To look qt the picture* around the house, you'd think that kids just jump in age from five to fifteen—with no inbetween. We know we're a little awkward ... that we’re growing much too fast... and that it’s hard for the older folks to figure us out sometimes. But we have our problems, too, with being too young for this and too old for that . . . it’s kind of hard to remember that, in spite of freckles and pigtails, we're people, too! L.

Physicians Named To Examine Youths Bluffton Youths To Face Mental Exams Bluffton, Ind.. March 23-(UP)— Two physicians were appointed today to examine Kenneth Bennett and Joe Compton, Bluffton youths who pleaded not guilty by reason of temporary insanity to the kidnaping of a farmer near here! Compton. 26, and Bennett, 21. have been charged with kidnaping, grand larceny, robbery and vehicle theft. A motion to consolidate the charges and hold a single trial was denied yesterday by special judge Mart J. O'Malley, Huntington. The kidnapping count charges that the youths kidnapped farmer Jess Easterley last Jan. 22 and forced him to accompany them while they escaped after allegedly stealing a truck from the Bluffton clinic. Their pleas claimed that they “did not have sufficient mental capacity to comprehend the consequence” of their acts at ’he time. Drs. H. D. Brickley and Truman E.
