The Hippie Decline The hippies have suffered a visible decline in prestige, in enthusiasmn, i following. Somehow the bloom is off the Flower People. Credit October's chili winds, overdoses of publicity, reaction against drugs, or the violent- behavior of the- non-genuine brand. Anyway, the "happening" bas slowed 'down. The murder of two youngsters in New York's East Village.caused a good zniany parents to wake up and wonder where their wandering teen-agers rnight be closeted. : pr xt~p spring, another cult may cizd -and imitated, invaded, and mnisused.- The new cuIt may again be Z' vaguely devoted to friendliness, to free- '.dom of living, to the "beautiful life." Btnext year, members are likely to be a littie tougher-fibered, a little more .ready to answer back to insults and acuiphysical violence. For this year the hippies discovered that handing a -,flower to an opponent - a Vietnam -critic, neighbonhood gangster, or some- Ione in the district who had worked a 12-hour day while the cultist sat and played -r didn't always work. 7..It's ail very weil to talk of making love and flot war. Rail to a beautiful sentiment! But the hippies - even as .'With many statesmeni more learned in years - failed to have a sufficient awareness of evil, a salutary alertness ta what evil would élaim ta do. As a result, they laid theniselves open ta trouble, and exploitation and silly imi- tation, and attack. When one u.nder- takes ta drap out af saciety, one had better be pretty strong, mentally, and experienced, or ane wiil find that b. is prey ta the walves and Indians which society's wagon-circle holds at bay. H. G. Wells wrote of a future class of hippies, most grapbicaliy, in "The Tume Machine." They were the beauti- fui people - upper middle-class fia doubt - wba wore flowens in their hair and were youthful and sang and loved. But those weirdies wba managed the machines that made things and who lived underground, came out at nigbt and carried off the terrified fair maid-* ens, ta a degracing end. The "hippy revoit" bas reminded humanity ta heed the beauties of nat- ure, the vintue of kindness and the value af individuality - as against the organization man, the mass-produced culture, the explaitive saciety. But the hippies needed something besides good intentions ta pave their route ta Utopia - sucb necessary things as viable goals, workable plans far the future, help for the underprivileged - and a realiza- tion that the "Establishment" tbey condemn is a lot less "square" than tbey beiieved it ta, be. -Christian Science Monitor Letter to the Editor A Candidate for Scko'ol Board Bowmanville., Ontarica, INvember 6tb, 1967 Dear Mr. James: After reading yaur excellent edi- tonial beaded "AN ATTEMPT TO AROUSE INTEREST" and your gen- enous aller of space ta, persans wishing to contest public office, I bave, decided ?~oplace my name belon. the electonate o f Bowmanville ini the fantbcoming municipal election. However, laoking and listening &round, I find no lack of candidates for tii. per usual cantested seats of Mayor, Reeve, Deputy Reeve and Councillors., But as bard as I listen I neyer hear of candidates for aur Pub-, -lic School Board and rnymernory hails mne ta go back fan enough ta remeni- ber the. last election for Public School Board in Bowmanville. To me this is serious. I realize that when 1 pay my .taxes that at least fifty percent af the tax bihllu sfan education and yet in the l1ait seventeen years that I have bad a vote in the town of Bowmanviîle I *cannot rememben casting a vote ta give any man on wamnan the mandate ta mianage this1 important department af cur town. Furtiien ta this, 1 read regular re- ports oh the minutes of the. Municipal Coûncil in your paper, the minutes af the Public Utilities Commission and of the. Bowmanviîîe Memonial Hospital. This leaves conspicuaus by its absence the. minutes af the Public School Board. This lack af communication between the School Board and the pepewhD pay the bill must flot go ncalenged any longer. If we stop ta Sthink about it we must realize the zn~any changes in Public Scbooî Boardi personnel that has taken place aven 'e 'j, 4 '-I * v 'j * j 4.. * .1 the hast seventeen years and if no elec- tion has been held then there must exist a'systeni of "Appaintees"ý TO THE SCHOOL BOARD BY THE SCHOOL BOARD, a system that must stop. As I have stated 1 intend ta have my name on the ballot for Public Scbool Board and if 1 receive a man- date from the people af Bowmanville mny policy will be ta give aur cbildren the best educatian w. can afford with empbasis an "What We Carý Afford." It will also be my endeavor ta rnake avaîlable ta thie press the minutes of ahi regular meetings so the tax payers af this town may have a better know- ledge of haw the big hall of their tax dollar is being spent.

MacDuff Ottawa Report The Great Canadian Folk1 Dance OTTAWA-Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson, wîth his re- cent cabinet changes, heu taken anather step in the elaborate rituRl folk dance of French-English relations in Canada. The Premier has already committed his Gavernment ta work for a greater Que- bec within a greater Canada, and this remaved some, of the uncertainty and un- easiness about Quebec. Now he hec' appointed a tough businessman, Marcel Feribauit, as his Cebiniet's chief edviser on ecanomic and canstitutionai affeirs. This step is beîng almost universaily interpreted as a further attempt ta réassure English-Canada about the basic Stability of Quebec and of Mr. Johnson's National Union Government. At the same time Mr. Johnson eppears ta h-ave suppressed some of the Mg extremist ministers in hýs Cabinet, at least for the>tinie being. There is strong evi- dence also that his Cabinet changes were made after et JD StantPdst Firom the Statesman Files with Prime Minister Pear. son. It is still rether difficult ta determine whether this ritual dance is a dance of wer or a dance of love. But it is encouraging ta note that practically ail the ges- tures made recently by the Quebec and Federel Gov- ernments have been concilie- tory, rather then hostile. Mr. Feribault, for his part, says he hopes ta work for an economny "thet is Can- adien and North Americen". Re promises fewer slogans end ultimatums from Que- bec. At the same tirne, he notes with satisfaction that more and more Federel politicieng tend ta recognize the need for profound changes in the Constitution".

Provincial governmen too, besides Quebec, ha, been in on the dance, mo, ing slowly but steadily t, werds increased educatic rights for French-speakir minorities. In other words the way now open for brass tac] talks emang the provinc( and between, the provincE and the Federal Gavérnmer on the direction of Cenadia federalism. An important'- ehement i these talks wîli be th~ nature of Quebec's raie ii Confederetion and oni wider scale the possibilit: or desirability of givini some substance ta thq French fac t throughou Canada. In Toranto at the end o this month provincial prer iers will meet in an import. ant prelude ta what wili un. daubtedîy be a pralonget constitutional debate. Premier Robarts' Confed- eration for Tomorrow con. ference is not a federal provincial meeting. The Federel Government will not be represented there, but it is sending high level observers. Even sa, the Federal Gov- ernment is eware that the provincial conference wvill be crucial to Federai initiatives on the constitutian in the next few manths. The Federel observers at the Toronta canference - Carl Galdenberg, Jean Beetz, Al Johnson and Marc La- londe - are aIl deeply in- 'olved with canstitutional studies in the Prime Min- ster's office or the Justice )epertment. A special task farce under Mr. Goldenberg has been working for months an a lderal constitutionai pas- ian ta be presented ta the 3rovinces in cancrete terms iext year. The Federel Government widently intends ta propose inew initiative to create a itionel capital commission nOttawa, and stronger ef- 'rts ta pramote a bilinguel ibIic service. Specificaliy, there will be draft Bill of Rights which e Federal Government iill ask ail provinces ta Iopt. This Bill of Rights ruld guarantee civil liber- es and individuel rights, nd hopefully would en- ,nch the lenguage and ucation rights aill cross anada of French and Eng- sh-speeking Canadiens. Civil liberties, educetion, iguage'rights, are mainly -as of provincial su- rmacy. The Federel Gov- mment's ambitiaus plans In ese areas depend almost iirely on what the prov- ces are prepered ta do. A~t the moment we don't ally know what the prov- es individuelly or col- tively are prepared ta do. lwe've had are impatient nands f r orm Quebec, and but general proposaIs )mi Ottawa, some cautiouu mments from premiers. rhe Robants' Cenference pefully will bring the st breath of realism Into tt until now has been a netimes engaging a n d netirnes Cxaperating ce of ths deux nationa. Sugar SOME 0F US REMEMBER What will the Flower Children dc on Remembrance Day? Will they re. fuse to buy a poppy because they assc- ciate it with past wars? Or will they buy every poppy tbey can get their hands on and try to infuse a brew of opium, so that they can turn on? Ahl I know is that they'1l havea tough time getting any poppy-juîce out of those paper poppies the Legion selis. My daugbter and 1 have a running battie about the Flower Children and hippies in generai. She has a slogan. "Love is ail you need," which 1 find scrawled on things ail over the house. My contention is that these kids don't love anybody but themselves, thal tbey heartily bate anyone who doesn'l subscribe to their balf-baked phiiosa. phy, if you want to grace it with such a term, and that most of them don't know enough about life ta wipe their own nases. This goes over big, of course. 1 arn immediately relegated to that rap- idly-increasing segment of the popula- tion that doesn't understand anything, is against everytbing and can't corn- municate. Even tbough she does admit they are pretty snobbish about their "love" deal. I asked ber why she didn't bave a whack at the Legion contest. It's open to ail students, and they can Write an essay or a poern, about the meaning of Remembrance Day. Good cash priz- es, anid she writes well. ."But it doesn't bave any rneaning for me, Dad.

I apologized for the fact that bath ber war-time uncles are alive, and that I couldn't get mysélf killed, even witb the utrnost applica- tion af incompetence, just so that she could really enjoy Remembrance Day.

Tyrone P.O., Ontario. Nov. 5th, 1967. Dear Mr. Jamnes: After beaning a note'cfwang frorn the Finance Minister about-iii- flation and baving ta stop needless spending in the government, one won- ders if there is naw sanie hope of Tyrone school stayîng open. For what would be more needless than closing a good solid school and then have ta turn around and bus tbe pupils thither and yon. As it is Tyran. looks like a bus terminal in the mornings ~daf ter- noons. I hear some parents bave to keep a Iist ta check wbich cbild is at wbat school. Our school might need repains, which is not surpnising as nothing bas been done ta it since local autonomy was taken away frorn us alang with ail the money over five yeans ago. It bas just been a one way street, al giving and no receiving. Now ta add irisuit upon injury they're even dernand- ing aur schooi. 1All aur aId traditions are gradually being usurped. First the Xmas concert that the chihdren used ta put on in~ the hall, which bas been going on since my husband went ta scbool. Parents would go and watch their children, Yours sincenehy, sitting there feeling srnug and think M. A. Gibbs. r Plan to Con test Election i and Spicel By Bill Smiley face the fact that Remembrance Day does flot mean much to the average kid today. It's flot nearly as important as the latest "saul" record. And it's amff-d bore, a soiemn moment at'school, that Y has fia connection with the Saturday Ir night date, or the really important eftbîngs of life. It's just one of those silly things athat middle-aged people get "ail hung It Up" about, like bard work and honesty Land chastity and aIl those other drags. 9 And it's nat just the kids who dignare it. Most young aduits sn 'eer at ï. it as a reic of "Britannia Rules the d Waves" and "Over the Top" and beery *old veterans. S It's mucb more fashionable 'ta jain ta "protest group" and march on sanie- tthing or other. City Hall. The Amnen- -can Consulate. It doesn't matter. Break i some windows. Spiash some paint. And tgo borne sniggering that, "We really *showed those fascists." There's a vicariaus thrill in the thought that the police migbt whack a few beads, even draw blood. Nat yours, of course. I wonder bow many of those pro- testers would have the guts ta clamber out of a muddy, stinking trench and buri theniselves into barbed wire, and machine-guns looking for their vitals? I wonder bow many of the people who carry placards, with their little fat jowls bouncing on their white collfrs, could -fly thraugb a thousand acr)f red-bot flak, because samebody hddltO do it? I wonder liow- màny of the. peti- tion-signers, with their. dean socks ard their under-arm deodorant, could. take a week of puking and getting smasjaed about in a corvette. Maybe I sound a littie bitter.. MaRy- be 1 arn. Maybe they' could and wvIould, same of theni. But until they try 'it, tbey sbouldn't spit an others.:ý War is rotten. Warî is stupid. But ta those wba died, "Salud". -Arid ta fhose who live witb ratten lungs and artbritis- and ail the« rest, of it, know that there are stili some of us ,h0 think about you on Remembrance Day. how smart the kids were especialIy' their awn. Of course an Xmas tre., Santa Claus and presents fan ail were part of the evening but that is fio mare. -i must be quick to point out that evërybody deplores this situation. The couitcil wbo w. first went ta, for help could understand aur situation. - how tbey ever approved the plan by a mai- onity I dan't know. Then -the. School Board who said these plans wer. mare or Iess dictated by the Provincial Gav- ernrnent. Then aur Provincial repre- sentatîve wbo wante d to help us sa, *Much but somebow neyer- did. Even a petition of 670 namês - this from 91lya part af the township, was put on a- sheif ta gather dust and coni- pîetehy ignored. SSa bow does one get the will of the people across ta the so called serv- ants of the people. Or is it a myth and if the truth were known we are the servants and they are thie masters. I feel very sarny for the pWe wbo have bad their scbools closea'r1f mny six year aid bad ta go on a bus every mornnng and be dniven froni one end of the township ta the othen, I'd scream sa loud you'd bear me an- Par- liament Hill. But another wnong do.m nat make a rigbt and the closing of Tyrone schooi is what we are obj.cting. ta but wbo is thene ta listen? To the Citizens of Bowmanvllle : I would like to let you know that after very serjous consîderation and much per- suasion from friends and citiz- ens of Town of Bowmanville I have agreed to let my name stand for a seat on Council for the Town of Bowmanville in the forthcoming electfon Dec. 4, '67, for the years 1968-1969.
