That la why he desires to
carry the case' for youth' to the
legislative chambers ot Can-
berra. He feels that what ha
has done as a citizen can only
be furthered in a grand and
all-embracino way by the Gov
crament and that it is the Gov*

youngsters to the place where the
most good can be done.
There ts a very direct question
we Western Australians - bave a
habit of asking concerning - people

tions and that Is:
-What has he got out of itr*
That ia a question that J. J.
Simons invites.
In all his 30 years of work for
the youth of our country he has
not only refused any sort of re
ward but has frequently de-
voted his own private resources
tb. the cause. Thousands of
people will bear testimony to

Mr. Simons Ia managing director
of The Sunday Times," and if this
paper studied its own commercial
interests only, it would prefer thai
he remained in Perth instead ol
leaving.continuous contact with the
company's affairs to go to Canberra
. But "The Sunday ~ Times"
Would be hypocritical in its long
advocacy of youth interests if
. it did not support Mr. Simons
in his desire to champion youth
in the Federal House. We
would be lacking in patriotism
if we did not give him our
whole-hearted support.
J. J. Simons is standing as ar,
endorsed Nationalist for the Peril
seat in the House of Representa
Uves, and the election takes plac«
on Saturday next. October 23.
If they are earnest in their desiri

"The sunday Times" urges every
father and motlier irrespective DI
their party opinions to give tueif

We're all tired of merely hearln*.
that something-'should be done foi

out- monetary reward, has been
helping .youth for the past 30 years
We can now give him'the oppor
tunlty to do'something more In the
highest place of all, the Parliament
of our country. Three decades of
his life dedicated to the youth ot
the State are the proofs of his sin
cerity.
The needs of youth are the mos'
urgent of all to-day's problems.
