and quelle when father ryan will become the pastor of church of our lady in guelph and father zettel will be the new pastor at riverside at kincardine a party wu planned and held he sacred guelph last sunday night at the sacred heart hall in rockwood news news aid views by lorraine i wai highly incensed the other day when i happened lo turn on otar television set to a program entitled one for the girls as each asaaat wee introduced to the viewers one very rude individual came on muttering loudly about how he had run into a group of those horribly filthy teenage lads with their long hair down the street and be made mention of the fact that he just didnt know what wu wrong with the kids nowadays now there is no one thing in my estimation more annoying or even more ridiculous than attempting to categorize any one group of people into one small pot this is of course being done all the time men are continually generalizing with such a remark u darn women drivers thus intimating that every driver who is female must automatically be lousy women also generalize with kids theyre all the tame or men you just cans- trust them little old ladies are often caught laying boys will be boys as their favorite grandchild drops bower pot on the front sidewalk and to it is people constantly use wornout cliches oa whole groups of individuals which very often casts tome sort of stigma on any person who happens to fall into that pellicular category thjt is of course all pure nonsense in an age wherein education and progress are such important factors with people thinking and actually accomplishing more than at any time in history how can any person just simply wrap up a whole group of people into one package maybe its because i belive in rebellion in areas of injustice and intolerance thai i feel a sort of affinity with this new crop of young people as long u their resistance is leashed so u not to cause damage or destruction to the property or the rights of any other individual it is a very healthy attitude anyone who jutt sits back and placidly accepts situations to which they mentally rebel but is too cowardly to protest aloud is in my estimation the only person who should be categorized and lose his identity u an individual lets face it naturally these tremendous gangs of protestors about whom we are reading of wrecking university properties destroying materials and intimidating decent people are not the kind of rebels one can condone because their acomplishmenu are nothing mora than that of creating havoc certainly the modem hippie with his particular jargon which mutilates the flow of the english language is not an individual because he is simply emulating all bit brother hippies but to put all young people who sport beards and are young in years into one large group of indolenta and blackguards is a terribly bigotted and shortsighted thing to da todays kids with their long hair their mlnisklru and flambuoyancy are not lost generation as tome people refer to them i refute the fact that they ate all radicals with selfish motives and intent i have met some terrific young people whose ideals would astound many adults in many cases they think very deeply and are concerned with the havoc aroused by their peers they are in fact tome of our future dedicated citizens who will contribute great things to our society who has forgotten the baggy and draped trousers of the jitterbug days some hundred years ago when i wu growing upt parents then were horrified and also wondered what would become of us all grandparents will be able to remember the rebuke of the adults in their young teen years when flappers were in full bloom every generation and every society has its own thing and if older people are not willing to understand the rights of these kids and accept their own responsibility to respect and commend them for it then they themselves are acting on intolerant impulses after all who but todays adults are responsible for encouraging the forthright speakout attitude of the modem teenager who through the medium of home and school business mens group enthusiastic school boards manned by parents encouraged the building of better education facilities in which these boys ang girls were taught to stand up and tpeak ws all did this together and for this we should take pride in the fact that these kids dare to have attitudes dare to exercise their rights as tadhriduah to talk u they think dress as they desire and tire as they with providing that they are not parasitica not taaycirntrhlng on the rights of others and are courteous to the other mduah wtso trust that they will also be prepared to exercise their taaajmt wiadom with understanding and respect to the offspring approximately 250 people
