A MESSAGE TO JACKSON PARENTS
By Sarah Harvey
On Monday and Tuesday nights, November 26-27, the
Colored Skating Rink, a new, modern building that will be
used mainly for dancing, skating and wholesome recreation
for both young and old who prefer these particular forms
of entertainment, will be opened.
Because a large number of persons who attend the al'-1
fairs given in the Skating Rink are young people, your sons
and daughters, those persons who own and operate the build
ing as a dance hall feel that you should be given the follow
ing assurance of their safety and well-being while they are
inside of the building.
building'has ‘been made as near fire-proof as possi
> ble. There are all the doors and exits as required by law
and at every affair, we personally assure you that law and
order will be enforced by officers who have in the past shown
an interest in your boys and girls that has been friendly j
and helpful.
When your boys and girls attend dances or any other!
kind of entertainment given within the Skating Rink they j
will come in contact with the same boys and girls whom they
associate daily at their schools, clubs and other public gath
erings. They dance with the same dance crowd that attend
the dances given at Jackson College, Lanier High, USO and
even in your homes. We who mcyiage the Skating Rink
know that nothing goes on within its walls while your chil
dren are there that can’t and doesn’t go on within the walls
of the places mentioned above. ^
The Skating Rink wds not erected to compete with any
of the places mentioned above, or with any other dance hall
that may be erected, we will not use any special enticement
to get your children to the dances that are given there, but
we do intend to keep it, the building, and the affairs given
there, clean and wholesome, and if you care to see how your
children conduct themselves at dances, we invite vou to I
come to every dance, buy a ticket and maybe let your son
or daughter teach you to jitterbug or you can teach them
the old-fashioned are of waltzing. Now if your children
ciipn't \tfant you to attend. dances with them, or you are too
busy to fake time out to visit the only place that is provided
for your children to get together for wholesome entertain
ment, and we mean dancing, then that is entirely your and
your children’s affair.
But, parents, we only want you to "come out, see how
dances are conducted at the Skating Rink and then tell those
groups that are daily talking about juvenile delinquence and
never doing anything about juvenile delinquency to the ex
tent that they will spend a little tim eor money to provide
some place where your young folk can jmeet and enjoy them
selves, to either “put up or shut up.”
