Young People Today Arc “Going To The Dogs”
(P.A.) DUNEDIN. This Day. “Young people today are going to the dogs,” declared Cr J. R. Braithwaite at last night’s meeting of the St Kilda Borough Council. “.I do not like using those words, but they express what I feel,” Cr Braithwaite continued. “There are disgraceful happenings round the city streets at night time. The best way to prevent vandalism, I am sure, is to try to lead the people along the right path. St Kilda should show the way to the City by suggesting that someone be employed to get these youths off the streets, by giving free entertainments.” The Mayor, Mr W. Rutherford, said little vandalism existed in St Kilda. He believed however, that there was some truth in Cr Braithwaite’s remarks. After a suggestion had been put forward, that a round-table conference be held with the City Council and other local bodies. It was decided to write first to the City Council and bring the subject of vandalism and its prevention or cure before it.
