Pornography
Usually, any discussion about
pornography revolves around arguments
about freedom of speech and artistic
licence. The subject of money rarely, if
ever, arises. However, dig into the
pornography business and you will find it
powered not by artists or free-thinkers,
but by men who want to make a buck.
The pornographer tries to divert
anyone who complains, by decrying him
. as a witch hunter, a mental neanderthal
stamping on artistic effort. But no
thinking person could confuse aberration
N:aill*Iii:"The artist uses sex for a creative"'
purpose. The 'pornographer uses it as a
stimulant to the curious, the troubled, the
sick or the depraved. His purpose 'is to
make money, as much as he can.
Some pornography is illegal; some is
legal.
The explicit depicting of the sexual
act in magazines is banned for public
consumption. Hard-core magazine
pornography, then, is underground.
Above ground, however, many grubby
publications thrive, publications which
cover transvestism, sadism, flagellation
and other sexual aberrations — quite
pornographic enough for the average
devotee of this sort of literature.
Regarding books, there are no limits
on what can be said in print — no need
here for an' underground movement.
Legally, business is flourishing. The print
market for' pornographic books was
breached 'on the artistic front in North
America when, in 1934, the United States
Court of Appeals rendered a decision
which opened up bookstores to James
Joyce's Ulysses — and, incidentally, four
letter words.
Unfortunately, too many of Joyce's
successors do not measure up a artists.
Pocketbook racks abound with sexual
circuses degrading to writer, reader,
publisher and anyone else connected with
them.
Pornography is becoming increasingly
acceptable in films, as any moviegoer
knows. An even more explicit
underground business also exists.
As long as sex sells and money
attracts, the pornography business above
and below ground will flourish. It is time
we stopped being afraid to attack its
leaders. They are not sensitive artists; they
are businessmen and their business is
unsavory. What's wrong with demanding
that it be cleaned up?

Dear Sir:
I read' with interest and, I
admit, some bias the Editorial
"The Home of Radar" of 15
August and Mr, Duff
Thompson's letter of 22 August,
I can confirm that among
thousands of Canadian Service
and former . Service personnel
there is a well-defined
connection between "Clinton"
and "radar." During my own
military career I have met
United States Air Force officers
in Washington, D.C. and in
ColOrado Springs who, in a
similar manner, have identified
themselves as Clinton radar
students from \the early 1940's.
In appreciation of the
friendliness and consideration
which the citizens of Clinton
have extended to their military
Base personnel Over the years, I
Would like to offer the talents of
the Base's artists to produce
some symbolic radar designs for
review by .1,•ht T-e-w•Fs, ghwecil,
Hopefully, one could be found
suitable for use en the Town's
signs and brochures to identify,
officially Clinton as "The Home
of Radar."
Yours truly,
Col, E. P. Ryan
Base Commander

Miss Helen Welsh has
It's customary to look for-
ward to the end of holidays
with a mixture of wistfulness
and despair. They were too
short; the weather was rotten;
the kids all had the skitters;
and you hate going back to
that job that you hate.
But quite a few people go
back to the routine of every ,
day, organized living with
something like 'a sigh of relief.
Basically, men like work,
They are not cut out for more
than a couple of weeks of the
gay, abandoned life of camp-
ing, swimming, fishing. These
are treats to look forward to,
and to look back on. But, like
many of the other treats in
life, they lose their flavor if
taken in large, continuous
doses. Even a kid gets sick of
ice cream if he gets it at every
meal for a month.
So the boys tote their sun-
burned carcases back to the
job; and fall, reasonably happy,
back into the comfortable
retina of daily work, the casual
friendships with fellow-enr-
ployees, and the good, long,
lazy mooch around on week-
ends.
For the laCies, end of hon.-
days is often sheer delight,
Especially those with school-
age children. No more cuts and
scrapes to look afte., . No more
summer 'flu to cope with. No
more Panic at the beach when
Jimmie disappears for a few
minutes. NO more huddling in
a tent 'while the rain pours
doWn.
What joy to get everybody
out of the house in the morn-
ing! What bliss to sit down
with a quiet ,cup Of coffee and
taste the pure pleasure of pri-
vacy! What exquisite ecstasy to
know that nobody is going to
burst in with a, "Hey, Morn,
Billy just fell Off the porch on
his head,"
Like many another, I don't
mind the end Of holidays at
TI,vo months Of muddling and
piddling around 4egenerates
almost any nut to the level of
a beachcernber,
Looking beck each year, the
sum total of my holidays fails
disl111111,' to impress nic Long,
returned from a two weeks
vacation spent in Northern
Ontario where she was the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Pepper of
Warren,
glorious days of fun in the sun.
My foot! This summer was no
different, I went fishing once
in the bass-infested waters of
Georgian Bay, fished all day,
and caught a cold, I broke 100
in golf. Once. I poured several
hundred . drinks for visitors.
Not a glorious record of
achievement.
It's the things I didn't do
that makes the impressive list.
I didn't go on that canoe trip
up north, I didn't jog for an
hour every day to get in shape.
I didn't go to the Stratford
Festival. I didn't take off on
that swing around to see -all
my old friends in the weekly
newspapers, I didn't make that
trip to Quebec City to see son
Hugh. I didn't read War and
Peace. The list is endless.
That's why the opening of
school in September finds me
almost eager to abandon this
life of ,sloth and meet the chal-
lenge of all those young faces
in the classroom. And chal-
lenge is the word for some of
them. "I defy you to teach me
anything."
But there are other things
that make the • opening of a
school a pleasant occasion. Fel-
low-teachers are all brown and
keen and friendly. By Novem-
ber they'll be gray and har-
assed and surly, but that's all
right.
There are the new ,teachers,
wide-eyed with alarm and *con-
fusion,. who ask desperately,"
But where do I send them
forms? What do I do with the
locker money? How do you
teach a poem? Who do I Me to
resign?"
There are the9 first staff
Meetings, these symposiums
which sparkle with the wit and
eloquence of a grocery list.
But first end foremost, there
are the thirteen 'hundred stu-
dents, brown of face and limb,
mini-skirted to the hilt, friend-
happy and excited as they
greet old classenates, Make
new friends and head for an-
other itilict(rnit oh their trek
through Tire,
Don't ask me in February,
but in September t / like it,
