The two factors of relaxing and being in natural surroun- dings made up 59 percent of the reasons given for camping, in a study by Richard F. Masse and Dr. Pel@W W. Fletcher, of the School of Forest Resources at Penn State. The survey analyzed social and economic characteristics of 600 campers in three private and three public campgrounds in the Pine Creek Watershed of Tioga, Lycoming, Clinton and Potter counties. The average camping party spokesman in the Pine Creek Watershed was found to be 39 years old, married, and had nearly 9 years of camping experience. At the time of the study, the summer of 1971, the head of the average camping party had an annual income of $9,300. His average expenditure for camping equipment was $513. He spent four nights in a campground and his party con- sisted of four people, two adults and two children. ers, and travel trailers collec accounted for 81 percent ®f the shelter equip- ment used. These three types of equipment were almost equal in popularity. While $513 was the average cost of camping equipment, 51 percent of the campers reported investments over $1,000. The study was made as a result of the increasing demand for camping facilities. For example, total attendance at Pennsylvania state parks in- creased from 22 million people in 1966 to 27 million in 1970. Camp managers and land owners expect even greater population, mobility, leisure time, and income as related to economic growth, Mr. Masse and Dr. Fletcher pointed out.

Denmon Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mager Jr., Mr. and Mrs. David Sawicki, Mr. and Cinema Scopes by Carl Bellante Melvin Frank’s A Touch of Class is clearly an instance of two pros taking a meagre pre- mise—the old Hepburn-Tracy liberated woman versus male chauvinist pig confrontation, updated so that those terms really do apply—and running with it. The movie would be no- thing without George Segal and Glenda Jackson, and, occas- ionally, it struggles even with them, belaboring tiresome gags about walking up and down ho- tel steps, laden with luggage. The movie is all the more irri- tating in these moments which are obviously intended to hail you back to the grand old days of comedy, but which weren't even particularly comic then, because otherwise it’s refresh- ingly funny. Segal and Jackson play off one another so beautifully that when the time comes for them to break up (he’s married with a wife and offspring), the movie feels like it’s cheating you, al- though it’s really true to its con- tention that Segal’s a chauvinist establishment lackey. In a way, Segal and Jackson work against the ideological restrictions of the script. He's too likable to be dumb enough to let Glenda slip away, and she’s too strong for Segal’s gorgeous, simpy wife to compete; their characters are trapped not by the indefinite, changeable morality of life, but by the stylized conventions of a genre, which is excusable, I suppose, since the movie aims for no more than that. If you had any doubts about Glenda Jack- son’s ability to play anything, A Touch of Class should put your mind to rest. George Segal is seen to better effect in a super- ior film, Blume in Love, but until that arrives, savor him in this. When was the last time two immensely attractive people made you laugh? A Touch of Class is at the Strand. Now that Liv Ullmann is ap- pearing in American movies, the assumption in Hollywood is that this marks a step up in her career from the ‘‘obscure,”’ un appreciated apprentice work she did in Swedish films such as Jan Troell’s The Emigrants, or Ingmar Bergman's Persona, The Passion of Anna, Shame (which are, coincidentally, also some of the greatest movies ever made). Merv Griffin had the gall to ask her, at the pre- miere of Lost Horizon, if it weren’t perhaps the best movie she’s thus far appeared in; he meant ‘‘most expensive,” but, in Merv’s defense, ‘‘quality” and ‘‘expense”’ are still two mysteriously interchangeable terms in Hollywood. The rela- tive box office failures of Lost Horizon, and Liv’s latest film, Forty Carats, will doubtless be attributed to Miss Ullmann’s deficient star power; unfortu- nately, in movies as bad as these, Liv Ullman really isn’t a star, but merely a trouper fight- ing for her dignity, a waste for which all the American dollars in the world couldn’t compen- sate. Other Bergman stars like Bibi Anderson (The Kremlin Letter) and Max Von Sydow (Hawaii, The Quiller Memoran- dum) have tried to make the Hollywood transition, but none has fared so badly as Liv Ull- mann, despite the fact that she is arguably the finest actress presently working in films. The squander of her talent in her last three American films is harrowing; I pray it’s all she can stand. Forty Carats. which has been playing at the Center in Scran- ton, is a prehistoric number about the older woman who falls in love with a younger man. The catch in this one is that she ac- tually runs off and marries him. An indication of how far we've traveled is that this was actual- ly considered daring stuff a few years ago on Broadway. Physi- cally, he’s 18 years her junior (40 minus 22), but mentally he’s 20 years her senior (so that when she’s 50, and he’s 32, he’ll really be seventy, which will make everything all right). The movie is based on disparate for- mulas like this, but it’s not even very good at inter-relating them. For example, a ‘‘genera- tion gap’ supposedly exists be- tween the boy and his father (60 minus 22), although attitudinal- ly they're the same mental age (60 minus 60). Realistically, no gap exists, but one has been manufactured anyway to act as one more overturned pebble on the rocky road to Love. If Forty Carats were consis- tent to its premises, Liv would go back to her irresponsible first husband, played by Gene Kelly, who really makes her feel young. (His mental age is 22.) By force of numbers alone, Gene Kelly has it all over Ed- ward Arnold (the Young Man), but beyond that, you're talking about the difference between Taitinger’s and a glass of ginger ale. Arnold is surely the oddest male sexpot ever foisted upon the public. (I assume that’s why he gets hired.) He’s not particu- larly attractive, just dark and gangley. Don’t quote me on this, but when he takes his shirt off, I think he pulls his stomach in. (rod knows he has no style, just tempts to pass off as self-assur- ance. He walks as if he’s about’ to pounce. Instead of being magical, his love scenes with Liv Ulimann are akward and dopey. The director, Milton spectacular photography of the Greek coast, and dizzying edit- ing. but the chemistry is so ob- viously not there, that the movie sets a precedent for being inad- vertently funny, which it then seems hesitant to overturn.
