WHAT about "going steady" tor teen-agers? Should teen-agers drink? And what should be the rules about the family car?
A group of New Orleans parents this week gave' its answers to these questions and set about making the answers known to other parents.
The group is the Parents' Council of New I Orleans, an organization seeking to establish a * \ voluntary code of conduct for teen-agers. *
Far from being "against fun" for teen-agers, |: the council merely wants to keep fun within f proper limits.
If parents agree on what those limits should be, the council feels, they will be more readily § accepted by their children.
Here are the council's pointers on the "Four Ds" for teen-agers — Dating, Drinking, Driving and Dress:
DATING
Steady dating *(frequent and exclusive dating of one boy or one girl) should be permitted only by those who can prudently think of an early marriage. This excludes seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th and 11th graders and 12th graders if they fully intend to go to coUege and thus not marry for several years.
DRINKING
Alcoholic beverages should not be served at ANY teenage party, and parents should be ready to exert united action against bars which serve liquor to minors.
_ DRIVING
The teen-ager's use of the family automobile should be considered a privilege, not a right. That privilege should be lost for fast and reckless driving, driving while drinking, overloading the car, not using it for the purpose for which it was requested and staying out after the time agreed upon, unless a telephone call is made for permission. Teenagers also "should be expected, to help with keeping the car clean and running some of the family errands. DRESS

I
1. Girls should be helped to understand that simplicity of dress and a minimum of makeup are indications of good taste. ■ %
2; Boys should dress neatly and inconspicuously. ■ t
3. The occasion dictates the proper type clothes to be worn, for instance, Bermuda shorts are not acceptable for all social functions.
4. Provocative, tight-fitting clothes, such as short shorts, should be eliminated from girls' wardrobes.
