‘TO THE EDITOR

Editor, Herald,

Last week, the theatre in town
had a show called “‘A Patch of
Blue.” This show could have been
-enjoyed by many adults had they

been able to see and hear it al,
“lInstead, all we heard was kids
—who by rights should be looked
after by. their parents — making.

complete ‘asses: of themselves,
People go to shows to enjoy
themselves and shouldn’t expect
to put up with ruffians who have
respect neither for. others. or
public property,

Peeve been to Many theatres and
have never come.across one as
noisy as the one Terrace has, In
one theatre to keep the kids auiet
and in-line,:they had ushers sit
through the show ever 5 to’ 8
rows. This kept the kids quiet
and in-line: and also enabled
the adults ‘to enjoy the show
they came to see. Ifthekids didn’t
behave; they gave themtwo warn
ings amd the thirdtime they booted
them. . out, “without _Tefunding
their money. ©

Where‘are the parents? brains
to allow these kids to behave in
public like this?. Is this how they
were brougtt up at home?

Politics: prominent 7
Government appointments -

‘Patronage, in “ genéral. ‘and

modern terms, ° ‘relates: ‘to-that

system whereby a person maybe
appointed by governmenttoa cer.
tain office or position on the basis

abilities,

It sometimes. happens that the
political beliefs ‘and the’ abili.
ties go hand in hand,
words some people who are
‘ appointed because of their. politi.
cal bellefs are also capable,

However, ’ political patronage
‘seems’ to go along with, govern-
ments of all political stripes and,
in certain circumstances, I sup.
port the concept of appointing peo-
ple on the basis of their politics.

For instance a Cabinet Mini.
