NEW YORK (AP) -- What's | your guess on the favorite sport of teenage American girls? Telephoning? Parking? Past- ing their hair up on top of their funny colors, All wrong. It's bowling. At least that's what it says in Seventeen. _ The magazine made a survey of the 11,065,000 U.S. teenagers and came up with the figure that 83.8 per cent of them bowl. Anybody who would believe that would believe anything. The typical U.S. teenager who emerges must live where there is lots of ice and snow, beaches and horses. ! THEY RIDE HORSES For example, the survey said 54.1 per cent ride horses. And 82.8 per cent ride bicycles. . That is pretty good, since only 66.7 per cent own bikes. It didn't say how many own horses. Some 70.7 per cent ice skate and '54.1 per cent roller skate. One foot at a time, appar- ently, since only 53.5 per cent own ice skates. Only 22.8 per cent own roller skates. This stack of statistics was compiled by asking 1,418 teen- age girls what sports they like. Apparently they answers were | multiplied by 7,816 te make 11,- Teen-Age Girls Favor Bowling 000,000. Statistics like that made Tom Dewey president, for a lit- tle while. Crusader Crew Enrols New Rangers : SRS CRUSADER With Thinking Day just over, our thoughts recently have of course been turned along that line, At our meeting on the 24th Mate Pearse conducted a very informative and a very moving Thinking Day service gave us a chance to learn of, or review, the life of Lord Baden- Powell and his contributions which we are still enjoying to- day. Tied in with the service was the enrolment of April Seeley and Judy Aylesworth. What a better background for entering Rangers than _ the Guide Law and Promise. I'm sure these girls appreciate all the more the meaning of the Promise and __ Responsibility they -accepted. In addition, that evening was the big night when the awards for selling the greatest number of chocolate bars were present- ed. The lucky girls were Cathy Duquette, Louise Bilyj, and Mary 'Kolynko. And guess what the prizes were? Huge choco- late bars! It's a good thing they have all got a sweet tooth. On the weekend of Feb. 22 and 23, Judy and Louise put their Campcraft knowledge to work and supervised a Guide Camp at Camp Adamac, New- tonville. To drive them to even greater distress, some fellow Rangers arrived to spend Sat- urday night -- just to liven things up. (As if they need to be). They managed to get into more mischief than the Guides. And Mary Ann, with 12 baloney sandwiches! Twelve! And she ate thém all. We have even gone so far as to absorb a little culture in this crew. Last Saturday six of us visited¢ Massey: Hall in Toronto to hear the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, courtesy of: the Guide Association. This may have started a new trend for us. Down with the Beatles! -- well, maybe not as drastic as all that. We did enjoy the concert though and I think the future will find us including this type of entertainment in our activi- ties a little more often. Exams, exams, exams; looks like things will be rather slow for the next week or so. e . PHONE 728-9651 e ANTONIO'S Coiffures 136 SIMCOE SOUTH Just South \of Memorial Park heads?
