SOLEMN CEREMONY DISTURBED

Slr,—l-Iow many parents llkie tn have thelr okuldxen referredwo as “boodlums"?

Various visitors t0 this Island who witnessed the solemn and impressive ceremony tn front of the War Memorial on Tuesday last used just this term ln refer- ring to certain children who were present. "

Should not. the splrlt that prompts us older people to dedl- cate two minutes of silence to the thoughts of neur and clear ones who sacrificed their lives for Free- dom ln, the last war be passed on to the children?

These solemn thoughts were ln- terrupted ‘by the screams of youngsters calling to one another. the chatter of those who througn lack of understanding had forced tl-ielr way right lnto the midst of the llnea of soldiers.

What. our visitors are asking themselves ls-J-Iave the mothers and fathers of these children no clvlc pride? Have they no control over their children? And finally what shall be the fat/e of Char- lottetown in the future when these children are caTIed on tio hold the reins of Government and to run the City's affairs?

It might: appear that there ts liixlty in the authority exercised by the Cltv Pollce and a lack of understanding among the adult I-‘Opulatlcn as neither made any effort to keep these children in check during the service.
