2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed. May 25, 1983 If You Love This Planet shown at library Nobody wins at nuclear war by Cathy Robb If nuclear war erupted in this area tomorrow afternoon, would you survive? Deep down, the answer left is numbness and the realization that nobody wins a nuclear war. "My logical reaction would be to run away from an explosion but Is probably yes. after seeing this (the Somehow, despite movie), I think I'd be everything you've ever petter of running heard about the effects of nuclear war, you have this innate knowledge headlong into the thing," was the reaction of one woman after seeing "If that you could walk away you Love This Planet" from it all. last Tuesday night at Maybe you'd be the gcugog Memorial last person on earth. Library. . Wouldn't that be ex- citing? Sort of like all those science fiction books you've read and dreamed about. The most important thing that can be said about the film "If You Love This Planet" is that it makes you fully aware that you could never walk away unscathed from a nuclear attack. Piece by piece, the movie strips away every preconceived notion of survival until all that's ALLTYPES "ALL MAKES PHILIPS UIUC) STEREOSAHIFIS 723-5341 214BLOOR ST £ Sevag Port Perry 8 Aed bor 1h past 13 years PARKSIDE £111:{{e} 'I'd rather be dea than live through that" another man said. The movie focuses on a speech made by an Australian doctor, Helen Caldicott, to a group of California university students. Film clips graphically describe what she is talking about throughout the 25 minute documentary - it is the combination of her im- passioned plea for a stop to the arms race and the often grisly clips of the victims of Hiroshima that makes the film a shocker. Although the American government has done everything but label the movie pro- paganda and has made it extremely difficult for United States citizens to see the film, "If You Love This Planet" was ECONO PAK MEAL EVERY FRI.

Although .much of the publicity surrounding the production is of the notorious kind, it has been receiving much at- tention worldwide - not bad for a Canadian film. Still, it wasn't a big enough drawing card to attract more than 20 peo- ple to the special Academy Awards film night at the library. Neither was the short animated film which was shown before it. Crac, a delightful story about a rocking chair, that is passed down from fami- ly to family and winds up as part of an art collec- tion, is also a Canadian production made in Mon- time and approximately that number went to the second. Library employees were disappointed, to say the least. Two first-rate films were offered to the town, free of charge, and the number of empty treal.

LEA NEIGHBOUR A BRIEF LOOK AT SOME OF THE NEWS THAT IS MAKING HEADLINES IN OUR NEIGHBOURING COMMUNITIES. SUNDERLAND - After a neighbour reported renovations were made in a single family dwelling without the propert permits, council has been forced to take action. Bert Stiphout and Hubertha Vanderligt converted their home into a multiple-person dwelling to try and make ends meet. The two pleaded with council last week to give them an extension of the May 31 deadline to get their tenants out of the house. Council sympathised with the cou- ple, but said they had no choice but to uphold: the township by-laws. Vanderligt said she does not have enough money to ask for a re-zoning. BOWMANVILLE - A man has been charg- ed with dangerous driving and driving while his licence was suspended after an incident last week. Nick Popovics and his two companions had to swim to shore after their car plunged 30 feet out into Lake Ontario, sinking in about twelve feet of water. All three men escaped in- jury, but were forced to swim to shore. UXBRIDGE - The editor of the Uxbridge * Times Journal was fined $10,695 Monday last week for evading over $14,000 in personal in- come taxes. Harry Stemp, co-owner of the Ux- bridge Printing Company Ltd. had failed to report $42,495 income he received in "kickbacks" from Terry Wetmore, the former. advertising manager of Simpsons-Sears in Oshawa. Stemp, who pleaded guilty, was ordered to the pay the fine in three equal in- stalments over a nine-month period. He must also pay the federal government the $14,265 he owes in taxes. UXBRIDGE - Arena users face stiff in- creases in rental for the facility beginning soon. Hardest hit are groups using the arena for dances, concerts, etc. The present average cost. is about $350 per night, but under the new schedule the groups will have to pay $1 per per- son as per the LCBO licence. This means that rental for an evening could be as high as $1285.00. The community hall rental goes from about $350 to $600 per evening, and ice users are having the prime time fees raised from $36 per hour to $60 per hour. at IMMACULATE CONCEPTION HALL SAT., MAY 28th 8P.M.to1 AM.
