Doily Nerthwetfteris 22 Jan. 3, 1963" Young Peoph Look for Jobs CTOCTS I3UTH (By Cart N. Nenpert, MJ. State HealtL Officer) "What Young People Think" Teen-Agers Know Where They're Going 100 Previous Pell i Present Poll Sometimes the Mobilization program itself is the direct beneficiary. When it cast around for suitable locations for its four neighborhood ice centers, where on-the-spot help is given to families in difficulties, it found ramshackk buildings in dire need of repair.

-f A nedr cted building in the' area was renovated by the more skill ful youngsters for use as in shop- training. Here teen-agers whose lives have been so battered that they had nearly given up are put ting together bookcases, that will later be sold at cost to community agencies. Others are being taught to re pair broken electrical connections and handle a soldering iron. At another location, a conscientious ested in these fields is down to 43 per cent Interest in science and math has declined from 29 per cent to 19 per cent. Medicine and teaching previously attracted about 25 per cent of teen-agers; medicine's rating is now up to 27 per cent, and teaching went down to about 23 per cent Most teen-agers seem to rely on their own judgment in making their decisions.

"All through school I have found my talents and interests lie in math and science," explains SCIENCE, MATH SCIENCE, ENGINEERING 55 50 many when he says "A student should not be pressured into making a decision he may regret. Instead he should be given as much guidance as possible." As Kay smith, 16, of Nashville, says, "Older people don't realize we are having a hard tune trying to make up our minds. GUbert Youth Service The modern teen-ager, contrary to what many of his elders think, has very definite ideas of what he wants to make his life work. Our latest nationwide survey shows 84 per cent of girls and 79 per cent of boys nave decided on the occupations they want to pursue. But teen-agers don't want to be pressured into hasty decisions nor into fulfilling their parents' dreams of a career.

"There is too much pressure," says Lynne Rottunda, 16, of Sioux City, Iowa. "People who try to influence you aren't really thinking about you, but what they would do if they could live their lives over." i Some 88 per cent of girls and 86 per cent of boys feel they will stick by their choices. However, Dixie Williams, 15, of Evansville, states succinctly the reason given by many girls who think they might not follow through, "I'd rather get married." Others who waiver about their selections worry over whether their parents can afford the educational expenses, whether they can succeed in 'particular fields and if something else might turn out to be more interesting to them later in life. Present Generation Changes The major selections are tradi tional. Girls prefer teaching (18 per cent) and nursing (15 per cent).

Among the boys, medicine and the law (10 per cent each) are the leading choices. Less popular fields are business for girls and journalism for boys. Distinct changes seem to have occurred in the young people's choices over the past five years. In a previous poll 55 per cent told us they planned to enter one of the professions science or engineering, teaching, medicine, law and the like. Now the proportion inter Ope" Frietoys TW 9 PJet.

Some 24 oer cent of fiirls and 27 per cent boys state their par ents help most in making the decision. Teachers seem to influence only two per cent of girls and about five per cent of boys. While the majority of those responding claim no one is pressuring them to choose their life's work now, a sizable percentage (39, for girls, and 35; for boys) do complain their parents are too anxious over their decisions. "My parents want me to decide now as I have only one more year of school left," says Richard Larson, 16, of Bonne, Iowa.

And Levon Buller, 16, of Lansing, complains "Our counselors and my social studies teacher keep screaming to find out right away what you want to be. Approximately 90 per cent of students at Michigan State University change majors, still they insist we have to choose now in high school." More help and less pressure is the plea of 27 per cent of girls and 48 per cent of boys. "I think a counselor should discuss your strong points with you to help you come to a decision," states Larry Hill, 16, of University Heights! Ohio. Fred Volk, 18, of Woodmont, expresses the opinion of GSbert Yoatk Research Do teen-agers have a natural aversion to work? Do they shirk responsibility, take the easy way out, and specialize in free-riding? This is an accusation that has been hurled at middle class youngsters. You'd think it would be even more true of the less-privileged.

But in the heart of one of New York City's highest delinquency areas, the Lower East Side, kids are clamoring for work and getting it. Under the newly launched Mobilization forOfouth program, de--signed to battle juvenile delinquency on many fronts, youngsters who have never had a job are finding work through a Youth Job Center. The day the Cenler opened its doors, 98 teen-agers" came job-hunting. Where other agencies in the past had toiled without too much success to interest under privileged dropouts in the joys of work, the Center was bumming with activity. The work program's chief, Dr.

Melvin Herman, says, we can offer subsidized work opportunities, we can these kids a job. This way, they don't get that feeling of hopeless ness they hae when they ask for work and are turned down." The subsidized job system puts the teen-agers to work as paint ers, repairmen, carpenters and roofers for the non-profit agencies in the neighborhood, with a base hourly pay of a dollar an hour. UW Receives Federal Grant For Building WASHINGTON (AP)-The U.S Public Health Service has an nounced award of a $629,206 grant to the University of Wisconsin for a new veterinary and science research building on the Madison campus. fhe service said Wednesday that the grant completes financ ing for the building which will cost about $1,400,000. The balance of the money will be provided by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and from gifts and grants and from sale of land in the Hill Farm area near Madison.

The school also received additional grants from the federal agency. They are 200.000 for facilities and equipment for ento mology-plant pathology research and $137,074 to remodel the research laboratories in the School of Pharmacy.

This is an assumption that could reasonably be made from the preliminary estimate of vital statistics1 for 1962. If the estimate proves to be ac curate, about 94,000 babies will have blessed Wisconsin homes by the time 1962 takes its final bow.

This provisional figure is a sharp decline from the 99,000 births recorded in 1961. The projected birth rate of 23.04 per 1000 population, if it does not change significantly in final tabulations, will be the lowest recorded since the 1945 war year figure of 20.9. The declining birth rate indicat ed for the year was undoubtedly affected by the relatively low marriage rates of the past few years. The 24,000 marriages esti mated for 1962 are close to the marriage figure for 1961 when the rate of 6.0 per 1000 population was the lowest since the depression year of 1933. Our death total estimated at 38,000 this year is somewhat high er than the 1961 total.

But, in spite of the higher figure, the projected rate of 9.3 equals the 1961 rate, the lowest in Wiscon sin's recorded history. Even while birth rates seem to be leveling off, a continuing ex cess of births over deaths add up to a large gain for Wisconsin's population. The population esti mate for July 1, 1962 of 4,080,000 is 57,000 over the July 1, 1961 estimate. Continued medical and en vironmental advances can hope fully be expected to add to our span of years and so accelerated growth of our population is the outlook for the years ahead. Our population growth brings increasing recognition of many problems yet to be resolved, Among the greater number of our people living to advanced age, many are suffering from chronic diseases and disabilities that could have been prevented; many are bedridden who could be re stored to physical independence While we have made good progress, the New Year finds us still with a long road ahead.
