They are serving more than 10,000 boys. cause they don't become antisocial enough to get in trouble with the law," he said.

The Jacksonville Big Broth-v 1 1 .1 1 a I ers is one of the oldest in the learn the boy's interests, and do the matching." Matching is extremely impor-' tant, according to Foster, because it would be difficult, he said as an example, to put a wealthy man with a poor boy "unless that man has had a personal experience with poverty." The case workers then ask the Big Brothers to spend a four-hour period a week with the boy, take him away from his own environment, for an afternoon or an evening.

They often spend more time to- gether. Communication is an essential, too. "Any man who is a healthy, well adjusted, good citizen -who can communicate him- self to a fatherless boy is do-, ing that boy good because primarily between the ages of and 14 a boy patterns himself after a father figure." "During this time he learns what a man is all about," the Jacksonville case worker with Big Brothers said. "And because some man believes in him, a boy will blossom." Foster continued. "We insist that a mother notify the organization immediately if an appointment Is not kept so that rejection will not occur." "Third, the Big Brother might become involved with the Little Brother's family.

Since his relationship is only with the boy, we orient men not to get into the mother-father role of discussion problems." "Basically," he stressed as a Big Brothers spokesman, "our program is one of preventing delinquency, not curing it." "The whole purpose," he insisted, "is to make good citizens in the future." "But he can only become one if he knows what a good citizen is," Foster explained. "In general he can learn by school. But he can't learn by example and imitation except for a one man, one boy relationship. "You don't work on volume you get the right man for the right boy," he elaborated.

By GLORIA PAUL Tribune Staff Writer "What about Big Brothers for our boys?" The question was asked by 'single' parents, mothers hoping to find a way to provide a father image for their fatherless sons. THE MOTHERS had already determined in group discussions with a case worker that, by virtue of being mothers rather than fathers, they are unable to fulfill this need themselves. Big Brothers, they learned, is a unique child welfare service which combines the friendship of a volunteer (a man) with skill of a social worker to help a boy who lacks the guidance of a father. It is a national organization set up on an agency basis. There is none in Hillsborough County.

The Jacksonville Big "Secondly they gain a healthy attitude toward the mother," Foster "Between the ages of 8 and 14, especially toward the latter, they begin to resent mom and compete with her; they sometimes fight back." "Then the boys get a healthy self-image," he said. "They don't have to show off to gain attention. They become good parts of the group; they get better grades; they play ball better. They participate better." What are the pitfalls? "For one thing, unless tha program is carried out under professional guidance, men ho are perverted will try to get in as Big Brothers you need a professional person to screen them out," he said. "This is another danger: a boy abandoned by his own father might again be abandoned by a Big Brother," country, launched by a juvenile court judge and others in 1914, 10 years after the first was founded in New York City.

Huxley Foster, case worker there, said the Boys Service Council in Jacksonville provides group therapy through Boys Club and 'one man, one boy' counseling through Big Brothers. BOTH OPERATE under a combined Community Chest budget of $42,000 with Big Brothers allocated not more than $20,000 to provide two staff members (a director-case worker and case worker) and secretary who keeps records on everything. Has the program been successful? Only two boys out of 500 over a four-year period have been involved in any court trouble, he reported.
