Do you have any kids who now are able to drive the car and go to drive-in movies? Do you have any discussions with your kids about the films they see there? Our oldest son drives the family car this summer. He also has taken a keen interest in drive-in theatres this year for the first time, I have my ideas as to why drive-ins hold such extreme fascination for our son but let's just say he's going to the drive-in because it is a way of life in our North American society of 1973. Every once in a while, I'll ask him, "How was the movie?" A few times he's replied," I was disappointed. "Once he said, "I didn't like it at all." Sometimes he replied, "It was okay I guess." Definitely not the ravings of a youth completely sold on the programs available at the neighbourhood drive-ins, I'd say. And I'm not surprised. Have you taken a good look at the fare which is being served up these days at a good many of the local drive-ins? Take a look at the next drive-in calendar that comes into your home. There's usually three or four "skin flickS" as the kids call them; some violent non-talent things; a couple of no-account science- fiction thrillers; and one or two half-decent pictures per month. Yet the kids are there--by the carload. Why? Likely because it is a place to park without anyone caring. You pay your money and there's no questions asked, If the entertainment is good, you get an added bonus which is almost unexpected these days. An expensive place to park, you say? I guess it depends upon the way you look at it. Society accepts kids 'parking' in the drive-in theatres. It doesn't condone 'parking' in the streets or 'loitering' in the parks or on the street corners. Where else does a fellow take his girl these days, especially with the family parlor more like Grand Central Station than a quiet zone. But what about those movies which artekbeing; served up in the nations outdoor theatres? What about those sexy sadistic films which are being sold as art? I'm willing to wager that for the most part, the kids aren't even remotely interested, You see one, you see them all, I'll bet. Whether or not such movies are "turning on" the youth of our country, I'd have no idea although I'd suspect the' percentage is extremely low, Although I've not seen many of these low-budget creations, I've been told they're so badly done they don't even have the capacity to arouse. And what about violence on the screen? Well, to the war- ped sick mind, violence may be exhilerating....and that kind of a mind is going to be fed by something somewhere no mat- ter what, To the average teenager in a theatre under the stars, though, there's a slim chance they'll leave the premises to maim and to kill. They'll probably look at the movie from a kind of far-off position with the immediate ac- tion in the car taking the greatest part of their attention. So, if like me you are convin- ced that sex and violence do not attract normal thinking people, then why not offer something else at the drive-in theatres? Why ,not better movies which draw not only the youthful crowd looking for a place to park but the oldsters as well? Why not an evening of live entertainment complete with flashing lights and other visual aids? Why not a concert of recorded music using some of the top music of the day plus second-to-none sound equip- ment? If you think I'm miles off base--if you think the youth of the day is hooked on sex and violence--sit down and talk seriously to the kids you know. Listen to them, Hear their wants and their needs. You'll find they want just about what everybody else wants--only in a little different wrappings. You'll find they are wonderful people with an appetite for ad- venture and romance of almost the same type as yours....and you'll find they are a lot more discerning and a lot more en- tertainment-wise than most adults give them credit for. There's nothing new about looking for a place to park. There's nothing new about bad movies. What is new is that a large percentage of today's youth are mature enough to handle both. silver tray fr.om the Huron County Pork Producers' Association and a leather bag and leather gloves by Bainton Ltd. of Blyth. The other con- testants were presented with a pair of leather gloves each from Bainton Ltd, Paul Steckle of RR 2, Zurich, was master of ceremonies for the Hostess competition. A dance at the Seaforth Community Centre rounded out the evening's entertain- ment. Morning sickness If your brakes aren't working right when you first apply them in the morning, they may have "Morning sickness," says the Ontario Safety League. If it takes longer than usual to stop, if your brakes grab or the car pulls to one side, if braking ac- tion is erratic, then overnight dew or extremely humid air may he affecting your brakes. The cure is easy. Dry them by applying gentle brake-pedal pressure for a distance of 50 feet - six or seven car lengths - while moving forward at about 10 to 15 mph.

The selection of the Huron County Pork Hostess was part of the annual Huron County Pork Producers' Association pork barbecue. There were three girls in the competition and the other competitors were Janice Johns, 19, of RR 3, Exeter, and Adrienne VanRaay, 19, of Dashwood. Debbie will represent Huron's pork producers at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto in Novdtnber. The idea of a Pork Hostess for the province is relatively new, and the producers hope her duties will 'help promote the respective product to con- sumers across the province. Each girl was interviewed by the panel of judges made up of Mrs. Robert McKercher of Seaforth, Mrs. Ian McAllister of Zurich and Mr. and Mrs. Sid Freleigh of Lambton County. The girls were questioned on pork production, preparation of pork for the dinner table, and general information questions.
