Religious leaders have made a strong effort in recent years to liberalize traditional concepts and meet the needs of the most inquisitive generation of youth in history. How has this affected the teenager? We probed this area in a recent survey, asking four key questions of 1.085 young men and women. Over 38 per cent of those questioned were Protestant, 30 Catholic and 21 Jewish. The rest mentioned some other faith or did not answer. More than 70 per cent of the Protestant boys and girls said they were convinced of the soundness of their doctrines.

Nearly 76 per cent of the Catholics agreed, as did 64 per cent of the Jewish youth. you have certain reservations or was the next question. This was the breakdown: Protestants with per cent. Protestants with per cent. Catholics with per cent.

Catholics with per cent. Jews with per cent. Jews with per cent. Sixty-two per cent of the Protestant teeners said they attended church regularly, as did 84 per cent of the Catholics. Only 25 per cent of the Jewish boys and girls replied to this question, leaving open the possibility that more of them might have replied in the affirmative had the word or been used, although church was intended to include all houses of worship.

A 15-year-old Catholic girl from Middle Village, N.Y., expressed some doubts about the doctrines of her church, yet made this statement: there are many mysteries which we cannot fully understand, we believe because we believe the word of From Beechwood, Ohio, came this strong expression of doubt by a 17-year-old Jewish boy: feel that only a child would believe such A Lincoln, girl, 14 years old and a Protestant, said she had been confirmed by a remarkable pastor who has helped me a and therefore was convinced of the soundness of her doctrines.

HANNON Just imagine you were a musician in a teen group back in about 1959.

You recorded a record and it go, so a few years later the group disbanded and you settled down to a more peaceful way of life. Then, all of a sudden, something crazy happens. A disc jockey in a large city pulls your old disc out of the dusty files, plays it a few times, the requests start coming in, and you have a national record hit on your hands. Sounds like a fairy tale. Maybe so, but it has just happened again.

The name of the song, or should we say dance, is the The lucky group goes by the name of Tommy James and the Shondells. After almost seven years, the group that just seem to get it across then, now delights a whole new generation of young dancers. At last report the record company was going wild trying to locate all of the original members of the group. Some were married with families, and in most cases had given up the business. This the first time something has happened like this.

Oldsters may remember the fantastic revival of a song called by the late Ted Weems and his orchestra. In this case it was a much longer period of time between the original and the revival, something like 20 years. Strange things do happen in this business, which reminds me of the record Francis Craig and his orchestra made a number of years ago. The band was getting ready to break up, but thought that it should record its theme song. for a memory sake.

They needed another side, so the leader dashed off something called Nobody seemed to care about the theme song, but sold over two million records. After that the band just quit the business. I guess hope in those old platters. You can never tell when going to start playing an oldie but goodie, and make a brand new spanking hit out of it. If older than five years, it just may sound like something new to the present young generation.
