the three and a half inches be
gan to move earthward. The

at 5:30 A.M. they bagged a
spike deer.

What About Weekly Teenage Allowances?
HOW OO I GET IN THESE
FI NANCIAL HOLES , j .
ANYWAY! J'
Every time teenagers get to
gether, boys or girls, one of their
topics of conversation, and they are
seriously concerned, is their al
lowance. It takes more for a boy
to have a date in 1953 than it did
his father in 1938; money just
doesn’t stretch like it did. I don’t
think I know a teenager who be
lieves his allowance Is adequate.
What’s the answer? Does Dad
dig deeper into his pocket to keep
son and daughter financially sol
vent?
There are a couple of facts the
teenager should consider before he
answers with a big YES. First, Dad
may not be able to dig deeper. And
second, even ix ne can rm no* a*
sure he should.
The theory of allowances haa
been it gives a child a feeling ef
Independence and teaches him how
to manage money. That is true for
younger children. I don’t believe
tt is always true with the teenager.
A number of parents I know fol
low this plan, even though they can
afford rather large allowances for
their children:
They give their teenager* an al
lowance, but expect and urge them
to supplement it with their own
earnings. These parent* report that
their teenagers, especially the
boys, suddenly acquire a new re
spect for money if they have had
to earn it. And in every case, the
parents report, they begin to man
age their funds more efficiently.
Sounds reasonable to me. What
do you think?
