Sludy Now, Pay Later, OK With Teen-Agers By EUGENE GILBERT I Mike Saunders, 16, Lvnchburg, College is so important to youlVa., vowed: "I would co to col- hich school students that most of you would even dive into debt in order to attend. For years it has been possible for some young people to study now and pay later by arranging loans from colleges or from af fluent friends or family. Now New York state has placed college with- tne economic reach of many lege under almost any reasonable conditions." One of our surveys shows that 73 per cent of the country's young people have to go to college and 69 per cent intend to pay part of the high cost of a higher educa tion. Now 87 per cent tell us thev think teen-agers should share the more students by authorizing sav-1 costs which may run as high a ings nanus in me state to otter 52.UOU or even S3.000 a year, them loans. These are to be paidj Matthew Shedd, 17, Norwalk. back after graduation. j Conn., said, "The parents have Seventy - three per cent of a had it hard enough supporting us cross - country sampling of 951 ! for 18 years." And Wayne Gilbert- young people loudly applauded the New York plan. But, they hastened to add, teen agers do realize that for every debt there's a day of reckoning. They are not wild about ALL de ferred payment programs. For example, fewer than half would like to have a credit card. But a bank loan for something as important in today's world as college is another matter. Their young minds focus on the educa tion and not on the debt. Rtady To Shoulder Debt "The amount borrowed would be small compared to what it's giving you," in the opinion of Rcgina En nis, 17, Macon, Ga. But Ross Gibson, 18, La Vale, Md., demurs. "I don't think it is good because it means the boy or girl will be starting in life with a debt to pay." Eighty-seven per cent of the teen agers say they, personally, would be willing to borrow to go to col lege. Ronald Wolff, 18, Seattle, took the financial view, "This is an investment which pays the high est dividends." son, 18, Austin, Minn., feels "A person who is given a free ride wont appreciate it as much as someone else." But Thomas Fer rcbee, 17, Keyser, W.Va., belicvts college is hard enough for the stu dent without adding financial wor ries. Not Good Risks A young person's loan financing college would be paid back after he became a full-lime wage earner. But what about a credit card in the hands of a teen-ager? Our 951 young people took a long loojc at themselves and decided they really don't constitute a very good credit risk. Nevertheless, 51 per cent of the girls and 33 per cent of the boys said they'd like to have a credit card. "Sometimes I see articles I like, but do not always have money with me," explains lone Handc land, 18, Austin, Minn. But Mike Hannontrce says, "I'm afraid I would lose my head and go wild." As Patty Grcenwalt, 16, Annan- dale. Va., put it, "Without a credit 'such financing were the only way card, if you don't have it, you can t spend it. QUESTIONS 1. Do you think young people should share the cost of college ed ucation with their parents? i 2. Would you borrow money and pay it back after graduation if 1 you could go to college? 3. What do you think of the New York plan? 4. Would you like to have a cred it card? 5. What do you think of credit cards for teen-agers? 6. What would you use it for? ! fodmifc Youtk I . 8. 1961- week. New on the list this week is U.S. Bonds' recording of "School Is Out". This is perhaps the hottest recording in the country and it has the greatest potential of becoming the next No. 1 record. This week it is No. 14. Also new on the list: "Wooden Heart" by Joe Dowell I moved into the No. 18 spot. "Mi chael" by The Highwayman is No. 19. "A Tear" by Gene McDaniels moves to No. 20. Out pick of the week: "When We Get Married" by the Dream Lovers. We think this recording could become a tremendous hit. It has the teen age appeal and that "old" sound. It sounds a bit like "Daddy's Home." From our teen reporters through out the country, here is a list of records to watch for: Cory Martin. 15. of Miami Beach, Kla., picks Johnny Mathis' record ing of "Should I Wait". Says Cory. This Last Two Week Week Weeks Top Records Of The Week Brenda Lee holds the top spot "Should I Wait" is a terrific song; again this week with "Dum Dum ". I think it's one of his best." Chubby Checker's "Let's Twist I Ava llavden, 17, Boston, Mass., Again" remains in the No. 2 spot. I told us about a record which is in Curtis Lees "Pretty Little Angel 'the Top Ten in Boston. It has a Eyes" took H16 biggest jump of I most unusual title and she says the week to No. 6 from No. 16 last: that all the teen-agers are listen ing and buying it. Its title, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavor (on The Bedpost Overnight)" by Lonnic Donegan. It could turn into a national hit. Bob Hernon, 16, Los Angeles, Calif., tells us to be on the look out for "Lover's Island" by the Blue Jays. It's very big out on the West Coast. Many teen-agers have told us to watch out for these records: "What A Sweet Thing That Was-A Thing Of The Past" by the Shirclles. These two could make the list next week. If we had a list of the top 25, they both would be in it this week. "Runaround" by the Regents. This group who scored so well with "Barbara Ann" is doing very well with this recording. "Amor" by Ben E. King, will probably be King's third consecu tive Top Ten record, the other two being "Spanish Harlem" and "Stand By Me." Five Marine Enlistees Reported By Recruiter The Marine Corps Rccuiting station in Roseburg announced to day that five Douglas County young men have enlisted into various Marine Corps programs. Enlisting were: David L. Robins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Robins. Roseburg, 120 day delay! program: George K. Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.lisha J.

Song ar.d Recording Star Tue., Aug 'The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore, Storms Cause Crop Damage Weather again was blamed for crop damage this year. Cold, wet spring weather slashed into early berry yields, but later crops suf fered little or no damage, said Sirs. Elvera Horrcll, agricultural economist for Oregon State Col lege, in a report today. Raspberry picking is ' about completed in Western Oregon with the crop some 800,000 pounds be hind last year's total of 10.4 mil lion pounds. Black raspberries were even further behind with 2.5 million pounds delivered to proc essors compared to 1960's 3.7 mil lion pounds. Red raspberries brought from 33 to 14 cents a pound and the black raspberries were generally 2.1 cents. Himalayas will begin moving to market this week as the early blackberry season draws 1o a close, Mrs. Horrell said. Prices ranged from 10 to 13 cents last week with Chehalcms bringing mostly 10 cents. Marions were 11 cents with a few at 12 cents, while Cascades brought 11 to 12 cents a pound. Processors are ad vancing 9 cents a pound on Him alayas in some areas, she said. This year's boysenberry crop is ahout the same as last year's with 3.9 million pounds delivered so far. Prices were steady at 14 cents a pound. Loganberries are selling to proc essors at 9.i to 10 cents a pound. Blueberries were unsettled at 15 cents from a few processors. A strong local demand in the I Yakima area last week accounted ' for a clean-up of the Red Haven peaches, Mrs. Horrcll said. Due to start in the next few weeks arc Hales and Elberta varieties. The Washington Peach Growers' Bargaining Association has set the asking price to processors for West Douglas Fair Scheduled Aug. 20 Western Douglas County Fair and Timber Show will be held Aug. 20, directors have announced. Formerlv the Smith River Fair, the fair will be held at the Grange Hall Fairgrounds on Smith River. This year the event has been ex panded to include a timber show. Products rnd skills of the timber industry will be displayed along with soil and homcmaking prod ucts. The limber show, directors said, will not overshadow the traditional aspects of the fair such as agriculture and homcmaking hut will help provide a fuller ap preciation of the county's natural resources. Fair Board chairman is Edna Peck, Mary Wcist is secretary and directors are Coleman Borders, Bob Sund, Bolin Morris and Do loris Crook. Premium lists for the fair are now available. M.J.B.
