BY HAL BOYLE

DENVER lR.-There is a girl
here ! have known since her
birth, and she was so small then
that her mother now tells her.
Il could put you in a teacup the
day you were born"
But now she is tall. pretty
dark-haired young lady who has
reached the tremulous teens.
What is it like to be a teen
ager? l asked her.
IN tell you'll you don't use
my real name" she said.
What shall | call ycu, dear"
Call me June Badger-that is
my favorite imaginary name.
used to dream my name was June
Badger, and that | would grow
up and marry man named Har-
ry Pearson.
"All right, June" said. Is it
fun to be teen-ager?"
Il should say not" she said
firmly. There are millions of
problems. GrownuDs look back and
think they would like to be in
their teens again. But they forget
all the problems"
what is the biggest problem?"
Boys" she said fatty. The
ones our age that we'd like TO
date prefer to date older girls.
We don't have as much poise and
aren't as good dancers.
What does a teen-ager want
most?" | asked.
ITO be popular" said June.
land you know what the real Sc
cret of success in this world is?
It's to have plenty of soft drinks
in your refrigerator. Then you al
ways have plenty of friends.
"Of course, there are all kinds
of ways to be popular. But it is
very unwantful to be too smart
to be called a brain. That's def
nitely diScouth. "
A teen-ager has to keep up on
his slang. At the moment some.
thing that used to be known as
the cats whiskers is now called
sly, really neat, the real george,
or deadly boo.
But nobody says turn blue
anymore" said June. That is
very dull. l hate that glop."
What is glop?"
"Glop means systematically, g"
said June. What else could 1t
mean"
How about parents? Are they
much of a problem?
"Teen-agers worry a great deal
about their parents" said June,
Especially if the parents spend
too much time on social activities
away from the home.
Parents don't understand you
too we'll sometimes. They don t
realize their children should be
allowed to do what other children
their age do-that teen-agers want
to be part of a group.
And parents also are often diff
fIcult about clothes. They think
they know how their children
should be dressed. but they don't.
Il know one boy who is unpopu-
lar because he wears corduroy
pants instead of blue jeans, like
the other kids OF course his per
sonahty isn't so hot either
June also brought up the fact
many parents don't realize the i'm
portance of telephones to teen
ayers.

What's she Truth Abous Youth?
SEX is only part of the larger question of youths moral
and spiritual attitude. BY the time had completed our
nationwide survey we convinced that the overall picture
of American youth is heartening indeed.
That the coming generation is setting the highest kind OF
standards for itself is shown recent surveys which show
todays youth to be far conservative tolerant and

ar ALL the worries parents have about teenagers, the
worst is the sex question The truth is that sex is becom
ing an increasingly difficult problem for teen-agers to
handle. But the problem is by no means new one.
In the of our survey we talked to 94-year-oid
great grandmother who grew up the Illinois paies in the

Early sex surveys often based on saky methods OF
research One conducted in 1916 by courageous head
mistress one of the better womens colleges revealed that
every one of the 325 young on that campus was

ers reported that bloat did not
occur even when almost pure stands
of birdsfoot trefoil were grazed by
sheep. On the other hand, seed for
the legume is hard to get, the plant
is slow to establish itself and spring
growth is somewhat slower than
that of other 1egumes, they said.
Weed Chemical
Experiments with a new weed
killing chemical, GNU, were also
studied by the group. This chemical,
not yet on the market, appears to
be much more toxic than the soil
sterilants now commonly used,
according to r. L. Warden, extern
sion weed control specialist. In two
years of college tests, GNU has been
extremely toxic to plant growth
when applied in relatively small
amounts. It also remains toxic in
the soil for some time.
The chemical has controlled
quackgrass when applied at rates
as low as 10 pounds per acre and
has killed Canada thistle, leafy
spurge, wild morning glory, white
top and other perennial weeds with
only slightly higher applications.
