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

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

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.

In spevking on the report in Wisconsin, Senator John F. Ken. nedy said “We have lost our will to fight and sacrifice and endure,

Celgar, said the men at that meeting, gave assurances that whenever possible local men would be given preference for jobs at the site.

Terming the problem a juris. dictional one, the jJocal eleetri- cians told council that job juris. diction had been given to Local 213 at Vancouver, but this area’s Local 999 men can’t get work at the site,

If the union gets a call for men on the Celgar project, it is “almost sure” that the man who stands 29th on the list will be sent to the site,
