PACE 1EN CENSORSHIP 10 PROTECT GHID Those Under 16 Barred from Movies Unless Film Approved Toronto, March 29.--Special cen- sorship of moving pictures to class- ify the films that are fit to be view- ed by children under the age of16 years, and a measure to prohibit any child, accompanied or unac- companied, from attending a show- ing of pictures not so designated, have been approved by the Legisla- tive Committee on Municipal Law, and will come into effect in a few months' time if finally approved by the House. Such censorship and prohibition were embodied in a bill to amend the Theatres and Cinematographs Act, introduced by Aurellen Belan. ger (Liberal, Russell) before the committee yesterday. Despite strong opposition, the clause partie- ularly making such provisions was carried by a vote of 25 to 18. Board Criticized During - the discussion criticism that the present Board of Censors was lax in its duties was voiced by several members. . The bill proposes changing the age limit at which children may attend a theatre unaccompaniad from 15 to 16 years, and, further, provides for stricter protection and oversight of children in theatres by matrons and attendants. This clause was carried by the commit- tee with a practically unanimous vote. The committee, carrying the whole pill, endorsed a final clause that the act come into force on the day upon which it receives Royal assent. Later J. P. Moore (Con- servative, North London) wonder- ed just how this would affect the movie men. "It will cloes up every matinee," said K. K. Homuth (Conservative, South Waterloo). Usual Sixty Days Mr. Belanger sald he did not object to the usual sixty days elaps- ing before enforcement, and the committee revised its vote to agree to this. The clause that started the real dispute in the committee reads: "A child under the age of 16 years shall not be permitted to attend any exhibition by einemato- graph, moving-pieture machine or other similar apparatus for admis- sion to which a fee is charged at which is or are exhibited any film or films which have not been stamped by the Board of Censors as being permitted to be exhibited to children." Mr. Belanger, introducing the bill, maintained that some legisla- tion was needed to protect the children of the Province against the influence of the films being shown today. He was not favoring any particular censorship of pie- tures viewed by adults. "Parents", said he, "have a right to look to this Legislature for protection against films which might work harm to their children, What I ob. ject to especially is that particu- lar vision of life given to our chil- dren by these films. Some of these films are nothing but gunplay, where the hero puts his hand in THOUSANDS FOLLOW U.S, GIRL, JOIN. ING HINDU RELIGION, IS REPORT London, Mar. 29.--More than 8,000 Christians and Moslems are reported to hmve been gathered into the Hindu fold in the last week in a wave of enthusiasm fol- lowing the conversion of the form- er Nancy Ann Miller, say dis- patches from Bombay, The wave was not restricted to one province, but spread through- out the nation, The largest num- ber of conversions were made in Portuguese Goa where 4,000 em- braced Hinduism while in the Khandesh district near Nasik, the scene of Miss Miller's {initiation into her husband's religion, 700 fishermen were converted under the direct auspices of the Hindu Priest who converted the American girl, A large number of mew Hindu missions are being organized. An echo of Miss Miller's hus- band's earlier adventures was heard in the Amritsar court when the daneing girl Mumtaz Begumnr was granted a search warrant against her hushand, Abdul Rah- man for the recovery of ornaments presented to her by the former Maharaja of Indore who lost his throne because of her and a mil- lionaire merchant, who lost his life.

Blamed for Crime "Crime today is being carried on chiefly by the youth under 20 years of age, and I believe the moving pictures, through their in- fluence, have to a great extent brought about this situation." T. A. Thompson (Conservative, North Lanark) protested the bill, "We are," said he, "loading our- selves up with legislation along this line. I submit that pictures which are not fit for children are not fit for adults. What we want is more careful supervision of the pictures." Mr. Homuth maintained that leg- islation to govern the conduct of children and parents was being carried to the extreme. The Prov- ince had been busy passing it for the past eleven years. "Today," said he, "we have juvenile courts which result in many children he- ing haled before the court for some actions which a few years ago had been considered childish pranks. Parent "Surely," parent is the his children should sce they should not see." "There has heen a lot of talk," sald A. C. Calder (Conservative, West Kent) "about the Hawkers and Peddlers Bill. But if we are not prepared to take care of the youth of our country first there is little use of our taking care of our trade. I am entirely in favor of the bill, We are spending large sums of money today on our schools and much time in working out the most advantageous system of education, yet many of the films seen in our theatres are offsetting completely the work' of those schools." "The censors.are not doing their duty," declared Dr. Paul Poisson (Conservative, North Essex). 'Let this committee let the censors know that they are not satisfied with the kind of fiims being shown the children in Ontario, Why shouldn't every film shown in On- tario be fit for children?" It has been suggested that he proposals would affect the purses of the movie men, "We are not here," Dr. Poisson declared, *'to make money for the men who make films, but to look after our chil- dren." us Best Judge he emphasized, best judge of and "the what what Against Gunplay I'. G. McBrien (Conservative, 10 ronto-Brockton) opposed the bill, on the ground that it would create two classes of censorship. But he liked the moral principle of the bill and would like to see gunplay cut out of every picture. "I don't believe any theatre should operate unless the films are fit to he seen by children," he added. "But there are lots worse places for our chil- dren than the theatres." "Children of 14 and 15 go to high school and read Shakespeare and other works that contain pass- ages unfit for juvenile eyes," Mr. Homuth pointed out. "It's all expurgated," Mr. Calder. "Certainly not," retorted Mr. Homuth. "They read stuff that is ngt fit for themr, and they take meaning out of what they read." Too Many Laws Hon. Joseph Thompson (Conser- vative, Toronto-St. David) felt that the contentious clause might well be held over for another year. He thought there was a tendency to place too much legislation oa the statute books. "I think," said he, protested "that we might safely have a ses- | sion, not to pass new legislation, but to take half the legislation off he books." Leopold Maculay (Conservative, 'outh York) thought that before ny arbitrary measure was adopted there should be some representa- tion before the committee from the people affected.
