AN APPRECIATION CLUB
\ Fourth of July Editorial
By Ruth Taylor
In the Waverly Sun recently
there was an editorial on an "Ap
preciation Club”, the aim of which
was, at periodic intervals, to ex
press appreciation to some resi
dent for something he or she had
done for the community. I think
it is a splendid idea, and I con
gratulate the Waverly Sun for
its fine suggestion.
But I'd like to see the idea car
ried still further. I‘d like to see
an “Appreciation Club” that
would make every member a liv
ing witness of his appreciation
of our country and of our form
of government. I'd like to have
its members show to the world
that not only do the Communists
and the Nazis have convictions,
but that Americans have just as
strong faith in the ideals of de
mocracy and that they, too, are
willing to proselyte for them.
How would such a club work
out?
First of all, a member would
have to be a good citizen. He
would have to take an active part
in the work of his community, his
state, his nation. He would obey
the laws that he and his fellow
citizens make. He would criticize
constructively, not destructively.
He would hold out the hand of
fellqyship to his brother Ameri

He would show the American
credo begins and ends in Justice
for all. That it affords opportunity
not privileges or a sinecure— tc
each and every one. He would nei

He would, by his actions, offer

That»a bill of rights for Americans
can be a bill of rights for all the
world. And that within its pro
visions i3 the one that affords each
man the right and the responsi

BILLY CONN AND JOE LOUIS
NEW YORK—Even though you
weren’t one 6f the lucky suckers
who held one of the tickets scaled
from one hundred bucks down, for
the Louis-Conn fight you’ll stand
a pretty good chance to see the
pictures, and when you do, try
to look them over twice. The 1st
time you’ll be tense and anxious,
the second time, keep your eyes
glued on Billy Conn. You’ll have
to watch him anyhow because
Billy is all movement, getting
away from the lethal dose hiding
in every solid Joe Louis wallop.
Conn has perfected the art of
running away in the ring until it
is almost an exact science. He

FLANAGAN A Prep School to
SAYS the Penitentiary
A judge with whom I am acquainted recently sentenced
two teen-agers to tho reformatory for three years each for a
S5 theft. When he gave the sentence, he explained he had
tried to find a reason for leniency, but that “it just wasn’t
there.”
I wonder! We often go through the motions of being
generous and even sympathetic in dealing with hapless juv
eniles, but how seldom we show any real generosity or sym
pathy, except superficially for our own mental appease
mcht.
Was this judge trying to find a cause for leniency? Or
was he trying to whitewash his own conscience? Both
youth9, it is true, had been in trouble before. One had
served a reformatory sentence for car theft, and the other
had been paroled oji a burglary charge by the juvenile
court. They were “repeaters.” But why? Was it, as
the judge sail!, because these boys were hopeless criminals?
Every hoy deserves*a chanee ?o become a good and use

-cause of bad parents, had environment, and bad example.

With o'" G d at r’” 'i""r'r "'r ~ thrr~ ern he en!y cenf'es

olrfife cannot know what to do with his own life, and if he
annot know what to do with Ins o..*i aie, ii »s cer.a.n ue
•. ill not. make the best use ol it.
We can do no greater injustice to any boy titan to put a
•riminal’s brand upon him because he has made a mistake,
'-nd yet, as a matter of ract, this is just what we do, and
vhat we have been doing for centuries. The reformatory
’oes not reform. It was never meant to. actually. It was
neant to be a penal institution. And that is exactly what
it is^—a prep school to tlie penitentiary. (
Take the case of these two boys. Their offense was not
that they took $5 that wasn’t theirs, it was that they had
made similar mistakes before. This is what the judge
meant when he said hd could find no reason for leniency.
One of the two had been in the reformatory before. And
now he is on his way back because he'came out; no' better,
and probably much worse, than when he • went in. The
blame is put on theyouth. No voice is raised in protest a
gainst the institution. No criticism is directed against the
kind of thinking which still accepts the lash and the cell as
the only way to deal with young people who get into trouble.
People may believe, in a half-hearted sort of way, that
the boy who commits a crime is a morally sick boy, but
they continue to act as if he were simply a bad boy.
Punishment may be the practice, but it is not the answ
er. Punishment goes no further than the mistake for
which il is invoked. If we are to help the youth, if we
really want to help him become a useful member of society
instead of a misfit, then we need to get down to the cause
i of his mistakes.
We need to change his ideas about life and its meaning.
! We need to teach him to apply himself constructively. We
need to instill in him a new sense of self-respect by treating
him with respect, instead of allowing him to be pushed a
round.
Instead of ushreing him off to the reform school as a
hopeless criminal, he should be treated as a spiritually sick
child who, through want and neglect, has been deprived of
his rightfitf heritage. Such are the social have-nots. They
! need to be understood, loved and helped, not blamed and
| punished.

(lanced around for almost eight
rounds, and when you consider
that he knew what was coming to
him after a while, it must have
been a nervous and tiring half
hour he spent in the ring at the
Yankee Stadium.
Before, during and after the
fight, all of the sports celebrities
spoke of Conn as a game little
challenger, and who am I to dis
agree, but while paying tribute to
his gameness, I reserve the right
to put down what I saw.
As you watch Conn in action,
you will note that he is behaving
like a burned child who dares to
play with fire again hoping that
his previous experience will keep
him from getting singed. Subcon
sciously, he knew he wanted to
run out on the whole business, but
something sporting inside him,
kept him in there feinting and fa
king and hoping to befuddle the
champ enough to get in a lucky
wallop.
It wasn’t a pretty spectacle, to
watch Joe stalking an opponent
who was scared in a controlled
sort of way. The fight was slow
and dull, at time almost motion
less except for the purposeful ad
vancing of Jolting Joe. Conn tried
tricks and circus antics, paying
too much attention to the myth
that Joe Louis is dull-witted and
easily befuddled. He danced about
like an insane man in a lion’s cage
who hopes to punish the lion by
getting him good and mad before
he has his dinner.
, Conn with the first sock in the
puss got a pretty crimson in his,
complexion. He tried endless num-:
bers of times to throw Joe off
balance with feints and dodges,
nut Joe just kept rolling along.
Billy wanted to win. He knew he
couldn’t win with his much-vaun
ted boxing skill and speed, he
hoped for a miracle, a miracle that
would make Joe beat himself. *
Joe could have knocked him out
any time from the second round
on, but Joe never underestimates
an opponent. Conn hid prepared
for the fight in a thorough man
ner. When he stepped into the
- ng, his chance to win was equal
0 Joe’s, so far as hitting and
ducking goes, so Joe had to feel
1 n out, analize his purpose, be
fore he went in for thes kill Louis
was being cautious, he had been
out of the ring for serious pur
ojes for almost five years, and
,vhile he had confidence in himself
j resized that what he plan
net to do, could also happen to
him.
There wasn't a person in the
" :i ;ee Stadium, who didn’t be
ve, after the first round, that
Joe Louis would rock Billy to
kep before the evening was over
and there aren’t as' many as you
think who are disappointed in the
way most of the sports writers
say they are. True enough they
wanted to see Billy Conn show
enough fight to make it an inter
esting contest, but few of them
agree with Brooklyn’s Congress
man O’Toole that the fix was in.
O’Toole, let me say in passing,
comes to the public’s attention for
the first time during his tenure.
I have never heard of him before
and I daresay, neither have you.
He’s in the limelight now through
an unfair accusation, and Joe is
still the cleanest, most sportsman
like champ the game has ever had.
When the tumult and the shout
ing have died down a bit, and the
fans take a cooler look at the pro
ceedings, they will realize that
they saw the greatest Joe Louis
of his entire career in action
against Billy Conn. At 32, Louis
has reached the peak of his dev
elopment as the best fighting ma
chine of all time. He out-boxed
Conn, and he out-thought him all
the way. He k6pt his balance with
the ease and grace of an adagio
dancer while shuffling flatfooted
to corner his man. There isn’t a
heavy in the world who can beat
the champ, although there are
dozens of contenders who can get
into the ring witlr him and make
it more interesting than did game
Billy Conn. If there was anything
wrong with the fight, it could be
that Conn was scared, and Joe was
cautious, and you can’t blame
either of them.
