Rock festival complaints continue After three years of saving while attending school and working part time and during summer months, Mayilyn Slater, Cayuga Avenue, was able to make Drugs? Okay, to most of us this is shocking. I cannot condone the illicit use of drugs in any form. But - perhaps instead of being outraged at what is going on with drugs - we should spend some time finding out what the drug scene is all about. Perhaps a little un- derstanding of drugs and why teenagers take them would help us to learn the proper way of handling this problem with our own children. Now, don't say to yourself - this couldn't happen in our house. It very easily could. If you think drugs were running freely at the stadium during the festivals, take a good look at the junior high schools. As for drinking. Have none of the older gereration in the area attended a Grey Cup game,parade or festivities? You would see much more carrying on and open drinking there than could be possible with teenagers confined to the stadium area. Times have changed - isn't it about time we changed our attitudes about teenagers. Instead of staring at them with their long hair and way-out clothes, why don't you take time out to talk to them. You will find that most are really very nice people and extremely intelligent. Complaints continue on the noise of the festivals. These festivals, with the exception of the first one, were over by 8 p.m. We have listened to much louder noise coming from marching brass bands and soccer games over at the stadium, until 11 or 12 pm The police department were swamped with telephone calls from residents complaining about the cars being parked all .along the streets. They wanted the cars tagged. Now, everyone knew in advance what days the festivals would be held. They all knew the cars would only be there for a few hours. Why didn't they call to com- pliment the teenagers on quietly conducting them- selves after their cars were parked and when they returned after the festival was over. But they didn't riot did they? No, as a matter of fact very little has been said about how remarkable well they handled themselves. No one has mentioned the fact that these teenagers calmly walked through our streets. over to the stadium, stopping in stores to make some purchases. Although store owners have told me how well behaved they were, not one has bothered to write and comment on this. Ice-ham 14,000 teenagers at an festival alone. I wonder if anyone has attqqted complaining long enough to realize the tumqethattmuldhave been all. What if the 14,000 hangers had chosen to riot? Can you comprehend that damage they could have inflicted?
