Can We Halt Pornoqrophy?

The reformers have been
trying to define the word
smut for many years. II isn't
easy. ! have seen prissy old
ladies recoil from q nude
statue in q park. On occa-
sion. I have seen the Supreme
Court Of the United States
clear q book which I felt was
inexcuSably dirty.
THERE ARE LAWS on the
books Of most municipalities
and States regarding the pub
lication and dissemination Of
filth and, so far as I have
been able to determine, none
stands up under appeal.
1t is as impossible to de-
fine evil as 1t Is to define
good. Everything depends
upon the mentality Of the
beholder. In the early 1930S.
the United States Govern
ment tried to ban James
Joyce's Ulysses" It con-
tanned some pretty sexy stun
and lots Of four-letter words.
But, unless my memory is
poor, Federal Judge Wool
sey found nothing in 1t con-
trary to the laws Of the
United States, and okayed
the book.
The publishers were 50
elated that they used the
judges opinion as q preface.
Let's face 1t: Ulysses" Is art.
Therefore. the millions Of us
who like to read are hemmed
in by blue-nose reformers on
the one side. and flame brain
writer's on the other.
The victory Of dirt over
cleanliness is so sweeping
that. in recent years, the
smut writer's have been en-
couraged to move deeper and
deeper into the gutter. Sex
sells. A decade ago, when /
edited two-bit books, one Of
my bosses would not okay q
cover for Q dictionary unless
it depicted q half dressed girl
reclining. and the shadow Of
Q man over her.

twitching his lips, will SELL"

Next time you bite into q
luscious big red apple, thank
the Lord you're not an apple
grower.
Here at Hidden Valley
Farm we raise registered Alb
erdeen-AnguS cattle and Q
variety Of apples. In buying
the farm we figured that If
we couldn't make 1t on the
annual Angus calf crop
we'd make it on the apple
crop.
Well, Q strange malady
called pink-eye knocked many
Of our calves out Of the an
nual feeder calf sale. But we
still had our appleS-or more
properly. the apples had US.

As acres Of various varieties.
Apples and sleek black cattle;
what could be sweeter?
Anything else could be
sweeter. Making vinegar, for
example.
Being blissfully ignorant !
threw myself into the spirit
Of apple-growing. ! quickly
Joined an association Of
growers seeking better apple
prices, bought an apple-sizer
q series Of metal rings for
measuring the size Of the
fruit, and asked Billy Smoot,
our foreman, to teach me how
to distinguish one apple tree
from another. Billy said it
would take time, and I
thought I heard him mum
bling something about so
years.
I wanted to tack little la
belS on each Of the trees,
identifying them, but my
wife said this was silly. I still
think it's q good idea.
Anyway, I next learned
with q shock that various
insects, fungi and bacteria
also like apples. And that

chard every week or so with

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Would you say that doctors
are using blood thinners
more than they did, or less?
Mr.. T.. Pennsylvania.
I'D SAY MORE. At first,
the coumarin drugs were
used hesitatingly by doctors
in treating their coronary
patients. Patients received
this treatment only when
they were still in the hospi-
tai recovering from a coro-
nary attack. Later on, treat
ment was extended to pa.
tientS who had already re-
turned to work. They'd come
in for prothrombin tests
every few weeks and their
dosage of coumarin would de-
pend upon the results Of the
tests.
AS Of now, I think that the
use Of these blood thinners
is more widespread. There is
a good reason. Statistics
seem to prove that their use
cuts down on the number Of
complications and prevents,
IN many cases. recurring at
tackS Of thrombosis.
