A PERSONAL COLUMN:

By BURT CAMPBELL
Coulan’t help thinking, while
attending -the Kinnaird Little
Theatre's production, of “Man
Alive,” that one of the main rea-
sons we in the audience found
the play so interesting was that
most of us were acquainted with
the private lives of the actors.

Amateur productions, always
fun to watch, are doubly so when
you are aware of the often staid
occupations of the actors in pri-
vate life while on the stage they
are capable of acting the com-
plete opposite.

On Today's Youth (cont’):
I've had several interesting dis-
cussions with various people
about my column dealing with a
Maclean's Magazine.Katz survey

.on today’s youth.

The main gist of my remarks
in that column was that today’s
youth are NOT equipped to face
the future; that the degree to
which modern teenarers
concern over our basic democrat-
ic freedoms is frightening, Most

. of them aren’t in rebellion, what

they want is more ee
and less liberty.
One particular person I dis-

* cussed the subject with was put

out with those of us that would
even dare raise the question of
whether or not today's‘youth are

. prppated to face the future.

lamented the fact that in
every “generation there are wri-
ters who condemn youth and
then applaud those same youths
when they are called upon to de-
fend their country “and make
the world safe for all of us.”
He had, in that argument.
one that I didn’t relish refuting
since: it meant-a more lengthy

More On

discussion than we had time for.
Particularly since it meant 2@
lengthy examination of our pre-
sent system of living to see if
today’s youth really know what
they are fighting for wnen they
go into battle or whether they
go’ into battle because they are
told to.

At any rate, today’s youth —
and all of us — have again been
pssailed. This time it is by a Uni~
ted States Army report on the
conduct of American prisoners
during the Korean war.
