Clinton News-Record, 1967-08-24, Page 22 Clinton News Rccord. Thursday, August 24, 1967 . .......... ................... ... ........................ I From our early files . . . ‘ When personally offensive re­ marks creep into official propaganda from one government about another, things have usually reached a remark­ able degree of bitterness. In recent weeks, both Moscow and Peking have been giving an increasingly savage edge to their attacks on the leadership in each other's country. And since with­ in China, the Maoists use such vitupera­ tive language about their internal foes —"fierce dogs in the water. . . wound­ ed tigers . . . poisonous snakes not yet " frozen by the cold"—it is perhaps sur­ prising that their personal hatchet at­ tacks on the Soviet leaders are gen­ erally less vicious than those coming from Moscow on Chairman Mao and . his wife, the former actress, Chiang Ching. Indeed, Chinese attacks on the men at the helm in the Soviet Union usually tend to be oblique. Peking describes them as "Khrushchevites" or as "worse than Khrushchev." Their supposedly wrong policies are attacked . -in the strongest language. Their poli- v •Xtical motives are savagely questioned... \ iBut the Chinese usually hold bacMfrom the nastiest kind of personal innuendo. Take for example one of the sharper things about the men in Moscow to be put out from Peking this month. The official newspaper, People's Daily, chose to comment on the television documentary on Mr. Khrushchev in retirement recently shown on television in the United States and elsewhere. Disregarding the fact that Soviet of­ ficialdom was, almost certainly dismay­ ed by the program, the Chinese news­ paper was quoted as saying, "The Soviet revisionist ruling clique has stooped so low as to breathe life into The Peking-Moscow that political mummy Khrushchev and make him shower praises on U.S. im­ perialism's virulently, preach American - Soviet friendship, and shamelessly defend his capitulation and treachery." Those are far from kindly words. But still they stop short of the invective now being directed from Moscow, particularly in Chinese broadcasts, against Mao Tse-tung and ChiangChing —pointedly referred to as "his fourth wife." A couple of weeks ago, Moscow gave its account of how this "not at all gifted" actress who played "minor roles" in "second-rate productions" charmed Mao into divorcing his third wife and marrying her. (Among her alleged wiles was the keeping of "a ver/ neat notebook" in a class which Mao was teaching.) The insinuation is that Chiang Ching is the woman who so often in Chinese history has managed to dominate a leader in his autumnal years. And of the Chairman himself, Moscow Radio said: "Cities, factories, schools, hospitals, public baths and hotels.are infested,with'enormous’wall '. paintings and portraits- of«Mao ■*;'*’. . Pictures and works of the so-called red sun are coarsely printed on bowls, glasses, chopsticks and other daily utensils.' Perhaps Moscow thinks that the opposition to Mao's cultural revolution has proven so stubborn that a shove from them will help push him over. But Mao is not Stalin; and we wonder whether he is not already so firmly in the Chinese pantheon that such per­ sonal attacks might not enhance rather than detract from his personal stand­ ing—regardless of the mess he has now gotten China into. chieftains, attack China 75 years ago HURON NEWS-RECORD Wednesday, August24,1892 A bowling alley has been started in town by Mr. Rob­ erts pf Owen Sound Jji the pre­ mises between Harland Brso. apd the NwiHkiepprd office.

The CCI board has secured CLEARANCE SALE OF CHAIN SAWS The latest thorn in the Establish­ ment's side is the hippie, the newest type of non-conformist, characterized by long hair, eccentric clothing, guitars and songs and extreme lethargy. Un­ fortunately, many hippies also use LSD and other drugs in order to facilitate their sought-after escape into what they call a mystic, spiritual world-one far removed from the traditional western, problem-solving, goal-oriented society. Hippies who are "in the know" say the key ethical element in their movement is love, certainly most laudable! They also preach honesty, joy and non-violence. Great! But un­ fortunately again — non-work, too. Aye, there's another rub. While free­ dom of the individual is of paramount value, responsibility must accompany it. Hippies in some large cities have become a burden on "square" citizens. Their drugs put them in hospitals; they must be cared for; society must also practise love—it must restore the health of the hippies. Because the hippies refuse to be a part of the making-and-spending, scene get-up-and-go society of today is no reason to condemn them. But when their apathy hurts others, they must be dealt with. What is most disturbing is not so much their rejection of virtually every aspect of today's society, but their fail­ ure-even refusal—to suggest any al­ ternative. Unlike . rebels of the past, hippies have no urge to reform the world. Their code seems to be a purely apathetic one — even though they preach love and brotherhood of man. If old standards are to be torn down — and perhaps some of them should be—they must be replaced by better ones. And the hippies and other members of the "New Morality" do not seem to have any alternatives at all. The hippies: a threat to society's well-being? A fad, soon to be replaced by another? A result of uhder-discip^- lined youth? Over-disciplined youth? At any rate, one of the phenomena of the 60's—and one th&t should be thought about, if nothing else.— (Stratford Beacen-Herald). o.... ........................ .......—..... ■ ■■ i , all.

LETTERS Mr. and Mrs. Public; To assist the Public Works Depart­ ment in the regulai’ weekly Thursday night street sweep­ ing, the merchants of the down town areas especially are ask­ ed to take time out and sweep up the paper and litter from the sidewalks in front of their places of business and deposit this garbage in a trash can, (we do have regulai’ garbage pickup) or to the curb and gut­ ters. This should be done by Thurs­ day afternoons and NOT Friday morning AFTER the streets have ■ been swept by the town Public Works. There are litter containers placed In the down town areas to use if the persons in ques­ tion can’t spend a small amount of money for a garbage contain­ er of their own. In the same token the general public are reminded of tire pro- vided downtown containers to deposit papers andwi’appets in. It takes very little effort to do wliat is right and I’m sure the public doesn’t make a prao tide Of littering their own pro* perty or household with this type Pf garbage. Co-operation Is all thut is asked for — not wholesale apathy and then complaining of dirty streets ahd sidewalks. The police ate also asked to investigate any vehicles that are continually parked oh the down­ town streets, especially over­ night, arid Which iiindet (he Weekly Street sweeping opera- tors.
