AND NEXT

The Supreme Court ot.

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

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- lege:of enjoying what is probably the finest motion

. Picture of the year, Tom

- Jones,

In Toronto, a Jocal mag- ante Hog railed the 18th. cen class Fanny Hill to be obscene.”

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

: tributed by a misguided 19-year-old Ontario youth. kk ok

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. a ey

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 crackers, , 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 almost decided. to becume a permanent invalid. My xids realize that

liant, unsuspected dimen- sion,

‘The reason there are no great wome: chefs? They've no imagination, My wife hacks up some lettuce, tomato and celery, and calls it a'salad. If she’s feeling particularly exotic, she

might throw in some sliced °

green pepper. My salads, besides these basics, con- . tained great’ chunks of . cheese, all colors; whole green onions, peeled grapes, shredded ‘lemon, Yaw carrots, quartered dill . pickle, jelly beans left he- . hind by the Easter bunny. The whole doused in a dressing made of four raw eggs mixed - with’ tartar sauce, ketchup, mayon- naise, mustard and vinegar.

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.

DEAR SLEEPLESS — That young man must break the apron strings if he is ever to know his own mind about anything!

And since his overbear- ing mother. is coming be- tween them, your daughter sees this forbidden treas- ure — the son — as some- thing extra glamorous, If they were free to associate without criticism, she could better know her own mind,

DEAR DORIS — Next month our Ladies’ Fellow- ship has a program planned. on “Budgets.” lam program chairman but I'm afraid I haven't a clue as to how to go about it.

We had spoken of other things that could be’ bud- geted besides money, such as time, time job and a family, I felt qualified to contribute! I had thought of trying to put on a skit in a Hight vein on how to do-two things at once,

Could you think of any- thing else one could learn to budget? . oaks

DEAR CHAIRMAN—How about talents?, Most, of us have several'lying dormant sources of- broader horl- zons and good fun, They May become hobbies, rec- reation, money makers—or all of them!

Then there’s reading ime. We really have to

ti fight for this one,

I suppose the ideal'is te program our lives in such a way that we develop four- fold: —: physically, mental- ly, socially and spiritually, ‘Good time-and-money bud- geting would provide for all of them. ‘

DEAR DORIS — I ama sophomore university stu- dent and an extreme intro- vert, I just can't seem to get out of my shell. While all my friends ‘are out’ having fun; I just stay at home and watch television alone.

I grew up on a little iso- lated island where social life was lacking and I guess this is part of my problem.

DICK

DEAR DICK—A shy per- son dies a thousand deaths in trying to break through the shell of his;own mak- ing. Anguish, isn’t it?

Here's .a secret. More people are shy. than you think! Secret Number Two: You are male, and there- fore have the right, to ask for a:date when you’ want
