HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Citizens News, 1964-06-11, Page 2PAGE TWO THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1964 dlafitt AWN Restricted Movies and All That The "amusement" page of one of the Toronto papers last week listed 15 movies that are playing in that city. Out of that many. four were classified by the Ontario censors as restricted to those 18 years of age and over, five were classified as adult entertainment and only six had no classi- fication. Actually, this doesn't come as much of a surprise. It seems that more and more movies are being made that require some direction for parents who wish to take their children to the show. The trend has been developing over the past few years. To make the public come to the movie houses, sex evidence has to be included in the film, apparently. We can remember a few years ago when Hollywood produced a film called "The Moon Is Blue". Immediately on its release, everybody was up in arms about it. The Hays office and the Catholic League of Decency wouldn't give it their approval, many movie houses refused to show it and it was even banned in Boston. Of course, it was an instant success and went on to make a pile of money. Today, that same film would be considered pretty tame. The European film makers are chiefly responsible. Over there, movies are never made or produced, they are "created". People in France and Italy and such places are supposed to have a more sophisticated attitude towards sex than the Puritans of North America. Sex was treated like some- thing that is here to stay in their films and, as a result, they were successful in drawing people on this side of the Atlantic, Holly- wood had been suffering ever since tele- vision came into common use and then they thought they saw the light. Now we have adult and restricted movies. We don't say that we are against this freedom of the silver screen. There have been some good movies made recently that we have enjoyed to the hilt. There have been .some duds, too. In few cases has the restriction of the censor meant too much. However, we can see that taking children to the show can have its problems but there is always Walt Disney to step into the breach. Someday there may be no censor- shib at all but we expect it will be a long time in the future. In the meantime, just because a movie is restricted to those 18 and over, it doesn't mean it is any good. Thank goodness the choice is still up to the individual. -(Fergus News Record). Television Views by William Whiting You can't say June is over- loaded with re -runs on televis- ion. Last Friday CTV and CBS ran General Eisenhower's re- turn to Normandy 20 years later. And, this month saw Carol Burnett's "Once Upon a Mattress". Coming will be the first of Meredith Wilson's "three specials" and others. Altogether, there are no few- er than 14 first -run specials slotted for the month. And, come to think of it ... July and August will not be heavy with re -runs either, due to the Republican and Democratic Na- tional Conventions and other specials the five networks have planned. * r ' We hear "The Flintstones" is' one of the leading TV programs in Japan. Donna Reed gets mail asking the name of her hair stylist. Well, get this girls: she does her own! * i ' Tuesdays this fall will be in- teresting on TV. ABC plan to run "Combat" at 7:30, followed by "McHale's e's Navy". Others are "Tycoon", "Peyton Place" and the "Fugitive". CBS will run "Red Skelton' at 8:30, fol- lowed by "Petticoat Junction" and "The Nurses". CBC will. run "Patty Duke" and "Danny Kaye". "Front Page" remains at 9:30. CTV has "It's Your Move" at 7:30, then the "Baileys of Balboa", "The Virginian" at 8:30, followed by "The Rogues". ONTARIO'S MARCH OF PROGRESS IS PORTRAYED IN HYDRO MURAL One of the first of its kind in Canada, this rustic mosaic mural, shown right nearing completion, has now been. installed (below) in Ontario Hydro's new western regional office, which will be officially opened' at London this year. Sharing the honors in the creationof this like dimension through the use of contrasting dull work are: (right picture), from left to right: and glossy materials in different textures, shapes Count Alex Von Svoboda, Art Director, J and thicknesses. Conn -Arts Studio, Toronto, who did the ., w.. mosaic; H. D. Voss, Hydro's Art Supervisor, holding his water colour, which served as "the pattern;" Ken H. Candy, the Commis- sion's architect, who provided the theme; and Don Ramsay, former Hydro consumer service engineer in the western region, who suggested the mural as London had been the home of the late Sir Adam Beck, the Commission's first Chairman. Occupying an entire 9 by 15 -foot reception area wall, it is studied (below) by Gordon McHenry, manager, Hydro's western region; and Dr. E. V. Buchanan, retired manager of the London P.U.C., and a former close associate of Sir Adam Beck. At the right is Miss Ethel Blair of the western region staff. The mural colorfully and symbolically por- trays the realization of the Beck dream of what low-cost power would mean to the progress of Ontario. Embodied in the work are 90,000 pieces of marble, glass and clay in 80 different color shades and in many sizes. This mural differ's from others in that the theme is expressed in a more earthy and life - ZURICH Citizens NEWS HERB TURKHEIM - Editor and Publisher PUBLISHED EVERTTHURSDAY MORNING at ZURICH, ONTARIO Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa and for the payment of postage in cash.

'ICE By Bill Smiley As the school year draws to- wards its close, I cant help looking back on the past 10 months, my first hitch as head of the English department in our factory, with a mingling of amazement and amusement. I am amazed that I have not gone down for the third time in a sea of paper. There were times when I rose to the sur- face ony long enough to gulp a breath of ink, before being swept under by another wave of essays, or hook .report forms, or memos. My amusement stemsfrom another source - the old-fash- ioned image of the English teacher. There lust ain't no such thing as a modern image of same. For many years the image of the English teacher was fairly concrete. It was that of a wispy, gentle spinster of either sex, wholly dedicated to the written word. The only person in town who actually read poetry, Some kind of a nut who actually be- lieved that Shakespeare was thrilling theatre, When I hold up that image beside the gallery of characters who taught English in my de- partment this year, I chortle. There isn't even the most re- mote resemblance. Let's see, now. There's Jack, a vast young man of great good nature and courtly manner, who is a dead ringer for Henry VIII on one of the Tatter's good days. He's a beer drinker, a col- lector of antiques and a former advertising salesman. There's Mac, a former golf pro. He's also an ex -bus driver, ex -house painter, ex -airman. He's an inveterate punster who writes some pretty funny stuff. As witness our production this year of his master -piece, "Julius Seize 'er", in which the princi- pal was Dr. Bladder from Gaul. There's Jeanette, five -foot - nothing, 98 pounds of doe -eyed French-Canadian, who spent the first six months trying to convince the other teach- ers she was not one of the stu- dents who can pin a six-foot 200 -pound lout into paralyzed, petrified panic with one flash of those eyes. There's Geoff, the young Eng- lishman who came here after a year of teaching in a good Eng- lish grammar school. He plan- ned to spend a year in Canada, as a lark. He was horrified at the free -and -easy attitude of our teen-agers. He was appalled at our materialism and love of comfort. Now he has a car on the never-never plan, and is beefing about his salary. In short, he's become a typical Ca- nadian. 'We also have a gal who grad- uated in music, a former ambu- luance driver an ex -chartered accountant, a dream -shattered social worker, and a lady who got sick of housekeeping. * * Not only do these birds not fit the old image of the English teacher; they don't fit the new one, either. There's not a beard in the bunch, an esthete in the ensemble, a pansy in the patch. And not one, thank goodness, is "dedicated" to the teaching of English. None shivers in ecstasy over a sonnet, bursts into tears over the beauty of an. ode. But I daresay my polyglot, hardworking creaw has taught the kids more about English and about life than many an old gal whose idea of heaven was to make a journey to England. and stand in reverence before the graves of the poets.

Canadian social worker Doris Clark invites you to write her about your problem. She answers letters of general interest.in this column but can't undertake personal replies. DEAR DORIS-I recently be- came engaged to a wonderful boy. He gives me everything I want but I am too spoiled, We fight over the silliest things, and 1 finally learned my lesson the hard way. You see, we had a fight and I took off my ring and dropped it in the car window and now it is gone and we cannot find it. My boy friend didn't get mad or anything. I started crying and he just pampered me and said he would get me another one. I will never be able to for- give myself for losing my ring. I cannot take another ring. How can I make up for my first ring? Should I pay for it? 'UNHAPPY DEAR UNHAPPY -Can you call a halt on being in love with yourself and start showing you are in love with him? Your indulgent Iover is not the type to help you mature. so your happiness depends on your own self-discipline. Save up and replace the ring for a start. DEAR DORIS-My husband comes home and eats his meal without speaking. He listens more to his sister than to me. He doesn't even notice me at all. He doesn't want the chil- dren to play with him.
