AND SPICE

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

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
