Ohio Movie Censors Worried Over 30 Worried Over Fate ' Os Screen Beauties qOLUMBUS. O UP — Ohio movie, censors are worried stiff about what three-dimensional movies might do to Marilyn Monroe, or Dagmar, or Jane Russell. . Such three-dimensional beauties as these might pass censorship standards pressed flat on a screen but in 3-D movies they’re strictly a headache —at least for Ohio censors. Dr. Clyde Hissong. Ohio's education director who heads the censor team, said his reviers might pass a flat version of a threedimensional film, then find it was an "eye-poper" on the three dimensional screen. .The jSfate Film Censorship Division dbesn’t have the equipment for shewing 3-D films, - “As it standi now,” said Dr. Hissong. “we see only the film for one eye, and Without special stereoscopic \glasses." Most 3-D films must be seen with special glasses provided by the-.theater to give depth to the picture, ■* Many movie studios plan to change from flat to three dimensional productions withjn a year. Dr. Hissong thinks there migb‘ b 4 total conversion in the lijovie industry to three-dimensional films within a couple of years. According to Ohio law, the De . part,meiit of Education is required to‘ “examine and censor all motion picture films to be publicly exhibit ed and displayed in the state.” Sp far the education director hasn't asked for a revision in the censorship division's budget to provide 3-D .viewing equipment. But Dy. Hissong admits he might send his censors to movie houses equipped with 3-D viewing equipment before he puts his stamp of approval on the films. | j church ,and the public are urged to. Join ih these services.

SHE ' ! J MTNM :M .’ld M,’ M! M a■•! Z''rVß SCRIPTURK: Matthew 22:15-«. n e rm - Answers —Plus;! LgZagZr;-, h fAN February 12 w« celtbrafe the birthday of a man vfbo fit is said) claimed he could npt tell a lie. That is an exaggerate n. Almost any man can tell a lit if he tries hard enough. But even If this were such a wonderful worl l that literally nobody \ could tell • lie, it might still not be the ideal world. For what is mo«t impjrtant is not choking back the false! ;oods, important as that is. The big thing is to tell the truth. And it is even harder to tell the truth and tell it right, than to keep trona lying. Truth can be told in a dull way so that no one listens to it. If truth is worth telling it ought to be pointed,—and when we say ‘‘pototed”. we mean that three ways, i Jr 7* T * ■ I Pointed At—- ■\ For one thing, truth may a r well not be told at all if it is not pointed at somebody. There’s no use telling your deaf old grandmother about the circus; she's not going.

Dr.F.r4»«

There is no use telling a small baby to keep his face clean. There’s e no use . giving a lecture Lon space-heattag to’ap audience of Hottentots; they ”r’e hot enough already. You’re talking to the wrong people.

Truth ought to be fitted for, and pointed toward, the people; who need it. The Master-Teacher) himself showed how this is done. Much of Jesps* most vital teaching was directed to what we would call Sometimes their Questions were meant to trip him up (like the -three recorded in jMatthew 42). Sometime they were asked from mere curiosity, sometithes they were desperate gropings for light. But whatever the motive, Jesui always gave them answers—plus. He would take advantage of the moment to push in a pointed truth. If only preachers ipd Sunday school tea chers--and politicians too —would spend more time ahswertng the questions people do ask, instead of questions they don’t askl Sharp Enough To Stick There is another sense in which truth, to be effective must be pointed. It has to be the oppositle of dull. Now there are situations where truth can be dull, and come. If you are looking up in the encyclopaedia the population of North Dakota, or trying to find out wlat niacin is, you don’t want to be amused, startled er entertained. Ycu just want plain fact, plainly sts ted. Professors and other studious people are trained to absorb tn th no matter bow, dully it is presented. It's a poor' student {Who can’t learn as much from a dry professor as from a witty one. But most human situations are nol in Class-rooms. Truth that is not dry. ought not to sound <jry. Truth that’s worth remembering oui ;ht to be -told in such away that it can’t be forgotten. Again, tour Lord’s teaching was of this sJrt. He never told a dull truth, and he never told his bright truth in a dul| way. His sayings are all pointed; they have away of sticking in the inlnd. What he says flashes in the eye like sunlight on ateth There was-no one around takjing notes when Jesus spoke. His payings are remembered not because somebody had a good notebook but because what he said, stuck. “To The Feint” What do we mean by a pontless joke of a pointless remark? We mean, of course, that the thing was not’ worth saying, howe rer true it may have been. We wgnt people to speak to the point If we are going to listen to them We wait them to be saying someth ng that is worth saying, something we’o be worse off for not knowing. Now again Jesus’ teaching yras pointed truth in this sense. It was relevant truth, it was truth dealing with specific situations. Heeatne "down to brass tacks’* as we say. His I teachings did not float aW ay up in the clouds, thOy came down to earth and walked there. They had to dp With people’s real problems. And what we shall find out. if vie study Jesus’ teachings faith fully, is they deal with our problems today too. The problem oi the i demands—sometimes seeming id conflict—of epurch and state, oi country end conscience; the problems of death and of the life beyond; th e problem of how best Ito serye ahd obey God; these concerned the men of ancient they concern us no less. JesQs' words are just as pointed today ht they were nineteen centuries aao Tbi’hlde of a 1,000 pound st|er weighs about 70 pounds, or about seven i>er cent of hte animal’s live 1 weight. .
