the acton free press wednesday august 21 1968 4jyof press youth fast says vtemtis now that canada lias a prime minister who identifies with and lias generated enthusiasm for politics in young people torontos financial post has come out in favour of lowering the voting age from 2 1 to 1 8 fn a recent article they expressed the hope that the question would be examined when the longpromised revision of the elections act comes up in the new parliament they argue thai persons in the armed forces even if under 21 are entitled to vote if an 18yearold in the armed forces has the necessary intelligence why not the rest of his contemporaries in civilian life says the post one way of harnessing the enthusiasm of youth and of reducing the present frustrations is to give the young people greater responsibility it s high time that the voting age was dropped from 21 18 time being a total experience b3 fresh tracks by barbara mcintosh everybody talks about the generation gap thescdays they define it as a lack of communications between those over 30 and those under its a strange inexplicable atmosphere of suspicion and hostility that can often result in unfair generalizations and unfounded judgments recently an editorial appeared in the collingwood enterprisebulletin it wasnt a spectacular story but it stands as a prime example of what can happen when people allow preconcelved ideas to rule their decisions steven lebo a young canadian who likes books and happens to wear a beard tried to establish a boutique in collingwood pressure from a reactionary town establishment stopped him according to the editorial stephen is a young man who appears wellread honest and experienced with life in spite of his lack of formal education hut it is easy to understand the fear that ha could instill in the heart of a straightlaced chamber of commerce member over 30 he has an interesting but unorthodox life story w6rst of all he is an idealist and he is determined to be himself in a world that demands conformity his parents ore jewish canadians but he was born in cuba although he undoubtedly could have been a first class student stephen became b67eil with school and dropped out he left lo work his way around the world and ended up farming on a kibbutz in israel for two years here he became caught up in the idea of buying a farm in south america and setting it up on the kibbutz principle for homeless children stephen relumed to canada and early this year he got a job at wasaga beach then he began working on a farm near collingwood at the first of the summer he got the idea of starting a small book and record boutique on the collingwood main street a monthtomonth lease was arranged in a vacant shop and stephen ordered his stock then without warning or reason he was told that the lease would not be renewed after the end of august he could not afford to set up shop for two months i suspect that the situation developed through misunderstanding apparently stephen didnt announce publicly that he had a bank account a credit rating and an uncle who was backing him as legal trustee he didnt tell the town that he intended to shave before lie opened the established business powers presumably assumed that stephen was the beginning of some type of hippie cult in collingwood they were afraid of a record and book boutique called bag end because it was different and they were afraid of stephen because he was different the editorial sums up witii the statment we must never condemn impulsively we must remember every person regardless of outward appearances deserves the opportunity to take a chance amen i time being has transformed the automotive building at the cne into a total experience in the lights and colour of youth it vibrates with
