porn not api By KIRK LAPOINTE ‘The Canadian Press A federal poll suggests only 12 per cent of Canadians believe pornography is a major problem in their communities and 59 per cent think it is either a small problem or no problem at all. Meanwhile a whopping 99 per cent of those interviewed for the poll want the government to intervene when publica- tions clearly show “scenes of a sexual nature” involving children — including 73 per cent who want content censored and children’s access to such publications prohibited. Other findings in the Canadian Unity Information Office poll suggest 34 per cent of people aged 18 to 29 in the survey have purchased a pornographic video cassette and five per cent of men — a figure the poll says represents 100,000 men _ admit they have paid for sexual services on occasion. The poll, conducted for the now-defunct office between last Feb. 15 and March 15 by the Centre de recherches sur Yopinion publique (CROP) of Montreal, consisted of 2,021 face-to-face interviews. A sample this size is considered accurate within three percentage points, 19 times out of 20, the unity office said. A summary of the poll, titled Canadians and Pornography and conducted by the office for the Justice Department, was released to The Canadian Press after a request under the Access to Information Act. Interviewers, most of them women, asked whether pornography was perceived to be a problem in communities, what the government should do about it and how people defined and used pornography. CITES FIGURES The poll said only 12 per cent of those polled believe pornography is a major problem, 21 per cent believe it is somewhat a problem, 23 per cent believe it is a small problem and 36 per cent believe it is no problem at all in their communities. Eight per cent didn't know or had no There is no “statistically significant difference” on that as to the sex, language, province or religion of those interviewed. : But those older than 60, those making less than $15,000 and those married believe more often that is a problem than those aged 18 to 29, those making more than $35,000 and those who are single. When publications clearly show scenes of a sexual nature involving adults, only nine per cent of those polled say the government shouldn't do anything, while 39 per cent want such content censored and kept away from children. Among other findings: e Only 11 per cent say they have bought magazines “depicting scenes of sexual nature” and 18 per cent have bought a video cassette depicting such scenes in the last year — findings which CROP warned could be “grossly understated.” « Twenty-five per cent of those interviewed define pornography as a “nude woman in a magazine or on a video,” including 29 per cent of women, 44 per cent of those aged 60 or more, 37 per cent of those in the Atlantic region or in rural areas, 40 per cent of those with no further education than the eighth grade and 30 per cent of homemakers. e Nineteen per cent define pornography as a mixture of sexual intercourse and violence, including 23 per cent of men, 25 per cent of those aged 18 to 29, 24 per cent of those earning more than $35,000 and 29 per cent of those with post-secondary education. e A majority of Canadians, 61 per cent, define pornography as ranging from a “nude couple caressing” to a “couple having intercourse” with or without violence. The 73 per cent of those polled calling for censorship and restricted access for juveniles to child pornography divided into regional figures of 83 per cent of those in the Atlantic region, 80 per cent of those in Toronto and 78 per answer. cent of those in the West TO LOCAL BARGAINING Pulp firms seek change VANCOUVER (CP) — Ina bid to rid themselves of industry-wide labor disrup- tions, British Columbia's pulp and paper companies want to wipe out their industry wide bargaining arm and re- the Pulp and Paper Labor Relations Bureau. The bureau made the ap- plication Tuesday. A board of direetors meeting on Friday unanimously approved the change. The board comprises 14 pulp and paper companies operating 19 B.C. pulp mills Board approval will pave the way towards company by-company or even mill by-mill bargaining in the pulp-and-paper sector of B.C.'s forest industry. Since 1970, all bargaining has been handled by the Pulp and Paper Industrial Relations Bureau for the benefit of its 14 members. Don Saunders, chairman and chief executive officer of the bureau, said the decision was made after several months of review in the wake of the two-month shutdown in early 1984. “We have to adapt to a rapidly changing and incneas- ingly competitive world mar- ket place,” Saunders said. “One of our objectives is to avoid industry-wide shut downs that benefit neither the employer nor the em. ployee.” Saunders said the bureau will continue to exist, and no one will be laid off. If the board approves the applica tions, the bureau will organ ize discussions with union leaders to hammer out a bar gaining structure to replace the existing one.

They won't have any suc. cess that way, he said, adding it will make it very difficult to reach an agreement. “When the chips are down, the CPU has always managed to ‘have good solidarity be- tween the local unions and even between the PPWC and us. I don't think that they're going to be able to divide us if that’s their aim.” No additional notice for tests OTTAWA (CP) — The De- fence Department has no in tention of augmenting noti fication procedures for cruise missile testing in northwes tern Canada, a department spokesman said Tuesday. Capt. Luigi Rossetto said the Department of Transport is already obliged to issue warning of the tests at least 60 days in advance and that flight notices at airports, known as notams, are also provided 48 hours before hand On Monday, Western Arc tie MP Dave Nickerson, a Conservative, told the Com mons there were several complaints last winter “deal. ing with inadequate notice” to civilian flyers using the air corridor in northwestern Al berta and the Northwest Territories where the mis- the g yd Way it doserrt happen once a month. or even Our dazting aay of eonings reckaces and rings & hare for hast o few precious ova $0, 390 then soon before them fery tare extinguahed forever. sile’s guidance system was being tested Nickerson said more ad vance warning was needed “to avoid unfortunate acci. dents.” Rossetto, who was at the last cruise test, said Tuesday there were no complaints, only migunderstandings of flight notices. “A coupile of people had not examined their notams care. fully. They just needed an explanation,” Rossetto said For last winter's tests the Transport Department is. sued the first advance notice in November and the tests were carried out in March, he said. The notices and notams lay out the test corridor that is to be used by an aircraft with the missile strapped to it and by tracking planes. 270 Columbia Ave. Castlegar Ph. 365-2151 MOROSO, MARKIN & BLAIN Certified General Accountants 241 Columbia Ave. Castlegar Ph. 365-7287 Soligo, Koide & John Chartered Accountants 615 Columbia Ave. Henry John, B.Sc., C.A.
