Show Orem-Geneva Times Thursdav.Julv30,1970 THE VIEWS expressed inthis column or any previous column are "Upseof the-author, Mr. Williams, and not necessarily th6sfcrof the Orem-Geneva Times management. On a quiet Saturday evening (July 25) in downtown Provo, a group of the silent majority citizens ranging in age from 18 to 68 voiced their protest of a certain kind of 'pollution" playing play-ing at the Academy Theater. This 'pollution" was the so-called so-called X-rated motion picture "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." The group of 25 demonstrators gathered on the sidewalk, coming from Provo, Orem, and Spring-ville Spring-ville and were organized by the Utah County Citizens for Decent Literature and Better Movies. For all of them, including this writer, it was a "first." None of the group had ever picketed anything before in his life. But they were convinced that the showing of pornigraphic and obscene movies were not con- tributing to the good welfare of the valley. The hour-long vigil challenged the thoughts of people driving by in cars as well as those walking on the sidewalks in the downtown area. Some of the signs read as follows: "Take Her to One You'll be Proud of," "You Can Help By Not Attending," "Hollywood: Keep Your Own Garbage in Your Own. Back Yard," "This Kind of Pollution Pol-lution Does Not Make Our Valley Val-ley Happy," "This Movie Is Sick, Sick, Sick," "Save Your Money and Your Mind," "This Movie Is Not Acceptable for Any Age," etc. The 20 signs brought various reactions. As some people drove by the theater, many applauded the action-others made snide remarks. But most were supportive. A group of young hippie-types gathered for some time to harass the demonstrators but the "silent majority" held their own mostly by being silent. This movie is many times worse than the movie "Candy which was legally removed from the theater but was not put on a jury trial because of negotiations between the theater chain and the county attorney. What can be done "legally" is always a point in question-even question-even among lawyers. But since the movie industry lllCTrv came out witn "their system, it has taken movies on a downhill race. Before the so-called so-called rating system was established, estab-lished, America was not plagued with such filthy trash. And since the rating system became a practice, the filthy minds in Hollywood have done their very best to produce X and R rated movies for adults. Certainly a jury would have no difficulty in deciding (at least around this area) that the X-rated X-rated movie especially is not fit for adult consumption. It's a tragedy in a major industry in-dustry in the United States. Adults love to see good movies. Sow w Chevelle147 less than our previous lowest priced hardtop. America's most popular mid-size car is now the lowest priced mid-size hardtop. That's a fact. No matter what others may claim. And here's another fact. Right now your Chevy dealer is on Chevrolet Savings Time. Great clearance deals on the Chevelle of your choice. Top trade-in dollars on your present car. It's like saving money on the best. And how can you beat that? " " " Clearance savings now. But they are certainly out of the habit of going. A tremendous gap of mistrust has been built up over the past several years. And adults especially es-pecially don't like to be "taken" on a cat-in-the-bag type of show where it is heavily advertised as a great one and it actually isn't. The movie "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was produced by Russ Meyers, known throughout the movie industry as "the king, of the nudies." And he continues con-tinues in his crowning glory in this picture of sprinkling both men and women in the nude. After showing in a story filled, with incest, drugs, homosexual ity, and all of the sickness of Hollywood-type parties the movie has a horrifying and bloody endingfollowed by a narrator recapping by a flashback tech- nique what each of these major characters learned in life. It was such a "moral ending that the audience laughed aloud at its ridiculousness, What will it take to teach Hollywood and the movie makers that the great country of Amer- ica deserves a better movie "en- tertainment" fare than it has? 1971 Wheat Referendum Postponed Secretary of Agriculture Clifford Clif-ford M. Hardin, has announced , postponement of the national wheat referendum previously : scheduled for July 27-31, according accord-ing to Claude Hunting, Chairman ' of the Utah County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, the action was authorized by Congress. The postponement permits the USDA to delay holding the referendum ref-erendum not later than October 15, 1970, or 30 days after Congress Con-gress adjourns, whichever date is earlier. Accordingly, the U.S. Department Depart-ment of Agriculture's ASCS, which administers the wheat, feed . i . i instructed its State and county offices across the nation to withhold with-hold ballots and other referendum referen-dum materials, Mr. Hunting said. The chairman explained that basic farm legislation requires a referendum for wheat marketing market-ing quotas. However, the Agricultural Agri-cultural Act of 1965 suspended this referendum requirement from 1965 through the 1970 crop year. Unless new farm legislation, legis-lation, now pending, is enacted by the Congress, basic legislation legis-lation will again go into effect, and a referendum will then be required in 1970 for the 1971 crop years. sum surest!

I have recently had called to my attention the second para- Kiauu m-w luc VUUl bined statutes of the State of Utah as passed by one of the recent sessions of the Legislature which provides as follows: ' "Be is further provided that all seines, guns, nets, tackles, powder, explosives, lime, poison, drugs, chemicals, shocking devices, de-vices, traps and snares used for or in the unlawful taking of furs, fish or game of any kind found in the possession of or used by any person unlawfully taking or transporting furs, fish or game of any kind, shall be seized by the officers making the arrest, and upon a finding by the court that they were used in the un- Nova $159 less making it the lowest priced Chevy.

But you better hurry, because he's now offering summer clearance deals on all new Novas in stock. On top of that great $ 1 59 price reduction and dealer clearance savings, you get all the things those small cars can't give you. Like room for five people. Nova. Our top saver.

You will note from this provision pro-vision of the law that where a person is found to be illegally taking game, which is hunting out or fishing out of season or in violation of one of the other laws regulating the taking iof game, the equipment used to take this game is required to be seized by the arresting officer, and the Judge, upondeterminging that the person charged with this illegal taking of game is guilty, is required to allow the seized fishing or hunting equipment to be subsequently sold at public auction. It is auite likely that MARK OF EXCELUM3 u omnia, and after completion it is estimated that the Stakes will spend $250,000 in construction of a lodge and other facilities. In the lower left corner is one of the cabins used as a sleeping place in which 12-16 girls can sleep. At the present time, 4 cabins are completed and it is hoped that 16 will be ready to use next year. The girls who don't sleep inthe cabins, camp out in tents. Last week the Sharon Stake was camping at Girls' Camp, and the Orem Stake girls are there now. many of our young people and many of our parents do not realize real-ize that a boy taking game of fishing illegally may lose a gun or fishing equipment that he is found to be using illegally. Sometimes this might even cause hardship as where a boy was recently found guilty of taking game and the gun he was using was a special keepsake gun belonging be-longing to his father. We hope that" all parents' who read this will caution their children child-ren about this extra penalty that the law provides for hunting and taking fish and game out of season. You will note from the language lan-guage of the law above noted that the Judge does not have any discretion to relieve a youngster from the penalty provided in this law but the loss of the firearm or piece of equipment follows automatically from the convic- tion.
