IDA B.-We've been invited
to attend a dinner party at
the home of a business friend
of Bcnno's. 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?

BENNO B.-This fellow has
sense enough not to show his
erotic material to a bunch of
kids or yokels. 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. His taste

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.
