My sister and I took her daughter a few weeks ago. Although the movie wasn't intended just for kids, they packed the place anyway. I think' half the town's population was under fourteen years of age, and most of them were crammed Into the little theatre. My sister and I counted three• adults besides ourselves. They probably felt as ancient as we did. • Can you imagine watching a movie with sixty-five popcorn chewing, pop ..can rattling, bickering kids? I don't quite understand why they paid .50 to get in, because they. sure didn't coin to see the show. Instead they gossipe and argued, sometimes con- versing ov two or more rows of seats. An almo steady stream of traffic in the aisles prov d the candy and pop booth did a lut of business. Fortunately, we chose seats in the centre and no one had to crawl lover us to teach the aisles. Chatter and passing feet weren't the only noises, though. We discovered ,Coke cups make, a delightful pop' if squashed properly with the foot. These young movie-goers had the trick almost down pat. The movie's , serious scenes were livened with loud pops, and the jokes were punctuated in the same way. Occasionally, however, the Tops occurred prematurely and obliterated the punch line. Someone behind' us brought pop cans. As each can was emptied, it was rolled under the sears toward the front. When its Momentum sloWed, a foot nudged it on its rattling way, again. ,The chocolate bar wrappers and pop corn cartons were also trod 'underfoot along with dozens of straws and some pieces of pop corn. The janitor certainly earned his Odds n' Ends by Elaine Townshend kids at the Theatre Incoming officers money that night:'Another busy man was the usher, who made several trips down the aisles ordering feet off the backs of the seats. , To be appropriate, "The End" should have been changed, to "Now Run." Its appear, ce on ,the,•,Screen signalled a stamp, for the doors. Meanwhile we waiied , our seats where we felt safe. When we straggled out, a crowd of mostly adults was waiting for the 'second Show. They were lined up to the corner. Instead of following the sidewalk around the corner, the line continued into the middle of the street - 'a strange arrange- ment, especially from a group of mature adults. They suffered through a long, cold wait, but at least they heard the movie when they got in. We left feeling we had missed some important parts. The show was a comedy, I think; at least it brought a few waves of laughter from the young crowd. I may see it again, but I certainly won't go to - an early show, on a Friday night. - Before I'm labelled a patronizing adult, I must mention the little girl in front of us, who hushed her companions several times. She cautioned them that the people behind couldn't hear, but' they paid little attention. Many of the kids probably behaved themselves;. unfortunately, they were overshadowed by the.pnes who didn't. The reason my sister and' I were shocked, 1 suppose, was that in our,day the children were shy, quiet and well- mannered." She and I viere alWays such good kids - well, almost always.

P.P. (London North) questioned the • • Treasurer's projected budgetary expenditure increase of 11.7%Z, because the Government has made a paractice of underestimating its expenditures, and pointed • -out that, in any event, - keeping expenditures to this level was hardly a major achievement in view of the fact that Quebec's increase in expenditures is only 11.0% and Nova Scotia's, is only 11.3%. Mr, Shore underlined the fact , that, although the p-rovincial.- deficit had been redUced, it was still, at one and a quarter billion dollars, the second highest deficit in Ontario history, and he questioned the. Government's reliance on possibly over-esti- mated projected exports to underWrite the Treasurer's forecasts for revenue and employ- ment figures.' The Treasurer claimed in the Budget Statement that he is providing stronget incentives to Ontario'sm busineSs companies. Hsowaellver, he has done little more than eliminate some of the burdensome paper work involved in the Govern- ment's tax credit scheme. • "The number of companies to bdnefit has,,ipere.ased to 50,000 from 20,900, ifs tfue„b tit by reducing the tax rate from 12% to 9%, the Treasurer is not providing one extra pennyto small businessmen in Ontario. He adMits himself that the $30 million cost of this reduction is identical to the cost of the tax credit scheme which it replaces. The net result is that a larger number of businesses must "divide the same size pie into smaller pieces. In addition, the small premiums pay businessinan will be forced to increasedthanksto OHIP the Treasurer. Mr. Shore referred to the need to evolve some better approach to provincial-municipal relations if we are to expect"municipalities to be reasonably autonomous and to reasonably autonomous and to plan intelligently, and• expressed the opinion that the Provincial Government and the municipalities should establish 'budgets on a multi-year basis, rather than basing their calculation's on a 12-morith-period, which would be more effic lent, and enable mdnicipalities to establish priorities and make long-range plans. Both Opposition Party Leaders questioned • the acting, Health Minister on differences between letters written by her to the four, hospitals which' had appealed, the government decision to close' them down, and a statement made be Premier in the. Legislature. With respect to the Clinton Public HoSpital. the Premier stated that the hospital will close as an' acute treatment facility on the 1st of•June. He• said in rcOgnitign of the specific local concerns made clear. durhag the appeal prodedure, Clinton Public. Hospital will be allowed to maintain the status of an ambulatory primary care facility after the 1st of June, ,with X-raY, lab, minor surgical capacity, along with physician offices on the premises, • The letter received from the Acting Minister of Health stated that the staff must receive termination notices, they must stop admitting patients as of May 1st and the hospital must close as of June 1st, 1976,-and it stated that a plan"fot, providing additional ambulance service is being developed to satisfy the changed requirements of the community. Also that the Ministry of Health staff would be available at request to assist in developing health care services in the community using' existing buildings to . some extent, if appropriate. I questioned the Acting Minister of Health as to whether the use of the dialysis unit will be allowed to continue, as it 'is the only one other than that located in London. The reply was th‘ii it is hoped that they be able to develop an out-patient dialysis capability. I further questioned the acting Minister of Health about the contradiction between/ her letter and the Premier's statement to which the acting Minister replied, that there was no contradiction, none whatever. Mr. Stephen Lewis, Leader of the Official Opposition; said that all of the so-called consultations over the last several months entered into in good faith by the hospitals, were in fact a determined charade • by the government, doomed to failure in advance.
