Young People and Good Times
Youth today who are privileged to
having the most enjoyable, real and
greatest fun of life, without question
are Christian Young People. The best
and greatest program In recent years
has been planned for the young peo-
ple of Rockdale. A young man from
Baylor, who is now in his senior year,
will be here in April to lead in a series
of Camp Fire Programs, afternoon out
of doors, meetings with refreshments, j diets
groups, because of their unique organ
ization, are in a position to secure and
maintain these ideals, Spoking of
juvenile protection and Its problems,
Mr. Moses stressed the necessity of
finding the factors in a community
that produce behavior problems in
youth, lead to maladjustments in fam-
ily and community living which tend
to promote delinquency: then to seek
the source of difficulties in the child’s
earlier experiences which are often
truced to the preschool training in the
homes.
In reviewing these conditions he em-
phasized the importance of vocational
school programs, and the fact that
each community has its problems to
work out with the support and co-
operation of organized Parent-Teach-
er groups.
Mr. Moses also stressed the vital im-
portance of proper nourishment and
cited instances where behavior orob-
loms were traced to the lack of food.
The ’ Rockdale’ organization,' like' many
other groups, are playing a vital part
toward adjusting cases bv operating
school lunch rooms.
Preceding the talk a splendid pro-
gram of songs and a playlet was pre-
sented by pupils from the fifth and
sixth grades. The sponsors were Mes-
dames Louis Rinn, Dave McCoy and
Sam Perry. The playlet was to dem-
onstrate habits of proper and improper

HEAD COLO
Misery Fast!
If you are suffering with discomforts of
a head cold, enjoy the grand relief that
comes when you use Vicks Va-tro-nol.
3-purpos* Va-tro-nol is so effective
because it does three important things.
It (1) shrinks swollen membranes, (2)
soothes irritation, (3) helps clear coia-
clogged nasal passages. And so brings
wonderful relief! . . . And remember,
