This fellow is a divorce and now makes it a point to do lots of enter taining to show how "happy" he is. But one of the features of his hospitality is sexy movie strips. I don't know where he gets them, but they're disgusting. I want to turn down the invitation be cause I can't stomach that smut. But my husband thinks we should go. He says I'm old fashioned, that people are more sophisticated now and take the open display of "the facts of life" without blink ing an eyelash. Well, I not only blink and blush. I get sick to my stomach! Who's wrong, my husband or I, or our would-be host?

He figures on inviting intelligent ' people who can view this strong stuff purely as documentary male- rial. If we stay away, we just look like a pair of milque toasts, like squares. We skip. ped the last affair. I made up some excuses for Ida s sake. But we learned that other guests brought along their own pornographic "treasures" and the party was exciting and educational -not in a sensational way, either. The movies merely opened the way to a lively discussion of morals and sex behavior in our modern world. Ida should be able to view the stuff like an adult. Most of it is plain stupid or funny. It shouldn't throw her. THE COUNCIL: Rather than being merely stupid or funny, Benno, that porno graphic film will be sad. For it parades what should be part of a deep, eternal man woman embrace and presents it completely out of context in order to shock. Watching it stolidly and phlcgmatically is supposed to be the test of the hep aurl'unce. A few nerv ous twitters begin to betray the "unscicntilic," whereas an outright giggle would mark the ingenuous among the com-1 pany. Sad is the word tor a host who must get his kicks that way. Sadder still is the plight of the "adults" who fall for his challenge as tu whether they can "take it. Bravo for Ida who announces that since she can't take it, she'll leave it. As for Benno, even though he can take it, should he? Certain restrictions have loosened up, we admit. The Staten Island Ferry no longer separates men and women. Small boys don't have to wait for manhood to wear long rousers. Formerly taboo sub jects are now discussed in the press and from pulpits. Re cently we heard a woman de ploring the use of terrace furniture. Why? Because the top is glass and she can't kick her husband under the table when he starts a "blue story. Oh yes, some of the bulwarks are sliding away. But marital love and mari tal sex, at least in their ideal form, are the same as when they were envisioned in the Bible and in the impassioned works of art which they In spired through the centuries since Paradise was ottered to man. Benno's host proposes to vulgarize these.

The booklet, "Seven Great Auto Tours of the United States," also includes a color picture of beach buggies on the Oregon dunes near Flor ence, Ore. The pictures and listing are included in the Northwest tour, which takes the motorist from Glacier National park in Montana into the state of Washington, across northern Idaho and south to the Co lumbia river gorge.

Sleeping Bear Far From Dormant One Glen Arbor, Mich. fUPD The Sleeping Bear is a sand i dune that has been anything but dormant. Yesterday it was a lonely but beautiful geological mon-1 ument to the Pleistocene Ice Age. Tomorrow it may be a ; national park and the site of i a new civil war pitting the j backers of federal preserva-1 tion of natural beauties against those who would have the job done privately, i Vn the meantime, the Sleep ing Bear, whose name comes I from an Indian . legend, con tinues to be an incomparable vacation spot for people who like dune climbing, trout fishing, hiking, swimming and camping. To geologists the Sleeping Bear and similar dunes sit uated on the Leelanau Penin-! sula of northwestern lower Michigan are outstanding ex amples of the forms glaciers carved during North Ameri ca s last great ice age that ended about 11,000 years ago. The naturalist sees in the! rca an unmatched flora and fauna workshop. 'Other places have many of the same things but here there is a greater diversity, a greater variety and they are better displayed than in any other spot we found." said Donald W. Humphrey, a Na tional Park Service (NPS) naturalist. Education Board Approves Ban on Sports Competition By Elementary School Girls Salem-IUPD-The State Board of Education has approved a ban on grade school sports competition among girls, starting this fall. This means that 6th, 7th and 8th grade girls from one school cannot compete with girls' teams from another school. The new code does not af fect participation of girls in sports within their own school. Accept Defeat One board member com mented that many girls of grade school age are not emo tionally equipped to accept defeat in direct sports com petition. The board was told that seven of Oregon's 36 counties have completed school dis trict reorganization work. All 36 county school district re organization committees in cluding the 29 which haven't finished - go out of existence July 1, by law, cutting off further planning of reorgani zation. The 1963 legislature may be asked for some method of authorization to complete re organization, but this hasn't been decided yet. The 1961-62 fiscal year budget of $982,953 to operate the Oregon Program for Ed ucation Improvement was approved, covering the first year's operation, The three year program is underwritten with $3.5 million from the Ford Foundation. Local Schools The State Education De partment will spend $234,901 of the first year's budget.
