Teen-Agers Run Gamut Of Vacafion Jobs:
From River-Measuring To Puppy-Sitfing
By GAILE DUGAS
NEA Woman's Editor
NEW YORK — (NEA) — The
teen-ager who hasn’t yet earned
money this summer can have a
weekly pay check whose size is
limited only by her ingenuity and
initiative, judging by the activities
of teen-agers across the country.
In a recent survey conducted by
the Tide Washing Clinie, more
than 145 different ways to earn
2 summer salary were described
by school-going teen-agers in 715
communities. And four out of
every five girls who responded to
the questions said that, in addition
10 the extra work, they took part
in chores at home,
Baby-sitting ,though it counts,
{sn’t the only way for a teen-ager
to earn pin money. Most teen
age girls find work in one of two
ways: by canvassing established
markets or by making an inven
tory of their own abilities with
view to creating a job.
The results? These girls are
thorough. They've drawn jobs at
every store on Main Street. They
sell flowers for the florist, tend
counter in the book and record
shop, check clothes for the dry
cleaner. They pump gas and
make sales at the service station,
handle calls at the telephone ex
change, address envelopes for the
printer, take messages for doctors
and dentists. Some work in hos
pitals or libraries, others type,
keep books and make out bills for
lawyers, banks and commercial
offices.
They find opportunities every
where. They put on pretty uni
forms and take over as waitresses

MISS MARTHA PITTARD
tin tearooms and luncheonettes.
They’re cashiers, ushers, candy
concessionaires and popcorn-ma
cbine operators for the local mo
vie.
On the farm, they’re busy, too.
Farmers hire part-time hands for
garden and harvest work. And
there are wages for hoeing corn,
picking beets and onions, washing,
candling and packing eggs for
market. Some of the sturdier girls
even drive tractors, care for live
stock and take produce to town.
And all summer long, teen-agers
pick berries, gather tomatoes and
detassel corn.
There are always truly “odd”
jobs for teen-agers with curiosity.
One Minnesota miss measures the
Mississippi River every day for the
United States Department of In
terior; an Idaho girl is a church
janitor; a third teen-ager collects
her pin money by being a part
time interpreter.
And that’s not all. A California
girl, who likes to take pictures,
gets photographic assignments
from her neighbors. She makes
shots of their gardens, their homes
land their children. Other girls
tput money in their pockets by
making use of their own childhood
music lessons to give lessons to
neighborhood children. And still
others play for dances, weddings,
concerts and Sundays at church.
Even sports pay off. Girls act
as life iuatds at local swimming
[pools; they caddy at golf clubs;
they even do part-time work at
| riding stables.
l Baby-sitting remains, of course,
the Big Business of the teen-agers.
As an important offshoot of this
business, there’s money in dog and
cat-sitting. It's profitable in many
communities, teen-agers find,
where householders prefer not to
leave a frightened pet alone in
the house.
Teen Talk
AP Newsfeatures
Everyone enjoys hearing about
new party ideas. We get tired of
playing 20 questions and per
haps even spin-the-bottle, and the
girl in a group who can come up
with a brand new party idea
might put new vigor in an old
crowd,
A new book, “The Party Game
Book”, by Margaret E. Mulac
and Marion S. Holmes (Harper &
Brothers), offers hundreds of
new ideas in invitations, games
and general merriment which
should pep up any group. Some
parties are worked out in com
plete detail and there are sug
gestions for children, adults,
family groups in the home or
church, recreation center, private
club or camp.
Let’s take the “Backward Party”
for example.
The invitation is hand-written
backward, starting from the low
er. right-hand corner instead of
the upper left-hand corner. The
R.S.V.P, for instance, appears in
the upper right-hand corner
(backward, of course).
One of the main attractions of
a. backward. party. is. wearing
clothes backward. Dresses, sweat
ers, blouses, hats and even jeans
can be worn backward. The hostess
can put her apron backward, to
keep the thing strictly in the mood.
When the host or hostess greets
the guests, it is with “goodby in
stead of “hello” and all are expect
ed to walk in backward. Names
can be given backward such as
O’Toole Mary or Yram Ellooto de
pending on the versatility of the
host. If she thinks she might get
stuck giving the names completely
backward, name cards can be pre
pared in advance, solving the
problem, because the guests can
wear them for all to view.
Desert, of course, is served first
at a party of this kind, so let’s hope
your guests are really in the mood
to have their tomato juice or fruit
cup last.
A good backward party game
goes like this:
The leader gives the answer
and the contestants give the ques
tion to the given answer, It is
best to divide the guests into teams
which get their heads together and
collaborate on the answers. They
jot the answer down on a pad
and the first paper with the cor
rect answer presented to the lead
er is kept. The team that gets the
most answers wins. Here are some
of the suggested answers and ques
tions:
1. Decembef 21st.
(Q) (What is the shortest day
of the year?)
2. 1812 * ;
’ (Q) (When was the war of
18127?)
: 3. “Fourscore and seven years
| ago.”
| (Q) (What are the opening lines
of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address?)
Questions, of course, will be
made up to suit the group.
i Other stunts suggested for this
party are reverse spelling, The
Farmer in the Dell done from the
“cheese takes the rat” and run
backward dramatic stunts. These
can be fairy tales or nursery rhy
mes acted out in' reverse. Jack
Horner might be seen thumping
| himself on the chest in the open
.ing scene, then taking the plum
out of his mouth, then sticking
}it on his thumb, putting it back
in the pie and sitting down in the
! corner.
| Once you get this theme organ
ized party-wise, you’ll think of
lots of variations for entertain
ment.
And, of eourse, suggests the
book, you'll say “hello, it’s good
| to see you” as your guests go out
’ the door.
Let’s hope some hot-rod driver
idoesn’t carry the thing too far,
however, and try driving his car
home backward. But then there’s
one at every party who tries to
carry things just a little too far.
So if you value Mother’s lamps,
| rugs and furniture, you might
dispense with walking or dancing
packward while the party is in
| progress.

Queen Of Musical Comedies
Never Doubfed Her Ability
! NEW YORK.—(NEA)—The girl
t who is being hailed as the new
queen of Broadway musical come-~
dies isn’t surprised at all, Dolores
Gray is her name, and she knew
she was going to hit the top all
| along.
{ “I hope I don’t sound conceited,”
says the tall, blonde Miss Gray,
“when I say I've always known I
anmr a good singer. I've never had
any doubts.”
The morning after she opened
with Bert Lahr in “Two On the
Aisle” everybody else knew it,
too. She had bounced through the
surprise hit with big, blonde vital
ity and a big, blonde voice. She
| sings loud and clear, and every
‘ thing she says is perfectly audible
: in the last row, balcony.
I From any place in the theatre,
i Dolores Gray looks the picture of
health. But she says she isn’t the
least bit healthy. In fact, she has
to take exceptionally good care of
! herself to go on at all.
| Right after every performance,
she goes straight home. She may
talk for a while with her mother,
Mrs. Barbara Gray, and her
| younger brother, Richard. Then
I she goes to bed.
I “I simply have to,” she says, “so
i T’ll be able to put everything I've
|got into my performance. Every
living, breathing ounce of energy
has to be conserved.
“I drive myself and force my
self to the utmost to give the best
performance possible—but I won’t
! fritter away my energy on the
| frivolous and the foolish, I'mr not
strong enough or healthy enough
to do both.”
She had a nervous breakdown
’in England, where she played the
i leading role in “Annie Get Your
Gun” for three years. She suffers
from pernicious anemia. She
doesn’t smoke or drink, and wor
ries constantly about standing up
under the strain of her work. She
ladmits she hasn’t the energy for
fun or romance.
| But she does enjoy her life, be
cause she gets “great satisfaction
and joy from a job well done.”
{ She sounds like a dedicated
| woman, and she is. The musical
! comedy stage is her big thri'l.
“Ever since I was a tiny girl
' I've wanted to be a big star, and
T’ve always known I would be. My
whole life has been planned to
! that end. Everything I’ve done has

AVA AND FRANKIE HIE TO MEXICO—Movie Actress
Ava Gardner from Smithfield, N. C., and Crooner Fran

from Hollywood to Mexico City. Ava walks well ahead

had a purpose. Everything has
been one more step forward.” -
Step one was singing lessons for
the Chicago-born girl. Step two
was discovery by Rudy Vallee,
who heard her at her vocal studio
and put her on his radio program.
Then came more engagements on
radio and West Coast clubs and
hotels.
Then she invaded New -~ York,
and was booked into the Copaca
bana. Billy Rose heard her and
signed her for his show, “The
Seven Lively Arts.” More Broad
way roles followed, and next she
got the coveted chance to sing the
Ethel Mermran role of Annie in
England.
At her audition for Rodgers and
Hammerstein —the composers of
Annie—she had to resort to a few
tricks to get the part.
“I knew they thought I was too
glamorous for the role,” she says,
“so I wore a skirt and blouse and
flat shoes. I tied up my hair with
a piece of string I found on the
stage. I picked up a broom and
used it for the gun’ Annie car
ries.”
After Annie closed in London,
she sang on the Continent for a
year before she returned to New
York for her current show.
And now she is where she knew
all along she would be. From here
-on, the sky — and her health—is
the limit.

Friday Sef
The people of Winterville Bap
tist Church expected a big crowd
for the barbecue they gave Fri
day afternoon, but not so large as
the number of people who attend
ed.
Preparations had been made for
more than 700, but even then late
arrivals found that the barbecued
pork and lamb had given out, al
though the other items on the
menu were suffcient,
J. B. Warren, chairman of the
church building committee which
sponsored the ’cue to raise funds
for an Educational Building, said;
“We were deeply gratified by
the huge number of people who
evidenced their support of our
project by attending the barbecue
and, at the same time, we were
deeply embarrassed and humiliat
ed that we had underestimated
the number that would attend
with the result that the meat ran
short. If any person who bought
a ticket and did not get served
will please hold the ticket, it will
be good for our next barbecue.
And next time we will not be
caught short, no matter how many
attend.”
Mr. Warren also voiced the
thanks of himself and the church
4o the firms which aided in selling
the tickets, and to all who donated
items and contributed to the suc
cess of the ’cue.
Mr. Warren also said the church
realized more from the 'cue Friday
