"oTms'^i NEW YORK 5! |By North Callahan -1 It's not i pleasant thing ? but there's plenty of it here. I'm refer ring to Juvenile delinquency. There ?re reasons for it, too, many rea sons, chief among them being the fact that this town is larger than any other; many of its residents are thrown so close together that they Just naturally rub each other the wrong way lots of times; and the latest contributing cause of wayward youth and teen-age gang sters is the influx of foreigners Into New. York's Harlem section, the children of whom have little to do and no room in which to do that. Senator Estes Kefauver, with whom I grew up, is scheduled to iring his investigating committee to New York soon, and Judging from his excellent past perform ance here, Estes should throw 'much new light on the problem of the Juveniles. 3 My Uncle Jesse and his wire, ap preciative readers, ask me if I have heard about the violinist who entered a London store and told the lady-clerk he wanted to "buy an E string, please." She placed a box of violin strings on the coun ter, shyly remarking, "Would you mind ,very much picking out one for yourself, sir? You see, I 'ardly know the e's from the she's." 3 Took a ride on the last elevat ed train to run, and it was of course filled with reminders of long ago. These rickety old trains have rattled above New York's streets since 1878, and recently, the last one r3n on Third Avenue. What has always been interesting to me?as I suppose It is to any curious reporter?Is being able to ride along on these old cars and look right into people's windows. The last ride was no exception, bedroom, kitchen and bath being in full view and their occupants mostly indifferent. Some of them on ths run, however, stuck their heads out of the windows and cheered the exit of the elevated rattler. But though the old rail road will be missed by many, its passing will bring sunlijfht to the darkened streets below?and may be some of those bums who sleep in these shadows will have to hustle out ai>d find a job. 3 A vivid example of how things are getting bigger all the time is the New York Telephone Com pany's 1955-56 Manhattan tele phone directory which Henry Sen ber, a top contact man of the com pany, gave ma a pert at before it | was issued. My first thought was | that one would need a wheelbai -1 row to carry it. The volume has 1,- I 824 pages, contains 1,622,460 names, addresses and phone num bers?not Including the many un listed or private telephones, of which there are many here. In 1878, the year of the first elevat ed railroad, the first such phone directory had 271 names and only one page. Ten years ago, (here were only a mere million names in it. Since that time it has in creased 62V4 per cent. 3 Some months ago this - column commented on the fact that Fred Bobbins, who halls from Baltfcma*, was not even Identified on the Ed die Fisher television show In w'llch he was the master of cere monies. Soon after that, Fred's name appeared on the program. And 1 am glad to report that now he has his own show on CBS, call ed the "Disc Derby" In which Fred gives a gool example of better than-average performance. 3 He's one of the most cheerful fellows I know. Always has a kind word and a stimulating smile. He really goes out of his way to be friendly?in a town that is not re-, nowned for its friendliness. He is , the head waiter at Washington Square Tavern and an old-time bora* cavalryman In the U. S. Army, serving In. the days when that arm of our service was a real ly-romantic, swashbuckling outfit mounted on some of the best nags in the country?as John Wayne and John Ford have evidenced In the movies. Just the other day, one of his associates told me that John, which Is his first name, has a seri ous heart condition and at best will probably live only a few years more. Meantime, this head-waiter friend of mine, goes right on be ing cheerful, friendly and a credit to this world?although he is liv ing on borrowed time. Those of us who feel we have something to gripe about; who think this Jld world is in a mess; who don't' have peace of mind?well, it seems to me we should learn a lesson from John. He has only a little while to live, but that little while, he means to make bright for others. Parham Instructor At Signal School Pvt. Richard B. Parham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kimtn'ly Parham of Waynesvllle, is now serving as an instructor in advance communica tions at the Southeastern Signal School at Camp Gordon, Ga. Parham is a graduate of Waynes ville Township High School, Gard ner-Webb Junior College, and Western Carolina College and was employed by the B. F. Goodrich Co. in Jacksonville, Fla., before en tering service. i He is married to the former Miss Velma Stamey of Waynesville, who is now teaching in the Jacksonville city schools.
