Sincere . Teen-ager Hemoans Hep Label By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I'm a teen ager who wants to make a suc cess of my life. I think you can help me by ex plaining a few things. I hear a great many adults talk about us teen agers in gener alities, as if you could lump us all together and hang a label on us. I feel this is unfair. All teen-agers are not reckless drivers, speed demons and make outs. Some of us are serious stu dents, reasonably well behaved, and we want to make the world a better place. But iuW do we do It? I once wrote to you for advice and you stressed the importance of each individual doing as well as he can with himself. You said "Make you your central project Strive toward maturity." I must confess that I don't know what maturity is. If you can explain this one word to me, Ann, it may unlock other mysteries. Please try. Hope For Tomorrow Dear Hope: Maturity Is many things. First, It's the ability to base a Judgment on the Big Picture the Long Haul. It means being able to pass up the fun-for-the-mlmite and select the course of action LAST 2 DAYS!

Maturity is the ability to stick with a project or a situation until it Is finished. The adult who is constantly changing jobs, chang ing friends and changing mates Is immature. He cannot stick with a situation because be is not grown up. Everything seems to 'turn sour" after awhile. Maturity Is the ability to face unpleasantness, frustration, dis comfort, and defeat without com plaint or collapse. The mature per son knows he can't have every thing his own way. Nobody wins em all. He is able to defer to circumstances, to other peopli and to time. Maturity Is the abUity to do what Is expected of you, and this means being dependable and re liable. It means keeping your word. And bound in with depend ability Is personal integrity. Do you mean what you say and do you say what you mean? The adult world Is filled with people who can't be counted on They never seem to come through In the clutches. They break prom Ises and substitute alibis for per formance. They show up late or not at all. They are confused and disorganised. Their lives are a maze of unfinished business. Such behavior suggests a lack of self-dlsclplin" which Is a large part of maturity. Maturity Is the ability to make a decision, and then to slick with It, riding out whatever storms may follow. This requires clear thinking, backed with the courage to stand by your position, once you've taken It. Immature people spend a life time exploring possibilities and then do nothing. Action rcauires courage. And courage means ma turity. - Maturity Is the ability in harness your abilities and your energies and do more than Is ex pected of you.

WASHINGTON (AP) The De- fense Department, now custodian of the civil defense fallout shelter program, has decided the military should do something about pro viding protection for its own peo-pie. Since the department received responsibility for the shelter program last summer, it has been busy telling civilians how to build their own shelters and has done virtually nothing about increasing the handful of shelters the mili tary had built. In a new memorandum which came to light today, Deputy Sec retary of Defense Roswell L. Gil- patric told the service secretaries and his own manpower and in stallations officials that: "Study should be initiated promptly to de termine actions which are avail able to serve Die dual purpose of protecting personnel and offer ing tangible evidence that the mil itary establishment takes civil de fense seriously.

OfW hanced, Gilpatric said, by "con crete and visible steps by the military establishment to provide protection for civilian employes, dependents ' and military person nel located in the United States." A Defense Department directive issued in July HlfiO says that reference to government-owned! or government-sponsored housing that "fallout protection should be provided military and civilian personnel and their dependents in both new and existing construction." Elsewhere, the 10 statement! of policy declares that: "The nation is not defended in fact by all readily available means of de fense if civil defense measures are inadequate or neglected" and that "the vulnerability of our civil defense structure impairs the capabilities of existing military forces to serve their intended purposes." However, the military's pro gram hasn't gone much beyond the issuing of the policy statement more than a year ago and the! new, prodding memorandum by Gilpatric. A few posts, camps and stations have begun an attempt to provide shelter space for military and civilian personnel, and courses on radiation safety procedure are be ing taught. There is no money in the current fiscal 1962 budget for such shelters. Gilpatric himself has huilt two fallout shelters, one at his home here, another at a summer home. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara hasn't built a shelter because, as he explains, he lives in a rented home here on wnich the lease expires next January. Adam Yarmolinsky, McNamara's spcial assistant in charge of civil defense, is building a shelter. The few really big radiation tight fallout shelters the military now has are designed for person nel who would have direct part in the command machinery or the launching of weapons. Headquarters of the Strategic Air Command near Omaha, Neb., is underground, protected against bomb blast as well as fallout. The "alternate Pentagon," lo cated in a cavern under a moun tain near the Maryland-Pennsyl vania border, is a stout, fallout protected place. The Pentagon it self, with a daily population of about 27,000, has' a command post located in a sub-basement, but not constructed with any parlicu-l lar guarantee against radioactive contamination. There is another alternate headquarters not for from Washington with fallout shel tcr features. The underground sites at which intercontinental ballistic missiles are located have fallout protcc tion features. A few operational command headquarters for the services in the field have shelters. But in each case, these shelters are for the specific purpose of protecting a few individuals who must make decisions, transmit commands or fire weapons.

(API-Pres ident Kennedy preached natural resources, learned about cattle and boosted Democrats Sunday in his first trip to the hinterlands as chief executive. He dedicated a road at Big Cedar not yet a point on the map and saw, close-up, the prize Angus cattle at Sen. Robert S. Kerr's ranch much larger than Big Cedar. He also shook the hands of scores of country folk and min gled with Democratic office holders. After an overnight stay at Kerr's ranch house, the President was to fly by helicopter to Fort Smith, Ark., for the jet trip back In Washington. Except for a fast! flight to New York and Chicago last April, and his weekends at LHyannis Port Kennedy hadn't ventured Into the country since taking office in January. Landing at Fort Smith Sunday, Kennedy strode up to a group! that may get Involved in an Ark- onsas political scra.p next year. Sen. J. W. Fulbrlght was there with Gov. Orval E. Faubus and Rep. Dale Alford, both of whom reportedly are thinking about op posing Fulbright for reelection in 1002. Kennedy shook hands all around and worked in a plug for Ful bright, who, he kaid, has labored for a strong united States in a peaceful world and also spoke, for the interests of Arkansas. Fulbright Is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee. Arkansas critics have charged him with forgetting the! state while pursuing foreign pol icy problems. Sen. John L. McClellan and Democrats in the slatq's House delegation also turned out for the President, who carried Arkansas handily in I960. Kennedy praised his Democrat ic hosts in Oklahoma, which voted for former Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon. Both at Fort Smith and at Biz Cedar, the chief executive said the nation cannot lose sight of its natural resources, its "land, wood and water," while building its military might. "We hold the sword" he told thousands who converged on the Big Cedar crossroads, and W! are determined to maintain our strength and our commitments. But we also hold in our hands the trowel." Kerr, Democratic Sen. Mike Monroney, Gov. J. Howard Ed- mondson and House members joined him later at Ker-Mac ranch. There Kennedy watched with obvious interest and oc casional amusement at a march past of Angus cattle and mock auctioning of Ker-Mac Marshall 47th, a massive black bull rated by Kerr the best of his herd. Kerr and Dean A. McGce, his partner in cattle, oil and uranium enterprises, own one of Ok lahoma's ranching showplaccs.

Unless it has a new agreement in hand by 8 p.m. Tuesday, the union has told Chrysler in effect it will be struck by that time Thursday night. Chrysler is the only one of the automotive Big Three still without a new three-year contract with the UAW. General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. signed ear lier. Smallish American Motors Corp. signed ahead of anybody. Chrysler, the only money-loser among the Big Three this year, has offered generally to meet eco nomic terms negotiated with Ford and GM, but it is insisting on a sharp cutback In the number of union representatives who draw Bing Becomes Father Again LOS ANGELES (UP11 - Bing Crosby's wife, actress Kathy Grant, gave birth to their third child, a son.

Chrysler says that among its employes there is one union rep resentative lor approximately ev ery 100 employes, compared with one representative for each 250 employes at Ford and GM, Ford won a sharp cutback in the number of representatives in its plants in 1958 bargaining. This caused long grumbling at the local union level, where repre sentatives have strong Influence. At Chrysler, as it had at Ford, the work force has dwindled with out a corresponding lopping off of company-paid union representa tives. Also sllll snagging a Chrysler settlement are completion of at thc-plant working agreements, which supplement the national contract. As of Sunday night there were 11 at-the-plant agreements still to go, and three of them were at factories critical to Chrysler's operations. The critical ones are: Twins burg, Ohio, stamping plant which makes pressed motal parts for all Chrysler's lines of cars: Indianap oils, lnd., manufacturing plant which makes alternators (genera tors) and electric motors, and i Trenton, Mich., engine plant In all. the UAW has 88 bargain ing units in Chrysler's 46 plants The Newark, Del., assembly plant became the 77th to reach agree ment when It settled Sunday.
