Neglected Opportunities Jn Churches ^
The biggest neglected opportunity of all is the facilities
of our churches. There are no less than a dozen churches, for
white people in Stamford and some four hr the colored com-
munity. A large percent of ^ese have handsome, expensive
buildings, excellent equipment and well qualified ministers.
In these churches, we would guess there are between 50 and
100 Sunday school classes for children and youths, besides
other young people's groups^ Chances are, the rooms and
facilities which these classes and groups have are not being
used to half their capacity even for an hour on Sunday thorn-

will tell yoi$ that the greatest difficulty in~ Keeping' young
people interested in church activities is the problem of secur-
ing and keeping adult leadership that is qapable and willing.
There are plenty of church members in Stamford with the
ability and personality required for leadership. If they would
only accept jobs in the churches and work at them, or do a
better job at tasks which they already have, attendance at
Sunday School and young people^meetings could be doubled
and the wdwile moral Atmosphere in youth circles In Stamford
would bonified to a higher level.

, ■ ' , Fancy Name for Sin and Cussedness
There has been a good deal of talk about juvenile delin-
quency since some shocking examples of what is taking place
in Stamford and surrounding communities were revealed at
the Rotary Club last week and reported in this newspaper.
Juvenile delinquency is not a new thing. It is just old fash-
ioned sin, wild oats and cussedness dressed up with a new
name. .
That’s one of the sources of our whole problem^ What us-
ed to be plain home-made sin has been dressed up. We started
it a decade ago. First, drinking liquor was made fashionable,
a movement which received the aid of even the President’s
wife, witrtTiter advice to girls about proper drinking habits.
Loose jjex relations have been popularized through maga-
zines, newspapers and movies, and by persons of national
prominence And popularity.
The efforts of'CTuirch officials and of respectable leaders
of all types to uphold moral standards have been held up to
ridicule by so-called liberals. Wprstof all, parents have fallen
in with the general trend and basked in the luxury of sins
which were forbidden them in their youths. The wrong-do-
ings of many girls can be placed squarely on the shoulders of
mothers who want their daughters to have the fun that
The same could be said of fathers who en-

It’s Community Business
However, our problem can not be dismissed as a family
< affair, ft 8$ a community problem as well. Your child asso-
ciates with your neighbors’ sons and daughters. Their off-
spring is affected by the character of yours There is a crying
: need for greatercammunity interest in boys and girls.
The police are the last people in the world who should
have to deal with youih. When they come in contact with the
police, they have already gone a long way down the road-to
disaster. When the home, the church, the schools, the youth
organizations have failed, the police and courts tackle the
salvage job.
. - New plans and facilities to help solve the youth problem
will doubtless be worked out and offered to the community.
Meanwhile, ten times as much as is now being done can be
accomplished with equipment we already have. Excellent
facilities have been provided for Boy Scouts and Camp Fire
Girls, and they are not being used to one-fourth their capa-
city. The few.adult leaders wjjo are really working in these

LAMOFILM PACKAGE PRESERVES THE FRESHNESS
One of the very real economics of Admiration Coffee is its unique
freshness. When freshness evaporates so too do arorria, flavor, and
strength. Admiration Coffee retains all these qualities oven-fresh
because its Lamofilm Package is leak-proof. Once sealed (we should
say once triple-sealed) nothing can escape. Nor can moisture seep in.
This freshness thus saves you many a pound during the year—and
as much monev.
ADMIRATION PREVENTS COFFEE-MAKING FAILURES
%
If your coffee maker and water are clean, it’s practically impossible
to make a "bad” cup of Admiration Coffee. This wonderful old
blend, favorite for years in the Southwest, iV rich, flavorful, and
aromatic. No matter how you prefer your coffee, weak, moderate*
or strong, its distinctive flavor is always discernible. You’ll know
it’s Admiration, for Admiration'alonc tastes like that. By all means
try a pound today if you’re one of those rare individuals who’ve
never had the pleasure.
