CHARGE IT AT THE SHOPPING CENTER STORE 635 East Jackson, Medford Acres of Free Parking YOU CAN "CHARGE IT" AT NEWBERRYS Don't push teenagers into marriage" was the warning of Mrs. Roberta Frasier, family life specialist for Oregon State university who spoke Tuesday afternoon for the annual Homemakers' festival of the Jackson County Extension service. About 300 women, members and guests of 34 home extension units through out the county, attended the all-day festival. Mrs. Frasier said that the present high rate of marriages among teenagers is not good and that "the trend can be changed if we want to change it." The family life specialist said that most teenage girls are not ready for the respon sibilities of marriage and home-making, that they need more education, more exper ience at being independent and more opportunities at something other than marriage. It is the duty of parents to help train their sons and daughters for marriage and she said that "sons should be trained to have some sense of responsibility towards girls and women." Too many men approach girls with the idea of "exploiting them" she de clared and said this leads to forced marriage and this in turn often means divorce. Fair Game "Girls are fair game for too many men," Mrs. Frasier stressed and reiterated that marriages arising from situa tions such as these usually end badly. Everyone needs to have a deep sense of responsibility to others in this complex world, she emphasized. Mrs. Frasier believes that there is too much emphasis on competition in this country. "Instead of stressing 'better than' we should stress 'work ing with' among families and individuals," she said. "Don't keep comparing yourself with someone else. Do the best you can and don't try to keep up with the Joneses'." The speaker said too many teenagers fail to finish high school and deplored the ten dency in this country to com plain that education is "too expensive." "Why do wc judge everything by what it costs, instead of what it will accom plish' asked Mrs. Frasier. "This nation cannot afford to let young people enter the world without sufficient edu cation." Describing teenagers, Mrs. Frasier said that among girls 15 to 19 years of age, 53 per cent are married, and that among boys of this age, 20 per cent are married. Many are unemployed, even though they are already parents. Praises Teenaqers The speaker had much praise for the American teen ager, saying they take more responsibility than they do in other countries. They arc "big business" and arc being sub jected to heavy pressures in the retail markets, she added. Teenagers in this country in many instances work very hard, belong to many worth while organizations, make many decisions and sometimes are asked to on 100 mueu around the house." "Teenagers need more breathing time," Mrs. Frasier stressed, between being chil dren and being adults. In this country it is sometimes hard for the individual to find his own identity, and have faith in himself, she added. The specialist pointed out that we have built up a "feminine mystique" which is moulding women into a pattern. "When the Communists do this we call it brain washing ," Mrs. Frasier said. Turning to the conditions which teenage girls as home makers are facing, and may face in the future, Mrs. Fra sier said young people are "highly mobile" and may live in foreign lands, out in space, or on the floor of the ocean. Today's woman is unlike her grandmother, the spe'akcr said. She colors her hair many shades, and before long may know how to prevent wrinkles in her face, control the bulges of her body and even "replace worn out parts." Needs Listed Today's homemaker needs to know more about nutrition and less about how to cook; she needs to know more about home management, how to keep records and how to de pend upon herself if she is forced to become the head of her family. She needs wide experience, and new horizons. Homes were formerly looked upon as something to use for a lifctimc-now a "disposable home" is within the realm of possibility. We already have different types of homes for different phases of life, she pointed out. Mrs. Frasier said that some women should not marry and should not become mothers. Since womanpowcr is needed in business and Industry, an unmarried woman poses few economic problems. "They can make a real contribution to society," she declared. The speaker urged her lis teners to set a good example for their children and pointed out that adults urge a boy to "act like a man" and then when he follows this advice, he ends up in trouble. She be lieves that children should be taught to-appreciate others, to have a sense of loyalty and in tegrity, should know how to face up to conflict and not just run away, and should be taught how to have confi dence in themselves and a true sense of values. "In this kind of climate, they will become good par ents and homemakers," she concluded.
