Roper, Se cretary of Commerce; Robert Feehner, director of Emergency Conservation Work; John H Stude baker, Commissioner of Eudcation in the Department of the Interior; and Richard R Brown, Deputy Ex ecutive Director of the National Youth Administration President Roosevelt, unable to be present because the date of the con ference coincided with the opening of Congress, wrote; “I am delighted to learn that de legates have come from all sections of America to consider the problems confronting the Negro race. I want to assure you of my deep in terest in these problems and my appreciation of your efforts in seek ing the way to a solution. “In Hhe administration of the af fairs of government I have contin uously endeavored to keep in mind ELK’S START DRIVE (Continued from Page 1) of proper and adequae facilities which afford an outlet for the pent up energies of a healthy growing youth. Charts from the research | <’< par'*ment of the Omaha university show that where adequate parks, playgrounds and recreational cen ters are furnished, juvenile deli quency is not nearly as great as where there Is none. These charts also show that between Maple and Nicholas St. 24th and 30th, juven ile deliquency equals approximate ly three tenths of that of the whole city. It also sh'-ws that in this area them Is no playground, park or adequate recreational center. “The promoters of this gymnasium project make no claim that this is a panacea for all of the deliquen cier, among the boys of this dis trict- They believe that at least it wotdd o k'len tfrrlr jams pec- five and create within them a desire to develop into something worth while by ever s kiving to reach and excell their Ideal which every boy has—in boxing, wrestling, base ball, etc. It should be taken into consideration the fact that boys of today are subjected to a greater number of temptations than were i boys of 30 or 40 years ago. Motion pictures did not furnish an excuse for boys to stay out until 11 and 12 o’clock every night. There were no fast moving automobiles to ex cite their cupidity. In those days 9:00 o’clock p. m. was the dead line f<>r boyg of a certain age to come indoors. They were controlled by two forces, the curfew whis'le which indicated the time to go in and the “old man” if they did not go in. The boys then had “wide open spaces" in which to run, play, wrestle, box—.with the fermament as their “top” and the grass as their mat. Every group of boys had ‘heir lUvorite swimming pool or “mud hole” In every yard were trees with limbs and branches ex tended where they climb and “skin the cat,” The boys of this age must be furnished these things, and it is up to someone to furnish them Who ? “AneJ’er great asset (he “old fashioned” boy had that the “new bey” has missed—and old fashion ed nr ther—on the advent of the pew woman, i!he old mother pass ed 'mt of the picture. Not that the row has not the same Iovq for her young ns the old fashined mother had for hers. Bu', oh, well, thee is jusj somethings different. “F 'me have expressed a fear .hat possibly some person with sel 'ish inti rest or jealous motives would oppose the movement to es Ush a place such as this gym. nnlly | fecd and I am full per •i •(!: ,’ that there Is so much to be lone in tihls old world of ours, and so many td do for, especially at thbs time, no one need have any fear that nothings will be left for them to do. So, let us keep on do ing, keep boosting, keetp on smil ing.” concluded Mr. Harris.
