II like to find something
which will please others and

year-old Jane Manning of
Clark's Summit, Pa.
Many Of the Youngsters

the thought of giving. while
the enjoyment of gift-wrap-

creative.

May Rascigno. l6, OF Brook

A surprising number of
teen-agers have regular part
time jobs. They simply use
part of their savings for
Christmas.
Most Of the 43 per cent
who expect to get holiday
jobs will work as statesmen
or saleSgirls. Some expect
to pick up shopping money
by helping with cnores at
home. baby sitting, and run
ming errandS. Several of the
boys plan to work as delivery
boys.
Mothers will get most of
the gifts given by Leen-agers
this Christmas, while fa-
theirs are a close second.
Sisters outnumber brothers
as gift recipients 81 per
cent to 48. Only about one
fourth Of the youngsters will
give to uncleS. aunts and
cousins. Almost half will
give gifts to friends, boys

Joseph Cox, IA, of Flush

Christmas, nearly every
ones favorite holiday, has
become a time of hustle, and
for teen-agerS as much as
adults.
Interestingly. however, it
apparently holds more ex-
citement for the girls than
the boys.
We questioned 200 young
sters-l00 girls and 100 boys
bout their Christmas
shopping plans. And it was
the girls who were doing most
of the planning.
In an earlier survey, teen
ayers voted Christmas their
favorite holiday. And in this
one, three of every four said
they enjoy Christmas shop
ping and gift-wrapping. But
while the girls we're almost
unanimous. only one in every
two boys said they get a kick
out of these holiday chores.
We found that most young
Sters-again more girls than
boys - have been saving
money to buy gifts. Most of
the boys plan to get holiday
jobs to finance their shop
ping trips.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
am a 16-year-Old girl.
Up until now / have been
quite happy. I've been 60
Ing steady with a boy for
five months who is very
cute and popular. I've been
told / am cute and a lot

problem Is that i have to

been self-cOnSciOus about
wearing them but now I've
developed a real complex
about II.
One day my boy friend
and l were walking and
we passed a group of girls
who were strangers to us.

he do any better than

Since then a girl 1 know

GENE
If you have real musical
talent, l think 1t would be
a serious mistake to give up
your violin lessons. However,
your school work is even more
important so I suggest that
you do your homework
FIRST and then practice
your music. Or, you could
break up your practicing
into two half-hour sessions.
Ordinarily this should not be
too heavy a schedule for a

youngsters we queried-6 per
cent of the boys and 20 per

the reason the girls outnum-

embroidery wheels. But there
