fehe HERALD Home Newspaper of Hills JULY 1B7S A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 103 Main St South Georgetown L7G3ES Ontario WILLIAM EVDOKIMOFF Publisher BILL JOHNSTON Editor PHONE Second Clan Mill Registered Number We cant wait too long Now thats thinking Instead of immediately trying to buy our way out of a predicament lets pause for a moment or two and come up with a better solution Our congratulations to Councillor Ern Hyde for Ms recommendation to council that perhaps the way to solve Immediate and longterm facility problems for our ambulance service and fire and works departments might be to find the best existing sites for them a long step away from previous thoughts of where theres a need lets If you want to talk about empires being built in Halton Hills consider the amount of property the municipality now rules over libraries offices fire stations parks arenas swimming pools etc Were not saying that Councillor Hydes solution to the current facility shortageshifting the amublance service to the Tire departments Georgetown building and the fire department to the works depart ments Maple Avenue siteis the right The fire deoartment will no doubt have to closely examine the Maple Avenue site from the point of view of its accessibility to all parts of town Its commendable however to see that council Is continuing its efforts to look for alternatives to paying out tax dollars for things that are not altogether necessary Thats how Halton Hills keeps its mill rate down Burlington and Milton The only fault that we can see In councils decision to OMB ap proval for funds to carry out a major study of the towns future faculty requirements and the possible alternatives is that the Georgetown Volunteer Ambulance Service is going to be left out lit the of its growth plans based on the assumption that its addition would roll smoothly through council They had bargained on having that extra room ana rightfully so Until Monday night they had not had any indication from the town that their addition plans were going to be disrupted in any way Now they find out that their plans may be delayed indefinitely Council going to have to come to some sort of understanding with the ambulance service Immediately Perhaps another location might be provided by the town while the much broader study is carried out We hope that a peaceful arrangement can be arrived at Jaws too violent for children In the midst of all this about the latest disaster film Jaws I would like to toss in a war ning Having seen the thing last week in Brampton I can only say that while Its an interesting and well made movie it alio happens to be one of the goriest youre likely to see for many a moon Dismembered body parts blood by the barrel full literally all tends to make the movie a bit too much for this critic to sit by and hear it ap plauded Of all the reviews I have read or heard including that amazing bit eightpage spread of free publicity in Time magazine I have not heard one word of criticism levelled at the blood and gore that Years Ago predominates throughout the movie Could that be the same Gilmour who went to great extremes to warn his readers of the revolting scenes in the Exorcist who Is now giving Jaws a recommendation for its technical merits Albeit that recommendation is very much deserved The movie Is great in almost all aspects pace story acting even down to the music Theres even a fair bit of well placed humor in there to relieve the tension after all its hard sitting on the edge of your seat for two hours But I object to the fact that the movie audience is totally unprepared for the ultraviolent plot Particularly in light of the fact that it Is rated by our nonsensical film review board better known as our movie censors to be PG That means that any kid by Bill Johnston regardless of whether his parents have guided him or not can plunk down his money and go in to that theatre About the only sign of a warning about the content of the movie is a small notice posted In the theatre ads and in the commercials plugging the movie that it may be too Intense for younger children Too Intense That film is downright mind bending No child who is In an impressionable state of developmentmentallyis going to leave that theatre without some sort of deep down feeling of ill ease It upsets me to think that a movie with that strong a message of violence death and gore should be Merchants dont want Thursdays INTO THE PAST Five year Ago Gray Mounitsven and hie week Senior Public School Hamilton Middle row

produced Straw Dogs a film that was called by many ultraviolent Certainly people were killed maimed and mutilated in that movie but to use a corny saying considering the sub ject violence was much more tasteful and subverted than the pointblank rip the victim tq shreds violence in Jaws Then there was the Exorcist complete with St John Ambulance crews la the lobby Where In that entire admittedly gruesome film was there a scene which a man was seen being eaten by anything much less a 23 foot shark Now thats shocking No I cant add my endorsatlon to the talk that Jaws is one of the best movies of all time As I said Its well done but its not for everyone And that should be made perfectly clear Viewpoint Yoo Over here By Geiry Well dear readers there are two things aside from death and taxes that I have always counted on One was the Pope not announcing bis engagement and the other the the dear lady columnist Ann Lan ders who has spent her whole Ufa advising others would always remain happily married forever and ever Juat lute In the movies Imagine how I fait upon hearing the that Ann Landers getting a divorce It shakes your faith in humanity I keep saying to myself over and over not Ann Landers Did you ever have the feeling that If Ann Landers couldnt make It after years of wedded what chance baa the rest of the world Thoroughly by thla shocking news I decided to go oat and meditate the situation by my new pool Now the pool Itself Is still a touchy subject with me angry with the photographer has a photographer Well read on and you will bear the whole dismal story I bough t the pool supposedly for my tight- yearold daughter Leigh It Is a steelwall pool with a picture on the box of a father up put bis waist a baby on a raft a boy doing the crawl and a girl treading

neighbours and proceeded to unpack my new toyfar my daughter of course As I was setting up my vision of pooltide bliss I became painfully aware that someuung wasnt quite kosher It became I would have to return the baby and the dinghy We couldnt all fit I stared at the picture on be box and became convinced that the baby in the pic ture really a midget floating on a bolder They were all mldgatst The father midget was sitting on his legs In order to be The whole picture was a piece of deceptive photography from beginning to end Being typically female I hadnt botherQ to read the dimensions on
