You have to be reallyyoung to believe that the world revolves around you. One young man who had just been through the CNE pavilion on drugs said, when asked for his opinion of it, "Finally the CNE has become relevant. It used to be all history about Indians and stuff. Now they're really dealing with what matters - today's youth." This attitude, held by many of the younger generation, is responsible for a lot of the world's problems today. Young people are important, of course - but no more so than the old or the middleaged. The attitude that if you are young, you are right, and everyone else is wrong, is fostered by the overwhelming attention and emphasis placed on any pronunciamento made by any young rebel on any subject. He may be speaking absolute tripe, but because he often speaks with incredible arrogance, we listen with our mouths open. The young have no monopoly of the sacred 'truth, whatever that may be, and they're like 'any other age group (only a lot noisier and more troublesome) - some are great kids, some are nitwits and some will be won- derful people when they grow up. The most self- defeating and ridiculous assertion that the young rebels have made is that "over 25 - out; underr25 - in." After all, time matches on. I'm ftir some of the women's liberation movement goals, the same way I'm for motherhood, clean milk and boneless kippers, but I think their methods are stupid. After all the publicity and the speeches on US. Liberation Day, just what did they accomplish? Women were supposed not to go to work, not to do housework, not to make coffee for the boss or make love to husbands (how about lovers - are they included?) and a lot of them went along with it and marched in the parade and waved ban- ners, but what has changed? Nothing, except possibly the marriages of some of the par- ticipants. After all, to refuse to love your husband for one day doesn't forward the movement, doesn't punish men everywhere, but only really hurts the main that you presumably love. (If militant mhnen's rights leaders can love a man.) It might be different if they had been able to persuade all the American professional prostitutes to declare war on their customers. And do you feel liberated if you don't wear a bra, Mabel? Or do you merely feel floppy? If women like to go without a bra, pink panties, girdles, etc., that's up to them, but even the young women I've seen without bras have looked an unappetising mess. Once over 20, most of us look and feel better with some support and I for one would continue to wear a bra even if - in some terrible nightmare - all the men in the world disappeared temporarily because I feel more comfortable this way and not because I'm a sex object, I suppose the women's lib groups would say I've been "breast-washer' Anyway, I like men in the same way as I like women - as individuals. .

He is also anxious about whether he will be able to do the work required of him. Little Sarah Denise Finlay, not unlike other one year olds, likes to play with Mother's jewelry. Sarah, however, also has the distinction of winning first place in the nine to 12 months group of the CNE baby contest this year. She also took second in the over-all competition. Her parents are Dorothy Ann and Paul Finlay, 44 Veronica Drive, Port Credit. She is a sister to Patti-Ann and Tracey. The Finlays lived for six years in Etobicoke before moving to Mississauga four weeks ago. llIlllllllllllllllllllllll|lllllllllllllllllllllll|IHIIIllllll||lllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllll|||llIllIll|IlllII|lllllllllflflllllllllflllllllfi AUGUST 29th At Chudleigh's - The-Pick-Your-Own Apple Farm BEGINNING Help school children to help themselves SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DAWN . ft) DARK t TOMA It"?])]?)??)]?
