AT THE OTHER EXTREME

AT The OTHER EXTREME
are those who reject not only
political censorship but every
form of film control, even
that of the industry's own
Production Code Authority.
What is our position at the
National Legion Of Decency?
Simply stated, the legion's
policy holds for a minimum
of legal restraint and a maxi
mum of individual RESPONSE
bility.
ITO curb less rather than
more to hold for liberty rath-
er than for restraint" is the
principle to which the US.
juridicial system has been
rightly dedicated from the
beginning.
Those who would like to
see more restrictive laws cur
failing the freedom of the
mott on picture industry
should bear in mind that this
principle of animal restraint
serves to safeguard the heri-
tage of all our vital freedoms.
YET, THERE MUST be
some outside control Of the
motion picture industry-the
control by the patron.
In a free society the ma
ture citizen will recognize
that his freedom carries with
it the personal responsibility
of his own individual control
over the film industry. Only
the half-hearted will ask the
state to accomplish the task
which they as parents and
citizens should be doing.
In other words, in our free
society a ticket at the box
office is a vote for good or
bad films.
Mature and intelligent Sc
lection of films to attend,
however, requires some in
formation. The principal func-
ton of the National Legion
of Decency is to provide such
information.

LEGION nEEEns

THE LEGION OFFERS q
moral evaluation Of films
just as the patrons favorite
motion picture critic gives
him an artistic and entertain
ment evaluation.
The central and national
office of the legion is locat-
ed in New York City. Since
the legion is a non-profit or
ganization, it relies upon the
gratis services Of a large
staff Of reviewers. Some Of
these reviewers are members
of the clergy, but most Of
them are laymen and laywom-
en-.
THE LEGION REVIEWS
films either in the th~eaters,
which is the case with most
foreign films, or in the
screening rooms of the Amer.
lean film companies at the
invitation of these companies.
In all cases, the legion
views only the finished film
product. In no case will the
legion agree to read scripts
with a view to censoring or
otherwise criticizing them.
Films are rated either as
morally acceptable Or as
morally Objectionable. Accep-
table films are further dis
tinguished into three cate
gories, namely, those which
are acceptable either for the
family or for adults and ado
lescents or only for adults.
The legion also gives a spe-
cial recommendation to films
outstanding for their moral,
artistic and entertainment
values.
THESE FILM RATINGS are
published in most Catholic
newspapers and by the legion
every two weeks. The legion's
bi-weekly service of film-rat-
ing Information is available
to anyone for q nominal fee
to cover printing and postage
expenses.

is CONTROL NEEDED?
Good Films Must Receive Support

I'D. Note: How serious is
the need for control over
movies today? What type of
controls should there be?
Following are some an.
swers to these and other
widely debated questions
abouf film from the execu-
tive secretary of The Nation
al Legion of Deeency.
BY Msgr. Thomas F. Little
There are good films
and there are bad films.
Yet the sad truth is that
not all of the good films
have received the public
support at the box office
which their own excellence
warranted.
While the public was de-
crying Hollywood's so-called
preoccupation with sex and
violence" a Landowners"
was weak at the box office,
a Sunrise at Campobello"
was dying and a glorious
Same Frank" was long since
buried by the American thea
ter-goer.
AND THERE ARE BAD
FILMS. Some are bad in the
sense of being trash as en-
tertainment - such as the
rash of "spear and sandal
epics with which we have
been recently deluged.
Others are bad in a much
more serious vein - they
they are bad socially, They
are the so-called sick" films,
the so-called adult dramas
which have been conceived
by juveniles and heavily sold
to adolescents.
Or they are the cycle of
films which have g~lamorized
and all but cannonized the
lady Of easy virtue with the
heart of gold.
THE SAD TRUTH is that

talns offices in Washington, D.

nation among the states: it

public, according to Charles Bus
cher, executive secretary of the
national body.
At the recent New Orleans

eS unanimously endorsed the
code Of ethics controlling gifts

Scholarship Fund Appeal
Headed By Abbitt, Tuck
80 Prominent
Virginians In
Advisory Group

Members of an advisory COM
mittee of 80 prominent Vir-
ginians. which will raise funds
to help where needed with tu-
ition charges made by the
Prince Edward School Foun-
dalton, held their first planning
session at Richmond Sunday.
Congressman Watkins M. Abb
bitt and William M. Tuck have
agreed to head up the commit
tee, which includes Is members
of the Virginia Legislature, bust
nessmen and attorneys.
In preliminary announce
ment of the formation of the ad-
visory group, made from Farm
vile Friday, the two leaders
said a statewide appeal will be
launched. A goal Of $500, 900 has
been set.
They said that the group will
assist the Prince Edward School
Foundation in an advisory ca
pacity. Their joint announce
ment stated:
Assistance Planned
approximately half of the
Foundations 1862 900 operating
budget this year will be met by
parents able and expected to
pay tuition charges in full. But
many other parents of students
in the system of 1880 pupils
need financial assistance.
Two weeks before opening of
the present school term, Prince
Edward county was enjoined by
federal court action from max
ing scholarship grants from
country funds. This came after
the county tax levy had been
set sufficiently high to provide
scholarships for all children,
white and Negro. Patrons of the
Foundation must now pay both
the higher tax levy for which
they get nothing for schools and
the tuition charges.
The same federal court order
places a prohibition on the use
of state scholarship aid to
Prince Edward families for pli-
vate schooling SO long as public
schools in the county remain
closed.

ing the salaries of IS teachers

manning in the 74,OOO-acre pro-
ject. Only six more easements
are needed. a drop of two from
the eight last reported.
New easements have been OBJ
tanned for the structures at dam
sites three and four. Dam site
three is now cleared, but since it
is tied in as a unit with number
four, construction cannot begin
until four is cleared. Three more
easements are needed at site
four.
Site five has been cleared but
it is tied in with sites six and
seven, and one more easement
is needed at both. Dam site eight
is clear, but one easement at
site nine, the two being a unit,
is holding up the works.
H. E. Lacy. work unit soil

hopes his office will be able
in the very near future to clear
to obtain additional easements

of other dams in the coming
year.

event.
