(Chuckles) In the Odeon Hyland theatre on last Saturday morning an au- dience of children watched two films specially made for young persons between the ages of eight and twelve. Their parents were there also and watched the children’s reactions. Mary Field, distinguished film director' and Chairman of International Films for Children (UNESCO) was present and informally discussed them with the adults afterwards. This meeting was arranged by a committee comprised of inter- ested people from the Toronto Film Society, the film industry, the Ontario Department of Edu- cation, the Ontario Federation of Home & School Associations, etc. Mr. N. Roy Clifton of the Rich- mond Hill High School is a mem- ber of this committee, whose in- tention is to form a Canadian centre of films for children. The money to bring Miss Field from England was contributed by six- ty different organizations in Can- ada. All persons involved are concerned with the large amount of time children spend in watch- ing moving pictures and the pos- sible lasting effects of too many poor ones. NEWMARKET â€" An addition to York County's Memorial Hospital would cost over $4, million it is reported. It might be better to build a new hospital in another section of the County instead, the board of directors debated. Reeve & Council On Spot Reeve Perry said as much, “This is a difficult: year and we have had many heavy problems. This was one of them. This council’s term expires this year. We can- not commit ourselves. There can be no further vote on this issue for three years,” he pointed out. Miss Field’s purpose in making films for child audiences is to produce entertainment which is within the scope of their under- standing and will enlarge their experience. Just as a child's taste for good books, pictures and mus- ic is developed by giving him material suited to his age md development, so she believes children can be trained in ap- preciation of film. She also be- lieves that good entertainment is this year’s tax bill as a separate item. Submitting a compromise he promised he would see the re- quest of the delegation was filed in council records in such a man- ner that it would automatically be brought up before any future council dealing with a request tor a further plebiscite. Tax Bills Printed Reeve John Perry aid council were thus put on a very uncom- fortable spot. This is election year and they would naturally like to please all sides.

'l‘herc.L fore she shows good family re- lationships, and fairness in fight- ing, she avoids slang and poor grammar, she wants moral val- ues to be clear cut. She remarked that too many television shows were rather "grey" in presenting moral values. Miss Field has found out many things by watching children's re- actions to movies. This is done by a concealed infra-red camera. They like color. but not too bright; they don't like a com- plicated plot: they want charac- ters to be simple and consistent; they don’t like dark scenes but they do like moving camera shots. Television has made them tired of animals as heroes but they do like them when they ap- pear naturally. Children like excitement and need their emotions purged, but Miss Field is encouraging a move from the "chase" to “achieve- ment.” In the longer film seen on Saturday both were skillfully interwoven. Two rival gangs of boys build cars to enter in a soap-box derby. The building of the car by the “good” boys and the winning of .the race provide a sense of achievement. The unlaw- ful tactics of the “bad” gang to do away with the car belonging to the “good” boys, provide the chase. gl\\\\\\\ll\\\\l“ll\\\l\\\\\\\“\\\\\\lll““MMl“ll“mum“ll“mummm“|\I1\\l\l“lllllll\\\l\“I\l“\l\lllll“l“l\ll\llllm“!l“ll“lll\\\lll\l\ll\lllll\lll\l}§ finnumnmummIuunmmmnnmumummmmm1uummunnmmwmmnmummxmumnnumummmmlunuml\umunummumlfi Registration Forms are available at the Princi- pal’s Office in each school.
