3 the acton free preli wednesday july 3 1968 mary jane new swede for a week at united nations seminar in waterloo new hunter examination ij fresh traeks by barbara mclhrosh the disadvantage of being overage being overage is not what it was cracked up to bo when you were underage once you are 21 you might as well bo 30 that is if you are back borne for the summer after being away at school or work and are out of touch with the local summor action scone the old gang has disintegrated host are away working and those who stayed behind are married engaged or going steady thore is suddenly nothing to do when there is no one to do it with tho town seems smaller and dead a new gang of swingers that you once shunned because thoy woro two grades behind have moved into the action sot to them you are an alien a nofqultewlthlt somehow when you are not with the lncrowd you lose some of that courage to face the unknown that spirit of adventure that love of mystery that passion to take a chance tho thought of turning up at a dance stag strikes terror in the soul fear of being labelled an overage wallflower is too much for the ogo besides the dance crowd seems younger and probably are for you theres no thrill in slipping rum into a eoko because the risk of being caught and charged is gone theres no feeling of importance standing on the street corner puffing a cigarette because the embarrassment of letting the world know how desper ate you are for something to do is again too much for tho ego when you uved there fulltime it was great to drive around town in the family ear whistling at girls and beeping the born at little old ladles now as you creep up and down in your car you are bored to tears it you are lucky enough to find a steady date your problems are over an overage couple can morgo into the action scene if they dress young and are willing to put in a few extra hours practicing the latest local dance steps but if you are unattached or semiattached by mall summor at home can be a dull lonely experience one consolation is the fact that the situation seems to bo tho same all over whether you uvo in the city or a small town perhaps a campaign directed to attract the attention and concern of the younger lncrowd would help how about something along the lines of the glveasquaremealtoastraycat typo we could call it stooptosijeaktoayoungeroldorwoqk and put up posters that read old frlonds can be fun friends too it might work if it doesnt remembor periods of solitude can bring peace to tho soul eventually mary jane new turned swedish for a few days last
