Tacking a PG rating at the bottom of a full page newspaper ad is not enough. It's getting to the point with modern movies, that taking the kids out to see one 1s a bit like shooting dice.

Similarly, Judy Jensen wrote in to say, 'Fair Queen Competitions ARE sexist, and one might take the view that if one is content to be treated in this fashion over som. thing unimpor- tant, then one must also be prepared to be treated the same way about the important aspects of life." When the letters hit the street, in late May and early June, the contest plans began to crumble. Organizers had secured promises from several local merchants for prizes and financial sup- port, but when they read the letters, many store owners began to question whether or not suppor- ting the contest was such a wise idea.

A few girls who weren't bothered by the sexist angle were con- cerned about the com- mitments associated with being a fair queen. Winning the contest would automatically mean entering the 1986 Canadian National Ex- hibition pageant, and representing the Port Perry Fair as a goodwill ambassador at functions throughout the area. Mrs. Johnson said many would-be con- testants just wouldn't have enough time for the new responsibilities. "They've got enough on their plates already," she said. 'There's just too much to do in this day and age." Contestants were to be interviewed and judged this Thursday July 11th, to kick off 1985's Festival Days.
