as Lels Hear THe Picture It is lime sonleonetold the younger mem bers rt local cinema audiences that whua paynient at admission gives the right to see and hear the program screened it does not give the ticket holder the privilege at spoil ing the enjoyment of the progrlun ior others One evening we wenh to see film in Iwhich the dialogue played an important partln the enjoyment oi the show We are not hard oi hearing nor do we think the management had reduced the volume of sound but it was practically impossible to hear pilrts oi the dialogue The reason was that groups oi teenagers in various parts at the house were busy carrying on private conversations of their ownand in many cases their volume oi sound was not subdued in any way Possibly the picture did not appeal to wlth the best baaids in the worldend they would give good account oi themselves But much more important than the competition is the opportunity this aiiords the young people at learnin how other peoi pls livelearning llttlslbout Europe ilrst land This is or eourureciprocal ior manyovcr mnurope wouldam have an opportunity at getting to know group oi young Canadian irom the growing town oi Barrie True it would be only small number oi the total high school students say about forty who would have this chance But low is better than none at all When they return they canItnll the others oi what they have seenand perhaps dispel some of the iancliul impressions some or us have oi ior elgn lands 1818 trip would cost something but then isnt this the sort oi things the whole town should get behind many oi the audience but that is no reason inions of owners to spoil the enjoyment oi others who have also paid to see the film in fact we can think oi many places better fitted for tote atetc talks or vital discussions than the cinema not us not be misunderstood We thlnlr the teenagers and young people oi this town era finerbunch It is just that someone has not told them about the iittlcmntter oi consideration ior othersat least where the cinema is concerned And we would venture to say that the management is not altogether above re proach in this matter There must be some way they could instil into their young and ience that the fact thatthey have phid to come in does not give them the irce run or the cinema That others too with diiier cnt likes and dislikes have also paid to sec the show and are entitled to freedom from the aggravation of kicks in the back oi the seat and never ending buzz oi conversa tion around them Misplaced Good Deed The Barrie Chamber oi Commerce had better give second thought to their com mendable plan oihdpingqutgtoi$townv151 itors who get ensnarcd by tiresome meters The Chambers has hecnencouraging its members to drop into the meter the nec essary coin and leave card telling the vis itor that he has been saved ticket thanks to the kindness of Barrie merchant Now in Toronto clergyman who has been doing the same thingonly in his case the card invited the person helped to come and visit the clergynians church has been severely rebuked for his action by Toronto Police The police say that in placing coin in an expired meter ior the benefitoi lazy or iorgotiul motorist the clergyman is aid ing and abetting in the breaking 01 meter regulations That is sinful Worse it is crime and he muststop doing it Strictly sticking to the letter or theiaw the police possibly have point But this particular law is avery modern manmade law and it is not beyond the realms of possi bility that the severe loss or revenue from tickets issued was the motiva power or the rebuke and not any idealistic thoughts about legal principles To misquote Dickensthe law is an ass Wonderful Opportunity There has been strong rumor going around that the Barrie Collegiate Band has been invited to attend Worlds band test ival in Europe next year No one will deny this outright and so jar no one has otiicioily coniirmed the roots This is one rumor we would like to ace come true What wonderiul opportunity it would be ior group oiour young people to see something oi part of the world with which we are inextricably involved It is probable that some will question whether student band an amateur band can possibly be or the standard to merit entry in competition as important as this particular one We arcsure that the ability oi Barrie Collegiate band
