The film, "Twelve and a Half Cents" will also be shown. This drama, originally a CBC broadcast, presents, a classic story of child abuse. Flash- backs to the abuse the mother suffered in childhood, alternating with sequences of her progressive abuse of her daughter, demonstrate the emotional reactions that reinforce the cycle. The in- cident of incest in the flash- back is merely suggested, making it possible for an abusing parent who has experienced incest, in any form as a child to identify with this mother. A child's unwillingness to report parents and the reluctance of others to get involved are clearly illustrated in' the frustrated effects of a teacher to get help NOTICE Ratepayers of The Town of Clinton are reminded that the fourth' in% staiment of 1977 Taxes are due and payable by Nov. 15. 1977. C. Proctor Clerk Town of Clinton for the child. The film treats the subject realistically but with restraint. This is an ex- ceptionalfilm for professional development and public education.
