Richard Nierman Secretary Readerville continued from page 3 Bad kids – terrible teens. We do have a lot of problems, but this poem gave me thought. Perhaps it will you. Are Children Really To Blame?? We read in the paper, we hear on the air, Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere, We sigh and we say, as we notice the trend: “This young generation… where will it end?” But can we be sure it’s their fault, alone? Too much money to spend to much idle time; Too many movies of passion and crime; Too many books not fit to be read; Too much evil in what they hear said; Too many kids encouraged to roam; Too many parents who don’t stay at home. Youth don’t make the movies; They don’t write the books /That paint the pictures of gangsters and crooks. They don’t make the liquor, they don’t run the bars, And they don’t make the cars. They don’t make the drugs that addle the brain; It’s all done by older folks, greedy for gain. In how many cases we find that it’s true… The label, “Delinquency,” fits older folks, too. By Mrs. E. B. Grant Late News! I just received word that our neighbor and friend, Perry Benson passed away. He had not been well for a long time, but the last two months he has been in the hospital and health care center. Perry was always jovial and smiling. He was the only son of Bill and Roberta Benson. His wife, Tammy has not been well either. They are all life long residents of the area., We want Tammy, Bill and Roberta, and all the family to know that we are sorry for their loss.
