Teenagers like music. They like
music in all of It's various forms.
From Boogie Woogie to fugues. And
they can take their music dished out
to them in a hundred different YER
sions and still like it.
We have heard many exclaim that
teenagers are unappreciative of the
finer things in the different fields
of classical music. This Is a gross
misstatement. For while browsing
through many music stores we Gis-
covered that the records-besides
swing. which is the teenagers real
love"--wfich were best sellers to
the youngsters, were Tschaikowsky,
Bach, Strauss, Grieg, Ravel and De-
busy. Upon further questioning
the employees at the record stores
said that the teenagers were pur-
chasing loads of Chopin and Gersh-
win since the moving pictures con-
nected with their lives have Eeen
shown.
Many popular bandleaders have
also proclaimed their dislike for
the teenagers' boisterousness and
loud approval of their music. The
bandleaders should realize that it
Is during these formative years that
all types Of music get their holds
upon their followers. The teenager
is easily swayed, SO it is up to the

give them the sort of constructive
swing and classical music that is
needed to make them continue being
the fans that they are now.

could anything be more typical OF
our modern living? The teenagers
of today are going through a rough
period-they, in reality, have had
no peacetime childhood In which
to have life and its varied expe-
riences administered to them in
small doses. This swing music is
to them form of self-expression.
There is nothing profound in that
statement. Tt is true. Right now
it Is swingi In due time they will
recognize more fully the other won-
derful music that is their heritage.
No one will have to push it upon
them-they will of their own accord
discover what they prefer in music.

hard swing fans-we went record
listening and came up with these
platters that we think will add to
any collection of records. Big sellers

If they have been at room tempera-

failure with this recipe. My baby
was allergic to egg whites for long
time and I saved them in a jar in
the refrigerator until I had enough
for cake and they kept all right.
A real time saver when my baby
was on a formula was to mix the
water and dark sirup Cor dextri-
maltose) for a days feeding-divide
equally into the correct number of
bottles, cap and store in refrigera-
tor for the next day-and then pre-
pare the formula for the same day.
The following day all I needed to do
was dip a funnel in boiling water
and add milk to the already pre-
pared bottles.
To sterilize one bottle hurriedly it
can be inverted in the mouth of
tea kettle, allowing the steam to
go into the bottle.

Are home freezers very expensive

CLEANING STOVE BURNERS?

I have been reader of the RCH
column for some time and have
found some valuable assistance a
number Of times. However, I would
like to know how to clean gas stove
burners and pan which have be-
come caked with grease. The pan
of blue enamel covers the top of
the stove with the exception of
burners. I nave tried steel wool
and soap, which helps, but not too
satisfactorily.
Also would placing cloth saturated
with ammonia in oven for half an
hour help clean the accumulated
grease from roasting, broiling, ETC.?
Any suggestions from the readers
would be greatly appreciated.
