The Goderich Signal-Star, 1967-11-09, Page 15SUGAR. AND SPICE by Bill Smiley Some.0to$ What will the.; Flower Child- ren do on Remembrance Day? Will they refuse to buy a pop- py because they associate it With past wars? Or will they buy every poppy they ean get theis hands on and try to „in- fuse vbrew of opium, so that they can turn on?' u Ali 1 knol`k is that they'll. have a tough time, getting any poppy -juice out of those paper poppies the Legion sells. My daughter and I have, a running battle about the Flow- er Children and hippies in gen- eral. She has a slogan. "Love is all you need," which I find scrawled on things all over the house. My contention is that these kids don't love anybody but themselves, that they :heartily hate anyone/ who doesn't sub- scribe to their half-baked phi- losophy, if yew want to grace it with such a term, and that most of them don't know d enough about life 'to wipe their own noses. This goes over big, of course. I am immediately relegated to that.. rapidly -increasing seg- ment of the population that doesn't understand anything, is against everything and can't communicate. Even though she does admit they are pretty snobbish about _their "love" deal. I asked her why she didn't have a whack at. the Legion contest. It's open to all stu- dents, and they can write an 'essay or a poem, about the meaning of Remembrance Day. Good cash prizes, and she writes well. "But it doesn't have any meaning for me, Dad. I didn't have an uncle or anything killed in the war." Well, what do you do? I apologized for the fact that both her war -time un- cles are alive, and that I couldn't get myself killed, even with the utmost application of incompetence, just so that she could really enjoy Remem- brance Day. Eighteen seconds later, she's beefing because I haven't giv- en her a driving lesson in a whole ,week, ,and she's just got to get her license before the snow flies. I'm afraid we're . going to have to face the fact that Re-. membrance Day does not mean remember rnu'cI te the average id today. A's not nearly as iniportant as the latest "sour record. And it's a mild, bore, a solemn, me- ment at school, that has no connection with the Saturday night date, or the really impor- tant things of life, It's just one of those silly things that middle-aged people get "all, hung up" about, like hard work and honesty and chastity and all those other drags. And it's not just the kids who ignore it. Most young adults sneer at it as a relic of "Britannia Rules the. Waves''` and "Over the Top" and beery old veterans. It's 'much more fashionable to join. a "protest groop" and march on something or other,. City Hall.. The America!) Con- sulate. It doesn't matter. Break some windows. Splash some paint. And go homesniggering .that, "We really -showed those fascists." There's a vicarious thrill in the thought that the police might, whack a few heads, even draw blood. Not yours, of course. I wonder how many of those protesters would have the guts to clamber out of a muddy, stinking trench and hurl them- selVes into barbed wire, and machine-guns looking for their vitals? I wonder how many of the people who carry placards, with their little fat jowls bouncing on their white col- lars, could fly through a thou- sand acres of red-hot flak, be- cause somebody had to do it? - I wonder how . many of the petition -signers, with their clean -socks alid their under- arm deodorant; could take a week of puking and getting .smashed about in a corvette. . Maybe I sound a little bitter. Maybe I am. Maybe they could and would, some of them. But until they try it, they shouldn't spit on others. War is rotfen. War isstupid. But to those who died, "Salud". And to those who live with rotten lungs and ar- thritis and all the rest of it, know that there are still some of us who think about you, on Remembrance Day. AT LUCKHOW HALL Ashfield Farm Union On Octbber 26,1961, X400111* Prersented a letter ,to Goderich Tewn council statingthat we felt YerY Strongly that the felt* coming report on the policing t.„ of GOderieh be made pablie b(u, cause we felt ail Citizens shareil the responsibility for policing the town and the methods used We went on to say that hearsay mid rumour were very poor things to make up our minds On and that we, as citizens wanted to know the facts about our business. This subject, of course is a very touchy one as personw alities have become involved. However, the Labour Council is not involved with the personal. ities. We have had good rela- tions with the present town cotn. cil and we hope this Contin- ue. We assume all members of Council have the best interests of Goderieh at heart. 'We would like to assure Town Council that we are not for or against • any individual. Our (ally desire in this 'Case is to be assured that we are getting theunost we can for our tax -dollars. Are the police pro. perly paid? Do we have too many policemen or not enough? One. man is quoted as sayingpo. lice costs should be about$4;(10, per capita, the mayor is quoted _as 'Saying cosa-in 'Goderich are $9.40 per capita and aver. age in Ontario is $14.00. There's so much difference in the fig. ures quoted that we feel we should be enlightened. Whatare the facts? Our interest in Council we feel is a legitimate one. Be. cause whether we like it or , not, we ordinary citizens are both. the umpires and the cash customers in this game.
