The present younger
generation isn’t the first (me Ho
find fault with the establish
ment, nor the first to go to great
lengths in an effort to be dif
ferent and avoid r^^entation.
Juvenile delinquency
probably started with Cain.
Undoubtedly he caused his
parents, Adam and Eve, a lot of
worry before be killed his
brother, Abel. In short, human
nature hasn’t changed much
since Biblical days.
When your parents and your
granc^Mirents were your age,
they were to a large degree
exhibitionists just like you.
They didn’t have as many
privileges, but they made the
most of the ones they had.
What they probably
overlooked and what you may
be overlooking now, is the in
disputable fact that teenagers,
even as older people, are vic
tims of self imposed
regimentation.

Could anyone be more
regimented in what they wear
and how they act than those who
are classified as hippies by
adults? They take great pains to
dress alike, wear ornaments
alike, and Udk alike.
Originality is a rarity in any
age group. As soon as any
human is old enough to voice a
preference, what he or she
wears is dictated as much as
possible by those who create
fashions or dream up freaky
st)4es.
Your parents wouldn’t have
gone to school in blue jeans, or
worn their hair in the manner
that you do, even if refusal to do
so meant severe punidiment.
They knew that no one else
would be dressed that way.
Then as now, the un
pardonable sin was to be dif
ferent from the crowd. No
matter how ridiculous a style
may be, if it’s popular that’s ^
that matters. So most of us
aren’t doing our thing, we’re
just following the leader.
Humans learn early that
cemforming is much easier than
having the courage to follow
your own convictions. We don’t
want to be out of step, even if
the parade is moving in Ae
wrong direction.
So, when you accuse the
establishment of regimentation,
and being in a rut, don’t lose
sight of the fact that, more than
you realize, the younger
generation is just as guilty as
the older generation.
We are grateful
for your trust and
appreciate your
patronage.
And in serving you
we make it a point
to practice genuine
old fashioned
courtesy.

HERE’S «CHA CHA’' . . . Shirley ‘Clu Ciu” Mnldewney
wears a heavy protective suit (left) while piloting her Tnnny
Car” on the drag strips, then slips Into somedilng more com
fortable while awaiting her next ran. She recently soffeied tl^
degree barns in her last fire, when at 2M mph the goggles
homed off her face and she lost visibility and crashed. The
fastest ”rnnny Car” woman driver in the history of the sport,
she’s five-feet fear, 11# pounds, and 36-22-34.
Looking Gloss —
(Cootimifid from page 1)
discovered a green feather
sprouting from her, after she
shed her dyed purple plumage.
Aside from this she was
somewhat imdistinguished.
For one thing, despite the best
of laWng mash on her menu, she
rarely compensated by laying
an egg. As Tommy’s parents
figired it, each egg cost them at
ieast $25.
During all those 10 years,
Greenie hatched out one lone
biddy. It wasn’t long among the
living. Tommy aiso had a pony
named Nosey, and the biddy
drowned when it got up on
Nosey’s drinking tub, and tried
to make like a duck.
Speaking of Nosey, he stepped
on one (rf Greenie’s iegs one
day, and well nigh wrecked it.
Mrs. Davis, a graduate nurse,
gave the hen all the tenderness
and expert attention she coidd
muster up.
The pet never did fuily
recuperate', but continued to get
a lot out of life. Eggs or not, she
knew she woidd never end up in
a stew. It was clear the Davis
family wouldn’t trade her for a
goose that laid golden eggs.
Yesterday was when more
houses thw not had a rain
barreii resting under their
gutter spout. The women folks
liked to wash their hair in rain
water, and it was good for
washing clothes too.
Rain barreis were bad for
something. They were a won
derful place for mosquitoes to
breed.
