By ROBERTA ROESCH Many young people who talk to me pinpoint as major prob- lems their lack of opportunity to turn time into dollars, They'd like to land some chores for cash, But they don't know where to get them--espe- cially if they're under 16 and find it hard getting jobs. Quite often their parents feel the same, too, as expenses mount for the young folks. In fact, one mother expressed it this way as she asked about jobs for her daughter. "Just last night I had to tell Turning Time Into Dollars Calls For Imagination nica, their price in advance. Once started, they kept them- selves busy, that turned into cash, simply because they filled the needs that exist in every town.
