4 I@ Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 26, 1965 EDITORIAL COMMENT Men Have- Abdicated Vaniers Visit Expo 67 Site Us Youngmans don't get much ta brag about, but believe we have a "f irst" for this neck of the woods. On May l9th, my wife chased me down cellar for a bushel of dwarf dahlia bulbs, and blowed if one af themn wasn *t sporting twa loveiy blooms which is surprîsing because they came from Pontypool ta Bowmanville, in Februarv, in an open truck, in two degrees below zero temperature. The Editor can vouch for the x'eracitv of this because he saw the flowers in the bulb container before my wife planted them aulside wbere they are still perkin' altboughi For rnany young people the world fteems ta be nothing more "than a closed room with a rat race going on in the middle," according ta Rabbi Stuart E. Rosenberg. "Some will play the game~ according ta the rules, but they don't really believe in rules," he coftinued, The religiaus leader made the clos- ing address ta the 2th annual confer- ence of the Ontario Recreatian Associa- tion be]d recently at Toronto's Skyline Hotel. More than 300 delegates fromn across the Province aîtendcd the tbree- day conference. ."Taday rebellion of young people* against their eiders is passe! Children no longer walk ail over their parents - now tbey sec through them," said Rabbi Rosenberg, "because there is notbing selid in tbem. One hundred years ago parents used ta quote Scripture ta their children: "Thou shaît not!" . . . Fifty years ago they twisted this into: "Per- haps it would be better if yau didn't . ..Now they say:: "Love me and do as you please" The fear of being rejected by the young is a very real concern in our society, where the worship of youth has become so widespread. Fearing rejec- tion we become more and more per- missive - - we love our children be- cause we are often afraid that if we didn't love them, they wouldn't love us. Parents wrho take an attitude ta- ward their children such as "It's up to you. yau make up your own mind," are shirking their responsibiiity. Such par- ents are eitber mindless or lazy or bath if tbey provide no leadership and con- crete explanation of their attitudes and opin ions ta their youtb, accord ing ta, the Rabbi. "Another unfartunate develapment in aur society is the destruction of the patriarchies," he said. Men have abdi- cated their raIe as head of tbe family because tbcy are too busy making a living. Vihen thcy came home the wife bas already made most of tbe important decisions, f rom buying a bouse ta buying the children's ciothes. "Ibere are very few men in the lives of children," he concluded. "The fathers are not present at critîcai mom- ents. Teachers and Youtb Leaders must help ta avercome this vacuum; tbey must provide principles, beliefs with- out being dogmatic. Teachers and Youth Leaders must beip change a student's attitude that the past is irrelevant and the present ail important. The teacher should strive ta provide a social vision for the youth and help reduce their ap- prebension taward the uncertain future embedded in our society?" Have We Gone Overboard on q Il Too Politicians and press citics wbo Are frequently raugbly handled in print are foever preacbing that tbe press bas too much power. Recent govcmnmenî action in the budget and bbc performance af two previaus governments. suggest that there maY be sametbing in wbat these crîtics say, comments The Renfrew Advance. Vibat we are saying is that Indîmeclly, the last three governments appear fearful af offending Time maga- zine and the Readem's Digest. The Royal Commission on Publica- tions severai years ago found tbat be- tween them Ibose two magazines take 40 per cent off aIl the magazine adver- tising revenue in Canada at a time when Canadian magazines are strug- gling ta survive. The U.S. magazines do not compete arn equal footing. They use al their previously paid for mater- ial and put il in a sa called "Canadian edition" complete wibh alI-Canadian advertising - an action that constitutes l a s rt---s----ou- and spi his hip pocket. A whisper which maY eventually grow inta a shout is the gradually growing impression aI some employers that the modern empbasis on education is raising a generation of students rath- er than workers. Vie may be worsbip- ping at the altar of education with sa much effect tbat the student gains the impression that be is somewbat set apart from the general run of man- kind and bas onl y ta don a pin-stripe suit to earn bis pav upon completîng college. Vie bave no intention off decrying a university education; il is a perfcctly logîcal step for as many as possible ta take. However, as with every mass movement, there is a danger of a cer- tain unhealthy bysteria setting in. Let us not lose aur perspective on the true measure af a man's success which rp- mains bis ability ta pay bis debts, ta live honorabl v and well witbin the law, and ta raise bis family to the very best of bis ability. Much Power "dumping" and which gives f hemn an unfair advanbage. Mm. Diefenbaker's goverment didI flot implement bbc Coàmmisslon's find- ings; Mr. Pearson's govemniment bas - With two big exceptions, Time and Reader's Digest. Then the net resuit is that the barn door is iocked aller the horse has gone. Not oniy are those two magazines lef t ta make a great deal off maney, the *v are pratecled from fumîher competition from their own country. No anc bas sought ta bar foreign magazines in Canada. Time and Read- er 's Digest couid circulate their regu- lar editions here if thev chose, as do many other U.S. publications. Sa wby are these two magazines given sucb preferential treatment at the expense af Canadian publications? The answier to that question would ap- pear ta be, Becausr the 'v arc Big and Influential... another way af saying Power. Please Turn Up the Volume Accomding ta scientisîs, the sound levels on Ibis continent are increasing an avemage af one decibel eacb year. The volume bas now reached 30 deci- bels. This is a quarter of the volume that can cause permanent damage ta the ears. One reason for sa much noise is the increased tise of machines- autos, power mawers, typewriters, refrigera- tors, record players. Scientists can eliminate mucb of the sound but, strangely enougb, we in- human beings demand more and more noise. Vihen a manufacturer OI power rnowems made bis machine less noisy, the sales feil off. Buyers tbought the qUiet motor couldn't have much power.

Vieil, it's nice ta know most off the noises could be eliminated if eîîough off us wanted peace and quiet.

The modern emphasis on those twen- tieth century twin gods. success and maney, has reached ridiculous propor- tions. True, a university education is a desirable thing for many, states The St. Mary's Journal-Argus, but it does not necessarily follow that a person wîthout a degree is anything less than a first class citizen. In actual fact, there is ample evidence ta support the think- ing tbat in many ways a good technical or vacationai training wilI contribute every bit as much ta the t'ltimate suc- cess af a persan as a degree. In the final analysis, the energy and wîliingness ta work af any mndi- vidual, regardless off the field he may be in, bas a great deal mare ta do with bis impact upon saciety than.the mere fact that he carnies a degree around in George.
