the late dr bill kenney who died last week he was revered and loved as a man who put service above self his unselfish devotion to the medi cal profession went far beyond the call of duty extending into the complexities of human compassion dr kenney s is one of the last of a vanishing breed the general practi tioner who was prepared to treat any kind of disease or injury under any kind of condition although he trained in modern hospitals and was acknowledg ed as an expert in the field of obstet rics when ho came back to his native acton the facilities were often little better than a kitchen table or his own office where others might be inclined to shrink under a tremendous work load which extended around the clock dr kenney seemed to thrive he got a tre- mendous lify from diagnosing and treat ing the ailments of people here and in the district many with whom he was on e first name calling basis perhaps because he took each call as a summons to appear bill kenney might often have been imposed on it could be merely a case of acne posing as measles or it might be some thing serious he never failed to re spond we are glad that some recognition was accorded dr kenney while he was still among us that was in 1960 when he was named citizen of the year few could quarrel with the choice of the men responsible for the selection aclon and district was fortunate that dr kenney chose to make his home here we may never see his like again ccttiej jen t make the absurd thing about the modern hippie is not the careless way he dresses but the thought that this sets him free from the world and its trou bles many people dressed neatly in a conventional way are more altruistic freer from pressures of materialism than some samples of the flower children who resemble nothing more aplty des cribed than unmade beds they have made such a fetish of dressing abnormally their dishevelled appearance is now regarded as some wierd sort of uniform a thought which would strike them as being immoral if these modern troubadours only realized their long hair baggy clothes and fantastic getups have become a badge for uncleanness carelessness ig norance and stubborness they might try and change their image actually the movement was started as a protest against the excessive materialism lack of love and bureaucracy of modern so ciety somewhere along the line the real hippies started attracting less idealistic followers who joined in enthusiastically on the no wash no shave aspects but failed in the idealism because they have a message for the modern serf it is too bad it is being badly handled wo could do with a few influencial critics of modern civilization ptctcj frw the ftaat must raoial car on the toronto su burban railway to arrive in acton april 12 ii7 is

taste of utter domestic freedom and pece during the reoent holidays daughter kim went off to spend a few days with mr mum in the city and there i was all alone in the big house for the first time in years nobody to bug me not a soul to tell me it was time to get up or go to bed nobody to tell me to stop doing this or start doing that no body to natter away while i was trying to read the paper it was a wild delirious feeling only a man who is beleaguered by women most of his waking hours can appreciate how i felt i just decided to lot er rip go the whole hog and let the chips fall whore they might first morning i slept right through until 830 i oven lay there grinning defiantly and said right out loud i wont get up until i feel uko it and there was no ar gument seven minutes later instead of tho usual juice toast and coffee i ripped tho cap off a bottle of beer and drank it right there in the livingroom not tho kitchen with my bare bet up on the best chair it gave mo a glorious sense of sheer freedom and a headacho but i dldnt care i road tho morning paper for 20 minutes straight without being interrupted unheard of luxury for the rest of ihe day i not only throw convention to the wind but flouted overy domestic rule that has been pounded into me in 20 yoars i read a novel instead of marking exam papers i deliberately let my whlskors row right through until noon i malicious ly dirtied every ashtray in the house i refused to take out the garbage i got crumbs all over the kitchen floor and just left them there crunching happily around in them i dldnt even go down to the base ment and do the washing l read had magazine i threw a stack of nam papers on the floor and kicked them all over the room i ripped up a couple of bills that came in the mall and i ate whatever and whenever i darned well pleased peanutbutter and jam sand wich and frozen oyster soup for lunch with a wine sauce that i never got around to cooking dldnt eat until some crazy hour about 1230 at dbaertime i did the same just sneered at the big roast of beef cooked for me before the glru uh had exactly what i wanted pork and beans and exactly when i felt like it about 6 pm i just let the old dishes pile up anywhere wont even put them in the sink intact i sneered at them a couple of times as i walked through the kitchen looking for somebody to talk to that night i carried right on with my orgy of freedom had a brandy and a cigar somebody gave me six months ago whon his wife had a baby searched out relent lessly and watched threo westorns on tv including the latelato did i go to bod then not on your life went down and without so much as a by- yourteave made myself a hig fat roast beef and horseradish sandwich washed it down with four cups of my special coffee the real thing that you can stand a spoon in and whon i went to bed it was exactly when i felt uko it with no nagging it was about 130 as i recall and it was about 430 when that snack wore off and i wont to sleep noxt day wasnt so wild or hilarious quito oh tho froedom was still there but so wore the dishes and crumbs and ashtrays and exam papers and nobody elso i must admit a small surge of pure rago wont through me bocause nobody had doanod tho placo up i dldnt just give up though i wont right on dirtying dishes and paddling around in my pyjamas and smoking like dlosel truck on the third morning tho cleaning lady arrived she was a little taken back when i embraced her hoartily and sho was ovon more surprised when i followed her about all morning babbling away about nothing theres nothing uko freedom wlvos
