Mrs. Siegel didn't want to

she found out that the youth

ber Of the National Honor

Of my own room. On week
ends I help around the
house, doing the things my
mother asks me to do.
My problem is that l get
no allowance at all. My
father says the reason is
because / don't do enough
work, and a few years ago
when he did give me an
allowance, it didn't work

Jackie.
When parents are finan-
cially able to give their
youngsters an allowance, I
believe it is much better than
paying them for routine
household chores which they
should help with anyway
when they are old enough.
If boys and girls have an
allowance, they should be
taught to budget it carefully.
In this, way, they gradually
learn the value of money and
how to handle it wisely. Since
you are only IA now, I Sus-
pect the allowance Dad gave

work out because you were
not mature and so perhaps
you. spent it foolishly. Now
that you are older I think he
should give you another
chance, if he can afford it.
AS for your young brother,
it does not seem fair for him
to be paid for doing yard
work when you, apparently,
are doing just as much work
inside the house-for moth
ing. To me it would seem
fairer to put you both on an
allowance, according to your
needs. However, you both
should continue to help
around the house.

this matter.
WONDERING GIRLS.
Sorry, but I agree with
your teacher. In my opinion,
it all comes down to the
question of having a neat
appearance, not only in
school but anywhere in
public. We all should try to
look as we'll groomed as we
can. Obviously no girl, or
woman, looks her best with
clips in her hair, so you see.
I think clips should not be
worn in public. Poor taste and
sloppy personal habits should
be discouraged in boys and
girls, starting at an early
age. Your teacher is only
trying to get this important
fact over to you.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
1 am a 14-year-Old boy.
I've met a lot of girls, but
there is one special girl,
Pam, whom l like very
much. When we meet in
the halls at school we al
ways say "Hi," and once
in a while l see her walk

it be all right for me to

to ask Pam, point-blank, if
she likes you. You see, ask

ton puts her in a very un-
comfortable Spot-eSpecially
if she does not know you
very we'll. If she doesn't par
ticularly care for you, she
probably would not want to
hurt your feelings by saying
so.
On the other hand, even
if she happened to consider
you "the most" she would
hesitate to admit it. Since

used to bring grain to be

The teen ayers have

these dance steps, they are

1t all started with drag
Evening star., 1961-12-29

It's not the same old grind.
Poolesville teen-agerS have
seen to that.
These teen-agers have lit
orally been through the mill
to get a teen center in the
conservative Upper Mont
gomery County community
where once a Cub Scout troop
couldn't thrive.
Some 20 of these Mary
land teen-agers made over

fact that the Cub Scout and
Boy Scout troops folded in
Poolesville after q few
months"
While an undercurrent of
remarks about the potential
club circulated around town,
the teen-agers went ahead
with their plans. For a year
they stated a thrift shop in
the town. They made $400.
The Siegels became aware
of the teen-agers' determiI
nation and offered them
Darby's Mill that they owned,
across the road from the
Poolesville High School-if
they'd remodel it. The teen
ayers did.
III never forget that
wall" says Pat Yates. point
ing to the green wall at the
end Of a 30-foot room where
now the teen-agers dance.
ITS SO large when you've
got a bucket of green paint
to go on it,"
A brown-speckled tile floor
covers the old concrete floor
of the room that once was
a hardware store that stocked
farm machinery.
There used to be rows and
rows of shelves, stacks and
stacks of old lumber and
piles of dirt" recalls Mike
Croft, ID. The mill hadn't
been in use for nine years.
And what the teen-agers
couldn't do themselves, they,
talked people into doing for
them, like putting up parti-
tions and a roof over the en-
trance.
In spite of its many rus
tic aspects, the Potomac VAL
ley Teen Club now is a thriv-
ing recreational center. AS
the clubs constitution, writ
ten by the 80 members them
selves, states:
The purpose Of the Teen
Club is not merely the en-
tertainment of youth, al
though entertainment will be
part of the program, but is
the providing of opportuni-
ties for social growth and
character development"
The clubs leaders are Mike;
Pete Staub, a freshman at
Davis and Elkins (W. Va
College. the vice president;
Abbie Cochran. the secretary,
and Danny Yates, treasurer,
both Poolesville High seniors.
Besides dancing, the teen
ayers are learning to play
an old card game called pitch.
Oddly enough, the old timers
say. it was at the old mill
that Poolesville men known
by the team name Of THE
Groundhogs," used to gather
for pitch games with other
Montgomery County town
teams.
The teen-agers already
have a soft-drink bar with
stools plus hi-fi equipment
and microphone. And while
waiting for their chess,
checker and ping pong tables
and shuttle board game to
arrive, they are busy giving
dances for the benefit CT Or
phans and planning other
CnaTlGdDle events.
They're also busy checking
their own mail box, Box 14l,
at the Poolesville post office,
for membership applications.
The clubs overall goal is to
raise at least $1,000 to build
a bigger teen center,
And what do the conserva-
tive Poolesville residents say
now about this flourishing
teen club?
Mike Straw puts it this
way:
We'll, if they haven't
swung around, at least
they've shut up about U.S."

wanted to pay the price Of nos

for him. Gods care for us is love

as a result of this decide the cost
IS too great to became involved
An important question to ask
yourself at this Christmas Time is
how much has my concern for
Gods plan for life cost me. At the
time that we are thinking on how
much God has done for us let Us
also consider what we are doing
for God How much has your
Christian Commitment cost you
There is Il close relationship be-
tween how much Of the load W.
bear and how much we care.
If YOU are the KIND of person
who mas not been as concerned a.;
you should have for the Christian
Way of life because you are afraid
of the price you might be called
on 10 pay, please think on the fol-
lowing statements. Think on how
much you are already paying or
have already paid or will finally
pay for not caring; for not being
concerned TO any great extent. If
we really care for something it
does usually cost us, but in some
areas of life, not to care costs a
great deal more.
Think of the broken homes that
are the result of people not caring
enough to remember the sacred
VOWS of Holy Matrimony
Think of the broken PERSONAL
ties that result largely from parents
not caring enough to pay the price
of being Christian Fathers and
Mothers.
Consider also the amount of
time and resources that are being
expended in an effort to prepare
us to destroy our neighbors as
compared to time and resources
we are using in an effort to lead

because we do not care enough to

Remember the words of our Lord,
He that would save his life shall
lose it, and he that loses his
life for my sake and the Gospel
shall find it," Here we are being
told that if we do not care for the
message of life that comes through
Christ then we will pay the price
of eternal death. Not to care will
cost us our life

ITO CARE COSTS. BUT NOT TO
CARE COSTS MORE"
If one really cares, if he is really
concerned for something it usually
costs him. Ask a father or mother
who really care for their family
and you will find that they pay d
price in time. energy. self sacrifice
and resources.
Many OF those who cared for
freedom paid the last full meas
urc of devotion, they gave their
life.
And there is the price that has
been paid by those who have been
concerned enough about the CON
ditior Of people in the world to
dare to do something about it. The
Christmas Story is one that tells
ua ,hat Gods care for you and me
was so great that he sent his very
hest, his Son The Gospel of John
tells us that God so loved that he
gave God cares for his people and
that care cost him as he suffered
With his Son on the cross.
The baby that was born in
Bethlehem grew to be the kind OF
man that was concerned for the
people of the world. and we know
something of the price that ne
paid in heartache, suffering and
death on a cruel cross.
Stephen, the early church leader,
the disciples, the Apostle Paul.
John Huss and long list of others
stand as testimony to the fact
that to care costs.
This is why many do not dare
allow themselves to became in
volvcd. They are AFRAID that they
might begin to care and be called
upon to pay An illustration OF
this is a mother who knowing that
her baby could not live more than
a short time did not want to be-
come too involved because then il
would be much harder on her
when the tune came TO give up her
