Yugoslav Youth Beginning
Break Away from Discipline
By NORMAN J. MONTELLIER
United Pren Correipondent
Belzrade U The word in
Yugoslavia is " rebatinko." But
any teen-ager anywhere would
recognize pedal-pushers and blue
jeans by any name.
The teen-agers of Yugoslavia
lend color and excitement to a
country notable for the drab
ness of adult dress. Otherwise,
Yugoslav students are only be
ginning to break the grip of a
traditional strict material disci
pline. Communism has only
barely dented family controls
over youth.
A 14-year-old vacationing stu
dent on a coastal boat swooping
in and out among the 1,000 is
lands along the Dalmatian coast
halted a hot jazz dance number
long enough to confess, "we
study classical music in school."
But Elvis Presley, Frankie Lane
and Doris Day are the big -stars
for the young people. Rock n'
roll has invaded Yugoslavia, as
it has the rest of Europe. The
only trouble is that teen-age
boys here are shy about danc
ing. State authorities speak glow
ingly of youth as "the hope of
our future." They mean the so
cialist future of Yugoslavia. Yet
the public school system has no
organized instruction in Marxist
history, no "indoctrination" as
such and, one official lamented,
is too "objective."
Schools are crowded and most
operate on concentrated sched
ules 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.. or
1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p m. six days
a week. Education is compulsory
until 18 years of age. and uni
versity attendance has leaped
from a prewar annual average
of 17,000 to about 62,000 in
1956.
Science Stressed
Marjan Filipovic, councillor
in the national secretariat for
education and culture, said
teaching "staffs are limited be
cause of the rapid expansion of
schools. Technical and applied
sciences are being stressed, with
emphasis on nuclear physics.
The national government feels a
strong need for more specialized
schools to eliminate the brain
power shortage in Yugoslavia's
mushrooming industry.
There is no apparent govern
ment attempt to prevent youths
from succumbing to western in
fluences. Even the state radio
features American jazz tunes.
And night clubs, always state
owned enterprises as everything
is here, demand that singers be
able to give a proper rendition
in English of any western song.

Sisters Honored
At Open House
In Central Point
Central Point Mr. and Mrs.
H. P. Jewetl have had as guests
since last week end the five sist
ers and brother-inlaw of Mrs.
Jewett.
They are Mrs. Flora L. Mend
ell, Stockton. Calif.; Mrs. Ethel
McCoy, Seattle, Wash.; Mr. and
Mrs. Herman Clark, Salem; Mrs.
Vida R. Dunlap, Caldwel, Idaho,
and Mrs. Marie Putman, Salem.
Open house was held for the
sisters at the Jewett home on
Tuesday afternoon with some 50
guests calling.
Pouring were Mrs. Harry
Tonn, Mrs. L. A. Ryerson and
Mrs. Helen Johnson, teachers at
Jewett primary school with Mrs.
Jewett. Mrs. Gene Snook and
Mrs. Richard Jewett, daughter
and daughter-in-law of the host
ess assisted with the serving.
i Night clubs are in the throes of
the cha cha craze right now and
the samba is still popular. Ca
lypso songs also are spreading
among teen-agers.
Jeans and pedal pushers for
young girls came into vogue
through gifts from U. S. relatives
and friends. Yugoslavia's com
mercially astute manufacturers
now make their own copies-.
Young girls and boys dress
more formally for school. Skirts
and sweaters are the rage.
Young men wear suits normally,
or sports jackets and odd slacks.
But there are leather-jacketed
swaggerers who could pass any
James Dean club sartorial test
Bikinis are the favorite bath
ing suit among girls, with ballerina-type
and one-piece suits
following in popularity.
Lipstick and nail polish are
rare among the girls. But, no
one in pedal-pushers or jeans
would go without nylons. Bobby
sox never caught on at all here.
No Steady Dating
In the cities, young people are
loosening traditional home ties.
Broadened educational programs
and training schools for indus
try keep boys out in the eve
ning. Girls of 18 talk wistfully
of "living on my own" but it
seems that 20 is the earliest age
at which the average girl ser
iously contemplates the break.
Twenty-year-old Nella. a com
mercial student, due to com
plete her education this year
confessed that she had never
been out alone with a boy.
"With a group of friends it is
all right," she said, "but to see
a boy alone means that mother
and father must come along
too."
An average girl or boy usual
ly '"promenades" after school.
This is a national pastime and
clogs city and country streets
and roads with people from
about 4 p.m. until midnight
every day. In Belgrade, one
main street is even closed night
ly to all traffic to give the
pedestrians more room. In rural
zones, girls said they cannot
stay out after 8 p.m. until the
ace of 18. then 9 p.m. until 20.
"Steady dating" is unheard of
even in the cities. "To date the
way American young people do
would make mother ask about a
wadding," 17-year-old Ina said.
Communism itself seems to
have nothing to do with teen
age customs. Although several
young students of history were
prepared to dispute western
economic theories, none carried
that theme as far as criticism
of all western life.

The furniture ra thia attravctiv room setting will live equally well out
doors in a. patio or oa porch during trie summer month. Yet it is
attractive enough to be featured prominently indoors as well. The arms
and frame of the seating piece are made of solid ash; table tops are
made of solid birch. It is available in a clear-tone, natural waxed lacquer
finish. (Heywood-TraJceneJd Co.)
Dessert I
Wonderfully refreshing appe-,
tizer or dessert for hot days
is an icy fruit cup. Empty a can
of fruit cocktail into refrigerator
tray, and freeze until syrup is
mushy. Spoon into chilled serv
ing dishes and top with mint
sprig.
