The Whole Town's Talking: Toledo, Iowa Part 2

our job to act as a community to prevent the problem from becoming serious Sam you agree with heard the scene whole town should get together and solve it drinking age in common Rex I think the recreation starts in the home I think the soonest the crafts would live with their children be with them all the time they would grow up to be just a wouldn't have a problem their own too much the rid of the thing in school that their activities in school give him a liability says bacillus they would go out and no inducing for themselves her brings up the proposition that they have families coming home they don't want their children will it's a tragedy because it's those parents had raised those children right those killer wouldn't say those fans wouldn't say we don't want those children may be so tickled to have them and glad to have them that they would be right with some live with them and be one of their one of their own they wouldn't they wouldn't say that when they say you have to have a recreation center verb comes off and fast to it well we need a 12 place we need to start 10,000 25,000 are a fifty-thousand-dollar home to put these children in will will not settle if we took these children of curb talk to you Bob they don't walk open the dorm throw them into that great place and shut the door will not settle our problem do you folks think it really does is we have a teenage problems I don't think we do because I think that we have the best in the nicest bunch of teenagers of any community could have we should be proud of them because we don't have we don't you can't get any Twitter voice or Twitter girls in these spaces where they say they're robbing and running around places where they hadn't thought of me I I think cuz if they were trained at home there they just wouldn't wouldn't have these such things to happen he says the community's responsibility to deal with this recreation problem Sam you say it's up to the family now I wonder what some of the recipes folks think about it whether the responsibility is with the community are with the family well I feel as though that kids around play-doh and my channel and the Navy tonzura very good kids and haven't been any trouble but if there isn't some recreation means put forth I feel it is a time to changing the these kids are level to get into trouble if you're something done and I've talked to the kids around school there and asked them what they thought should be done about it what they want and most I recommended me that we build put in a recreation center downtown and have a commercialized and have it run by someone and not to have a console on the students to make up the rules and have a greater commercial light and have a mouth bar and ice cream or anything just for the kids to go to to keep them off the street to put thing about although we have one idea someone else has gone well I think this is basically a parent's problem and perhaps a club that these children could go to and which they pay dues to help sponsor it and also be helped by the other organizations in Toledo would help in this problem but it lies entirely with the parents now they don't spend enough time with their children they it's too easy to toss them the keys to the car a Bioman old jalopy and say go on now don't bother me go on downtown Long down to the neighboring towns bowl all right that's fine until some some evening maybe you're going to be called down to the morgue to identify a dismembered body then it's going to be too late if your be easy after that to think of a lot of things I could have had my son or my daughter doing it wouldn't be hard to think of things after that the parents could help the children more I feel that their we know what everyone has worked together while great with the adults and adults of the teenagers and it cannot be started out on a very large scale whatever we do right off well I start left we've got to gradually build up and work together that's the main thing I think too many people trying here well they were all going idea we've got to learn to cooperate and we're also i think is too small to do any one thing by yourself home is to close the teenagers there have stuff and it is a computer problem as we have and i think between cooperation between the two times the teenagers of both towns and there's also both towns where we get lots farther an hour in an organized type of recreation this is Estevez I see youngsters and the older people all get together and work out this program on a property's basis and perhaps even take in the paint on the beach I think if we if everyone knew one another 50 test a Welsh along much better Oh No it's been proven invited well I'm gonna bring up a subject will be bought anyway another teen een I don't think that the kids can get together with the parents and run a successful business I think it's a there should be a commercial enterprise a commercial business Ted ever to run this because the commercial the kids won't like some of the rules but if it's the commercial man's place you can kick them out and their guys come back in here because it's going to be the Stila place to go and that we're as if it's the kids plate what are you gonna do with them are you going to set them back down some of your older folks how to have the answer to that mrs. Jones what do you think about that I think that young people today want to be individual but they also want to go with the game and sometimes they lose your individuality within that game I do not favor or do not see these a scrub will be a very permanent fixture I think those youth clubs are set up on it on a temporary basis and because ur is not very much depth to the program that can be administrator is administered I think that we should think a little bit further and talk about having a recognition recreational council in Toledo with a full representation of all organizations and clubs and of the young people and during the recreational problems from the slowpokes up I think we need to give opportunity we are people of the in a small town because we do not have a lot of the things that a large city has and I would like to suggest the council study the problem of little folks in three years on up through high school and even some of the older folks and i think that the council could have a very permanent basis in studying the need of tennis courts and swimming pools as well as something provided for this age group I agree they need something that we read the studies are you envision this recreation program something rather than just a problem of high school children opportunities you're going to take a law in and trap some the old folks that's in front of that recognition for magazine well I think that's some ideas from somebody up here a moment ago tightened yesterday via virtual vendors that some a visit man open a place and I seduced those hopes and vanishes malls and so forth and I assume the furniture back room for a pool and ping pong and oh I don't know maybe bowling dancing skating and whatnot and I think that's a beautiful idea from a teenager's point of view but I can't see any businessman going into that with any dream you
