thai acton fr prats wednesday september 17 vo9 news and views by lorraine lul winter i tat in on one or two heavy discussions on the pros and coj of how or even whether debate literature falling into the hand o young teenagvre waj a detriment or not odjiy enough although there were many parents who fell that all stand eeiling illicit literature thould be cloud down there were even more intelligently thinking people who did hot agree and who felt that arty printed matter regardless at iu basic theme waa good just keep theru reading tome parents taid and with their thinking power increaied they will lean to differential between good classical compositions or whatever and the crumbier novel which mutt be being produced it million a minute now because i believe in openmindednex in mott anas i was inclined to go along with these latter parents i certainly can tee a great deal of good humour in certain comic book character the topical mad migailrtet have some very poignant humour and a little ten couldnt hurt anyone hopefully the kds would be bored and ikjp over theee parti anyway but my tummer thtt year wai a laxy one and during one of my run out perioda of reading material i jumped kilo my truaty little jalopy and visited a renegade book ttand which sells dirty booka the badly printed dirty book tlgn wai supposedly an enticement 1st leaser uteratet but actually it simply meant what ii laid the teconmtand books were tolled but amongst the scruffy coven wai torn good leading however because it wai summer and languishing in the tun reading something heavy b not elweyi the nil it thing to do i found myself investing in two paper backi with a couple of nude beautifully illustrated on the front thii particular type of wrapping doesnt bother people anymore and the old adage you cant judge a book from in cover doei ting true nowadeyi in matty cases some of the moat innocent and exciting piece of writing it artfully disguised by a voluptuous female esconced on the cover and until one fat happily involved in reading something quite good does he realise that he his been hooked by just another glamorous cover gal but dont let yourself be fooled sometinei the old reverse psychology is at work again and unless you are really an adept judge you can be hoodwinked into some pretty dreadful material the booka which i purchased were two of the most horribly grim specimens of garbage written by a depraved human i have ever come upon after scanning quickly i am how convinced that if any one should fall into the lowly state of perusing that kind of literature over a long period of time he or she would gradually become something less than fine there li just no way that a young susceptible teenager could not become at least mildly perverted with a steady diet of such material and no longer do i accept any theories as to mind over matter because its too unfair and too much to ask that we should not be influenced by what we read granted good literature in any home will give a general background of intelligent thinking but we mutt realiie that the teenage years require good healthy approaches to lifes experiences and that the very callousness of youth alone makes them susceptible to innumerable iniluencet if we accept this we must alto understand that overexposure to poor literature could have very bad affection those children whose parents are unable to produce good books for them to read i burned the two purchased novels only one of which i had scannlly completed and the other glanced through my ear curling in the mere consideration that i should find them readable i visited the little old lady with the sweet face who had sold them to me and asked if she had perchance read them oh my goodness no she said i never look at any of those books i sell but they are a wonderful sideline such is the way of things books written by the mentally corrupt published by the illicit and read by the innocent and in a world where already too many things are confusing for too many people how can we hope to deter evil if we allow it to continue somebody thould examine more closely and something should be done about public condoning of ugly material or else too many wonderful young minds can be sidetracked etiia ii it aaeaaiaitl m af bowl for plkgur frbowl for hmlth 9 rf involved in vill stewart s roy age many years ce
