QUESTION: What do you think of the Victoria Day riots in Montreal? Herman Vanderveen of 109 Hillcrest dr., Whitby: "'I think myself they're just 2 bunch of kids trying to make a name for themselves. I was in Quebec last month and I saw many young beatniks asserting themselves. They seem to be against everyone whatever their politics." Jim Leach of Kelowna, B.C.: "I lived in Quebec. for two years and whenever there's trouble my sympathies are with the French. Whatever happens that problems arise the English started it." Olga Featherstone of 431 Simcoe st. n.: "I lived 22 years in Quebec and the Monday riots were just terrible. The trouble was probably started by a group of hoodlums out for kicks. The real separatists are more subversive than the youths who created the disturbance." David Lee, 15, of 89 Wilkinson av.: "I think the rioters are stupid. They're just some French guys who want to break away from Canada and they're better off now. Que- bec wouldn't have so much money if it left Canada," Mrs. Helen Dallaire of 310 Elgin st. e.: "I lived in Quebec for 20 years and kids looking for excitement prob- ably caused the trouble.' She said the separatists may have taken part 'but Quebec doesn't have enough of everys thing to be alone." Mrs, Judy Locke of 88 Simcoe st. s.: "They were prob- ably started by kids looking for kicks and encouraging others, especially teenagers, to join them. The police seem to be doing all they. can but maybe the answer is to control the teenagers a bit more." \ David Lee Helen Dallaire
