Little Big Shot

NEW YORK, Feb, 4—Out in Cleveland the other day, where a flock of newspaper executives were trading shop talk, one.of the big topics was the teen-ager, and how to keep him happy as a subscriber. eid . This is the final recognition of the hobbledehoy as a special person—a person of importance. The teen-ager has suddenly become big stuff, valuable as a customer and as a definite member of society. This new view of the adolescent is largely & ‘product of the post-war, and it's about the healthiest trend we've tackled in many a year. The papers, the magazines, the shops, the radios and the movies court the adolescent now.

_ For the first time, really, he is as much a part of

the population as grownup women and men,

“babies and SEnatOYE. This; ‘after a rough, unde-.

fined lot since the beginning of time. The individual Who was neither child nor man, but an awkward combination of both, had been pretty well neglected until the war, with its delinquency figures, forced him into public attention. “By virtue of being too old to cuddle and too young to ‘bat around as an adult, the teens used to live in a sort of social limbo. I suppose the psychiatrists would say they acquired a great many damaging neuroses from dweling in an extended state of uncertainty. >

An Untapped Reader Field

THERE WAS no great social nobility in the

sudden recognition of the teen-ager by the papers

and magazines and stores. The periodicals awoke to an untapped reader field. The stores came alive to a potent buyer. By aiming directly at a group which had largely gone unrecognized, they uncovered a whole new strata of the population— a segment with a definite set of habits, thoughts and needs. & Over the past year or so, the papers have made a heavy pass at the kids. The teen-ager has become important to our scheme. Where once he

Pity the Prune -

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—A prune, in my opinion, is a brunet apricot. And wrinkled at that. When squeezed it makes prune juice. I could be sued for what I think about prunes. x

If the prune merchants have any complaints:

about this dispatch, they can take ‘em up with U. 8.'Senate. As a fellow who has never been concerned about the price of prunes, I'm neutral. The prune :crisis developed out of the Senate

“NO YOU'RE NOT,” Mr. Drake snapped quickly, trying to create a Simon Legree atmosphere. “I've been instructed to call you five minutes before five.” : “You won't have to call me,” “Betty Ruffin, accounting machine operator said. “I have my own.” . “You watch,” confided Mr. Drake. “Tomorrow G1 bet alarm clocks start making their appearance.’ Mr. Tanner picked up an invoice on the clocks, loaded them in the truck and we were on our way to the school shops. I was curious to see Mr. Stark’s records. ' “I didn’t ask for a couple that were sent down but it’s all right, I guess,” said Mr. Stark. His book showed that two had been repaired during the past year. The branch library's contribution took top honors according to the records. The spot on the wall T had seen became even blacker. Mr. Stark pointed to the number 1321. It was only 14 years since 1321 had been cleaned. An-| ° other had given faithful service for 11 years. Four years and more rounded out the rest. : He keeps a record of every clock in the school system, Practically a case history is kept. He can tell you how many years a clock has been at a school, how many times it has been serviced and where it had traveled. a : “Where's the clock man?” “We don’t have our own repairman anymore,” Mr. Stark answered. ““From here they go to H. 8.

be as vital a department as the political news and the race results. The young audience has been there all the time, just waiting to be asked into the act. : I will probably sound like one of the witchdoctors again, but the result, of dignifying the youngsters is almost certain to be excellent. By making a person of him—by giving him pride in his age group and placing him into focus inthe community—a tremendous potential for present delinquency and future malconduct is chopped off at the source.
