LÖGBERG-HEIMSKRINGLA, FIMMTUDAGINN 19. JÚNI 1975 3 POLLI í islenska dýrasafninu Þetta er dverghesturinn Polli, ættaður trá Katadal I Húnavatns- sýslu, og mun vera tveggja vetra. Hann er aðeins rúmur meter á hæð. Hann kom í gær I tslenska dýrasafnið i Breiðfirðingabúð frá Viðinesi á Kjalarnesi, þar sem hann hefur verið á fóðrum að undanförnu. Ari Kárason fór I dýrasafnið f gær og tók þá þessar myndir af Kandý Friðjónsdóttur og hestinum Polla, sem henni þvkir afar vænt um. Dverghestar sem þessi eru afarfátiðir á ts- landi, og er ekki að efa að mörg- um muni leika forvitni á að sjá Polla I Dýrasafninu á næstunni. Flugleiðir mótmœla Flugleiðir háfa sent frá sér mótmæli vegna fyrirhugaðrar á- lagningar flugvallarskatts. Segir að álagningin myndi hafa i för með sér fækkun á komum Utlend- inga til landsins. Hækkun lend- ingargjalda myndi einnig hafa neikvæð áhrif á flugrekstur. 1 mótmælunum segir að svo geti farið að Flugleiðir verði að taka á sig allt flugvallargjaldið fyrir útlendinga fram til 1. október, en það. þýddi yfir 100 milj. kr. i aukin rekstrarútgjöld. Hækkun lendingargjaldanna myndi hækka rekstrargjöld um 44.5 milj. kr. á þessu ári. Mótmælum flugfélagsins fylgja ýtarlegir útreikningar. Nýft símanúmer Lögbergs- Heimskringlu 247-7798 Our new telephone number: 247-7798 TO BE OR NOT TO BE YOUNG What’s more fun than to be young in a world’ that’s treating you right? Nothing according to popular opinion, but what’s wrong with having been young long ago and able to tell the young from a great height how to enjoy youth. George Bernard Shaw of blessed memory, is said to have opined that youth was to precious a commodity to wast on the young. But then what did he not say? His life- time spanned almost a century and he spent most of it say- ing quotable things about everything under the sun- He was also a rebel who quarrelled openly with the powers that be, including the omnipotent and maybe his famous observation just broke out of his system in a moment of wistful reflection during his armchair years. But who said that youth was a perishable commodity that had to be consumed in just so many calendar years or lost forever? Youth is a state of mind and so is fun, and nobody has more fun than the young old ma» and his young old woman who just roll along with rushing time, giving and getting as they go their merry way. “The good old days are wonderful dream material,” an elderly farm woman said to me once, “but I wouldn’t want to live them over again.” When I asked her whether she would use her youth differently if it were given back to her she answered with a ripple of merry laughter: ‘That’s a silly question. I couldn’t choose my own time to be young and neither can the young people of today.” She said that for the first few years of life, her body was endowed with a renwable source of energy, and this was a good arrangement. If young people weren’t equipped with a surplus c£ strength their hectic working years would be drudgery instead of a ohallange and fun would be no part of their life. “Youth is work, ambition and struggle,” she said- “I spent mine earning the freedom I have today. I enjoyed life because I was young and strong. Now I’m no longer strong, but still young enough to enjoy a number of things I had no time for when I was young and busy. She thanked the machine age for the true liberation of farm women. She and her husband had worked side by side in the field when they were young. They were in con- stant competition with the elements, which sometimes seem ed possessed of a wanton will to deprive them of the hard eamed fruits of their labours. Often her evening hours were used up doing housework, her husband’s choring around the barn. Baking a batch af bread tied her to the house for a day and the family laundry made equal demands- But they had fun, plenty of it, in the horse-and-buggy days, spending hours of travel to get to town or to attend a dance. That was their youth and they had no option to spend it any other way. They were past middle age when they finally achieved liberation from dawn-to-dark labour, because modern mech- anical devices shouldered more than half the load. In the way of her peneration, spoke dreamily of broadened horiz- ons, and it was easy to picture the young girl who in capt- ivity gazed across the wheat fields to the prairie horizin wondering what say beyond- She said she had been to towns and cities she had never hoped to see, when she was young, and she talked of the pleasures and problems of modern living, of pollution and politics, the gentle melodies of her youtih and the rock music of today’s young. She kept working and playing and concerning herself with the chang- ing issues of her time. She is still very much alive, and isn’t that the essence of youth, after all?
