Instead, he said, they should use “the norms of decency which prevail among representative and re spectable members ol the com munity.” The Cardinal cited as a “new and depressing” element in the obsecemty problem “the effort which is being made in some quarters to minimize the dan gers which arise in the pre valence of obscene literature, and to impede the application oi existing iaws . . . “It is this dishonestly casuisti cal evasion of the problem which has emboldened distributors and retailers to offer openly for sale types of literature wnich only a quarter of a century ago would have fallen under univer sal condemnation,” he said.

Very well—then let us exercise our freedom by impos ing censorship upon ourselves. The most noble exercise of free dom is certainly not the choice of literature filth.” TO REPRESENT AQUINAS AT ANNUAL GIRLS’ STATE AUGUSTA — Aquinas High School will be represented by two members of the girls’ div ision of the class of 1960 at the annual Girls’ State to be held from June 21 to June 27 on the campus of Mercer University in Macon.
