Censorship
Sir, — I would like to correct W. R. Soloman, (“The Press,” January 26) on two errors in his letter. The rather active minority group to which he refers is one of the largest societies in the country and represents the majority of stable family concern at the gross irresponsibility and indulgence being forced upon the public. Second, those who advocate removal of censorship from books also want it for films. Next follows sexual practices and, as we see tak-
ing place all over New Zealand, crime, violence, vandalism, graft, corruption, pilfering and exploitation of all kinds in epidemic proportions. If people want to live without restraint, they go somewhere else where they can live as they please without considering the welfare of others. — Yours, etc., NEVILLE M. RUSH. Chairman,
Canterbury Branch, Society for Promotion of Community Standards.
January 26, 1979
