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.

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? C.G
