chinge-hi the Theatres Act
tntrodneed by the Minister of
rOnsUiner and. Commercial Reli-
4Akins, Sidney Randleman this week
ii!ilt.:toeiirtit sex films shown on
videle:v*0e or 8 millimetre film to
me ,under the eye of Ontario
ie &Ors.
The move closes the loophole in
ithe Act that allows theatres, •mostly
x in Toronto to show uncensored
;`films. The film censors, will also
have control over the 25c "peep
show" machines:
Mr. Handleman considered an-
other amendment he introduced to
be important as well. It allows the
Province to require film distribut-
ors , to make Canadian films
available and to set a quota "on a
monthly or yearly basis".
The Canadian quota provision
replaces a similar clause' that
allowed Ontario to demand a
certain proportion of British films.
That provision . was never used
according to .Mr. .1Handleman, and
it will be some time before the
Government is ready to require
film exhibitors to show Canadian
films. •
Bill 100, an Act respecting the
negotiation of Collective Agree-
ments between School Boards and
Teachers, commonly referred to, as
the Teachers' Bill, received second
reading this week.
The Bill permits teachers to
strike, but provides for a' nuinbet, of-
innovative and new conceptS in the
collective bargaining process.
Generally, the bill's provisions
dealing with the fact finding
procedures, final offer selection,
the Education Relations Commis-
sion, the deadline for starting
negotiations; the good faith bar-
gaining and secret ballot prior to
strikes have met with favourable
reaction.
There has been widespread
opposition to Section 64 of the, Bill
which. excludes ,principali and vice
principals from the collective
bargaining unit, hence they would
.not be allowed to strike, on the
basis that this would'drive a wedge
hetweenprincipals and their teach-
ers and create an impossible
situation for principals in the event
of a strike. -
The other contentious issue has
to do with Ooluntary or extra
curricula activities. The Bill would
place the activities as contractural
or negotiable items, but the
teachers want them to remain as a
voluntary part of their work.

Lig Friday morning, nineteen '
Lucknow Canadian Girls in Train-
ing, two leaders and two Wingham
C.G.I.T. girls, with their multitude
of camping, gear, left on a bus
which came' from Owen Sound with
-girls from Owen , Sound and
Desboro. Their destination was '
Landon • Bay Vacation cenire near
Gananoque for the C.G.I.T. 60th
anniversary Jamboree. 'About
twelve hundred C.G.I.T. girls and
leaders attended:
After six and a half hour ride
including a lunch stop, the group
arrived and was directed to camp
sites. The Lucknow one turned out
to' be furthest away from head-
quarters, the store, pool, campfire
hill and, the showers.
Soon six tents were pitched and
Agricultural
Tidbits
With Adrian Vos
One wonders what it, takes to
convince some well educated
people that there arc only one
hundred cents in a dollai. They
say: "It's only a cent." and they
go on spending .one cent after
another. Only when they are down
to the last two-bits they begin to
wonder where' the dollar went.
Ontario's Environment Ministry
does our spending that way. When
confronted with protests over
sewage lagoons, which are at least
one hundred acres each, they
stated that a hundred acres is '
insignificant compared with what
agricultural land is left. There is' a,
difference with the people who are
spending that dollar. • When .
agricultural • land is down to
"two-bits", it will be a different
minister to count the pennies.

Some people are concerned
about the introduction ofThe metric
system. Don't be afraid. When
you need •a four inch nail, you'll still
ask the store for a four inch nail. 'It
will be IQ centimeter long, but for
you it is still a four inch nail. You •
need*some two by fours? They'll
still be the same size and the same
name. Remember they aren't two
by four now either. Instead of a
gallon you get four litres. The litre
is close enough to the quart that in
the majority of cases you say litre
and mean, quart. A yard is close to
the metre. Length measurements
will be one of the easiest to adjust
to because of its similiarity to the
dollar system. 2.25 'metre is much
like $2.25. The opposition comes
mainly from people who are afraid
of change, afraid of something new
and are often older people. I
haven't heard opposition from
younger people because younger
people are more ready to accept
something new.

Grain stocks here and in the
buying countries are low. Yet the
buyers are slow in their purchases
and are taking a gamble that prices
will be low and crops good. This of
course keeps prices down. If the
crops are not good however, their
gamble may be a costly one. The
Russians apparently won't take
that gamble and their trade
missions are in the U.S. right now
for negotiations with grain dealers.
If they make big deals the• price will
increase too, and the reluctant
gamblers will have lost.
the first camp meal was cooking.
The girls tnok turns preparing
meals for twenty-three tinder 'the
supervision of chief meal planner
Elizabeth Ritchie.
During the week end the group,
along with other C.G.I.T. groups,
went on the Thousand Island
Cruise and toured Old Fort Henry
or Upper Canada Village. .tctivites
at the campsite included crafts, an
excellent nature trail, swimming,
games, campfires and visiting with
other girls.
Saturday evening "The Vision-
aires" from Grenfell Christian
College, entertained and the even-
ing concluded 'with each person
lighting a candle on her cake and
the singing of Happy Birthday to
C.G.I.T. and Taps. Sunday
