Dear Sir I beg to differ with Mrs. Cook's letter re spoiled children in this area. I, ioo, have had a few years to observe and get to know the young 'people and no more, Considerate, courteous, under- standing, kind and hard -working types have I met anywhere. These young people have far more perception and 'unphoniness than ever did the older generation, not just for themselves 'but encom- passing all ages, young, middle- aged and elderly that one finds more widespread in the country than in the close confines of the city. If one likes to be alone and quiet, they respect it. If one likes to be talkative and involved, they are more, than willing to exchange conversation and coinpanionship. If help is sometimes needed with chores, they are there, engaging, friend- ly and knowledgeable. I sincerely sympathize with Mrs. Cook if she has run into unfortun- ate spoiled examples with the re- sultant heartbreak for parents and family. In today's shattered society, Many do not have both parents because of separation, divorce or what have you. They, of necessity, are using their own common sense and sense of dec- ency that they were born with. Many see through their patents' mistakes and refuse to live by theth. Parents and other 'rnembers.of the older generation who drink to excess,' smoke to•excess, lie and cheat to excess haVe led to the drug culture. Fortunately our youth are beginning to come right out and say, "Taking drugs is dumb! Living in excess of any-. thing is dumb!• It is easier and simpler to be honest I" These young people are begin- ning to attend church, searching, wondering and may God forgive the regulars if they do not dem- . onsuate in themSelVes the joy and, love, peace and ultimate kick of being in thelouse of the Lord. MrS. Cook writes that she has seen parents dowling out rolls of . money to their children. I have only seen young people earn, pay their way, share, and pract- ically work for their own living, depending on their age level and parents' circumstances. Contrary to Mrs. Cook's statement 'that "the youth of today have a warped crooked mind which is evil to it's. end" , I claim they have, clear honeSt minds which are good in their intent. Granted there are exceptions and spoiled apples (you know • what one spoiled apple will do to a bushel, full) in any generation, the majority are heading fora brave new world of compassion, perceptiOn, love and freedom. In closing, I express my deep- est sympathy to 'Mrs. Cook's girl- friend whose son is in penitentary, and pray that he will yet have a life under God's care. I don't think you could find one hypocrite, or at least they Donations To Assist Reunion Are Appreciated Donations have been arriving from some' former residents. and local residents, to assist in finan.- cing the Lucknow Reunion. While no, appeal 'has been made for funds to assist , the, committee is very appreciative of this unsol- icited support. The cost of stag- ing such an event is high and the financial assistance is most wel- come. Garage Burns Don Doupe's,-6arage at Millar- ton, east of Kincardine, burned in the early hours of Sunday morn- ing. The garage and contents 'were a complete loss. The house and machinery located outside the building were, saved. Kincardine Fire Department responded and Ripley Fire Depart- ment was called in later as a standby unit. stand out like sore thumbs, amongst the teenagers of today'. But' our generation (between 30. and 70) is full of hypocrites and the sooner we start playing it' straight, the sooner the world will right itself. Yours truly, Mrs. Ruth Wilson.

Council agreed with. Mr. Mc- Naughton that bikes always have been, and always will be a prob- lem in this regard, but felt the ' bylaw was a difficult one to en- force.' Reeve Joynt told Mr. Mc- Naughton that he would be in touch with him later to further dis- cUss the matter. • • • • • Members of the LuCknow Horti- , cultural Society, Mrs..
