Young fouimouthed -people product.o n discipline age, previous lettqqer is nonsense says letter to the editor Dear Sir: This is a reply- to Mr. Glen Julians' letter in your July 27 edition. (Its a littie late but I was away on holidays.) Mr. Julian states that the mental hospitals should be called drug hospitals as the young people are just put on more dnigs. First rnay I say, if some of these people (both young and older) were not put on some drug they would tear the place down. These are flot young people who were on drugs. If Mr. Julian has as he states 30 years of study and knowledge he should see that a great many of these young people, but not ail of them. Are the product of the no disci- pline age. If he would cômrpare ages with this period he would find it was the time discipline went out of the sehools and a great many homes. Most of these young people are fouI mouthed and have no respect for anyone or anythi-_g. There are stili somne fine young people who neeci help through no fault of their own. One can .us- ually pick them out by conduct and tanguage. (or lack of foui lang- uage.) Mr. Julian states that the Quakers did away with the insane anylum dungeons a century ago. May I sincerely say "Thank God for that." That unfortunately did not do away with mental illness Mr. Julian must agree 1 arn sure, that about that time they also done away with drawing and quartering. And also swinging some from the yard arm of ships but unfortunately it dîd not They certainly are not there fromi drug abuse, and some of these are read missions. Sonie of these people are only ýthere for a short period and go back home to lead productive and useful lives. Somne of these people are fine folk who just broke under pressure and needed a littie help to get back on an even keel. But a great rnany of these young people (and some older) that Mr. Julian spoke of refuse to do any work of any kind but wish to sleep titi al hours,ý drink coffee al day, receive free cigaret- tes, meals, clothi'ng etc, ail free and are quite wil- ling to live off of the establishment whioh they so despise. I feel, as a taxpayer, they should be made to earn somne of this if at ail pos- sibble. There are always some who just aren't able to,ý but if possible they should do some work. 1 think too that if parents are able to supply clothing and spending money (soinetimes both parents work) they should contribute to this, after ail O.H.I.P. pays for the hospitaliza- tion.1 Sincere ly, W. Winiacott Reader writes two poems as tribute to Elvis Dear Sir, Enclosed are a -couple of poems. My personel tribute to ELVIS PRESLEY.
