Earlier this summer, a guideline, for new classifications was released that offers some insight into the content of the film as well. If a movie is rated as Family, it means the subject matter is suitable for all ages and provides healthy family entertainment. A movie classified as Parental Guidance, in- dicates the theme or content may be more mature than family films. However, children are permitted to attend such a film un- supervised and the decision about the suitability of the film lies entirely with the parents. Films in' this category may contain limited violence, such as hand-to-hand fighting, the use of weapons without excessive bloodletting and the restrained portrayal of an accident or disaster. Films rated Parental Guidance may also contain scenes involving very brief or casual nudity, romantic involvement which is not sexually explicit and there may mild use of coarse or vulgar language. Many films have now been classified as Adult Accompaniment. These films are restricted to persons 14 years of age and older unless accompanied by an adult. The content of such movies may be more mature and not considered suitalbe for most children under 13. Films in this category may contain limited nudity and sexual involvement. There may also be sexual inuendo, suggestive or vulgar dialogue, coarse allusion'and offensive language. There may be a higher degree of violence in such rated films, including bloodletting. Violence and nudity will not be gratuitous but should be integral to the plot. Films labelled Restricted limits admittance to those of 18 years and over. Fihns may become restricted if they contain scenes of heavy violence, torture or abuse, extremely graphic depiction of accidents or horror, full nudity, sexual activity or undue use of offensive language. Films which promote controversial or anti -social lifestyles might also be restricted, depending on format and force of presentation. Your authorized Dealer fors..

(Photo by Cath Wooden) Round 'n About - with Martha. Martha Rathburn Today, everyone I meet is complaining about the rain and cold. I agree it makes for lousy weather but what's the use of complaining? Maybe I'm just getting old. and grouchy but I think everyone is entitled to their grumps as long as they don't push them too far. So, I'm respecting your feelings about the cold, miserable weather facing us and I'm not going to say a word about how I feel about it. So there! This time in year 1958. issue of the Signal -Star a large heading reported, "Cool breezes at the, Water- front". Unseasonable it was called, with wind -tossed' waves. At that time, they were dredging the salt plant site - or at least they were dredging something and the heavy winds razed the partly built walls, $10,000 worth, qA- amino one` was very happy about that! The old SOO DOC had been tied up here for two , months and was ready . to leave for the Lakehead. The John Ericsson picked up a barge - the Alexander Holley. Does the John E still come here or is it retired? I've been missing the goings-on with the big boats...so can't recall these old-timers. Tom .Pritchard° - that wonderful man - was Harbour Master for many, Many years. Everyone loved him! . • • In '58 some good advice was being dealt out to the teens re: learning to drive. "Provincial driving rules should be learned thoroughly. Use. the sar for transportation - not enter- tainment. Do not drive with an overcrowded car. Keep both hands on the wheel - boy THAT'S an oldie that came with Ford's first car! Don't 'race at stoplights or on the highway — totally ignored to- day. Don't get involved in a game of "chicken" OR other suicidal ' highway games. Also not heeded. We have lost a great number of teeners in THIS game. Abide by traffic laws. Don't break it because others dorive with care, courtesy and'Com- mon sense." I'm afraid the kids think we are putting them on when •any of the above advice is of- , fered. I feel it is better to be silent than give. them new ideas for wrecking the car. Some of them bristle and claim to be good drivers - and I do know SOME, but if they had to earn every cent that is put into a car, they might smarten up and learn how to really enjoy their car AND their money. And so it goes - or so they go - another teen -child damaged and another car totalled. The beginners driv- ing licence is far too easily bought. Perhaps heavier ex- ams would help? Recently, I met -Dr. Leitch, Mrs. Leitch and daughter and a friend. I had not seen any of them since they mov- ed from Goderich many. years ago. The years have been kind to them -- they looked young and wonderful. Somewhere along the line, they have lost I0 or 15 years and I was glad! Isn't it nice to meet people . after a long absence and find " ahem looking young and hap- py? I hope • some day so- meone will feel the same way about me! How about that! Back in 1952 I went with a group of Art Club people to the sixth concession to paint. Painting a barn is a big job at any time but for a budding artist who couldn't see any "beautiful colour" in a big qld, grey barn it was quite a chore. Anyway, I did not make much headway with the painting so went back the next day to try again. Dr. and Mrs. Watters were also parked on the road PAIN- TING and so. I found a spot and set up my junk - in the car - I believe it was cold or windy or something. So, you get all this stuff in front of you and try to paint. From where I. sat I could see the new house 'George Turton, whose family, I believe, own- ed the big barn,. was putting on the roof and I could see people on it.- Have t:Have you ever been wat- ching something when you +•+•++ OPPORTUNITIES OFA LIFETIME thought you saw a happning out of the corner of.your eye? Well, I saw something fall • off the roof and didn't know if it was a board ora body! I was petrified! I could just watch to see if there was any action on the ground before I Could move. Finally someone ran across the road to the farm and I knew the worst had happened. • Doyou think I could get _that stuff in front of me mov- ed? It seemed to take ages,. but finally I got mobile and went to check, then back to the doctor, who hadn't seen what had happened. George, about 22, a good looking kid,, had a broken back and a•pair of paralyzed legs. It took him years,and mon- ths of rehabilitation to bring himself to where he could establish his insurance business - including taking typing at GDCI, ' then a business course at Stratford. At this time he met a lovely girl who was to become his wife - much later. So, after years of despair for George, this story has a happy ending. I have not seen him and his family for some time, but I hope everything is still going hap- pily. How did I get on that story? I happened to see a picture of a beautiful bride sitting on the arm of her groom's wheelchair - that's how I got that happy ending') So speaking of paintings - George now has the one I painted that day - but I will - have a show of others I've done on October 10th, perhaps the 9th also at Sun - coast Mall. Do come andsee me and my "stuff".
