The goal in terms of SCO I know I live there on the tower

My father was back at the tissue

That's a little really bad sunlight that on my corner.
It's a mission make cocoa to the mole.
You can always see a plant based on every corner a localized cell
and they get going.
You get a thousand thousand sticky kinda stuff she about
because Byron can come on. Or at night you can always tell that for long.
They want to get you some private mission
thousand lire chrono there was a crane they'd be read on their protest

thing cause me anything bad happening isn't a quick getaway thunderstorm

I am family mosque attorney general of the state of California.
There is no one cause for juvenile delinquency A
and therefore there is no one cure for juvenile delinquency.
The elements
that go to make up a fine young person in our society are generally threefold first
loving parents. Second late intelligence teachers
and thirdly a wholesome environment in which to grow up
but all too many of our young people today lack one two
or even all three of these elements
and therefore we have what we call juvenile delinquents the community then has an
obligation to provide those missing element. When I speak of the community.
I mean society generally especially
and also private organizations which work in this field any private organization
that gives to youngsters the opportunity to do something useful
and constructive gives them a chance of a man of the long participate of winning
the approval and that for patients.
Of their elders
and of their contempt for any such organization in our society today is doing a
most useful and constructive thing both for the young people
and for the community in which they live.
You know what kind of twelve o'clock four.
Five.
OK back
to the plant.
We'll show you
give you an example of this before with the service of the cup of my Godfrey is
there swears it's like the sight of Patterson
but it's not right to the chief
brass knuckles. Someone is on the ground someone is going to ground.
I think the referee not as an officer don't get
panicked ladies don't get panicked ladies.
Nothing will happen only in
got to be clean. Keep it clean.
We're going to do the
right no job.
Don't worry I know what the I tell you you're too young you are inexperienced.
You're not a union we can't buy You've been in trouble. You're not a graduate.
We can use you but don't worry don't worry
or later doing the Christmas night in Perth to be snatched from a man to be knocked
down and everybody at one zero
when we saw those supposed to
like people
but a day to see you fight is here to say that's what they believe in because you
in a club
and you win a club jacket there for you at the right away to the public there knows
what is but some people don't realise
that you know death by being on a little bit that it can be a good thing
and a club can be a bad thing to be about him
but you have to start out with the right thing they end up right.
When Carl may started useful service he realised he could work through the leaders
of the jacket clubs at first I went out looked up these boys on the street.
This is John Bird president of the warlocks a very important club in San Francisco.
I just put it up to them what they help.
I told them we needed them and it worked because it. The truth.
I'm com I am working organization never heard of you for service for large sheets
that terminate a time
or faces a raven to do
that we might have you guys there and that one of the reasons
that we started the counseling for service people
and he kept going to paint a painting job after work to clean up their faces
when they need help and we got a we got a family now
that need some help and we want to go there next week next Saturday.
We've got ourselves
a child. Hell I think it will pick up in the morning.
This is a useful service work project.
These boys are working for nothing doing something for somebody else who needs help
doing the answer is that these boys are no different than the rest of us.
They need to be needed.
They may have had less chance than most of us to relate constructively to the
community they need the opportunity to work for status
and recognition for service we take them as they come we do not judge them for
anything they may have done or failed to do in the past.
We do not excommunicate them if they fail to live up to our standards of work
or conduct what we do is accept them as individuals and put them to work.
We ask them for help and who can resist
that another
project build a new parking area for a community center for services not a training
program for future employment
but it does give the opportunity to learn something of new skill work projects are
referred from many sources chiefly from social agencies the departments of Public
Health
and Public Welfare The Visiting Nurses Association the family services side
and others the entire youth the service program has been made possible through
generous help from the church groups businessmen school and civic authorities
and private as well as public agencies.
The boys of youth the service of help many elderly
and handicapped people with home jaws and repairs they cannot manage themselves
when this project started. I figured that if what I believe.
Is true then people who have known bitterness and despair
and frustration will have every bit as much human understanding as the most
enlightened people supposedly enlightened people that there were around.
Many Spanish speaking people live here
and now these over near San Jose they use a service project help finish a classroom
in the church to be used for English class sure the boys messed up on a lot of
things when they're on their own but they get something done
and what they do is their achievement.
They can learn from it and be proud of the adult control
or adult guidance really means the imposition of authority and
that would kill the whole idea of boys know that this is their program and
that it's in their hands not ours.
They respond to that you know you can ask a person to do something
and you'll see a difference in the work.
Because if you ask me to do it I'll do a better job.
I'll do anything if somebody asked me.
But if you say do they do that if you don't do well you better do it.
Well I just won't do it
and I want to see what somebody is going to do if I don't do.
The boys of youth a service give of their strength and time and skill
and the community gives to
and both get back more than they give a sense of sharing
and the boys get something they greatly need tangible evidence of community
confidence in them expressed in terms of good materials in the fish
and in valuable equipment
and a good lunch on the job is a pretty well understood form of morals a part also.
The word is recognition.
The boys of youth for service work hard without pay most of them have very little
themselves yet they volunteer repeatedly to help other people in need recognition
and community support become very important to maintain morale a little publicity
for work.
Well done is small payment by the community for services generously given a party
was organized to celebrate the first hundred work projects completed in spite of
some initial opposition concerning law
and order a party did go off quite smoothly after all
enjoyed by several hundred youths for service but there's a prince
and their date the
only one slight mishap as reported a policeman and how Lost is back.
Ground.
A council of youth clubs from all parts of the city.
Developed directly from the contacts made on work projects.
The boys themselves decided they wanted a common meeting ground where they could
make just differences between the clans before they blow up in the rumble.
They also wanted to promote social affairs
and special projects on a city wide basis.
Both prestige and security were involved in belonging to the organisation.
One of the first council projects developed in support of the National Youth March
for integrated schools held in Washington D.C. In April nineteenth fifty nine.
The boys and youth for service know
that integration is not just the struggle of American Negroes for equality
but it's linked with the fight against discrimination of all newly arrived minority
groups one hundred years ago the Irish made up less than one third of the
population of New York.
But they were charged with over two thirds of the arrests
that were newcomers then today the broader Ricans the Mexicans of Pacific
and Oriental peoples the newcomers the youth the service Council raise the money to
send a delegate to Washington.
The only one sent by a San Francisco youth organization
and he carried petitions gathered by many other groups as well with over six
thousand signatures
and still in America.
Some people are treated like newcomers in their own native country we call them
Indian This is the Laytonville Ranch area of the POMO Indian tribe in the Redwood
Forest one hundred miles north of San Francisco.
One of the largest used to service projects with the building of a bridge across
the river.
Bid on this reservation to give the Indians access to a large section of their land
previous They cut off during the rainy season.
A lot of people get confused about this you for service thing they tend to lump
people into categories
or groups there are people who think of youth for service as a youth serving agency
purely in terms of Juvenile Delinquency Prevention. Well if it works that way.
That's fine but that's not our primary focus. That's.
Not what we're here for accepting individuals.
That's what makes the whole thing meaningful. When it comes right down to it.
We have no political axe to grind no religious axe to grind.
No social acts or anything except
that we are trying to reconcile differences between people
and that's what this whole project is about reconciling differences as well as
doing something useful.
We have a choice in dealing with these boys of continuing the old community policy
of suspicion surveillance rejection and with the usual results.
All we can take a new look at the man our own attitudes
and start to assume our just obligation as citizens
and helping them achieve recognition
and responsibility in the community use the service offers one way to work toward
this end.
Well the bridges built use for service.
Nobody least of all the friend thinks this program is a cure all for anything if it
does mean something it'll be what the boys make it meet with our help.
