Plan ahead now for holiday
spending, one family resource
management specialist
suggested this week.
“Most families feel they will
need to cut down on the
amount of money spent this
year. Call a family council and
let each family member know
the situation,” Mrs. Doris
Myers, with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
The Texas A&M University
System, said.
Start by taking a look at
where money is going now.
List all expenditures that must
be met for the next several
months. Then list the amount
of money that will be coming
in to pay these bills, she
advised.
“This provides a realistic
picture of how much money is
left for gift giving, entertaining
and other holiday functions.
“In most families some
adjustments will need to be
made. Let the family figure odt
together what can be done,-”
Mrs. Myers said.
She suggested ways to make
the season happy for others
without spending money.
Making gifts instead of buying
them, . visiting a shut-in, and
doing a job such as babysitting
for a friend are ideas for
bringing joy at no cost.

High school students in a
middle class suburb of
Portland, Oregon, are learning
about marriage by getting
married in the classroom.
In a laboratory approach to
the traditional marriage and
family curriculum, students are
paired off — boy and girl — on
the first day of class according
to a “sociogram” each fills out
listing interest, talents and
habits.
Each couple is married by
the teacher in a mock
ceremony complete with rings,
cake, taped music and
reception.
For 12 weeks they work
together, as man and wife, with
such family problems as
budgets, job hunting, housing,
insurance, birth control
pregnancy, child rearing and
nosey relatives.
And, because one out of
three real marriages winds up
on the rocks, every 12-week
union at Parkrose Senior High
School ends with a divorce.
After the “honeymoon,”
dispatched with a wink and a
smile, husbands and wives push
their desks together and
teacher Cliff Allen, a former
football coach who designed
the Contemporary Life Course
four years ago, begins throwing
theoretical problems at them.
In the first week, either
husband or wife must pretend
they have dropped out of
school and search for a job.
The couple must rent an
apartment, buy a car, work out
a budget, shop for health,
home and auto insurance.
The job, says Allen, must be
one a high school dropout is
likely to get, and the budget
must stay within the salary.
“Their first trip to the
supermarket to check prices
usually bursts the bubble,” he
says. “Then they settle into the
fact they’re going to be eating
marriage. That’s the whole
point of this course.
Allen.
Husband and wife .receive a
?ad. for the course,
in life and lived through most
of the problems he gives his
which forces them to
students, believes money is the cooperate work
biggest hangup in a marriage, efficiently together, Allen says.
“Young people are
protected at home from
discussions about money,” he
says. “The result is that kids
don’t know what’s involved.
They really don’t understand
the system. And most of the
system is financial.
“In some ways these kids are
more sophisticated than the
ones I taught 14 years ago,” he
says. “But when it comes to
money matters, they’re just as
dumb.”
One couple in Allen’s class -
Mike Hair and Janet Marsh,
both 17 — are engaged to be
married for real after
graduation this June. Both plan
to work. He already has a job
lined up. They say they’re
learning valuable lessons in
Allen’s class.
“I’d hate to have to go
through all this cold,” says
Mike. “I think the stuff we’re
learning here will put us in
pretty good shape.”
Other engaged couples have
taken Allen’s class, decided
afterward they weren’t ready
for marriage, and called it off.
Still others were already
married when they took the
class “but didn’t get any better
grades than the others,” says
Occasionally, Allen
encounters a couple who say
they would rather be
considered living together;
without benefit of marriage.
“That’s fine with me,” he
says. “But it doesn’t make the
course any easier for them.
They have the same problems
to deal with as everybody
else.”
After the house is bought
and furnished, each couple has
a baby, finds the first-year
expenses run around $1,600
and struggles to fit it into an
already strained budget.
In the final weeks, each
couple gets a spin on the
“wheel of misfortune,” an
innovation of Allen’s teaching
colleague, Wes Johnson.
The wheel hits them with
such financial disasters as an
uninsured car accident, loss of
a job, birth of triplets, help for
a needy relative.
The couples rely on their
ingenuity to cope with the
crisis and they’re graded on
their performance.
In the last week of class,
each couple - married-or not-
goes through a divorce, splits
up their worldly possessions
and calls it quits.

AG CREDIT GOOD
Texas country banks appear *
in good shape to serve farmers
and ranchers, says an
economist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
A survey of the state’s
agricultural lending institutions
showed that 61 percent of the
Texas banks were actively
seeking new farm and ranch
accounts compared to only 19
per cent that were cutting back
on loans because of fund
shortages. Thirty-one per cent
of agricultural lenders reported
more farmers and ranchers
were borrowing this year than
last, and 73 per cent reported
average loan increases. Loan
repayments were also up
compared to last year, except
for cattle loans.
