By HANK JENKINS
I have an Interesting and, In its
way, a challenging letter from
three girls In their late teens.
Tliey are out of high school and
are not going to ' college. That
poses for them a special problem.
They put It like this in their letter:
"After listening to recent discus
ions of teen-age problems, we
would like to preaent our problem.
We are 18 and 1 years of age
and have been out of school (or a
year or more. What sort of enter
tainment or recreation la there lor
us?
"We ... art not treated as
adults and do not consider our
selves adults. Wa Icel we will be
old soon enough. It seems that we
are in an In-between age where we
are considered neither as teen
agers, which we are, nor adulta.
which we are not . . . We are
not permitted to attend the high
chool dancea and If we go lo the
armory dances unescorted wcare
fm.idered as being on lit, down
trad. "We would like to have dances
and things like that provided for
us Just aa well as the hlgU school
students, but there Is of course
the problem of not enough teen
agers of our age to make such a
thing feasible . . .
"We would appreciate It very
much II you would give our prob
lem some thought."
Ah, my dears, thnt "In-between"
agcl I know It seems to you thnt
your problem In unique. It Isn't.
It conies to everyone. Especially,
it comes to everyone of your sex.
While vou were In high school,
did you happen in your literature
courses lo read much of Long
lellow? If no. you will recall these
lines from his poem Maidenhood:
"Standing with reluctant feet,
"Where the brook and river
meet,
"Womanhood and childhood
ileetl"
"Where the brook and river
meet." That is where you are
Mnndtng now. You are neither chil
dren nor are you women. But
where you are standing isn't a
TRAGIC spot. It Is a wonderful
i,put. All your lives so Inr you
have been preparing yourselves to
live. Now you are BEGINNING to
live. You are standing at tho door
of the Ureal Adventure.
What we oldsters wouldn't give
to be standing where you are
standing nowl
What I four, my dears, Is that
v.m are fulling into- some wrong
Alnklng. You any: "Wc would like
lo have dunces and things like
that PROVIDED for us Just ns
well as the high school students."
Provided bv whom? By govern
ment city, ntato or federal? Or
by kindly people who will take all
the drudgery off your shouldcfs,
leaving you nothing to do but
ENJOY YOURSELVES?
I wonder If too mnny of us In
theso days aren't fnlllug Into the
hnblt of ; thinking that everything
mast bo 'PROVIDED for us that
It Isn't up to us to provide ANY
THING for, ourselves. -
That is dnngurous thinking. It
leads to pinny disappointments.
Anyway,' : if I were you, I
wouldn't glvo too much thought to
Mils business of being In an "In
between" age. Since tho world
began, millions upon millions upon
millions of girls of your age have
been In this tame spot. Most of
them canle through it very nicely
indeed. ;
just go' ahead nnd live your
lives, Do your duties from dny to
day. Help your mothers around the
house, It tliorc Isn't anything else
to do. If you want to work, get
Jobs. Bo Interested in what you
are doing. Be Interested In the
people mound you, Live up. each
day to the responsibilities that fnll
upon your shoulders that clay. Bo
nnv, Whatever you do, do with a
llglit heart.
The first thing you know, you'll
be so busy with the good times
that are coming your . way that
you'll never give a thought to he
shortcomings of a system that
fnlle to "provide" good times for
youJ after you are out of school

United Nations Members Listen As
Russia Accuses US Of Training And
Aiding Strong
By STANLEY JOHNSON
PARIS W With almost half the
member nations declining to vote,
the United Nations Political Com
mittee Tuesday condemned the So
viet Union as having failed to hon
or Its 1945 treaty of friendship with
the Chinese government of Gener
alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.
Tile vote, 24 to 9. with 25 ab
stentions, came shortly after So
viet Delegate Jacob A. Malik
charged that under the direction of
two American generals there is be
ing built up in Burma a Chinese
Nationalist, "shock force, armed to
the teeth, which at any moment
can provoke aggression."
The U.S. has repeatedly denied
similar charges raised by the Chl
neso Reds. Before Malik spoke, the
U.S. again had rejected such charg
es nnd implied it would not aid the
Chinese Nationalists in Burma,
The resolution was a watered
down version of one presented by
T. F. Tsiang of Nationalist China
and supported by the U.S. to con
demn the U.S.S.R. for violating the
treaty. '
The "yes" votes came from the
Latin American, countries, the U.S.
As for local nroceaslnor of the
npud crop, Henderson said there Is
no such Job we ran do here or

price ceilings would cause a black

pointed out that their ideas, In

plied him through the county
agent s office here:
A field yielding 300 sacks

A 200 sack per acre yield
cost S3. 88 per sack.

decided to bring , the snowbound
party out.
Paul Dalton's plane broke a ski
when landing on the lake and a
craft piloted by Elbert Stiles had
lo return here to get equipment
to make repairs, and go back to
the lake.
'The rescue was finally mad" but,
Miller said, landing and taking off
at the lake was much more simple
for the ski-equipped planes than
landing and taking off at the Klam
ath Falls airport.
He suggested that with as much
runway and taxi strip as the local
airport has, a strip could be left
snow-covered for use of the ski
equipped planes.

Virginia. .
The blizzard-like snow struck at
Pomeroy and Mlddleport, O., to the
south before midday. Bitter cold
temperatures made roads and
streets a maze of ice.
The crest of the marauding Ohio
cut down somewhat by the cold
rolled toward Parkersburg, W.
Va., Tuesday morning and headed
toward a midnight date with Pom

Two thousand persons are home
less there as these two Ohio towns
awaited the full blow of the flood
crest. Three or four hundred other :
persons climbed to higher ground
at Parkersburg.
Nine are dead from a series of
floods spearheaded by the Ohio in :
three states.
Many other thousands have been
affected either with water in base
ments or first floors or with
blocked roads and streets that kept
them irom work. Subfreezing cold
made life still more miserable.
The punishing crest flowed slow

measured 43.75 feet, shy of the
44.47 feet predicted by U.S. Army
Engineers ancL U.S. Weather Bu

with the Nationalists in Burma. ,
Tslnng denied that the Chinese
troops in North Burma were sup
ported from Formosa, present sent
of the Chiang government, and said
they were operating as independent
raiders, "similar to Garibaldi."
Malik claimed that the Chinese
troops in Burma were being sup
plied by parachute drops from U.S.
Constellation planes and said they
are "girding for aggression under
the leadership of American gen
erals." He labelled the troops a "shock
force, armed to the tooth, which at
any moment can provoke aggres

The Soviet delegate was seconded
by Poland's Julius Katz-8uchy, who
