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

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.

PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITY
reach voting are this year. 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.
