Zurich Citizens News, 1968-07-18, Page 2PAGE TWO ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, JULY 13, 198 edI04I Youths Unjustly Treated Some adults react strongly against the activities of young people. A few weeks ago, we noted in the Sackville paper what happened to a youth centre in that town. High school students had a room where they could drop in for coffee and chatter and records, etc. One night, after the place was closed, a gang broke in and created havoc. On account of the deprada- tions of these few, the adults closed the place to all. Something similar has now hap- pened in Pictou. Because a few in- dividuals made a nuisance of them- selves at the Saturday night Drop -In Centre, the adults decided to shut out ail young people. If this same principle were applied tc adults, there would not be a place c:pen to the public anywhere in the land. Hockey games would have been stepped at the Forum in Montreal. Many university doors would be closed. Some churches would be locked because certain priests and clergymen took part in marches that led to violence. Here in our own town the rink would be closed (an occasional fight) and the armories would be closed (be cause someone made a nuisance of himself at a dance) . And so it goes. Adults who normally obey the laws of the land would be annoyed if they were told they could not go some place because one of their neighbors had caused trouble. If we want to help our young peo- ple to grow up, we should grant them some of the same consideration we give to those who have passed the magic age of 21. In other words, we suggest only the offenders should be punished. It seems unjust to punish 29 well-be- haved young people simply because one bad apple got into the cider.— The Pictou (N.S,) Advocate. Pick It Up Although many people these days are more inclined to drive cars than walk, the pleasure of walking seems to be relegated to bygone days. One who does not take walks often misses many fine things. There is the pleas- ure of seeing neat gardens and flower beds, various building activities about town, and also the enjoyment of stop- ping to talk to acquaintances. One unpleasant aspect of walking these days is the way in which the sin of Jitterbugging is driven home. A walk along the streets will show the degree of sloppiness which seems to have stricken the people. Streets are often littered with all sorts of items from cigarette cartons to pieces of wrapping paper. One local resi- dent commented that each day he finds it necessary to walk about the front of his main street home to pick up litter carelessly discarded by per- sons unknown. It might be said that picking up litter is a good physical fitness pro- gram, but it is unsightly to see neat- ly trimmed Iawns, freshly weeded :Flower beds and cropped hedges which have become a resting place for litter. Some deterrents we could think up would scarcely be more civilized than the actions of the litterbugs. All we can do is appeal to the individuals to help keep the town and the country clean. It's a good habit, and costs no money. How about trying it? Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.— (New Hamburg Independent). "Rights" Not the Whole Story As the Commission on the Status ei Women travels around the coun- try most of the arguments it hears are balanced and responsible. There is genuine discrimination against the `second sex" and it has been well documented. Salaries and promotions -trail unfairly; the uncertainties and pressures of housewife -wage earner ambivalence have been accurately pointed up. A good many of tl'ie briefs by in- dividuals, however, are strident and egocentric. Those who clamor with such vehemence for assorted individ- ual freedoms might learn a lot from the women who broke the ground on which they stand. Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards, the famous quintette who established that wom- en are legally "persons" had other ends in view than their personal rights. They were concerned about widows with no property protection, homeless children, penal reform. Though each of them carved out a notable career — Mrs. Murphy as the first women police magistrate in the Commonwealth; McClung, Parlby and McKinney, Alberta MLAs; Mrs. Edwards as a key figure in the na- tional Council of Women—this was the result of, and incidental to the causes they championed so effec- tively. They regarded the vote as a tool for social justice and they accepted responsibilities as legislators (fifty years later in the federal and provin- cial governments combined there are fewer than 20 women) . Among the, greater privileges that should be accorded women is the right to use the full range of their talents for the common good. — (Unitd Church of Canada, Board of Evangelism) . Where Have the Children Gone? I've been looking at the papers, With their pictures and their prose, And a nagging starts within me .. . And daily, daily grows. Today we have "Delinquents" Or `Scholars' of the best, But where have all the children gone? The ones not like the rest. They don't get into trouble, Nor do they top their class. They run and jump and skip and play, Numbers What next? We noted a recent advertisement of the department of national revenue which says that if a social insurance number is not included on one's in- come tax return "we" (presumably meaning employees of the depart- ment) "must sit down and find out In school they barely pass. While some parents hide their sorrows And others shout for joy ? No one seems to notice Just a normal girl or boy. Surely there are thousands Or are mine the only ones? Of"Scholars" and "Delinquents I've heard enough, Where have the children gone? A Parent Only who you are". There's no question about it. Your full name, address, marital status and place of employment (if any) are no longer enough. You've got a number now, and buddy, you'd better use it !—The Ot- tawa Southeaster and Times.

When men do the dishes them- selves while their wives 'tend to the baby or finish the ironing that's another thing. But when nien at a party let their wives sit idley by while they wash the dishes that's subject material for a column. At least that's what four girls thought who asked me to write a "Window" about their dour astonishing male escorts who in- sisted the gals rest and take it easy While they cleaned up the kitchen. I must say I find this act about as amazing as anyone. In fact one of my pet peeves has always been that men have a fantastic faeulty for getting out of the routine chores when it is special occasion. You ladies will know just what I mean. A family dinner is a prime example. ,Mother and the girls work for several hours to pre- pare the feast. They are respon- sible to see also that the house is clean, that the children are tended and that father has fresh socks and shirt for the outing. On the appointed hour the men sit down at the dinner table to gorge themselves in un- interrupted bliss while the gals jump up and down filling plat- ters, wiping up spilled milk and taking junior to the toilet. The •males generally have finished the dessert before the females, get a chance to eat their meal of cold spuds, chilled turkey and 1 jelled gravy. At this point the fellows lean back in their chairs and light up anything that will make lots and lots of smoke. As the women try to enjoy their pie and ice cream, the men deaden their wives tastebuds with heavy cigar and pipe fumes which seem to settle best on. the whipped cream. Well filled ash trays are placed closed be- side the plates of those who have not yet finished eating and Reception and Dance For MR. and MRS.

At the precise moment that the girls rise to scrape and stack the dishes, the men van- ish like mist in the morning. Some times they will all gather around Uncle Bill's new car to take a look at the power steer- ing or examine the salt damage from last winter. Often the men retire to the living room or basement to play cards Where they won't be bothered by the noisy kids. They might just scatter to all parts of the prop- erty to be less conspicuous—or in desperation take a drive to view the crops. My dear husband :bless :his retrained heart—has learned to take his place on the dish :bri- gade with the rest of the diners. Anyone who eats should help with the dishes I told him, espe- cially when it is supposed to be a holiday for the family. Just where mnn first got the idea that Sundays and holidays were meant solely for their benefit is more than I can fathom. As proven by the antics of the four guys who did the clean- up while their dolls sat by and drooled, smart fellows see the wisdom in treating their ladies to a rest from KP once in a while.

One caution though, fellows. Don't overdo the good thing by assuming the role of a full-time maid. Some women wouldn't know a good husband if he washed all her dishes — and brother, cif you don't get some kind of special thanks for tak- ing some of the load off her dishpan hands you might as well go check the sump pump motor with the rest of the boys after meals.
