Editorial The Beginning I hi* Is the first <>f » series to apfieur In this |M|>< i nhont this Youth Movement and axe written *»y some of the youth who axe concerned about the future of our state and country: Any com ments will he welcome. We. the youth of our nation have Ixen urged by our President and by our Governor to join in the movement to help our state and communities develop to their fullest potential. Recently at the District III Conference of Youth at St Paul we were asked to "Ijet Youth Help Ne Itraska Grow”, and we youth who attended from O'Neill High School and St. Mary's Academy, brought hack to O'Neill many new plans and ideas that we would like to share will) all the people of this community. Our first duty is to alert all of the young people of every town in Nebraska to this movement: One of the objects of the program is to plan various projects to develop leadership and self-government; Thus we can show to our elders that some of us are thinking of the future of our community and our place in it We want the chance to prove to the adults that we are worthy of their trust and con fidence First we need our parent’s and other adult’s support and guidance. Perhaps together we can era.'- the haled labels "Teenage Hoodlums” and “Juvenile Delinquent” and earn the title of “Young Citizens”. By Denny Drayton Curb to Business There is always objection to state control of business but there are those who believe that it must be controlled. We have a g<xxl example of the latter in a lull now pending before the Nebraska Legislature. It provides that an owner of several retail out lets in the state can't have more than two beer or liquoi licenses. This would include firms that oper ate multiple stores. Under the Nebraska liquor control law, recog nized as one of the l>est, there is provision for licensing beer and liquor dealers. The licenses are issued by the State liquor Control Commission ujxm the recommendation of the city or county in which the licensee i . to operate. The state has authority to bold bearings and decide whether the person holding a license or seeking a license is to he en trusted with it. I’.cer and liquor, although under state control by virtue of the licensing process, are recognized as any other commodity and they move in the regular course of trade. Firms retailing cigarets also must have a li eeiiM-. If ii is proper to limit the number of licenses one firm can have for retailing beer and liquor it is also proper to limit the number of licenses one firm can hold for sale of tobacco. Some restraints on improper business practices are necessary, but any of those designed only for the purpose of eliminating comixdition do not appear to lx1 in the best interests of the public. Enactment of .such restrictive legislation as proposed can only lead to other such laws and in time we have so many petty controls that business is stifled. 4-H Club Week is Coming National 4-11 Club Week, which is to be otiservod (luring the March 2-9 period, deserves special at tention. We live in a time in which juvenile delinquency has become a national problem of great and grow ing dimension Every possible force needs to be brought to bear against the dismaying trend The 4-H movement ranks high in this respect. The young men and women who lielong to the far-flung 4-H organizations learn how to make the most of the land, how to handle animals, how to develop character within a natural and healthy environm* nt. They bear within them, to a great extent, the future strength, discipline and solidity of this nation. All [»ower to 4-H Week. May it lx* a resounding success! MOUNT PLEASANT, PA , JOURNAL: ” I lived to lx 100 by refraining from smoking, dancing, drinking and chasing women’, says a centenarian. This may explain how he lived that long, but it loesn’t explain why.” AIJ1ERT LEA, MINN., TRIBUNE: ". . . the rate of bankruptcies is running so high that econo mists, sociologists and laisiness administrators have joined lawyers in seeking cures . . . Apparently the one thing not needed is harsher law. Lawyers in a formal report say there seems to be ‘a definite re ationship to harsh collection laws' of bankruptcies. California, Oregon, Illinois and Ohio have the tough st garnishee laws and the highest rate of voluntary bankruptcy petitions ... We might also add as our guess thfit government taxing policies should be regarded as contributing to delinquencies in debt payments.” BILL RICHARDSON. Publisher BRUCE J. RE1IBERG.
