Camden Chronicle, Camden, S. C. Dear John: Our whole moss and furore about youth delinquency looks like we are getting the old cart before the horse. We would come nearer making some heudway if we did something about our delinquent mamas and papas versus their off-shoot. We get too many I hot mamas and prancing papas. They been stepping on the gus and turning the youngsters over to be brought up by some playground director or social i thoorlts?some graduate in psychology from some noted university. We are now in our second generation of delinquents. "What is your idea on llxlng every- j thing?" say9 Henry. "1 am glad you asked me," 1 says. "First, 1 would give the police free rein. When they pick up an obstreperous 16-year-old and lock him or her up, they would go right out and round up the gosling's mama and papa and waltz them into the same Jail. The whole family could cool off together?and maybe get acquainted. And in the second place, I would have an open season, year around, on psychologists, and pay a nice bounty for evei) hide brought In." Yours with the low down, Jo Serra. Editor's Note: Joe, we can't quite agree with you on bringing in the hides of our oniinent psychologists, but, we are interested in presenting to our public every possible point of view. There might be some logic in a part of your argument. When wo get them we will answer you in our editorial columns, ^hanks for thinking of us. THE CLINIC BUILDING Rock Hill. S. C. February 6. 194J*.

Sacrificing Non-Essential Calls Helps Clear Lines for Vital War Calls You bet it's pleasant to talk with friends over the telephone, just as it was pleasant to take those long Sunday afternoon rides when we had plenty of tires and gasoline. 8ut social calls must be handled over the same local telephone facilities as war calls. There is a definite limit to the number of calls these facilities can handle at the same time, and when more calls are made, some must wait. With telephone equipment already burdened with war calls, non-essential calls may delay necessary calls, so we are requesting your voluntary cooperation to reduce unneces, sary calling. Under normal conditions we * wo^fd expand our facilities to cfcre for the increased volume of calls, but we cannot do that now because the needed materials >ere going into war weapons. So won't you help by making fewer local calls? And when you mutt make a call, won't you please try to make it aa short as possible?

I You can aid wartime bus service by planning essential trips for February or March ? instead of Mid-Summer Never in history has it been so important to choose with care the time and occasion for travel. Through the years bus travel has always been very heavy in some months, less- heavy in others ? and this has held true even in wartime when the demands on transportation are naturally increased. That's why Greyhound has long urged everyone to travel during less crowded periods?and February and March are just such times. Essential trips taken in mid-winter will greatly relieve overcrowding in the mid-summer months ahead. I JAN. FEB. MAR. APR.
