y Chomyn. also of
ham. was the other
tinting . voice of the
Ing. He said violence in
media is not "the root
se_ of the social
nonienon but the
alyst".
r. Chornyn expressed his

" he asked.
cott Young, who chaired
meeting Wednesday,
ured Mr. Chomyn that the
mmission has no precon-
wed notions for censorship.
'We're not any red-hot
nsors up here," Mr. Young
id.
He did admit, however, that
views aired by some speakers
at the hearings did- give an
indication that Censorship
was not unacceptable to
many people.
Mr. Young said the major
problem to date is the lack of
alternative programming.
"If you don't like the
iolence. where do you go?"
e explained.
The majority view of the six
briefs presented during the
hearing. however. supported
the contention that violence in
the media is indeed the
reason for increasing
violence and crime in society.
"It's time it were stopped. '
Mrs. Jocelyn Daunt of
Molesworth told the COM
-
mission. She presented a
brief .on behalf of the
Molesworth Women's
Institute, recommending that
steps be taken soon to "cut
out alt violence in the media's.
The recommendations
included a proposal that
television cameras swing
away when fights start during
hockey games or other
sports. The brief also
suggested a public boycott of
products advertised during
the presentation of shows
characterised by violence.
The print media also
contributed to the problem.
Mrs. Daunt said, citing
sadism . in books and
magazines and sen-
sationalism in newspaper
reports of crime and violence
as examples.
"I wish they'd just tell what
happened." she said.
Mrs. Daunt. a mother of
five children, told the com-
mission that her solution at
present is to turn off the
& television set. •
don't have time to see
what my children are
seeing." she explained. "The
best thing to do is to keep it
off."
These views were also
supported by a presentation
from the Bluevale-
Whitechurch Pastoral Board.
Mrs. Evelyn Demaray told
the commission that Nurid
details" about crimes
geported in the media
provided a blueprint for
violent acts.
"You just have to read and
watch common material on
the media to learn to commit
crimes.- she,said.
She said that media is
"lavithing attention on evil
and not giving equal time to
good", presenting a distorted
