Just Beat it! The Carnival Riot of 1969–Newspaper Articles
The young people occupying the bank stairs causing trouble– LOLOL- Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum
In 1970 my Father was furious that I was hanging out with hippies and always carrying a tambourine. During one of our arguments (at a neighbourhood party no less) I told him that all people over the age of 30 should be sent to farms. When I turned 30, my father handed me a birthday card and asked me when I was leaving for the farm. Touche Arthur Knight-touche!
The town of Carleton Place either had a band of hippies ride through town and park themselves at Riverside Park, or their youth were changing and the townsfolk wanted nothing to do with it.
Tonight- three edited letters below from 1970 The Carleton Place Canadian
