russell horsburgh director toronto youth anonymous autho of director toronto youth anonymous author of viewpoint by fr gerald craig ofm cap holy cross church last august an event took place which drew a lot of comment and from which some interesting observations can be drawn the woodstock rock festival or the big woodstock rock trip as it was called by one magazine held court for three days on a 600acre dairy farm in the catskill mountains of new york state the acid and rock music played almost continuously through the weekend as five hundred thousand young people arrived and survived the happening watching television reports of the festival not a few expected trouble at any moment the scene had all the ele mentsa throng of young people drugs alcohol a desper ate food shortage plus a healthy dose of bad weather con ditions calculated to stretch even the coolest of temper- ments the trouble the public authorities expected never materialized potential crises arose but were averted by cooperative action the kids lived elbow to elbow in the most exposed crowded raindrenched uncomfortable kind of community and there wasnt so much as a fist fight perhaps society can learn something from events like the campin and rockm at woodstock young people and trouble are not always synonymous unfortunately society is quick to apply the actions of a few immature selfish rad icals to an entire age group a generation reared in dif ferent times is sometimes too quick and too general in clas sifying people with long hair elephant pants beads and bongoes as valueless irresponsible weird and maybe im moral society is not entirely at fault though it reacts to what it sees it is generally conceded however that the notorious few of any group generally receive most of the publicity todays young people hava ideas about themselves others and the world in which they live as every genera tion of youth has had before tnem they have valid propo sals for making this world a better place for all their pro test indicates that they want an end to global quarrelling discrimination and insincerjty they are willing to go to some length to make their point an admirable quality in these days of noninvolved anonymity and apparent ap athy but the outward image comes into conflict with the socalled way things are done presumptions lead to judg ments on both sides phraseytheeturned off tuned out cop out and opt out fill ftrfe air where there shoujd be a willingness to listen and an attempt to respect and under stand when this happens the generations miss the oppor tunity lo learn from each other and build together if the phenomenon of woodstock arid the flower chil drens ideals of peace real caring for one another and unity are indications of what is to come in years ahead the fut ure looks hopefully brighter perhaprthe age of aquar ius will match the prodigious technological advances of the last thirtyodd years with giant strides forward in social jus tice genuine equality and brotherhood among all people and an equitable distribution of the worlds wealth there are two detours which could delay the arrival of the time these signs give promise to on is the route some take to make their point they have chosen to opt out of the society they once hoped to influence and improve this is unrealistic avoiding a problem does not solve h any change involves being in touch with those one wishes to influence worthwhile ideas shouted in a vacuum end up being exercises in futility improvement will come much faster if each knows the other and accepts hit feelings secondly protest and demonstration give powerful witness and help awaken social consciousness to conditions crying for solution thr surgeons scalpel a tool to heal can become the instrument of death if used improperly or with imprudent force when protest results in property destruction rioting and lawlessness its intent and projected impact however laudable is lost more often than not the backlash is severe when this happens the favourable in fluence of events ilka woodstock the oxfam marches and the unicef project at- halloween is negated one final observation when you hear statements like there are a lot of us here if we are going to make it you had better remember that the guy next to you is your brother you cannot help but think that in spite of the way some appear and others react young people are real istic and ere building on the solid foundation of brotherly trust a concept some of their elders seem so listless to en courage carnation talls 2 33 royal gold butter qj 21 iga sliced
