Kids making decisions
will learn money values
United Press International
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—
Children normally begin learning
the value of money about age 6 —
which is when parents should start
teaching them how to handle it.
“It is then when a child learns to
pass over a proffered, shiny, new
penny for a dull, worn dime, that he
demonstrates for the first time an
early understanding of money —
and how easy it is to come by,” says
a team of Purdue University ex
perts.
“How that early understanding
develops depends upon lessons,
good and bad, learned from parents,
friends, school, allowance and jobs.
It is a case of realizing you can’t have
your cake and eat it, too.”
Jan Armstrong, professor of con
sumer sciences and retailing, said
parents should sit down and explain
situations to their youngsters.
“If the child has his heart set on
summer camp, agree to split the
cost,” she said. “Stick to the agree
ment, but be realistic. If there is a
shortfall, give the child an opportu
nity to make up the difference.
“If your little girl wants a kitten,
be certain she understands that the
care and feeding of the pet are her
responsibility. If she habitually fails,
then get rid of the pet — a hard
choice, but one that must be made.”
Economics professor Marianne
Talafuse said children of the De
pression era assumed chances were
highly unlikely they’d get “it” —

money, big Christmas presents or
an ice cream soda.
“Today’s children assume ‘it’ will
be there and are surprised if ‘it’
isn’t,” she said. “It isn’t so much a
different conception of money but
rather an assumption about money.
They are confident the means will
continue to be there, somehow.”
Economics professor Dennis
Weidenaar said an allowance
shouldn’t be canceled if a child
breaks a window.
“Talk with the child and discuss
ways the new window can be paid
for,” he said. “Let the child make
the choice of giving up his allow
ance, returning part of it or taking
on an additional chore.
“Children must be given oppor
tunities to make choices.”
The professors agreed children
should be taught early about savings
accounts and interest.
“If the savings are for a new bike,
help the child celebrate when the
great day comes, to instill a sense of
accomplishment.”
But the Purdue experts frown on
rewarding a child with money for
making good grades in school.
“Grades are already a kind of con
tract between the child and his
teacher and should be his own re
ward,” they said.

Houston, fits right in with the marching Aggie Band. Young,
a freshman, is shown preparing with the band for last Satur

United Press International
CHEYENNE, Wyo.— For Paul
Zancanella, the Bureau of Land
Managment’s wild horse program is
the last roundup.
Until 1971, when Congress
passed the Wild and Free Roaming
Horse and Burro Act, ranchers in
southwestern Wyoming would turn
stallions loose on the range to roam
with the wild herds, then stage
roundups to “harvest” the progeny
to break as saddle horses, much as
inhabitants of the West have done
since the Spaniards first introduced
the horse to North America.
But the 1971 act changed that,
and now the BLM is the only group
authorized to round up the horses,
making it the only game in town for
wranglers and others who want to
work with the free-running animals.
“It’s the only way to be involved
with wild horses,” Zancanella, a
veterinarian, said. “It’s historic —
it’s the last roundup.”
Zancanella’s involvement comes
at the midpoint of a horse’s sudden
transfer to domestic existence. By
the time he deals with horses, BLM
helicopters and wranglers have ch
ased them through the mesas and
buttes of the desert-hke region into
traps — a box canyon or, in flatter
areas, a natural ravine augmented
by portable corral fencing. From
there the animals are trucked to the
BLM wild horse center in Rock
Springs.
Then Zancanella or another vet
administers a series of vaccinations
and a blood test while the horses are
confined to chutes similar to those
used for broncs in rodeos.
After they are treated by veto
narians, the horses becomeaparte
the BLM's Adopt-A-H orse pro
gram, which, along with the \
roundup” itself, has made the BUI
the centerpiece of a controversy lie|
tween ranchers and environnw
talists.
Both groups are concerned
overgrazing in the West, but tki
cannot agree on which animals tr
blame. Many ranchers accuse It
wild horses but environmentalisS
point to trespassing sheep and tf
tie. To make the squabble eva
more complicated, environment!
ists cannot agree among themsehr re Ia 1
on whether the BLM figures sho»
ing that rangelands are overstocl
with wild horses are correct.
