Children Are Left Alone Rev. John S. Coffman, who is in charge of the Bethesda Mis- sion at Harrisburg, spoke to the lotarians on “Juvenile Delin- quency” at the regular Tuesday dinner meeting of the Rotary Club held at Hostetter’s. “Juvenile delinquency has always been with us”, stated Rev. Coffman. “The previous cause was during the depression days when money was scarce and little food on the table’, he said. Rev. Coffman then stated that today mother and father are too busy and children are left to shift for themselves. The par- ents buy a home and mother goes to work to help meet the payments which leaves little time for the children, “If children are left to shift for themselves, how in the world can parents expect their children to know what is right and what is wrong. This is the factor that leads to juvenile de- linquency,” he stated. Rev. Coffman closed his talk with the statement that “love is necessary in the building of a happy home.” eerie li ses RAZING OLD PARSONAGE Mr. Paul Martin, Florin con- tractor, has begun operations leading to the removal of the old Florin E.
