WHITBY FREE PRESS,,THURSDAY, JUNE 28,1973, PAGE 15 KALNINSý ON PORNOGRA PHY Portiograph ' is a dirty word. -Riglbt? 1I say, wroîîg. At one tiinte you couldn't eveit mention the word sex. Oh boy, it was a dirty word alright. And who could ever discuss prostitution, abortion, and honiosexuality without raising an eyebrow? Today, these subjects are freely aired on radio, television and in sù-called famnily newspapers like the Torontto, Daily Star or the Globe and Mail. The reason l'ni writing today's column -on porîîograplîy is because not long ago a Toronto newspaper featured a. series of articles on titis delicate if nlot somnewhat uinfailiiar subject. lThe newspaper liad spent thousands of dollars to find out wiîy- people are interested ini pornography. For heaven's sake, I could have toid theni the pertinent facts about 'Porno' busiiîess-free of charge. There is no doubt ini niy mind that we have touclbed only the tip of the iceberg as far as porilography goes. Canada is way beind other countries ii titis field. Taike for instan ce,. Deniark or Holiand. There the 'porno' business s legal. Antd no one lias been hutrt by the booniîtg trend. Legai brains say the pornography lias hielped to stanmp out -petty erinae and sexual assauits on young feniaies. Ini otiter words, pornography is good for people. Unfortunateiy, we take a different view ini this country. We shout and holler as -soon as somlebody is trying to openl a sex shop or launcit a 'blue movie' theatre. In Toronto, there are about ten mini-cinemas specializiîîg ini skin flicks. They try bard to show somne of tîte Danish goodies to our boys, but the Almighty Law says : Oh no, you can't do this; you can't do tîtat. In fact, they are saying-we are the censors; we are tite guardians of todays morals. Tbe Morality Squad knows best. This hias created a new and interesting situation, 1 cali it a cat-and-mouse gaine betweerî cops and theatre operators. The latter are aiways weil informed ini advance about possible raids. One Sunday afternoon 1 was watclîing a 'Nlue movie.' A caîl came througli to tite theatre manager. "I-iel>o, whios tlîis?" lie aslied, pickîing up the phone in the back roont. The voice at the otîter end of the Uine could be heard *oud anîd clear: "If you see two gnys witlt black wiîîdbreak- ers, ask for the mentbership card, anîd for petes sake don't show the liard stuff. About liaîf ant bour later tite cops arrived. 'Needless to say, they couidît't produce the mernbershiip card. But, at the saine time tlîey didn't waîît to -admit they were senît to titis place by the inspectô r of the Morality Squad. Furtîter, l'nî told, the M Squad is very busy on1 weekerîds. lthat's the tinte wlien nîany tourists visit Toronto and are aîixious to speîîd titeir extra pocket ioIicy oit skin flicks. Most of the sex mnovies you se0on Yonge Street are teasers of sorte sort, bust with a littie bit of huck you miglît be able to see a sizzliîîg'hard-core porîtographic movie. In New York, the story is differeîtt-everything is wide open, evet oit a Sunday. But liere: stever uever oit a Stnday. However, I presurne, that itot it the too distant future Toronto lie Good wiil chtange its image for tîte better or worse, ail depending on wilîi side of the feitce you ike to be.
