who have tantrums about the hopeless youth or delinquents ot our area, but when they were asked ft help in the ChUrth with the young people they invented 4 thousand other responsibilities they had, none of them being |s important a^ the welfare of their own youngsters. Is this not a twisted sense of value? - Where are the loud-mouthed politicians and civic leaders Who scream about improving the roads, less taxes, liquidation ol <mm, etc. Who is responsible to the youth? Who is going to take up the lead and promote worthwhile facilities for de veloping our future leaders? There are too many opportunt ties for you to say there is nothing for me to do. The first thing to do is open your eyes, take an interest, and just see What is going on around you. We took up arms to protect our country from aggressors of all types. Are we going to set on the side lines while our youth fight their battle toward growing up and developing into worthwhile citizens and an asset to our community and countrv. u b. Marshall, jr.
