As we enter the Rotary Golden Theatre, the bright lights blaze forth the title of the drama we are about to see. Our partner, you, we take our seats, the curtain rises on the private office of Charles

Davis, middle city superintendent of schools, seated on the other side of his desk, is a slender redheaded high school boy. Kenny, I regret to inform you that the middle city youth center is out of business, effective the first of the month.

But that's not right. Of course it isn't. The town needs the youth center. But you boys and girls have fallen down on the job. I don't see how. It's the grown-ups who have fallen down if anyone has.

Let me give you a brief review of the history of the Middle City Youth Center. The building was contributed by the Dean Manufacturing Company. The building trades of the town did the remodeling. Now practically every adult in the city contributed something to a working fund to get the youth center started.

That's what I say. They gave us the money to start it and then they lost interest. Let me continue, please. three months after the opening of the place, wrestling and rough house tactics on the part of Youth Center members were responsible for $485.85 worth of damage. Carelessness has caused almost continuous deterioration of the property. Well, there should be more chaperones around
