Lawson Seaforth $10; Mrs. Trustees of the Huron County Board of Education went to the movie's June 12 to decide if two films dealing with rape are fit for use in county high schools. The films How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive and All About Rape, are suggested viewing for secondary school students to help them deal with a rapist if they are ever confronted by one. One film How to say Know to a Rapist and Survive, is currently in the board's film library and the other, has just been released. DOrothy Wallace, chairman of the board's school program policy committee, told the board that the board owned film has been shown once in 1977.78 to Grade 12 law class.The film recently came under some criticism after a University of Western Ontario student employed the advice offered in the film and was brutally raped on the London campuS last year. 'The victim claimed the advice given in the film was wrong and that the film • should be banned from use in schools and universities. , The board was asked by the Kinsmen Club of Belgrave to make use of the film in its secondary schools. The Club sent a letter to the board saying its with corsages included Janet, her mother, Mrs. Eva Flood, her grandmother Mrs. Wm Bishop. As the groom's mother, Mrs. Walden was unable to attend, Mrs. Cook took her place. The following address was read by Pam Hackwell: Bluevale. $10; Clara McGinnis, Fordwich. $17-25; Mary Jane Pearson $10; Brenda Stevens $10; Mrs. Wm. Lawson $10; Joiinne Plas $10; Mrs. Subject $21.50; Pat Theodore $10; Harold Alcoa $10; Ethel Staten $10; Mrs. Harnock $15. - memberS had seen the film and a recommendation was made to encourage the-board to make use of the'excellene film. Separate school trustee Eugene Frayne pointed out to the board that the recent controversy over quetionable material in English literature textbooks in use in county classrooms may be stirred by a bdard decision over use of the films. He said the board may be opening the door for more criticism from parents. "It seems like board members have received a lot of criticism over books we haven't read. The people putting out these films have no experience in rape, who are they to talk?" he said. "It's just a comment." Mrs. Wallace suggested that the board inv ite some of its teachers or interested parents to' attend the viewing. She said the board could meet at 8:00 p.m. and advise any one wanting to attend of the time. "If it's a double feature maybe we shOuld meet at 7:00," qitippcd Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald. "I hope you learn something at the viewing Mr. McDonald but not too much," -replied board chairman John Elliott. Dear Janet: We're heard that July the first is a Very special day.
