AND NEXT

By RAY ARGYLE

The Supreme Court ot.

Canada has once again re-
jected complaints’ of ob-
scenity against certain
magazines _ widely. sold
throughout Canada. | This

plaint of

this nature

since Can-

ada’s new

obscenity

Jaw went into effect four
years ago.

The decisions, however,
have not deterred local
authorities from continuing
their efforts to deprive the
Public of publications or
motion pictures which they
think should be suppressed.

+ In Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, for instance, the en-
tire’ adult population has
been deprived of the privi-

probably the finest motion

Censorship of another
sort has’ been threatened
from Parliament as a result
of complaints against anti-
Jewish hate sheets dis.

19-year-old Ontario youth.

In the case of the Tom

. Jones movie, the distribut-
ing company refused to cut
sections ‘which provincial
authorities’ had regarded
as obscene and decided just
‘not to show the movie in
either Saskatchewan or

lberta.

In view of the Supreme
Court’s consistent refusal .
to accept obscenity charges
under our exisiting laws,
one must wonder why vari-
.Ous local authorities across
the country continue to
Press for conyictions of
this type.g 0

Seldom, if ever, do such
authorities enjoy any gen-
eral public support in their
efforts to decide on their
own what is best for the
Public,

Laws relating to morality
and censorship are prob-
ably among the most diffi. -
cult to enact and enforce
in present-day society. This
is because Western society
in general is going through
a revolutionary change in
attitudes toward traditional
morality.

It is not that morality,
as some charge, is break-
ing down. It is that atti-
tudes and standards, based
on a more realistic out-
look to life in general, are
changing ‘accordingly.

Literary and movie
censorship is not the only

storm centre of the forces -

now buffeting our tradi-
tional moral attitudes.

It is still illegal in Can- |
ada, for instance, to sell
birth contro] devices for
the express purpose of
birth control. Instead, they
must be sold in the. guise
of health protection, which
is a good example of the
hypocrisy still prevailing in
our sexual attitudes,

Canada’s divorce _ and
abortion laws still remain
as relics of a puritan age.
They would be modified:
tomorrow if the public were
allowed to make a demo-
eratic choice in the matter.

RS EGS

There is probably no
single law, however, which
is more stupid or. self-
defeating than Canada’s
aw, concerning drug addic-

ion,

. ‘The law as it now. stands

serves only one purpose—
it permits immense prof-
iteering by underworld
drug traffickers just as
prohibition laws ~ served
only the interests of boot-
leggers.

This is the kind of
“morality” we can. do
without.

A DRINK AT LEAST. ° During the stormy debates on the
proposed Canada Pension Plan at the Federal-Provincial
Conference in Quebec City, Quebec Premier Jean Lesage
Proved he was at least willing to give Health and Welfare
Minister Judy LaMarsh some co-operation in regard to her
thirst, if not on her proposed national pension scheme.

Holiday In The Kitchen

ILL SMILEY
I'm golng to punch right
on the nose the next per-
son, be it man, woman,
i child or nice
® old lady
* whose bones
are as brit-
tle as soda

, who asks
me, “Did
you have a
nice’ Easter
holiday?" -

Bul Smiley
teachers have a nice Easter
holiday, and good luck to
them. But English teachers
are not.among them.

English teachers have
the same-sort of holiday a
bus driver would have if he
were given a week off and
told he was to drive a bus
from Hailfax to Vancouver.
in the next seven days,

When the holidays began,
I had ‘examination papers
to mark which represented
a total of about 480 student
writing hours, (They could
have produced the works
of Shakespeare in the same
time.) This, in turn, means
that I have about 100 hours
of marking time.

No complaints, It’s part
of the job. But things were
a little more complicated
this year. The women of
the house came down with
‘flu, just'as the “holidays”
began.

The result was that, in-
stead of sitting quietly in
my study, and having
countless cups of tea: and

coffee, innumerable beers. .

and sandwicher brought
me, to keep me going, I
found myself trotting up
and down stairs about six
hours of each day, bearing
up tempting little things
on trays, bearing down
dirty dishes. While’ my pil-
lars of papers sat and
Bathered dust.

Results of turning the
old man. loose with. the
grub for a few days was
interesting. “My .wife has

DEAR DORIS .— When
the boy next door showed
an interest in my daughter,
his mother kept inviting his
old steady down. He didn't
seem too happy about it
and tried to break off, Then
his mother cried and felt so

bad that he made‘up with
her,

She keeps reminding my
daughter that her son is
going steady; but then she
, takes:pity on: him and. lets
him take her out. At Easter

_ they saw each. other one
night and she came home
looking terrible. She didn't
sleep. 4

Does this sound silly to
you? It really isn’t when it
affects your own House.
