WHEREAS, the people of the City of Wichita Falls have in the recent
past had their attention directed toward the behavior of a certain percentage
of the younger members of the community , this behavior being of an unsavory
and unworthy character , and these same younger members having been variously

of society , and ,

instances been unduly excessive and misleading, causing the public mind to
fix upon all our younger citizens the character and description belonging
properly only to the small group guilty of delinquent behavior , to the great
prejudice, injustice, and abasement of this age group as a whole; and ,

from time to time of the more positive and desirable qualities of the great
