BAN THE CRIME XOMIC BOOKS Tomboy's Christmas
j ccontlnued frem previcus page)
i prlmarily against civillan populatlons.
i Thus the Washington Tlmes-Herald
' In an editorial calling for a "Christian
crusade" againu the Soviet Union
saldthis:
"We do not put armles of young
men out to gut one another. We send
planes over at 40,000 feet loaded
wlth atom. bomb.?, fire bombs, and
germ bombs to slaughter babies in the
cradle. grandmothers at thelr prayers,
and worklng men at their jobs."
Il Ls no coincldence that we vitnesö
the tremendous increase in just that
kind of "cultiire" tvhich is designed
to tum the youth into callous, cold-blooded
monsters capable of commit.
tlng such unspeakable outrages. This
ls doubtless what Major George Field.
Ing Elliot had in mind when. in a
vile broadcast cn the subject "You
and Stalin's Atom Bomb", delivered
over the Columbia Broadcasting Sys­tem
on Nov, 16, he spoke of the
problem of educating the youth of
the "greatest power on earth" (U.S.)
on their "new world responsibilities."
Moreover, American Imperialism
needs to impose fascLsm on America
in order to thwart the people's \vill
for peace. Are not the recent assaults
in Peekskill, Chicago and Winnipeg,
tvhich were directed against the de-mocratic
movement, the logical out-come
of this psycholcgy of violence
whlch ls being dissemlnated through
the comlc boolts, radio and movies?
Is it any accident that the crlme
comic book whlch häs received the
blggest single clrculation (not sale)
In the U. S. and Canada is the
criide, antl-Semltic attack on the left-wlng
movement, published by the
Catholic hferarchy and entitled "Is
this Tomorrow?"
Together with the gbrification of
brutallty. American propaganda
spreads race chauvinism and deprav-ed
pomographpy on a, scate unpre-cedented
in American hlstory. It
was precfsely through this same type
of "kultur" that German fascism
succeeded in distorting the mentallty
of a whole generatlon of German
youth Tvhich later stalked through
Euröpe leaving bchind a trail of mass
mtirder, genoclde, and rape.
It is this same mentality whlch
makes it posslble for the WInnipeg
Free Press to justlfy the recent attack
by fascist DP's cn the Ukrainian L a -
bor Temple in Wlnnlpeg. It is this
lack of morality whlch permits the
Toronto Telegram to pay a high
School yöuth to go Into the N F L Y as
an Informer and llar, and then glori.
fics thls activlty as somethihg "patri-otlc"
and "heroic".
Those of us who visited the People's
Democracies this summer, were able
to see the kind of education their
youth recelve. Yes, they liave comic
books too, but what a dlfference!
Their comic books inculcate in the
youth a lively interest in science
and technology, arou^e in them a
spirit of intemationalism and a real
love of common people. The contrast
in moral standards is profound.
V/e should be precsing not only for
banning crime comics but corrapt
mo-,ies and llterature as well. Wc
should cohnect this with the demand
for govemment aid and encourage-ment,
to the Canadian artists and
R-riters who are trylng to develop our
o-A-n Canadian culture. We should
point out the connection between this
and the fight for peace and our
national independence.
Of cour.-,e the banning of this
propaganda i.s not of itielf .sufficicnt.
The econcmic and social cönditions
of capitalism works continuously to
rorrupt and demoralize the youth.
Our an£'Aer to that is to organize the
ycuth into .struggle for their needs.
Only ;n this v.-ay will they be able
to see hope instead of frustration
and despair.
The unprecedented attempt to pci.son
the mind.s of Canadians is a matter
which concerns ali who love our
country and who 'Aant to stop the
spread of Yankee gangsterism.

Betty Jane threw her purse at a
chair and sat down heavily on the
bed. She wore her father's shL^t
and her brother's blue jeans, a cos-tume
.she adoptcd a year before vrith
Woody Anderson'^ permission.
"Whafs the matter. dear?" She
jumped as the words cut the silence,
but she dldn't tum. She didnt want
her mother to know anything was
amiss — not yet anyway. And then
suddenly the tears came, like angry
flcod wat€rs biurstlng through a
barrier, unable to be restrained any
longer.
Mrs. Miller was careful to keep a
straight face as she wiped her 16-year
Old daughter's face with her hand-kerchief.
•'Why, dear? did Lance up-
.set yoii?"
Betty Jane shcok her head vehe-mently.
Why did mother always think
her brother was to blame for her
tears? Grown women never cried
over their brothers! "Its what Lance
.saw. not what he did." Betty said in
a burst of confidence. As her mo­ther
waited, she continued vvretched-ly.
"He saw Woody buying a bottle
of cologne. Cologne, mother, imagine!
He was so glib when he told me I
looked cute in jeans and now he's
two-timing me with some fluffy fe-male
wh6 actually uses cologne. Oh.
how can men be so beastly?"
••Darling, how do you know the

cologne isn't for you? Maybe Woody
thinks you've outgTCwn your jeans."
"He knows what I think of those
pink and white girls who use that
hornble concoction! He wouldn't
dare get me any. And besides, I al-ready
told him I wanted roUer skates
for Chriätmas . . . I have to be ready
fcr the new rink thats opening next
monih, dont I? I thought Woody
and I •would be going togethsr, but
now thafs air over." She threw her
arnis around her mother and cried
tragically. "Oh, mother, I"ll never
smile again! I definitely won't.
This time Mrs. Miller smiled over
her daughter"s head. She well recog.
nized the stage Betty Jane was going
through and decided she must take
a hand. '•You're sure the cologne
wouldn't be for a sister or a cousin?"
"He hasnt a female in the family,
and hLs mother never uses it so who
else could it possibly be for? I'H bet
itse for Estelle Brj-an. Ali the bther
fellow5 like her but Woody used to
iay she was tod fragile. Oh, mother,
how he's deceived me!"
Her mother rose. "Weil, dry your
eyes, Betty, dear. Ifs Christmas
Eve and you want to be happy today.
Woody will probably come over with
your roller skates tonight and we'll
surprise him. If he likes fragile
girls, he'll get one.
Betty Jane sat up straight. "Mother,
no! Not that horrible blue dress you
bought me!
"You wash up and put that dress
on, Betty.
"We'll wait for you downstairs."
V.'ith that, Mrs. Miller closed the door
on her tomboy daughter and hurried
downstairs. As she reached the
bottom step the doorbell rang and
she admitted Woody Andersen, a
lanky boy with unruly red hair and
freckles marching in perfect forma-tion
over the bridge of his ncse. He
was clutching a box, obviously con-taining
the roller skates requested by
Betty Jane.
"She'll be right down," Mrs. Miller
informed him, then left him alone
for the surprise.
It came a half-hour later when
Betty Jane made her appearance. The
blue dresss looked even better than
she had hoped it would.
"Gosh, Betty Jane!" Woody con.
tributed to the conversation. The
smile broadened. "For me, Woody?"
she asked, nodding t<>ward the box.
"Is it cologne? Lance saw you buy­ing
some," So casual, sq indifferent.
" U h , gosh, no, Betty Jane. Gee,
you asked for skates and I got them
for you. 'I bought cologne for Miss
Lindsay, the English teacher that
helped we with my essay- for that
contest."
"How sweet of you." She stepped
down into tlie iiving room and accept-ed
the box from Woody. "Thank you,"
she said gravely, "Yours is under the
tree." ' •
