A strong denunciation o! the Board o! Film Censors featured thdý address o! Oscar N. Hanson, Tor- onto, managing director o! the As- sociated Theatres Linited, in hîs ad- dress lie!ore the Bowmanville Rotary Club on Friday. The present system o! film censoship, lie stated, was injurious to the filmi business. It was in fact something o! a farce for these censors to sit daily reviewing films, and telling the public wliat they must like and what they must dislike. If these things were censor- ed because they aliected the public morals to any extent then the cen- sors must o! necessity lie badly de- moralized by constant viewing o! filmns that needed censoring. The speaker was introduced by Tommy Ross, manager o! the Royal Theatre, and a member o! Associat- ed Theatres Lixited. Another guest at the luncheon was Mayor Ernie Marks of Oshiawa, the president o! this organization. "I have been a student o! the mo- tion picture lndustry for 16 years, the speaker said lu lis opening e- marks, but I must admit tliat this industry of which we are ail proud is lu a bad state, but nevetlieless still a great business." Hundreds o! thousanda o! people daily see the products o! the indus- try and lit was to these people that the producers and distributors must cater. The industry started n poor halls ai 5 cents a seat but it lias seen a great development. The f ist men in the industry weme anythlng but motion picture experts. They came f rom every walk o! lil e and whlle it was oten chamged that the lndustry was started by men of low mentallty and moralty yet it lias become the fourili ndustry o! the continent today. The industry was apparently makîng great strides un- til the advent o! the talkies when Wall Street became lnterested and Invested millions o! dollars in it. Before the advent o! the talkies the clnema-goer saw the picture and lmaglned wliat was sald by those acting in 1, but taday tliey really know what is saîd, and it is liere that the Board o!

Religion in a Changing World was Subject of Trinity College Lecturer Dr. T. Stannage Boyle of te Cobourg Delivered En- b hi lightening Address Be- ti fore Womnen's Canadian ,r Club in the Parish Hlall on t Monday. t -Religion ini this Modern World" t was the subject of an intensely mov- r ing aclcress by tliat noted Canadian scholar, Rev. Dr. T. S. Boyle, Rector of St. Peter's Church o! Cobourg, at 1 the regular meeting of the Women's Canadian Club in the Parish Hall on Monday aiternoon. Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, presicdent, presided and intro- duced the speaker. Religion in this Modern World was a very difficuit subi ect on whichC to base a discussion, the speaker stated. Most o! us have very Con- torted ideas of religion today, mainlya because o! tlie religious articles we read in papers and magazines. In many cases these articles were writ- i ten by extremists on both sides withe the resuit that nearly every view is 1 over estimated. As the speaker pic- tured it. tlie Cliristian world today presented a very dark picture. Thereî was neyer an age, he said, when there was more uncertainty about the basic belief s of religion than to-r day. Tlie reason for this is the re- ligious f reedom that we now enjoy.I Centuries ago people believed ev- erything they were told and it was constituted a crime to consider re- ligion as a matter for thought among the lay people. Today, the young people, wvho the speaker stated lie had no f ear for at ail, were brought up on a very diff erent system to that used in lis boyhood days. There was not near as mucli prohibiting in tlie home. Then came the war and the young people took an active part in this. and whle they are today in many cases fathers and mothers, their eyes were opened during that perlod and they now see the value o! more f reedom o! speech and of activities in l! e. He admitted that tlie younger generation are restive. but followlng a great war and through a period of depression they were bound to lie so. In f act, there would lie reason to fear f or their welfare if they were other than res- tive. Wihen one talks o! religion In a rmodem world, tliey must flrst real- Ize that at one time the churcli was paramount. but that day has passed away for ever and for good. Today there was a different feeling. In the old days, the young people consîder- ed the saylng "Tliey say IV" was ail that was necessary. The minîster sald It was riglit, therefore It mnust be riglit. There liaa corne a timne however when manklnd does flot lis- ti en to the voice o! authority. He 9 begins to ask and to f ind out for t himself the reasons f or doing then things that he is expected to do. r Outside o! the Roman churcli the speakers knew of no churcli where e, the minister could demand and re- . ceive obedience against the wilofc the people. No voice spealis witli a finality.b He outlined the many changesp liat had taken place ini the world, inr nany cases altering the facts asb (Contlnued on page 4) V COMING EVENTS a Try ]Bowinanville stores f irst.
