ORIVE II AI YOUR SIUDEBAKER DEALER'S TODAY OF SMITH & MEN Bv Jack Smith itiO Tlmes-Mlrror Syndicate I can't wait until the movies ur's back. That's adultery if I adoDt this idea of mittine I ever saw it. badges on their shows saying "Recommended for Adults" or "Recommended for Family," so a decent man will know where to go. It's a noble idea. Imagine being able to call a theater and asking, "F a m i 1 y or Adults?" A man wouldn't have to put his shoes on and get the car out of the garage and drive all the way to the mov ies only to find out that what, he thought might be an enter tainment for the kids was an adult movie. Even worse, supposing he took his kids to a movie which he thought was adult, so they could learn something, and it turned out to be for the family. That way the kids don't learn anything, his wife doesn't learn anything, he's bored and they might as well have stayed at home watching an adult western, where no body learns anything, good or bad, but at least you can turn the thing off and go out to a recommended family movie. This new system they're talking about probably would have saved me a lot of mis takes. I never would have taken any children of mine to see that picture "Knights of the Round Table," where this knight Lancelot is in love with the queen, Guinevere, behind the good King Arth- I I wouldn't even have driven them around the block to a movie house that was show ing "Robin Hood and His Merry Men," or whatever they called it. This Techni colored essay in the social theory Hint injustice may be rectified by lawlessness is okay for adults, but what would the children think? A simple announcement that these films were recom mended for adults only would have kept my children at home, and me as well. I suppose some pictures might be hard to classify, such as "Spartacus," which is about the war of the slaves against the Romans. We took our children to see it on the grounds that it was about history and the Roman Empire, which is a good thing, especially if they are ever go ing to study Latin. It was perfectly okay for a while. Nothing but greed, be trayal, duplicity, opulence and other aspects of the Roman scene, but then this love af fair came along between the male slave and the female slave and I began to wonder if it was anything for chil dren to see. ' There was an implication I'm not saying anything, un derstand that Spartacus, the leader of the slaves, was liv ing together with Jean Sim mons as man and wife with out benefit of clergy. This might be overlooked on the grounds that they didn't hap pen to have a clergyman in their outfit, most of them be ing behind the Roman walls. But then this Joan Sim mons had to take a swim in a pool without any clothes on. as fur as I could see. Well, that certainly is for adults only. So I'll be glad enough to have this advice in advance. I've been thinking of taking the family to "Swiss Family Robinson," but I think I'll wait. I want to be sure there's no suggestion in it of where the Robinson kids came from.

Lenten Message By JAMES FRANCIS CARDINAL McINTYRE Archbishop of Los Angeles (Written for UPI) The philosophy of material- Ism has been spreading widely in the areas of education, and of literature, and of science. Gradually the consequent de parture from the principles of the natural law and from the tenets of the revealed law has lessened the respect due to divine and human authority. The result is confusion in thought and confusion in ac tion. This confusion is neces sarily the consequence of such departure. The standard of action that observes the dif ference between right and wrong is not respected. Since the substitutes are not per manent, but vacillating and frustrating, they do not con stitute tradition or custom or recognition of law. Day to Day Disposition The theory that moral and spiritual values, when applied in human behavior, exalt and refine life and bring it into accord with the standards of conduct that are approved in our democratic culture" Is an example of the departure from divine law and the sub stitution of day to day dis position. The opposite of materialism is commemorated in the Feast of the Resurrection. Almighty God manifests His supreme power over life and death when He rises triumphantly froi" the dead, conquering heaven and earth and rcleas mg the bonds of hell by His rcssurcction and ascension into heaven. His resurrection Is a su preme testimony and the most convincing confirmation that the order of nature Is the work of divinity. The wonders of the world arc contained with in the order of nature. Let it be remembered that God is the author of nature, and as the creator of nature. God is empowered to prove His di vlnity as He suspends His law in the resurrection, in testimony of Ilia divinity.
