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.
