The} highest court said there were too many different stand- ards on these questions. — Although this decision once again upsets the cen-| sors, the court has not yet ruled that all censorship of| motion pictures, prior to public showing, is unconstitu-| tional, That is what plaintiffs bringing recent cases had hoped for. : ] The main contention in this argument is that the| constitutional right of free speech and a free press bar any pre-showing censorship of motion pictures, just as it| who bans any censorship of speech and news reporter, The| be 50 basis of this argument is that movies which are either|"*V" Wms © be 65. obscene or which violate the laws of the country can be hailed into court, only after the act of a public showing i has been committed, printed and which are not subject to pre-publication censorship or bans of news. This is a strong argument and one which the court will eventually have to pass upon. We suspect that, when the time comes, the high- est court will find that a pre-showing censorship, or pre- showing ban, of moving pictures is unconstitutional. life at 50, looking and forward: “Thirty-five is a We propose a club to abolish clubs.

Just at present, the whole world is in a topsy-turvey condition. Few of us have time to sit down and work out a proper philosophy of life. Much of what we call “im- morality” today is really just an expression of fear, insecurity, and a desire to fool one’s Ego into thinking that it is living the best ‘of lives. ‘Monroe County Beach A reader friend called up the other day and asked if “This Rock” would put in a plug for Joe Allen and the fine work he has one out on Monroe County Beach. He especially mentioned the picnic tables. . “However,” he said, “isn't there someway that more of these tables can be secured? The beach is jammed on Sundays and the facil- ities out there simply are not ade- quate to handle the crowds.” This column agrees.
