I have witnessed, as I feel certain, have many, many others, swarms of dependent children continuously climbing upon chairs and running wildly throughout the movie area.

Frequently I have heard boys and girls, both pre-teen and teen-age, using foul language. This type of conduct is not restricted entirely to dependents by any means; however it ap- pears that the majority of the adult civilian and military personnel who attend this recrea- tional activity dre more interested in watching and listening to the attraction on the screen than in exhibiting themselves as immature, foul-mouthed, and very poorly reared individuals.
