MOVIE RATINGS "Dear Editor.- "I would suggest the parents of the community exercise caution- in regard to the new ratings given motion pictures by the newly formed National Council of review. "The movie presently being ' shown at the local theatre, "The Impossible Years", is of questionable moral value to the developing minds of the "teejiie-bopper" set and yet it has a "G" (general audiences) rating. "It looks like we parents will have to continue to refer to the various magazines and newspapers that give movie reviews in order to form an opinion on whether a particular movie is really worth exposing our children to. "Sincerely, "Phyllis Bauer "3312 W. Fairway Drive" FRi; FEB. 14, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG, 15 MINOR CRASHES INVESTIGATED BY CITY POLICE In a minor accident investigated by city police, Rochelle S.
