TERRACE BAY NEWS _ snobbish about their November 9, 1967 7 Some of us vemneutl 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 can get their hands on and try to in- fuse a brew of opium, so that they can turn on? All I know 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 you want to grace it with such a term, and that most of them don't know 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 "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 much to the average kid today. It's not nearly as important as the latest "soul" reeord. And it's a. mild bore, a solemn mo- ment at school, that has no connection with the Saturday night date, or the really impor- tant things of life. It's jugt one of those silly things that middle-aged people get "all hung up" about, like hard work .and honesty a chastity and all those oth 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 group" and march on something or other, City Hall: The American Con- sulate. It doesn't matter. Break some windows. Splash some paint. And go home sniggering 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 and 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 rotten. War is stupid. 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. oi" a a hallinta 8 eS ee Sea
