Adults—What Kermit teens
think about them.
Ever wonder how many million
words have been written about
teenagers? There are some 17.9
million Americans between the
ages of 13 and 17 and sometimes
I think we’ve read about every*
one of them.
We’ve read about their phys-
ical condition; their mental con-
dition; their spiritual condition;
their hopes; their fears, their
spending habits; and their fads.
Next, I suppose, will come'‘ What
Teenagers Think About Teen-
agers.”
Now don’t misunderstaftd, Tm
not against teenagers —-I’m for
them. But I am tired of reading
about what adults think of them.
For a * change of pace’ column,
why not see what they would
write, given the chance, about
adults?
The teenagers who have given
me their answers do not intend
to be disrespectful—just honest.
The following are only excerpts
from their answers. ALL were
very lengthy and any one answer
could have comprised a complete
column within itself. However, to
get the opinions of many I chose
the following. Right or wrong,
here they are:
of the standards and patterns our
adults set up and follow?
“Adults say, “Live like us,
think like us and be like us.”
What do they want? Do they
want our society to be unchang-
ing? or do they think that society
has hit a basic level and can
never rise?”
LINDA HIPP— “Adults, most
of the time, are giving teenagers
a sermon all about their lives
when they were young. Like, “I
had to walk five miles in snow
up to my knees when I was your
age.” Or they’ll give us the bit
about how much they didn’t have
that we have now.
“If the adults would only give
the teenagers a chance in the
times of today, and stop going
back to their lives It could and
would all work out better.”
ZEN AID A CACERES, 17, —
“I do not know a lot of adults
to be able to say what they
really are but I know enough of
them to be able to say that
adults have great responsibil-
ities. The adults I know about
are parents. They have their oc-
cupations and often they have
children to take care of. I think

MICHELLE BROWN, 17, —
“Webster’s abridged dictionary
defines an adult as “a full-grown
person; mature.” You will notice
^particularly the word ‘mature;’
WNiowever, it doesn’t specify men-
"tally or physically, so one is to
assume that an adult would be
mature both physically AND men-
tally.
WL, Unfortunately, I cannot say that
^ know a vast number of mature
adults; speaking in terms of men-
tal maturity. Far too often I see
adults who act as mere children,
picking childish quarrels and
bickering because everything has
not gone just to suit them.”
RONNIE ROBERTSON, 18, —
“Adults now days don’t take
enough interest in their child or
children’s activities and don’t
actually understand the modern-
day teenage life.
. . Most often when an!
adult has a talk with their son
or daughter, they use a level
which the teenager doesn’t
actually understand. Or, they beat
around the bush and don’t get to
the point.
“What it really boils down to
is that todays adult doesn’t have
enough understanding of their
teenagers.”
JANE SMITH, 16, — “Adults
are always' trying to set good
examples for the teenagers to-
day. They yell ‘‘don’t do this,”
when they turn around and do it
~ , themselves, with the excuse that
wt they are older and wiser.”
TOMMY SHILLINGBURG, 17,
—“Parents have many purposes
in their lifetime, but I think the
most important is to raise us
youngfolks. It takes a lot of time
and about twice as much patience.
And most of us never really pay
them back.
“I really admire a grown per-
son and a parent who can remem-
ber when he was our age and tries
to understand our actions. Kids of
today, I think, need more under-
standing and love. I can look
at the best kids in our school
and they really do love their
parents. This is because both
the kid and the parent has an
understanding of each other and
try to help each other.”
NAME WITHHELD — “Adults
of our modern day society, on the
^fjlwhole, are supposed to set a
^^lefinite pattern for us, as teen-
agers to follow. There’s only
one question I want to ask. What
would happen if we followed SOME
m
and tricks now that they (adults)
did we would be considered ju-
venile delinquents.”
LINDA HAMMOND, 16, —
The people of Winkler
County deserve vigorous
and aggressive represen-
tation in Austin. Send a
man to the state capital who
will work for and with the
people of Winkler County.

Opening lead—king of spades.
This deal occurred in the fi-
nals of the board-a-match cham-
pionship played in Phoenix in
1962. It created a mild stir in
the scoring room because the
North-South pair on one team
sent in a score of plus 600
points while their teammates at
the other table, holding the
East-West cards, also sent in a
score of plus 600 points.
The official scorer quite na-
turally thought that a mistake
had been made at one table or
the other, but, upon investiga-
tion, it turned out that both
scores were correct.
At the first table, South ar-
rived at three notrump after
North had made use of the
Stayman convention. This con-
tract should have been defeated,
but the declarer was accorded
unusually friendly treatment by
the defense andf wound up with
a total of nine tricks.
West led the king of spades.
Declarer won it and returned a
spade, taken by the queen. When
West shifted to a diamond,
South took the ten with the
jack, cashed the A-K, and re-
turned a low diamond. West
took the queen and led a heart,
the queen losing to the king.
Eventually, South made two
spades, two hearts, four dia-
monds and a club for a score
of 600 points. s.
At the second table, the bid-
ding started exactly the same
way, but when North responded
two clubs, East doubled for lead
purposes. Again three notrump
played by South became the
contract, but at this table West
led the queen of clubs, which
East could afford to overtake
with the king to force out the
ace and establish the clubs.
The declarer did not play the
hand well; he started out by
losing four clubs, two spades
and a heart. Late in the play he
also got desperate and tried a
diamond finesse, but West had
bared his queen by this time
and was now also able to cash
the 9-8 of hearts and put de-
clarer down six—600 points.
