Cens.orship
These Books Sell
"I would sooner give spy daugh-
ter a bottle of prussic acid than
allow her to read this book!"
These words were written by the
editor of one of Britain's widely
read Sunday newspapers 20 years
ago about a book he bad read and
of which he disapproved:
"This degrading novel, dealing as
it does with a subject that decent
people do not discuss, should be
banned," wrote another self-ap-
pointed guardian of public morals.
"1t is incredible that this writer of
so many distinguished novels
should have descended so low. His
book is a disgrace to English
letters."
Each of the above damning com-
ments about different books was
written by distinguished men of
wide education and considerable
experience. All three are very much'
men of the world and far froze be-
ing sheltered, over -sensitive prudes.
Their violent attacks on the books,
which I shall not name, could not
have been the outcome of their
personal revulsion to what they
read since tltep know as much
about the "facts of life" as the
authors they castigated, writes
Thomas Fairley, in "Answers."
Boosted the Sales!
When these critics expressed
themselves so fiercely, the main ef-
fect of their denunciations was to
send hundreds, if not thousands, of
people to the bookshops and
libraries in search of the book they
were told not to read: In each case.
the books in question, which might
otherwise have had little or no at-
tention, became best sellers.
One night have thought theft in
these day; of broadmindedness, at-
tacks on books that "ought to be
banned" would have stopped. But
no. A few weeks ago tine editor
of a famous newspaper printed a
denunciation of a book that is, in
fact, so dull that it could only be of
interest to sociologists and other
scientists who have a professional
reason for taking an interest in the
subject. And the subject is what
soldiers talk about among them-
selves when they are separated for
an unreasonably long time from
their womenfolk.
What is the reason for asking
that any books be banned? The
only important reason is that the
book in question would cause pub-
lic harm. And how can a printed
book do harm? Only by putting
vicious ideas (moral, political, re-
ligious' or otherwise) into minds
where no, vicious thoughts existed
before; or by encouraging people
of lax morality to feel that their
leanings are generally condoned or
even justified. The other reason is,
of -course, curiosity. Have the writ-
ers of "sexy," "hot" or "blue" books
something to tell us that we don't
know? The answer is almost al-
ways "No." The truth is that they
seldom tell. us anything interesting
sand certainly nothing new.
Even Shakespeare "Erred"
Even Shakespeare has not been
exempt from attentiion on the
grounds of morals. At the end of
the eighteenth century, a physician
named Thomas Bowdler objected
to certain passages in the works
of the Bard so he produced his
own edition under the title of The
Family Shakespeare with all refer-
ences to sex omitted, thereby add-
ing the word "bowdlerised" to the
English language,
As far as I know, no one has ever
had the temerity to bowdlerise the
Bible, but there was once a maiden
to V V isetAY.r.k.

You, too, have the power to ban
books -by becotndng what is called
a common informer.The law lot
England on the subject is curious.
It is forbidden to publish porno-
graphy, and publication in law con-
Sists .of showing even one other
person a written work or a picture
or photograph which the magistrate
considers lewd and indecent; but
no action is taken unless thatper-
son complains to the police. Such
a complainant is known as a com-
mon informer.
A printed book may sell 100,000
copies before any action will be
taken by the police unless a cam -
mon informer makes a complaint.
But if you . think of appointing'
yourself a keeper of other people's
morals, you must be careful, for if
the magistrate considers your com-
plaint frivolous, you may be had
•up yourself for wasting the time
of the police and the court as a
public nuisance!
The case of John Clelland is in-
teresting. A man of good £aauily,
his father was a colonel in .the reg-
ular army and he was educated at
Westminster. He served for a
while in the- consular service and
later he was in a merchant's office
in India. But Clelland was not sat-
isfied -he wanted to be a.writer, so
he tame back to London full of
confidence and ambition.
He wrote and wrote, but no one
was interested and soon he began
to suffer from the complaint which
is almost an occupational disease
among writers -he was very hard
up. In fact, he was starving.
Pension, Not Prison
He went round all the publish-
ers' offices offering his services as
a hack writer at almost any price,
and one day a none -to --scrupulous
publisher persuaded him to write a
pornographic work. Clelland hesi-
tated at first, but with visions of
being turned out of his lodgings
and of starving in the gutter, he at•
last agreed.
His first novel was "The Mem-
oirs of Fanny Hill," and no one
could ever accuse him of not keep-
ing his bargain -it was porno-
graphic with a vengeance! There
was scarcely a page without some
incident calculated to scandalize'
even the' toughest reader. It should
have been printed on asbestos!
It sold like wildfire and m enor-
mous quantities. • The printers and
the book sellers could not keep up
with the demand. It was denounced
in the daily press and in serious
weekly journals, but nothing hap-
pened to curb the sale of Fanny
Hill until, one day, a public-spirited
individual made a complaint and
the police took their usual action.
The printers were forbidden to
produce any more copies and the e
book sellers were restrained from
selling the book pending the de-
cision of the court. Copies were
sent to the magistrates for their in-
spection and decision, and they de-
cided without much difficulty that
"The Memoirs of Fanny Hill" was
indeed an indecent work and a
danger to public morals.
Clelland was summoned before
the Privy Council and, in view of
the questionable nature of his work,
the only defence he could put for-
ward was poverty.
Fortunately, the council was in a
good humor that morning. The
president, Earl Granville, spoke se-
verely to the author in the dock
about the seriousness of his of-
fence, but instead of sentencing him
to imprisonment, as one might ex-
pect, Lord Granville said that he
would recommend Clelland for a
pension from the state of £100 per
annum on condition that he re-
frained • from writing any more
books of a like nature!
This happened in 1749 -exactly
200 years ago. And I may add that
"The Memoirs of Fanny Hill"
have been out of print and unob-
tainable for at least a century.
Santa Had To Hurry -Christmas came a little early for two-
year-old Tommy Pace because Tommy is suffering from the
deadly blood disease, leukemia, and 'may not live until De-

I am going to ask you a question.
It is this:
Do you, as an Institute or club
worker, sufficiently appreciate
those hard-working members of
the various organizations tie which
you belong? If some of those same
skilled workers who pow do so
much for your club should move
away, have you any idea who would
carry on the work that, up to the
present, has been so willingly left
to their capable brains attdfingers?
Could you do it?
Not only that, but does your
organization as a whole ever stake
a point of showing appreciation for
the capable help that has been giv-
en, from one vicer's end to an-
other?
Ali persons are not good at the
same teeing -thus we have :•o.ne
who excel at baking; others at knit-
ting and needlework; some in an
organizing capacity, and still others
at music or handicraft.
Whatever their talent, tete organ•
iz.ation may not have need of it all
the time, but when the necessity
arises for someone to take charge
of a specialized job, what a com-
fort it is to know you have just
the right person to handle it. Only
we are rather inclined to take such .
help for granted, don't you think?
.This fact was brought home to
one Institute branch just recently
when a lovely quilt top and lining
was given to the branch to be
quilted and sold -the proceeds' to
go to the branch. So here was a
curter
top, beautifully made, but it
had yet to be marked for quilting.
It was some years since this par-
ticular branch has done any work
on a good quilt -that is, one re-
quiring a definite pattern and fine
quilting. In the meantime, the
two artistic members who had al-
ways so obligingly done the mark-
ing job on any special quilt, had

moved away. immediately the
question arose, "Who will mark
the quilt?"
A committee was appointed for
the job -and that committee soon
knew only too well, if it didn't
before -just how much time and
wok had gone into all the previous
quilt markings that had been done
sowillingly for the branch by the
two members who were now too
tar away to give any assistance.
The committee finally got the
quilt marked and into the frames,
but would the other members who
came to quilt and followed the in-
tricate pattern that had been de-
signed for therm -would they realize
the work that marking a quilt may
involve? No doubt it will all be
taken for granted, as it generally
is. Very few of us realize the de-
tail of any job until we have to do
it ourselves. Then how can such
a situation be avoided?
Well, here is a suggestion -inn so
far as quilts are concerned. Most
W.I. branches put on demonstra-
tions of one kind or another during '
the year -then why not a demon-
stration on quilt marking? In near-
ly every district there can be found
artistic persons who are known to
be good at this very exacting job,
and even though they may not be
members of the W.I., I ant sure
any one of thein could be persuaded
to give a demonstration, Talented
people are like that -nearly always
generous in trying to pass -on a
little of their specialized skill to
others less fortunate. Perhaps by"
a demonstration of that kind, other
members might be found to have
just such a talent, hitherto lying
dormant and unsuspected. In any
case, all members would at least
find out far -themselves the work
entailed in marking a quilt and
thus have a better appreciation of
the work done by others.
What applies to quilts' is true of
other club activities. A refreshment
convener might outline her work in
that direction, telling her fellow
members how she arranges after-
noon tea for each meeting and
what preparations are made for a
banquet,
A program convener could give
* good outline of the work neces-
sary to arrange programs for the
year, and the finance convener
might give her end of the story.
Not the final result -- everyone
eventually knows that - but the
spade work that is necessary be,
fare any result can be achieved. let
other words, an education in com-
mittee activities should help a lot
to replace members whose help is
no longer available. And it would
certainly lead to a much better ap-
preciation of the work done by our
leaders and conveners.
