The Huron Expositor, 1964-04-09, Page 7By 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
•,s./ court's record
of turning
down every
single com-
plaint of this
•nature since
Canada's new
obscenity law
went into ef-
fect. four years
ago.
• Ray Argyle The deci-
sions, howev-
ever, have not deterred local
authorities f r o m continuing
their efforts to deprive the pub-
lic of publications or motion
pictures which they think
should be suppressed.
In Alberta and Saskatchewan,
for instance, the entire adult
population has been deprived
qf the •privilege of enjoying
what is probably the finest mo-
tion picture of the year, TomJones. Jones.
In Toronto, a local magistrate
has ruled the 18th -century clas-
sic, Fanny Hills, 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 mis-
guided 19 year :old •Ontario
youth.

In the case of the Tom Jones
movie, the distributing com-
pany refused to cut sections
which provincial authorities had
regarded as obscene and decid-
-ed just not to show the movie
in either Saskatchewan or Al-
berta.
In -view of the Supreme
Court's consistent retisal to
accept obscenity changes under
our existing laws, one must
wonder why various local auth-
orities across' the country con-
tinue to press for convictions of
this type.
Seldom, if ever, do such
authorities enjoy • any general
public support in their efforts
to decide on their own what is
• 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 • interests of bootleg-
gers.
This is the kind of "morality','
we can do without.

Laws relating to morality and 'Harry ,Coates - RR 1, Centralia
censorship are probably among Clayton Harris - - Mitchell
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 attitures and stand-
ards, based on a more realis-
tic 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.
