"We're busy right now on a code of conduct for all Al bion teenagers. A lot of our kids in trouble come from good families.

It helps tnem una tneir per sonalities. So says Dr. Tibor Koeves, vice president of the Institute for Motivational Research, a market research organization "Cosmetics are tools of emo tions. They help teen-agers decide what they want to be come and serve as an outlet for this quest for identity. Attitudes toward cosmetics are an expression of a person's entire attitude toward life," Dr. Koeves said at a forum on teens' use' of cosmetics, sponsored by Fashion Group Inc. Market Potential The group, which includes 3,000 women executives in the fashion industry, held the forum to emphasize the enor mous potential of the teen-age market. In 1956, the teens had an estimated income of nine billion dollars. By 1965, persons under 20 years will Arm about 40 per cent of our total population, or roughly 77 million persons. This youth population will be larger than the total population of the Students Play On Instruments Bought by PTA Eagle Point Band instru ments which the Eagle Point Elementary i-arent itduici association helped to purchase were displayed in use as part of the program at the unit's last meeting. Keith Krambeal, music in structor for the elementary school, presented the program for the evening. Representing musical training in the school for the past year were stu dents from the intermediate chorus, fifth and sixth gardes; the upper chorus, seventh and eighth grades; the advanced band and the beginner's band. Among the participating stu dents were a number who had no previous musical training. Musical selections were var ied, including classical num bers, spirituals, rounds, fa vorites from Broadway musi cals, marching band numbers, classic excerpts, and a popu lar musical quiz with . Mrs. James Wallis acting as a vol unteer contestant. In the absence of the regu lar accompanist, Georgia Weidman, Mrs. Krambeal sub stituted at the piano to assist her husband. Mrs. John Huffman, presi dent, gave a report from the county welfare office on the need for foster homes. Any one interested in 'taking chil dren into their home may con tact her for further informa tion. Mrs. Oscar Frei, health chairman, reported that a first aid class of instruction would be available if there were enough interested adults to register. Anyone desiring to take the course is asked to register with her. Children who will enter school in September are in vited to attend annual Visita tion day Thursday, May 29.

"Let girls spend hours in front of a mirror trying out cosmetics," Dr. Koeves said. "On these occasions, a teen ager makes her own acquain tance. Cosmetics are an exfen-! sion of her own personality or part of the girl she hopes to become. "Cosmetics also are a teen ager's tool for discovering where she belongs. Adoles cents rebel against adult standards, but never against their own. They think that if other girls in their crowd do something or wear something, it must be right," he said. Belonging Not Enough "But this need to belong is not enough. A teen-ager must be somebody . in the group, must have distinction and su periority. A girl with inside information on new make-up gains this needed respect," said Dr. Koeves. But youngsters use make up more sparingly than adults think, he added. "Girls are conservative be cause boys want them to be Mothers tell their sons, 'Don't go out with girls who wear too much make-up.' And the boys don't." An institute survey showed that in the eighth grade, about naif the girls wear lipstick. In the ninth grade, most girls paint'. By the next grade, the youngsters start using eye brow pencil, and half use mas cara in the 11th grade. When they're high school seniors, they get the works, Dr. Koeves said. Today's teen - agers, boys and girls, prefer the whole some type of girl to sirens, he added. "We showed them pictures of the 1920's beauties, and they rejected them. They want a girl to look like a captain of a swimming team. They think she need not be beauti ful, but she should be cute," he added.

Frost spoke on raising or chids as a profitable hobby and illustrated his talk with four orchid plants he had grown from seed, a project requiring an average of seven to nine years. Speaking on the growing of cymbidium orchids, Frost explained that orchids were especially adaptable to the southern Oregon climate. The plants usually grow at eleva tions between 2,500 and; 6,000 feet, like lots of fresh air, cold nights, and need to be damp but not wet. Not Delicate The speaker explained that orchids are not the delicate, tender flower that many peo ple think they are. He empha sized his point by roughly fingering some of the cabbage like petals of the blooms he brought with him. He said persons who plan to grow orchids should talk with someone who has raised them, thus avoiding some of the common errors. He added that the plants should be planted on rocks with a soil mixture that allows the free passage of air and has good drainage. The soil will not re main wet. He added that the plants thrive on temperatures as low as 32 degrees when not in bloom. Frost mentioned that there is an excellent market for the flowers and said he hoped to see a southern Oregon asso ciation of orchid growers formed in the future. He men tioned that it is not possible to grow too many of the flow ers now. Orchid Congress He explained that the West ern Orcnia congress win De held in Portland next year.
