By RAY ARGYLE
The Supreme Court of Can-
ada has once again rejected
complaints of obscenity against
certain magazines widely sold
throughout Canada. This latest
decision keeps intact the court's
record of turning down every
single complaint of this nature
since Canada's new obscenity
law went into effect four years
ago.
The decisions, however, have
not deterred local authorities
from continuing their efforts to
deprive the public of publica-
tions or motion pictures which
they think should be sup-
pressed.
In Alberta and Saskatchewan,
for instance, the entire adult
population has been deprived
of the privilege of enjoying
what is probably the finest mo-
tion pictures of the year, Tom
Jones.
In Toronto, a local magistrate
has ruled the 18th -century clas-
sic, Fanny Hill, to be obscene.
Censorship of another sort
has been threatened from Par-
liament as a result of com-
plaints against anti-Jewish hate
sheets distributed by a misguid-
ed 19 -year-old Ontario youth.
* *
In the case of the Tom Jones
movie, the distributing company
refused to cut sections which
provincial authorities had re-
garded as obscene and decided
just not to show the movie in
either Saskatchewan or Alberta.
In view of the Supreme
Court's consistent refusal to ac-
cept obscenity charges under
our existing laws, one must
wonder why various local au-
thorities across the country
continue to press for convictions
of this type.
Seldom, if ever, do such au-
thorities enjoy any general pub-
lic support in their efforts to
decide on their own what is
best for the public.
Laws relating to morality and
censorship are probably among
the most difficult to enact and
enforce in present-day society.
This is because Western society
in general is going through a
revolutionary change in atti-
tudes toward traditional mor-
ality.
It is not that morality, as
some charge, is breaking down.
It is that attitudes and stand-
ards, based on a more realistic
outlook to life in general, are
changing accordingly.
Literary and movie censor-
ship is not the only storm cen-
tre of the forces now buffeting
our traditional moral attitudes.
It is still illegal in Canada,
for instance, to sell birth can-
trol devices for the express pur-
pose of birth control. Instead,
they must be sold in the guise
of health protection, which is a
good example of the hypocrisy
still prevailing in our sexual
attitudes.

Mr. and Mrs. Alf Moffatt,
who celebrated their 40th wed-

were pleasantly surprised when
a number of friends and neigh-

on Thursday evening to honour
them. They were guests of Mr.

participated, they were present-

tion laws still remain as relics
of a puritan age. They would
be modified tomorrow if the
public were allowed to make a
democratic choice in the matter.
There is probably no single
law, however, which is more
stupid or self-defeating than
Canada's law concerning •drug
addiction.
The law as it now stands
serves only one purpose — it
permits immense profiteering
by underworld drug traffickers
just as prohibition laws served
only the interest of bootleggers.
This is the kind of "morality"
we can do without.
