of 38 years of ublic assistance We hope you will print our letter to help ucate the damn fOols who think being on welfare is some kind of picnic We are sick of being thought of as bunch of lazy chisellers who are having ball at the taxpayers expense Not one of us would be on welfare if there was decent alter dative Its the last resort this side of begging on the street staying with some creep for the sake of meal ticket or com initting suicide Its bad enough to be on welfare but getting OFF is even wor se When we do find work our food stamps medical insurance and other benefits are

The National Ba lets Romeo and Juliet however was the real tribute to Celia Francas dedication and genius The performance with new costumes following the 1972 fire was particularly ex pressrve one The important scenes were exciting and effective enou for anyone in the audience opulence of the Capulets in the ball scene was underlined by the hauteur of the dancers Franca herself almost stole the scene yet could anyone resist the demure and girlish Juliet Veronica Tennant has been remarkable Juliet for some time Nevertheless her emo tional growth from her youthful innocence has never been more expressive It was Juliet to watch and Juliet to re member Frank Au tyn seemed to have some slight problems but he conveyed the appropriate dash and youthfulness of son of the house of Montague In deed hetoo produced some un ttaole moments Festival scene was most ebullient one The Car nival atmosphere had the humor and energy needed without undue exaggeration The duel between Ty It and Romeo created the tense at mosphere one ex ts but here it was Prokofief music that took over Throughout the ballet one was aware of the ex cellent suitability of the score But most particularl the duel scene was pinnace of total coordination of dance choreogra by to musical score It was music too that enhanced the dramatic dancing of the final scene in the tomb and the tragic rocession that preceded it pathos the youthful frustration the utter sadness was all there and transmitted with beauty to the totally enthralled audience The Romeo and Juliet ballet was indeed the finest tribute of all to Celia France and to her dancers of 25 years Canada has now Company international in reputation which will un dobtedly scale artistic heights in the years to come for City history displayed in exhibit at library
