process of our young people and denying them that delightful time of life known as childhood Mr Knott argued that the per missive society with its lack of discipline and low morality Is responsible for many of Ihe problems of youth Why escape Why do all of us seek a new life in chemical or psychological escape ho asked Maybe we adults should ask ourselves why we devour tons of tran quilizers and
