Erii►t et fnfflawt Want pornography out of the stores BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE "Not aLove Story" is shocking, disturb- ing, enraging and at times nauseating in its depiction of sexual abuses against women. ViWed at a private screening in St. Marys, on July 7 with over 85 people in " attendance, "Not a Love Story", is a film about pornography. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, the film centres around a young, female stripper, who along with an interviewer, witness pornography in its different aspects. . The message that comes through loud and clear is that this material degrades those involved. One actor who had perform-, ed in stag films was interviewed for the NFB production. He states he no longer acts in such films because women are portrayed in a degrading manner. When asked if he felt degraded in the films he said "no", that as a man he acted the "macho" type. , Violence against women is heavily documented in "Not a Love Story". In some the women are either bound and gagged or appear to like what is happening to them during the atrocities performed on their bodies. In order to get insight into the women who participate in pornography, one young woman who performs live sex acts was interviewed. To her it was not wrong as she had been raised by her prostitute mother and watching sex being performed was not out of the Ordinary. Pornography has come a long way from its origin in the 1950s when Playboy entered the scene showing bare breasts. Today in the 1900s, the showing of bare breasts is mild. In fact David Bonner, morals. and values consultant with the Perth Board of Education, who has toured the Ontario Censor Board in Toronto, commented that scenes shown in the film are "mild" compared to some of the films presented to OCB. The problem, according to the Canadian Coalition Against Media Pornography (CCAMP) is that the law is vague and has not keptpace with the trend in porno- graphy. The Criminal Code of Canada states there must be "undue exploitation of sex, or of sex and any one or more of the following subjects, namely crime, horror, cruelty and violence" before anything is considered obscene. "The definition (in the Criminal Code) was drawn up in the 50's when the worst pornography on the market was like the mildest present day publications. Now society is dealing with sado-masochism, women being subjected to various painful acts and loving the pain, anda prevalence of rape scenes. The law clearly is not adequate," states CCAMP. For a definition of pornography, Donal O'Connor, editor of the St. Marys Journal - Argus and one pf a six -member panel speaking at the screening, said" he found a definition he considers accurate. Porno- graphy is"verbal or pictoral material which represents or describes sexual behavior that is degrading or abusive to one or more of the participants in such a way as to endorse the degration." Margaret developed "a McBride Marys, kind of rage" after having seen the film earlier this year, brought the film to the town and organized the panel of area residents representing a range of occupations from farming to education. There were over 85 people in attendance at the screening and Ms. McBride said she was "thrilled" with the turnout. Her initial objective in showing the film was to "heighten the awareness of pornography within the community". But audience reaction went beyond that. One man asked what individuals could do to erase pornography from society. Ms. McBride wants testae a lobby group in St. Marys. Although it is not 42nd Street in New York, St. Marys, like many small urban centres across Canada, does have pornography she indicated. Ms. McBride emphasized this as she read some titles from a list of 72 pornographic periodicals she found in one store in town. She wants these books removed from the stores,yy' especially out of the reach of children. The St. Marys woman also suggested indiv,iduais write to their local member of parliament, federal minister of comnrunications Francis Fox, the CRTC - all in Ottawa - and the Canadian Film Development Corporation in Montreal. "Vye have to start writing letters," said Ms. ,McBride, adding individuals can no longer pretend the situation doesn't exist.

Walton expects to be among the five persons invited from London Conference of The United Church of Canada who have been accorded accredi- ted visitor status. Daily visi- tors, observers. and the press will be present and the group is expected to swell to over 3.000. The Theme of The seven years. Assembly is "Jesus Chrisf- The Life of the World." In practice, the WCC is not some kind of super church, but an organization of church- es --from very different politi- cal, economic and social back- grounds ---committed "to the search fpr -an expression of visible unity and obedience through theological study, common encounter, witness and service." Anglicans. Orthodox, Bap- tists, Reformed, Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, United Church of Canada. and people from many other churches belong to the WCC. The Roman Catholic Church is not yet a member. but is officially represented o Awe WCC commissions an as cooperated in several '1joint ventures in the past few years.
