PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY,-FEBRUARY 27,,1974, WHITBY FREE PRESS Guest Editorial Vulgaitylon t.he Spruc In foilowing up my last week's editorial, BARRED, I would like to take you to a sceite at the Spruce Villa last week at around 6 p.m. Tuesday night. Mr. Burgess (editor), Mrs. Burgess, anid myseif sat ini Kelly's Keg for a nice quiet drink after a liard day's work. Three young fellows sat two tables away from us and had apparently been there since noon (or so they said). They seemed to have an extrernely limited vocabulary, as every sentence that came out of these babes rnouths was vile, crude, and unneccessary. Mr. Burgess asked very politely if, seeing there were ladies present, they would tone down their vulgarity. In reply, one fuzzyhiaired freak piped out "'Ladies! I think I had onie in bed the other night!"-) Follow laughter and more vulgarity, these children, in their unimpressive display led me to fedJ that they hiave really missed out somnewhere along the line. These kids should have been in school, flot in a bar, because they were certainly flot mature enough to handie liquor. But the unfortunate part is that they must ruin things for the other people - customers and management. We were planning to stay for a few hours but instead we by Vi Mitchell drank, Up and left to take our business elsewhere. l'Il neyer return and I'm sure that most people would feel the same way. Why does management tolerate these slobs? Very good sources relate that most of the» kids are stoned when they enter, hover over one drink for two hours and don't tip the waitresses - just harass themn. In my' opinion the worse move that theý Provincial Government has done in a long time is lowering the drinking age. I can't generalize and say A kids are the same, but these creeps sure give the others. a mark against themn for being young. r-;.or So Much for Yankee Kuiow-How It wasn't too many years ago that Americans were famnous for inventing or improving just about everything. Yankee know-how invented -some of the most devastat- ing war machines known to man and Yankee know-how put a man on the moon, and he just happened to be an American. We Canadians haven't done too bad either, but we have always lived in sheltered life beneath the greatness of one of the biggest countries in the world. Americanl Strategic bombers guard our borders and Yankee know-how put a hot line between the two rnost powerful nations in the world so a war would flot be set off accidentally. But Yankee know-how doesn't seemn to be doing too well at making gasoline or a decent substitute. If we are faced with a real energy crisis then the good old U.S. of A. is selling us and the rest of the free world down the river. We have always corne to think of power as greatness and a measure of intelligence but the greatness of the United States has been reduced to rationing gasoline, murdering of service station attendents and rioting because of a fuel shortage. And while the United States is quickly dwindlig away what is left of her natural resources without finding an alternate, the country called Great Britain is going bankrupt. For once let's do something better than our southern neighbours. Le t's solve our own energy problemn, our pollution problern and let's get a government in power thaï~ will act quickly instead of following the Amnerican example of talk, talk, talk - but no action. - k*.

We need some Cahadian know how and we need intelligent people to carry through the plans laid down by the individuals who have the right answers to our current financial and energy problems.
