GILBERT'S "What Young People Think" Nation's Teen-Agers Discuss Primary Virtues By ilANCY GILBERT Pmtdtnt, Olttort Reteareh, Inc. tt you're looking for a sure-fire Icebreaker at jour next party, just throw out this question to your guests: "What virtue do you consider most important?" Everyone will have an opinion, and their and reasons will reveal a great deal about themselves. The HOC from coast to coast wio responded t. our survey on the subject listed some 40 separate virtues as most important tr them. All the time-norx-red ones were faith, toy- and charity.

But there were tome, like devotion to non-violence that are associated with today's hippie cociet). Honesty received aa overwhelming plurality of our teen-ag- votes. Thirty-eight per cent of both boye and girls felt this was the most Important trait anyone eould possess. Many youths com- mooted that "without honesty, there could be no other virtue." Bob Uhner, 16, of BloomfleJd, N.J. put it this way, "People who are not honest will not be thought of as possessing any virtue.

You only believe a man until he lies." Frltndlws Next Frtnedliness wu valued most by about IS per cent of our youth. Zvi Greismann of Newark, N.J. said, one achieves tlhis virtue, he can automatically communicate with his fellow man." A Terte Haute, girl, Kathleen Fast, observed that, "Right now, my friends are the most important things in my life." One out of ten teen-agers cited moderation in all things as the prime virtue. Joe Ann Criscuola, 15, of New Haven, felit that "Lack of moderation in any one area could get you into trouble, lut by being moderate, you can have all the other virtues and be a well-rounded individual." Many Joys wid had difficulty selecting a single most Important virtue and grouped two or three traits together. The two coupled most often were filth and tolerance, Interestingly, faith received a lot of solo votes too tolerance was nearly a 1 a thought of in combination with an other virtue.

Sue Gustafson, 16, of Detroit, presented a practical outlook. "In this world there are going to be a lot of things you won like, but you'd better learn to tolerate them." VicH Jenkins, aUo 16, of Middletown, who coupled tolerance with friendliness explained, to be a snob and tolerance, to respect Custom Garden and Yard Rolovator With a HOWARD ROTAVATOR For bettor gardens, have them Retavated this fall.

HlB The religious people and the flower children who advocate love as the basis of all human relations, have a champion In Don Brosfoy of Palos Verdes, who preached, "The world would be perfect if love were the motivation of all things." About six per cent of our respondents agreed. A Miami, youth, Rickle Bass stated that, people loved all mankind and respected others, there would be no wars or conflicts." Deborah Schwartz, a 17- year-old PWladelphian, thought that "intellectual honesty and appreciation of simplified beauty" were of prime Importance. Several teen-agers mentioned "dedication to one's mattw what the consequences." Their pet causes ranged from civil disobedience to fostering the non-violent anti-war movement through freedom marches, to Improving race relations to Impeaching Earl Warren. As might be expected, the boys and girls dlffere don the relative importance of certain virtues Honesty and friendliness placed la tht first and second slots by both sexes, but from third place down, there wss no accord.

Thirteen per cent of the fellows thought bravery most important; only two per cent of the girls agreed. Virginity was stressed by nearly 14 per cent of the girls; only one per cent was stressed by nearly 14 pre cent of the girls; only one per cent of the boys felt the same way. Paul Ramirts of Washington, D.C. spoke for 10 per cent of the males and only two per cent of the girls when he stated, "Ambition and industriousness are most important because imbitimis person who applies himself will always get the most out of Obedience impressed 46 girts; not even one fellow listed it as a virtue. But, as Grace Casals, a 19-year- old New York City girl pointed out, selecting one virtue as the most important Is really inconsequential.

"All these virtues are closely related and some depend In part upon others," she said.
