Advertiser-Topic, one of the papers that runs my column. Gee, | wish | were a Managing Editor, and could dash off memos that would make people shake in their shoes. Once upon "atime | was a Managing Editor. It meant that | was allowed to carry the bags of newspapers up to the post office on press day. But | never got to write any terse memos. The letter reads: "Smiley: I'm getting so weary of those" columns on education and teen-agers. Talk about adults. I distrust teachers who talk about school and students. You're better as a non-expert. One more education column and I cancel. Regards, ; Chas. Whipp". Now, who could resist answering such a belle lettre? - I couldn't. "My dear Mr. Whipp: EA Thank you for your warm and courteous letter. It brightened up my whole day. But I think you have me confused with columnist Richard Needham of the Globe and Mail, who preaches rank anarchy day after day, exhorting students to drop out, see the world, forget about a formal edu- cation, live and love. - I'm as straight -and square as they come, as my daughter (whoops, 'there's a teen- ager) will assure you. I deplore the usc of drink, drugs and. demonstrations bv students. I urge them to drop in, not out, and find out what the mysteries of life are all about. Now, let's have a look. You're weary of columns on education and teen-agers. Why? Were you once bitten (or hitten) by a teacher when you were a tecn-ager? Second, education takes about half your tax dollars. And within a couple of dec: ades, adults will be outnumbered by ado- lescents. A couple of horrible thoughts, but surely worth a column occasionally. Third, my columns about thésé topics 0 KNOW YOU" The bring more mail than any others. letters are funny, poignant, sympathetic, tragic. One lady wrote "telling me I'd helped her son. Another poured out her heart over the death of her 16-year-old. 'Fourth, I think a check would reveal that these topics are far from dominating the column. I'd get sick of them if they did. "Why not let your readers decide? All your readers not just a couple of cranks. You know, I do write about sports, the family, the church, politics, the seasons and any- thing else that is part of modern life. Next, you say, "Talk about adults." I do. But adults are merely teen-agers out of their teens. I've nothing against them. "Some of my best friends are adults. But ° how would you like your sister' to marry one? osu Then you say, "I distrust teachers. who talk about school and students." I don't distrust Managing Editors who talk about 'newspapers or dentists who talk about dentures.
