People who hear her either
go wild about Nina Simone or
can't stand her. Nobody

piano playing has been de-
scribed as q mixture Of jazz,

FoIIout

Upon hearing about the i'm
portance Of fallout shelters
for our survival, I have be-
come interested in this sub
ject. I personally feel that
we Americans should do
everything humanity possible
to promote peace between
ourselves and the Soviet
Union. so a need for fallout
shelters would never exist.
In the meantime. I feel
that our schools should in
form us all of the precaution-
airy measures which should be
taken in the event Of an
enemy attack.
Perhaps a special time,
maybe homeroom period,
could be designated as a time
to inform the students Of
measures to be taken. Since
this is a growing problem, I
would be very interested in
the viewpoints Of other teens.

RebuttoI

In regard to George Sobin's
letter (TEEN. September y
on the "glories of conServa-
tism." I disagree entirely
with him. My reasons are
listed below in answer to his
comments.
(A) He mentioned that
Until the advent of F. D. R.,
this country has always been
financially stable" his his
tory needs some brushing up.
Since 1929 we have not had
a depression worth remem-
boring. We have had recess
sions, and the only major
one of note Of I remember
correctly was during a con-
servative's reign of eight
years. Furthermore, the de-
preston Of 1929 was pre-
coded by a depression in the
early 1900s. The great de-
preston 1920 happened
during Hoover's administra-
ton, who would probably be
considered as a conservative.
Is this the great pioneer
spirit?" Il do not mean to
ridicule the Presidents, If 1t
has sounded that way it is
only because I have tried to
show George Sobin why in
my opinion his letter was
based on a weak foundation.D
F. D. R. brought salvation
with his reforms. He raised
our standard of living. he
gave new jobs, he gave us
the Social Security Act. And
unless George Sobin is a die
hard he will have to admit
that the Social Security Act
is a good thing.

suggestion to the readers of
Play Back.
Although classical music is
almost a bad word among
most teen-agers, I think
everyone owes it to himself
to at least try to enjoy some
fine music, such as is found
on station WGMS or in a
library or record store.
I am now in college, and
I wish that I had become
acquainted. with classical mu-
sic long before. I think in
many ways fine music is in
the same relation to rock and
roll as a good book is to a
comic magazine. I hope no.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
l am II. Our family Is
large, and money Is scarce
around our house. My sis
tiers, brothers and / do not
have lots of clothes and
the extra things which
some of our friends have.
I 60 with a very nice boy,
and we double date q lot
with another couple. The
girl, Jean, is always we'll
dressed, so she can relax
and doesn't have to worry
about how she looks.
My clothes are always
clean and neat, but they
never measure up to hers.
Therefore, I am always
worried about my appear
ance, and I feel tense.
When I told my boy friend
the reason why / would
rather not double date with
this couple he said, That's
silly, don't worry about it.
You always look great to
me-" But 1 feel unc0mfOrt-
able around Jean, even
though l like her. I've even
wondered IL I'm jealous Of
her. Can you suggest some
thing that will help?
SANDRA.
Usually, it is difficult for
males to understand femi-
nine ideas about wearing ap-
parel. If you look great" to
your boy friend he, probably,
is not even aware of Jeans
extensive land expensivel
wardrobe, but I can under
stand how you feel. Perhaps
you are a little envious rather
than jealous of her clothes
and self-assurance. Having
a fine wardrobe is desirable,
but it doesn't always mean
that q girl is we'll dressed.
When it comes to clothes.
good taste and a little in
genuity is all-important.
There are many little, mex
pensive things you can do to
perk up your clothes so it
will appear that you have
more than you really do. The
addition of a pretty belt, COL
lar or scarf can change a
dress completely. Mixing and
matching outfits gives the
illusion Of a larger wardrobe,
too. An inexpensive, striped
or figured blouse worn with
a solid-colored skirt Of the
same shade can be made to
look like a dress.
If nom has a sewing ma
chine, why not learn to sew?

cut this off, we must become
liberalized in our views and

build our education funds,

become richer ourselves, and
to make ours a rich econ

who are always complain

/ think many teens are
trying to grow up too fast.
They want privileges with
out responsibilities. They
don't even want to help
around the house. They
want to stay out too late
at night and that's when
they often get inc trouble.
In our neighb0rh0od the

and movies.

shake, they are pretty
great after all and we'd be

them" Sure, they may get
unreasonable at times, but
who doesn't? 1 know I do
even though 1 try not to.
Don't you agree with me,
Mrs. Kicker, that many
teen-agers exaggerate their
tales of woe about their
parents?
LANE.
1t is true that some young
sters exaggerate their parent
problems. Often it is when
the youngsters themselves
are at fault and being I'M
reasonable. They think their
parents are mean because Of
restrictions and discipline.
But, FAIR parental guidance
is necessary to help a boy or
girl grow up to be a solid
citizen.
Unfortunately, some teen
ayers really DO have serious
parental problems. There are
inadequate parents who do
not set good examples for
their offspring to follow.
Some parents do not know.
or care, when their young
Sters come home. where they
60 or who they are with.
These are the parents who
spawn a large percentage Of
delinquentS. 1t is obvious
that your parents. and those
Of your friends, are doing a

preciate their good fortune.

you could make very attrac-
tive dresses, skirts and
blouses for less than half of
what it would cost to buy
them ready-made.
AS long as you are able
to dress appropriately for the
occasion, I suggest that you
do not refuse to double date
with Jean and her boy friend.
However. If the date is for an
affair which requires a dresSy
dress and you have only a
blouse and skirt to wear, you
should not agree to 60. You
might look great" to your

/ don't really mean to- do

I'm writing to you be-
cause 1 now realize that /

preciate any explanation

lem, which has caused me

Since you obviously know
