Concerned Citizens
still trying to ban
books from schools
Concerned taxpayers from Goderich, Clinton, Bayfield,
Kingsbridge, Blyth, Auburn, Dungannon, and Holmesville
attended a meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Kaptein in Bayfield on Tuesday evening, July 25 to discuss
the next steps to be taken regarding the usage of immoral
books in the high schools in Huron County.
Lloyd Barth opened the meeting with prayer. Each one was
asked to introduce him or herself and give his occupation. The
named decided on for the group was "Concerned Citizens"
with president, Mr. Lloyd Barth, R. R. 3 Blyth and the
secretary treasurer, Mr. Ernest Sherwood, R. R. 5 Goderich.
Spokesman for the group is Mr. Art Haverkamp, R. R. 5
Clinton.
An outline of what has already been done was given and
conversation followed as to the next steps to be taken.
It was stressed that every weekly newspaper in Huron
County was contacted and given excerpts word for word from
three books which the weekly newspapers declined to print.
The opinion of the members at this meeting was, "If this
material is too vulgar to put in a public newspaper, then what
right has it to be taught to the young people in high school?"
Discussion followed on the meeting held in the Clinton
Secondary School on Tuesday, June 13 with the members of
the Writer's Guild defending the books and the biased
reporting of this meeting that appeared in all the weekly
newspapers. President, Lloyd Barth stated that "not ounting
the members of the Writer's Guild, not counting the school
teachers and the members of the school board, but counting
only the taxpaying parents of Huron County there were
approximately 80% at this meeting in favour of having these
books taken out of the high schools. The question asked at the
meeting was "Why was only One side of this public meeting
reported on?"
Mrs. Kaptein was thanked for giving the use of her
beautiful home for the meeting. A dainty lunch was served by
the hostess.
