Who is to blame for delinquency You, or your untrained girl or boy Who turned to sin in search of joy? Do you delight in obeying Cod And train your child with reproof arid rod? Or does he grow from babe to youth. Devoid of the knowledge of Christ, the truth? Do you take your children to Sunday school To learn of Cod and the golden rule? Or are they sent to a picture show. Where many delinquent children go? They learn of crime and of sinful lust, But not of Christ whom they ought to trust. They learn to lie and to steal and kill. But not to love and to do Cod's will. Who is to blame you or the child. If he turns to crime and becomes defiled? Who should go to the prison cell, The rope or the chair, and a burning hell? Cod is your Judge in Heaven above. He bids you repent, in His, grace and love: To turn from your careless, wicked way, And start to study the Bible and pray. Forsake the world and the social whirl. And go to church with your boy and girl. O, parents, pause and listen to me. For YOU are the cause of delinquency. Author Unknown Submitted by Mrs. Paul Long, Route 1 , Plattsmouth Doris Day Dazzling In $40,000 Wardrobe Highlighting the glamour and excitement of the Roaring Twenties, M-G-M's "Love Me Or Leave Me," opening at the Cass Theater, Sunday, February 26, tells the story of Ruth Etting, singing sensation of Broadway and Hollywood, whose name is still enshrined in the hearts of millions. The new picture, in Cinemascope and color, stars Doris Day, James Cagney and Cameron Mitchell. Miss Day, who recently scored in "The Young at Heart," now plays her most challenging and provacative role as Ruth Etting, whose appealing voice - and gay personality made her the sweet heart of radio, records, the Ziee- fed Follies and motion pictures. Cagney, in the hard-hitting type of portrayal which won him an Academy Award, enacts Marty Snyder, the Chicago promoter who manages Miss Etting, bat tles over her contracts and jeal ously fights everyone with whom she comes into contact.
