Women's Institute of
Ontario holds conference
"We must work together if
we are to accomplish our ob-
jectives," said Mrs. Harvey
Noblitt of Ottawa, the Presi-
dent of the Federated
Women's Institute of
Canada, when she addressed
over 500 Women's Institute
delegates at the 35th annual
Officers' Conference at
Waterloo University. In her
official visit to Ontario, she
was stressing the impor-
tance of good resolutions.
They must be current, well
researched, facts and con-
cerns for all of society.
"Past resolutions have made
changes, but positive action.
must be taken on pensions,
pornography, and human
rights," she said.
"Invest your time in your
family as it is the most im-
portant social institution,"
said the Hon. Dennis Tim-
• brell, Minister of
Agriculture' and Food, when
speaking at the opening ses-
sion. He reminded the
delegates that .May is
"Family Unity Month".
Timbrell praised the
members for their tireless
efforts in bettering family
life for everyone. In 1984, On-
tario will be celebrating
their bicentennial and he
asked the women to par-
ticipate in local celebrations.
The delegrates, having
come from all parts of the
province for this three-day
learning experience, attend-
ed workshops with resolu-
tions and a better knowledge
of the organization being the
objective.
Mrs. Keith Hiepleh, Presi-
dent of the Federated
Women's Institute of On-
tario, chaired the sessions
and spoke on the theme:
"Approach each tomorrow
with the knowledge you gain-
ed today" and thus become
better informed individuals
moving forward and looking
to new programs.
Ken. Knox, Director of
Rural Organizations and
Services Branch of . OMAF,
was capably ., assisted by
Joyce Canning and Peter
Fleming of the Branch, in
presenting future projects
and programs that will help
meet the needs and pro-
blems in rural Ontario:
Meetings, studies and
workshops had been held in
co-operation with the
Women's Institutes and
other rural organizations, in
order to further this project.
Knox urged the members to
chartg a new course with
fresh ideas. He said, "As we
change, we take on new op-
portunities and have a new
outlook."
Joyce Canning, as co-
ordinator, likened the
Women's Institute to a
farmer who sows good seed
on fertile ground, nurtures
the seed and reaps the
harvest. Joyce said, "The
women must have new pro-
grams" aneenlarged on the
suggested topics and
resources for their use.
The plenary session, led by
Mrs. C. Diamond and her
leaders, enthusiastically
provided information not on-
ly for effective resolutions
but a broader knowledge of
the Women's Institute with
its projects and ac-
complishments. The
delegates are now better
'equipped to lead in their
branches and in their com-
munities.
Children can get restricted
movies from rental stores
Movies which would be
placed in the "restricted"
category for showing at
movie theatres can be ob-
tained by children at video
rental stores, according to
an announcement recently
made by OPP Commissioner
James Erskine.
A movie shown in a public
theatre in this province must
first be screened .by the On-
tario Board of Censors. That
body decides 'the viewing
categories -- restricted,
adult accompaniment, etc. -
and .can also order portions
to be removed from the film
if the Board considers them
to be too violent or sexually
explicit.
Videotapes •of movies
available in rental stores are
not•subjected to the same ap-
proval process. The video
versions will often bear a
printed statement saying the
movies has been approved
when the actual video ver-
sions still contain( parts
which cannot be screened in
a regular movie theatre.
Ontario Solicitor General
George Taylor recently
stated that imported movies
are not reviewed by Canada
Customs. Importers have 60
days in which to arrange for
a screening by the Board of
Censors or they can just
return the films to the
_.._,.fnr ign roistriri utnrs. -During-
that interval, some of the
films are being copied solely
for the videotape 'rental
trade and then sent back.
Ontario Provincial Police
and Metropolitan Toronto
Police officers have joined
forces to fight pornography
in the areas under their
jurisdiction. in the first four
months of 1983, these officers
seized over 1,000 videotapes
from video stores and
distributors =valued at
$130,000. More than-♦-�9,0--
charges -have -been laid -in -the -
distributors in possession of
these obscene tapes may be
liable to prosecution under
the obscenity provisions of
the Criminal Code.
"We are committed to
rigorous enforcement of
these laws," said Comm. Er-
skine. "Parents should be
aware that their children
could have access to this
material. They are urged to
report all incidents where
obscenity is suspected in
rental videotapes, to the
police authority having
jurisdiction where the store
is located."

There is an onus on video
store owners to apply the
"Canadian contemporary
community standards"
*when they obtain videotapes
for renting. Videotapes
which show explicit
simulated sexual acts, ac-
tual sexual acts or a com-
bination of sex and violence
would probably not conform
with these standards and
could well be considered
obscene.
