Houston Teens Spend
Houston County’s teenage population,
growing rapidly in size and in wealth, is
having a marked impact on the local
economy.
An estimated $14,450,000 a year is being
spent by them for records, beauty supplies,
stereos, pocket calculators, athletic equip
ment, clothing, entertainment, snacks and
their various other wants and needs.
The findings are based upon facts and
figures compiled by the Family Economist,
the Youth Research Institute and others,
covering the nation as a whole.
They show that America’s teenagers, who
number close to 30 million, now have a
personal income of $28.7 billion a year. This
includes their weekly allowances and their
after-school and vacation-time earnings,
which come from baby sitting, lawn mowing
and miscellaneous other jobs.
As would be expected, the amount a child
gets varies with age, with local attitudes and
with family finances. The older ones are the
most affluent. They have bigger allowances
and better earning opportunities than the
young teens.
In Houston County, on the basis of local
income and spending data, expenditures by
teenagers averaged out to about $1,170 per
capita.
The combined spending, for the 12,350 who
are in that age group locally, came to ap-

Dr. Carey T. Vinzant of
Forsyth, Georgia to be
Interim Pastor effective
April 1.
Dr. Vinzant, a native of
Mississippi, is a graduate
of Mississippi College and
Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary.
He holds an honorary
doctorate from Mercer
University. Mrs. Vinzant
is the daugher of the late
Dr. and Mrs. C.L.
McGinty. Dr. and Mrs.
Vinzant have two
daughters, both of whom
are married and live in
Atlanta.
Dr. Vinzant served as
pastor in Georgia from
1931 to July 1,1952, during
which time he served in a
number of elective and
appointive positions in
the Georgia Baptist
Convention and the
Southern Baptist Con
vention.
In 1952, Dr. Vinzant
became president of Tift
College in Forsyth, where
he served until July 1,
1969, during which time
the capital assets of the
college were tripled and
the enrollment was
quadrupled.
Since retiring from Tift
College, Dr. Vinzant has
been engaged in interim
pastoral work; and is a
trustee of the Georgia
Foundation of In
dependent Colleges; a
member of the Education
Commission of the
Georgia Baptist Con
vention; and Scholarship
Commission, the Georgia
Higher Education
Assistance Corporation
and the Georgia Higher
Education Assistance
Authority. He has been
listed in Who's Who in
America since 1956.

McNutt, choir directors,
and Mrs. McNutt,
proximately $14,450,000 in the past year.
The findings are that girls consistently
outspend boys at all stages. Their money
goes principally for cosmetics, beauty aids,
jewelry, clothing, records, trinkets and the
like.
The boys’ outlays are mostly for dating,
sports, cars and general entertainment.
However, for retail merchants, what
teenagers spend directly is only part of the
picture. Marketing studies show that these
juniors have a strong influence over other
family purchasing, ranging from the type of
car that is bought to the kind of food that is
served.
Nationally, they affect some S6O billion of
such expenditures, it is estimated.
At that rate, Houston County’s teenagers
have a voice in the spending of an additional
$30,201,000 a year, based upon local con
sumer figures.
