It's true that we do aave gangsters, mob rule, and vio- ‘ence in many places in America, out I fail to see anything brave or, daring about a group of 15 to 17} year-olds cornering ‘some- 12 or 13| year-old boy and mistreating him, | whether it's spoiling his personal | \ppearance temporarily, or stealing from him, or forcing him to do something against his will or against he standards of his family. Equa]ly] infortunate is the mob psycnologyi vhich dictates that a boy is a sissy | or a poor sport if he objects to such | -reatment. | I hope that the pure'ns of Juneau, boys will give Chief Hulk backing in | -his matter, since the police force | s inadequate to cope with it, as may | be the schools. If it's an old Juneau tradition, maybe it’s one of those things better discarded in favor of | the democratic principle of the big | arotecting the small, instead of pick- | ing on them. 1950 would be a good | year to toss it on the scrap heap, perhaps in honor of the 100,000 or ;0 American big brothers who are sweating it out in Korea, trying to prove that nations can't bully one another either in a free world, I recommend the Police Chief’s point of view to all young men who have regard for the principles of democracy and fair play.
