This must be Metro‘s subwa; â€" Extensions all round town As Mr. Pot grew worse and worse, Some locals chose to meet. They thought if they all pooled ideas They might upgrade their street.

"Some mess. that is." s; "I don‘t think we can do That pothole‘s too far z They voted "NO" on waiting for The time the Road‘s Men came. For they all knew, all Road‘s would Was change the pothole‘s name. A Mr. Bogge suggested that A bridge should span the hole We may as well make revenue, By setting up a toll." A money gleam shone in their eyes. But, no one could agree. Although, they‘d fought like alley cats On what the toll would be. Then, Mr. Stemme, brought up a gem. Let‘s build a fence around, So‘s cars will stop while they‘re on top And not, below the ground." On and on the meeting went. No answer could be found.

Immediately, the hue and ery of more police protection was raised. One man who is involved in work with teenagers accompanied five of them. He is understandably dismayed at their actions. This cry has been going on for quite some time in all areas of Metro. Unâ€" fairly, the criticism has been levied at the police on many occasions. They cannot be everywhere at once, yet people seem to think they can and expect it. Merchants are always insistâ€" ing upon a man pounding a beat, checkâ€" ing doors. A few days ago one of our magisâ€" trates serving the area had a parade of 37 teenagers before him. The charge in most cases . . . drinking under age, or illegal possession. Instead of going to the focal dance, these teenagers have been going to drinking parties in homes. The atoreâ€" mentioned gentleman has left the dance and gone in restaurants to find some obhvinusly picâ€"eved voungsters.

There is obviously something wrong, and asâ€" sistance is needed, perhaps psychiatric. In any event, it is hoped they will reâ€" ceive help before it is too late.

We desperately do, west of Highway 27 at least. A survey of the teenagers in this area would justify the need. He also said that private enterâ€" prize would provide recreation for those who could afford it and there were swimming classes and hockey for those who were less endowed with "the almighty buck." Most of the expense is in getting to these places and those who do not have cars stay at home. There is so much immorality in our community and we blame cars for a great deal of it, so let‘s get our teeners out of the ears and back on their feet to walk to recreation in our comâ€" munity. Possibly a jot of drinking and necking parties going on around us would stop if we kept our teeners busy and inâ€" terested and it will give some of the teeners an opportunity to regain respect for themâ€" selves so they can show more resapect for their teachers and other authorities.

On the other band, if he was not a member, are we still not missing out for it should be this type of youth we are concentrating our efforts on I firmly believe that it isn‘t a juvenile who is delinquent but originally the home from which )e came. Homes make up a community â€"the Westway communityâ€" so it therefore becomes every resident‘s concern to eliminate these acts in the future by starting with a good foundaâ€" tion within the walls of our homes. I would strongly suggest to youngsters who ride bikes to such meetings that they discontinue doing so or leave them at the home of a friend close to the hall. Since this is not only a perâ€" wonal letter between me and the administration of this townâ€" ship but involves most people in the â€" municipality, I am making this an open letter for our local press to use if they see fit.
