Not that I'm an expert on teenage affairs, Heaven knows that my own teenagers suffer just as much as any of you from the attention — or inattention — of a mother and father who are 'stumbling blindly through the trials of raising kids in this crazy mixed-up world. Pm very fond of teenagers. I think they are a great bunch of people. I admire them particularly, I think, because so many of them have the adventurous spirit to step out into the unknown and try something new. New, you fuddy-duddy adults cry. What's new about long hair and dirty clothes and pre-marital sex and speed, be it by car or by a shot in the arm? Well, maybe it isn't new to those of us who have been around for a few years, but to the kids these things are new and different. But it wasn't really those things to which I was referring. I. was meaning the kids' drive to distinguish themselves from the rest of the world by talking differently and dressing differently and dancing Varna news BY FRED McCLYMONT The March meeting of the United Church Women was held last Thursday evening, Group three were in charge of devotions with Mrs, Ron Taylor leading.

Shearer of Bright called on Mr. and Mrs. Fred Middleton and on Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Middleton Thursday of last week. adults throw. up their hands in. despair And, shout, 41 don't know what more I can 0;1' Some people think we're doing tee much for the kids, One man told .that teenagers expect everything gift wrapped fox them and then they are just too apathetic to even remove the wrappings, FrOln dealing with my own. teenagers, I know that kids want to be like everyone else of their own generation, but MON than that they want to. have some purpose in life, I wonder if adults aren't -unintentionally taking all the purpose put .of life by making the kids the centre of attraction in the home, in the school system, in the community, in the church. I wonder if our organization for the kids isn't. all the wrong kind, too adult-orientated to be pleasant for the kids. If this is the problem, I wonder .why:the teenagers don't take the initiative and create their own diversions. Rather than running away through the use of drugs or booze or some hippie culture, why don't kids put their heads together and really contribute something to life as we'have it on this planet. We all know teenagers who do just that, but why aren't there more? If I was a modern teenager and somebody accused me of being lazy I'd be up and working to erase that false impression. Don't tell me I'm so far off the groovy scene that my reaction would be termed old-fashioned by today's teen standards, Middleton differently and singing -differently, I respect them for this, But somehow l would. hOpe that by the time a fellow or a .girl is 23 or 1.4, he or she would have learned to tell the difference between "doing your 'thing" and becoming just plain gutless and unproductive. I've spent a few hours in the last couple of days trying to figure out why teenagers slouch around, shoulders drooping, heads hanging, 'Woking like agony persoeified. It frightens me that today's teenagers appear so horribly sad and I'm not. soothed when a 14-year old boy tells me as .one did recently, "I've experienced life, The only thing I haven't experienced is • death." What kind of an attitude is that, for goodness sake? So I talked to a few people who work with young people and the same chance remark was forthcoming from each paid or volunteer worker: The kids of today are lazy. I don't believe it. I simply don't believe that the teenagers of 1970 are one bit lazier than the kids who grew up with me. They may be tired, like the rest of us, of the rat-race into which they have been born. They may be worried, like the rest of us, by conditions of society. They may he looking, like the rest of us, for some way to escape all the troubles and pain in the world today. But lazy? I can't believe it. If it isn't laziness what is it?
