4—The Mill City Enterprise, Thursday, Oct. 16, 1969 parents. To The Editor: In response to Cpl. Drynan’s fine letter and those that en sued on the topic of teen-age drug usage, I would offer a few of my own thoughts. What reasons do teens give for experimenting with drugs? Most of the reasons boil down to: “A search for reality, mean ing for life, ‘What’s it all a bout anyway?” Kids have al ways wanted answers and somehow as they looked to th” older generation for these an swers, they saw too many in consistencies. How many perents have said, “You shouldn't smoke it’s not good for you?” But the parent continues smoking. The same applies to alcohol, pep pills, tranquilizers etc. as was mentioned in previous let ters to the Editor. Inconsis tencies have shown up in too many other areas as well. We say: “We must lie honest," but how many corners are cut in dealing wtih our fellow man? Kids aren’t dummies; they see through these failures. If any one has been fooled, it’s the Coming soon on radio .... Oregon's International Fish Monday, October 20 ALBANY - KRKT 12:15 P.M. ALBANY - KWIL 4:40 P.M.

In these days there is much talk about the “New Morali ty” which isn’t new. In ac- uality, it’s the "Old immoral ity” that has plagued human ity since man began. Kids have seen much of this in the older generation too. No wonder they’re confused. There is also much talk a- bout faith. "Have faith in yourself, in others; in God.” But the kids seem to have been let down when it comes to a practical faith that works, that reaches them right where they live. Too many of the peo ple they’ve watched are unable to relate their faith to every day life. It is left inside the church when the doors close Sunday—if they've made it to church. But there is a Faith that is working today. Many people, teenagers and adults, are find ing that faith in God through the person of His Son, Jesus Christ is still the answer to life’s problems. They are find ing through Him the meaning and purpose of life through His Abundant Life. This has been working for centuries, but sometimes we need re minding that Christ has, and is the answer to each of Life’s frustrations. if we love our children, we owe them some answers. The time to start giving them the answers to life is while they’re toddlers and will still listen to us. We should remember that “what we are speaks louder than what we say." Maybe if we adults apply the Truth to our own lives, v/e can still help our teen-agers find the reality for which they are searching. Isn’t it worth a try? Sincerely, Mrs. Igiddy Elliott.

They face a heavy responsibility. The future of the nation depends on citizens who are will ing to study carefully and weigh the economical, educational and social issues—and vote for candidates who stand for sound government at every level—national, state, and local. We are talking particularly to the new voters—and the generations to follow—because they will have to cope with the colossal expenditures for programs inmplemented before they could have their say tit the polls. W e are talking to the new voters also in the hope that they will believe that progress depends on individual ince- tive—not feder.d paternalism. Where this nation will head in the *70s should be the prime concern of the young people of this generation. To a large degree, it’s their responsibility. The time to start is now. A major public decision will come this November with your initial vote. It could be a determining factor in the establishing of a more responsible electorate.
