WE GET LETTERS
I When you write a column
like this, you get some reac-
tion. If you didn't it wouldn't
be worth writing, because it
wouldn't be worth reading. I
A recent column has pro -1
clued reaction. It dealt with
the load we heap on teenage
kids generally, and contained a'
list of what my 16 -year-old,
specifically, had to • do in the'
next few weeks,
Two letters arrived smartly,
then a third. The first was l•
from KD.. of Owen Sound, i
"Your colunm is not up to
your usual standard. Not quite
so frank. It might have been
if you had turned the x-ray on
yourself as well as on the crit-
ics of the young people of to-
day—whoever they may be"
Critics? K.D., meet L. E.
Taylor, of Toronto. Admitting
that he has met a few decent
teenagers while on summer
vacations in a small town, he

adds: "But not so itt this big
city , . . A great many of the
teenagers here are the push-
ing, impolite, immoral bores to
be shunned and avoided wher-
ever possible"
KD. says: "Any sane person
would know your daughter is
trying to do too much. Result
of having two over -ambitious
parent . . . Each of you want-
ing to realize in each of your
children your own ambitions.
Selfish, I'd say."
Now wait •a minute, there,
KJ). You can say what you
like about my wife. But by
gorry, you're all wrong about
me. All I want is for my daugh-
ter is stop driving her mother
nuts, pass her school year if
possible, get married (.prefera-
bly.•by elopment; I'll spring for
a 50 -foot ladder in lieu of a
$1,000 wedding), have about
five kids, and get as much fun
out of them as we have out
of ours. •
Back to Mr. Taylor. He
doesn't blame the parents, but
the kids. They have it too soft.
Says they have more advan-
tages than we had but lack in-
itiative and drive. And he lists
about 30 things he was doing
while in high school. Come on,
LE, be sensible. Sure, you did
them. But how many others of
your age did. There was darn
little initiative and drive dur-
ing the Depression.
He goes on: "Matric had to
be studied, and written off in
111/1
sweltering hot June days, with
air conditioning nowhere." It
still does, old boy, in most
places, and furthermore, it's
about three times more difficult
than the mat.rie you and I
passed. And the universities
demand standards far higher,
foI" admission,
Back to K.D. "Bet your
mother would have had more
sense." (She didn't have time.
Ed. Note.) "Whose fault is it
that your daughters and others
want to do so much in and out
of school? Yours and others
like you. What kind of train-
ing, advice, guidance have you
given her apart from 'strive,
strive, strive' and 'anchieve,
achieve, achieve'?"
K.D., you are hereby invited
to give my daughter some of
that stuff. But don't blame me
if you emerge from the confer-
ence bloody and bruised.
There's more of the same
from K.D., and a lot of it good
sense. It ends: "Baloney to
your sex, LSD and drinks —
mere red herrings to drag in
and show how up-to-date you
really are! Not stuffy at all!
Ho! Ho!"
Well, ho -ho to you, K.D.
You've been reading too many
articles about punk parents,
and not enough about punk
kids. If you think drink and
drugs and sex are red herrings,
in relation to teenagers, you'd
better pull your head out of
that sand pile.
There you are. One corre-
spondent says it's the parents'
fault. The other says it's the
kids'. They're both wrong. And
both right.
And then cane the third let-
ter, balm to tortured nerves. It
was from an old friend, Edith
Rudell, of London, Ont. She is
not exactly an amateur com-
mentator. Six boys and a girl
I quote: "I will frame it (the
column) and amen! The fan-
tastic amount of time and en-
ergy and nervous tension ex-
pended by my group is not pos-
sible to describe" Furious?
Anyway, it exhausts me just
being an onlooker, So bless
you, Bill, for putting the
thoughts into words."
Ancl bless you, dear heart.
Ancl bless K.D. and L.E.
