We are wary of censorship when established by authority, governmental orotherwise. Allowing the dirt to exist is often better than arbitrary control of the producers of information. Sex as a natural part of serious art or science has a place, but there is a difference - and it's not a subjective one between this and blatant com mercial exploitation.

But ' there are - a few in almost every -- store' that appeal only to luridness, phony excitement and the worst possible taste - they constitute commercial exploitation of sex in the worst possible form.

He is president of the Utah Society of Dentistry for Children, a group he helped start In 1960, which sponsors programs of dental health education In the schools of Utah. A closed circuit television program that will have been shown to 170,000 students throughout Utah by its completion, as well as a recently completed film on water fluoridation shown to high school seniors makes up part of his work.

COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS Leonard (Claire) Gardner be substantial, even thrilling, &nd if successful Mrs 6284 Highland Drive this experiment could spread and do considerable good throughout our state and beyond. The challenge is this: To remove this rubbish from the newstands, simply to refuse, adamantly and resolutely to carry it. No ex- pert is required to recognize it,, it blares its vulgarity with large headline and photograph from every cover. We are not discussing obsenity here - thats another subject entirely, what we are talking about is the use of sex and related subjects alone, in a lurid and vulgar manner - to sell The League of Women Voters magazines and books. This is a form of self imposed censorship. It has every advantage over the authoritarian kind' because it is voluntary. The only authority v that can impose it is the responsible citizinery that make up the buying public. We cant impose complete prohibition on this kind of thing - iifs been around aong time and will continue, but if we fail to make the positive effort toward good laiste-i- n 'fthat-- r every way we can, we forfeit our responsibility to our youth and their development.

It is impossible r an unincorporated area to vote on a bond or an odd year If he has lust moved Into the In election special area, even though he may have satisfactory residence qualifications. This Is due to the fact that the Utah General Election Laws permits registration only In even numbered years in unincorporated areas, where there are no municipal .elections. We see no reason why registration at a central office at any fima during the year, up to a reasonable period before an election, is not feasible. This is up to the State Legislature to enact, and should be at the next session. tor a resident of EAST MILL CREEK Mrs. J. D.
