NEW YORK, June 21-—1It is difficult to dissect the basic reasons why so many of our teen-agers have suddenly become painful brats who are asking out loud for an old-fashioned session in the woodshed. I doubt if the heaviest-browed sociologist in the land could give it to you straight. What we know at the moment is that we have a bunch of youngsters who are bent on raising hell—the hot-rod speedsters, the youthful gangsters, the stick-up artists, the swaggering junior hoodlums who sport “zip” guns, and the’ nicer, tamer kids who merely set ‘fire to theaters and make unnecessary noises.
Theater Bans Rowdies
RECENTLY in Teaneck, N. J., a theater manager banned a bunch of adolescents from his movie house because they raised such a row that you couldn’t hear the movie for the swishing of the water pistols and the impromptu fires they touched off in the lounge. This manager later quit his job in face of a boyish boycott that threatened the financial health of his theater. The papers seem crammed with youthful slayings and mayhems today. A report from Los An-. geles says that at least one teen-age uplift group has been discontinued because people are no long‘er willing to donate dough to the furthefment of juvenile character when said characters are out on the town, pushing over candy stores and mugging innocent adults. In New York at least one _judge has gotten very tough with the zip-gun kids. “Act like hoodlums,” snarled the judge at a fresh batch of fuzz faced malefactors, “and, by golly, you will get treated like hoodlums in the courts.” The judge was reacting naturally from a recent guerrilla action in which the infants ere running around shooting each other dead for

No Muss, Fuss
By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, June 21—Friend of mine named Thomas J. Connors runs a bar and grill on ‘Wisconsin Ave. A cool place, and calm and clean for a mug of beer. The other evening, to the amazement of the regulars, he blossomed out with a dinner menu more elaborate than that of the Ritz. He must have. had two dozen different kinds - of meals de luxe, ranging from roast turkey with giblet gravy-to imperial crab with drawn butter. I had the filet migion and mighty’ ‘good eating it-was; too.
“Nothing to it,” said Mr. Connors. He'd hired no chef, nor. even installed a kitchen. His dinners came pre-cooked and quick-frozen
on aluminum plates, sealed on top with aluminum foil, and packed neatly in_cardboard boxes. He heats 'em to order in a small electric oven in eight minutes flat. No muss. No fuss. Nor even any dish washing because he throws the plates away.
Makes Deal With Pal
THESE WIFE-SAVER dinners, similar to
those served on some airlines for the past several -
years, are packed by an outfit in Philadelphia, which hopes soon to distribute them in grocery stores. So I made a small cash deal with my pal for a preview of this easy-way eating in the home. In our deep freeze in the kitchen are a couple of dozen boxes of dinners for all moods and all occasions. For ordinary meals en famille we've got Hungarian goulash with buttered noodles, beef stew with fresh vegetables, and spaghetti and meatballs with cheese sauce and green beans, For New Englanders, in case any should drop

On-top of one burner of the stove I put a plate of roast. beef dinner; with corn and mashed: potatoes, so the .label said. On another I put a crab dinner with tomato sauce, peas and French fried potatoes. The plates, according to directions,
go directly on ‘the fire and stay there for 12 minutes, or a little longer than in the special oven.
Spuds Are Soggy — THE ALMINUM foil on top, crimped around the ‘edges, keeps the stéam in. So 12 minute$ later 1 herded Mrs. O. onto the front lawn, I called
her back for dinner. She had the beef and pro-.
nounced it fine. I took the crab and it was excellent, too, except for the potatoes.

So after dinner, we “threw our r plates into the trash basket. My bride washed our knives and forks. This took her 30 seconds. She said she; guessed she was wrong. Science was wonderful.
