My children’s eration gap is is being brought up in the in all its appa world. It is their oyster. all its misund‘ In my youth, we read of im- portant world events in our newspapers within hours, and of less important developments within days or weeks. Occas- ionally, we heard a world lead- er, or demagogue, through com- peting static on our radio sets as his voice faded, or strength- ened, with the radio signal. Immediacy was at its highest when we saw newsreels at the local cinema just a week or so after the event. Travelogues took us to distant exotic lands, lands we had little, if any. hope ‘of visiting. We have also had remote civilizations within our own country or cities. The poor, the black, the Indian, Eskimo and Metis. The handicapped. the retarded, the "indifferent" affluent, the struggling immi- grant “foreignerâ€, the aged. Social and political condi- tions in Asia, Africa, and even parts of Europe, had little re- lationship to our everyday lives. To a large extent, we lived in our own cocoons, unless a war ‘shattered our isolation, or a re- turned missionary extorted a conscience contribution from us. When we met a friend a hun- dred miles from home, we said, “It's a small worldâ€. Our worlds were indeed small. To- ‘day. our children are tramping through countries that were part of a mass of distant, unde- fined civilization. It’s a big world, but modern communica- tions and transportation are making all its parts and all its problems a matter of immediate and intimate knowledge and concern. Our children have grown up in a time when even minor in- cidents in distant lands are pre- sented vividly on their TV screens as they occur. In-depth information is available within hours. Equally important is the fact that the people in these far- off lands are aware of what is happening to us. They see our affluence paraded before them. They will never return to their cocoons again. In most cases. we were so preoccupied with the immediate challenges of our day we paid little, or superficial, attention to those in other cocoons. For mam, the challenge was simply to survive, to get a jog, to be able to afford three meals a day. For a few. it was to preserve their privileged position, to take 1the most out of life they could without their conscience being itweaked by a neWSpaper article \or a TV documentary. Our crucible was depression and war. Our children’s is humanity. Our palliatives were religion, alcohol, cigarets and, though it was beneath the blankets, sex. The most destruc- tive were indifference or eva- sion. Evasion by hypocrisy or by shadings of the truth. Our children, thankfully, reject many of our values.

Our palliatives were religion, alcohol, cigarets and, though it was beneath the blankets, sex. The most destruc- tive were indifference or eva- sion. Evasion by hypocrisy or by shadings of the truth. Our children, thankfully, reject many of our values. They are struggling to define their own. In some cases they have done so admirably, in very many others they have yet to find their way. In still others, they have over-reacted or been deflected. but they are not settling for the status quo, nor- should they, for the status quo is different each day. From coast-to-coast, people demand less government in- volvement in their lives and a defined limit on government spending. They have a right to demand efficient administra~ tion and avoidance of waste in government. Do they, however, have a right to demand govern- ment ignore new problems fac- ing our society?

(Continued from Page Opposes Legalizing 0f “Pot†“Within The Church Is A Home,†By BARNETT J. DANSON, MP @WAWA REPEDRT YORK NORTH LeDain Report. Here, the gen- eration gap is laid bare for us in all its apparent ugliness, in. all its misunderstanding. Our morality. our law, our whole range of standards are open for discussion and decision. We can hide from it, for a while, we can try to impose our moral code and obsolete values, or We can, as we must. be as honest with ourselves as the situation demands we be with our child- ten. As both a parent and a poli- tician, I don’t know of any is- sue that brings our problems into such sharp focus or causes so much anguish as does the LeDain Report. At the same time, if we honestly analyse and compare, the prospects need not be so ravaging to our minds ‘and souls. Perhaps the most ‘difficult problem that faces us \is one of time. Our children don’t want ac- tion in due course: 'they want it now. Being older doesn't make us any more clever, nor does it necessarily bestow greater wis- dom. Age does, hOWever, give us perspective. We know that progress usually comes slowly. Even rapid progress is slow to our children. Four or five years is 20% or 25% of their lives and they aren’t prepared to wait. While speaking to an audi- ence in North Bay recently a middle aged man stood up and demanded that we (the govern- ment) leave him alone. He had‘ enough interference in his life. While |his cry was against gov-‘ ernment -â€" all govemments,‘ though the federal government‘ was the target at the moment â€"- he was really crying out against society. The new, rapidly changing complex society to iwhich governments must be sensitive and responsive. Bet- ‘ter governments will not only ‘respond. but anticipate, which is even more difficult in deal- ‘ing with a society which does not always see its goals or com ‘sequences clearly. They, too, will learn the les- son of time but because of ad- vanced communications and technology, plus their disen- chantment with present society, they won’t settle for as much time as we might wish to take. They have a legitimate right to stand and that we try to under- stand and that we react with an honesty which is as absolute as as theirs. This will be uncom- fortable for us because it will demand effort, involvement, the disruption of our self-comfort- ing patterns which makes being thoroughly honest with ourselv- es imperative. realitieé of our time and suffer the consequences of such neg- lect. This demands more than ac- tion on the part of government itself. It demands the involve- ment of each of us as constitu- ents of this soeiety. This is what is upsetting. It is disturb- We, of course, must be in. volved, Not to be so would be the height of irresponsibility. Our job. in government, is to be involved intelligently, respons- ibly, sensitively and as effici- ently as our rather inefficient to which the horses were tied are chewed in a variety of patterns. Mrs. Binnington commented that even the horses became impatient with long winded preachers. The shed has attracted pas- sers by, one man said that his father was the minister at Hartman sixty years ago. Memories linger here of wo- men in high buttoned shoes and leg 0‘ mutton sleeves chatting while they waited for their husbands to 'un- hitch'. This was a forum for community matters.

I remember, just recently. how We thought “the pill" was the only answer, if not to a maiden’s prayer, at least to a woman’s prayer. Now we see how much care must be taken. ing to have to think not only of the problems, but of the solu- tions. It is disturbing to have to adjust to a new society when we were relatively comfortable in the old one. It is uncom- fortable when governments place White Papers before us and ask us to help them come up with answers. Governments aren't, or should not be, detached bodies, and are far from omnipotent. Govern- ments are the vehicles We choose in our democratic soci- ety to manifest society‘s aspir- ations. Government doesn’t give us things or services. It’s us, and it's our money, and in our system it can L ily proceed at a pace or in directions ac- ceptable to most of us - right or wrong. Certainly, it must lead but we must be prepared to be led or accept the direc- tion of that leadership. I don’t want to be part of a decision to legalize “pot†be- cause I’m afraid of it. Afraid of a further imbalance of the body chemistry and the psyche. I don’t know what the ultimate consequences will be. I want to see greater experience. Society is almost too complex for government to handle and that is why you and I must get involved as private citizens. Private citizens, with all too little privacy, but we can’t turn society off at will. The poor won’t just go away. The kids won't say, "OK. we‘ll cut out drugs and settle for self-des- troying cigarettes or whiskeyâ€. Red China won‘t smoke peace pipes with its neighbors. Afri- can tribes won't stop fighting or starving. Our air and rivers won’t depollute themselves. Our industry won’t stop coming under domination from foreign corporations, nor will the un- scrupulous cease to exist. I have told audiences of teen- agers that I don't want to be part of a decision that legalizes pot. I’ve read all about it. dis- cussed it with kids, and am reasonably confident that it is less harmful than cigarettes or alcohol. I haven’t heard of as many teenage drunken drivers in serious accidents in recent years. Have you? I look back I might not be afforded this luxury.

Marion, a hard-bitten young Cockney of nine- teen, shakes Robert’s self-esteem when he falls in love with her despite the difference in ages and back- grounds. Robert’s down-to-earth friend is Andrew, a happily married family type, and editor of the mag- azine for which Robert writes. Robert’s rival for Marion is the antithesis of the sophisticated gourmet. Jimmy is a lino~layer and part-time drummer in a band. He is, of course, Ehoroughly out of his element with Robert and An- rew. In contrast to Marion with her pertness and tough native wisdom, is Clare, Robert’s elegant mis- tress until the advent of Marion. There is a third lovely involved in the plot â€"- Paola, the continental au-pair who works for Andrew and his family. John the porter at Robert’s apartment building. adds to the fun with his droll comments. Ron Scott, who plays Robert. has proved his sense of timing and comedy many times at the Our- tain Club. He will be remembered particularly for his performance as old Hobson in “Hobson’s Choice", and the rascally highwayman in "The Beaux-Stratâ€" agemâ€. Dennis Stainer needs no introduction to local audiences, but this will probably be the first time he has been seen in a “straight†role. He is usually cast in character parts, and was the delightfully doddery old fellow in “The Loves Of Cass McGuireâ€. Playing Marion will be Tot Monks, who first act- ed with the Curtain Club when she played in “Sleep- ing Beauty†as a ten~yearâ€"old. Since then she has played Vicki, the younger sister in “Hobson’s Choiceâ€, and Dora, the Cockney maid in “Night Must Fallâ€. At UWO she was Estelle in “Huis Closâ€, the original version of Jean Paul Sartre’s “No Exitâ€. The remaining three members of the cast will be newcomers to the Curtain Club stage. Dillys Re< bow will be the gorgeous Clare, and Bonnie Shep- pard will be Paola. Dillys has already proved her- self as a worker backstage ‘in former productions, and Bonnie was featured with her husband Tom in this column as the artists who comprise the Shep- pard Studios in Richvale. Both girls are attractive additions to the Club’s acting force. 7 George Jones (John the porter), played in “The Odd Coupleâ€, and was the henpecked husband in “All Things Bright And Beautifulâ€. Jimmy will be played by Antony Whitney, who has recently arrived in this country from England, where he has been involved in various phases of act- ing, including films and television. “There’s A Girl In My Soup†will be produced by Joan Harold, more often seen on stage.
