Freedom group debates press coverage
Press coverage provided
the Huron County Society
for the Freedom of Choice
with something of a dilem-
ma at its meeting in Clinton
Wednesday night.
Chairman Dr. Tony Miller
‘ 5 third
Wednesday nighty
told the society’s
meeting that some of the
members felt the press
should not be allowed to at
tend Wednesday’s meeting
so that members could
"bare our souls in private.”
However, Coun. Elsa
Haydon insisted the meeting

figure skating carnival. T-A photo
should remain open To the
public and press. The
society's first two meetings
were covered by the media
and Mrs. Haydon said
reports prompted people
from as far away as Toronto
and Espanola to call, sup
porting the group’s efforts.
Society member Stephen
Norton was critical of The
London Free Press coverage
of the meetings. He said The
Press erred when it said the
society was asking the
Huron County board of
education to “reinstate” the
controversial Margaret
Laurence novel, The
Diviners, during a January
meeting.
The society had discussed
the idea of reinstating the
book but softened its motion
to read that the trustees
"reconsider” their stand
prohibiting the use of The
Diviners as a high school
textbook.
Mrs. Haydon, who in
stigated the motion, said
Thursday, however, her in
tent was to have the book
reinstated.
The board didn't take any
action on the society's mo
tion but society members
agreed Wednesday night
their efforts were not in vain
since it prompted the
trustees to rethink the book
issue.
The society agreed to
allow the press to remain at
the Wednesday meeting but
then broke into small groups
to continue discussions on
society goals.
Among the suggestions
that followed the group’s
sessions were concerns
about the amount of govern
ment bureaucracy, Huron
County’s image because of
the book banning and con
cerns that people who intend
to take a stand on any book
should have read it all first
and not only excerpts before
making a value judgement.
The society did not pass
any motions but agreed to
discuss their lengthy list of
concerns again in smaller
groups. The meetings of the
smaller groups will be
arranged by members.
