Pornography condemned at separate school board meeting "Pornography is like a cancer and we've got to start somewhere to stamp it out." These were chairman Mickey Vere's words at Monday night's meeting of the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic School Board. Vere was referring to a letter, which was sent to all the boards of education in the country, from the Periodical Dis- tributors of Canada. The letter suggests that the issue of availability of porno- graphic material to children should be left in the hands of the courts and the boards should not interfere. Director of Education Bill Eckert described the letter as a public relations document, full of contradictions and accusa- tions. The availability - of porn- ography is an issue which has raised much discussion at recent OSTC meetings. The Huron - Perth Separate School board also received a memorandum from the executive director of the On- tario School Trustee's Council concerning pronography. The. ineeS r dum says ucatorS-a brit at athe pouring of millions of dollars intopublications for marketing, which give a distorted impression of social acceptability and nor- malcy of sexual deviation" and the availability of these 'publica- tions to children. Trustee Arthur Haid said, "It's not only magazines and written material, but movies and tele- vision also go uncensored and are available to children." Haid went on to say. "There's nothing that takes hold of a child's mind like that TV set." Chairman Vere suggested trustees write their local alder- men, members of the legislature, and member of parliament, "If they get enough letters they'll have to take action on the issue or we won't put them back in," he declared. According to Vere, letters from organizations which contain a list of names don't hold any punch anymore. "We must write the politicians individually express ing our concerns pn the subject." The matter was referred to the next meeting of the board to allow the trustees to consider the issue and be ready to decide wh is to be done: One suggestion, form a special committee to deal with the issue, was forwarded to the September 26 meeting of the board. Open house for fortieth an nivffial Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rintoul of Sudbury, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Rintoul and Mr. and Mrs. Russell Zurbrigg held Open House at the latter's home on Saturday eve- ning, to celebrate the 40th wed- ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rintoul.

A social hour followed. around the schools of St. Patricks in'Dublin, which is overcrowded, and St. Columban, a short dis- tance from Dublin, which is ex- periencing a .considerable loss of students. Trustee Ronald Marcy told the board, "We must distribute the children so that full advantage can be made of each school." According to Marcy, the learning environment is hampered by the overcrowding situation and there may have to be boundary .,hanges to alleviate this problem. The administration reminded the board this is a problem facing nearly every school board in the province and it won't be solved overnight. An upcoming Ontario School Trustees' Council conference to be held in Toronto has designed its program around declining enrolments. Trustee Ronald Murray sug- gested that members of the board attending that conference report back on the outcome of dis- cussions raised there. "We've got to do something this year so this won't get worse next year, even if it means trucking some students presently attending Dublin to St. Columban." Superintendent of Business and Finance Jack Lane reminded the board that boundary and busing changes would cause reaction from some parents. "It may appear easy to resolve, but busing is a touchy thing to change.
