stouffville ontario march 20 1965 editor the stouffville tribune dear mr editor i was not at all surprised that you took exception to my article in the tribune of march 4th now mr editor i do not blame you entirely for your rebuttal but believe you had yielded to pressure from someone else however if you will reconsider my article you will see that i did not discuss anyone having hellevision except christians as you quoted me yourself it is no more wrong for a sinner to have hellevision than it is for him to smoke chew or use to bacco in any form or attend bingos play cards gamble drink liquor dance with the worldly crowd or indulge in other exercises which belong to the devil and are wrong for any real christian you also spoke of television programs having no ill effect on normal people that is quite an erroneous state ment for christians are the on ly people who are really intelli gent in the sight of god all others are morally insane and the bible says led captive by the devil at his will and are spiritually dead but she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth i tim 36 and that they may recover them selves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive bv him at his will 2 tim 226 1 again i say my controversy is not with the unsaved but only with those who claim to he christians if any man be it christ he is a new creature behold old things are passed away behold all things are be come new cor 517 christians why is hellevision wrong for you 1 is it wrong lo sit and watch adulterous men and wom en parade around half naked flaunt their sexcrazed bodies in the faces of your children 2 is it wrong to encourage the dringing of beer liquor and wine and to teach your children to do so 3 is it wrong lo allow some one to bring into your home the low vulgar and offcolour lan guage of the dives of sin and to fill our minds with their ac tions and words 4 is it wrong to allow ungod ly libertines to invade our homes and seduce our wives and daugnters christian parents do well to give the following findings of the national association for better radio and television their serious consideration a survey taken by them in a single week in may found on seven tv sta tions 161 murders 60 justifi able homicides 2 suicides 192 attempted murders s3 robberies 15 kidnappings 7 attempted lynchings 6 dynamitings 2 cases of arson and 2 of torture us news world report viewing has become our reli gion the tv set is an altar he- fore which we recline mute trustful and hopeful our even ings arc shaped into a ritual of worship i said the hellevision is most responsible for emptying the churches on sundays especi ally in the evenings i defy any one to prove me wrong scientists say television af fects the eyes of children who watch it very much some people seem to think of childrens television as a spe cial category cartoon programs games animal stories folk songs in fart take up little time and little of the childs life clued to tv from the time they can walk our children are getting an intenshe training in all phases of crime from the ever increasing army of west erns and crimedetective pro- the public is invited to hear these two young men thev will bo speaking and singing in the morning worship service at dicksons hill church at 915 am on march 2sth and in the markham church at 11 am and 730 pm on the same date each week night monday mar 29th until friday april 2nd they will be in the markham united mis sionary church at s pm grams available to them the past decade has seen tv come of age however the same decade has witnessed the violence content in programs skyrocket and delinquency in real life grow almost 200 per cent sen thomas dodd conn usa i faithfully yours leslie grove once upon a time the village blacksmith hired a young lad to be his apprentice immediately he began instructing him now when i take this horse shoe out of the fire ill lay it on the anvil when i nod my head you hit it with a ham mer the boy did as he was told one for 1200 the survey showed that the village force included four offl- cers and the chief in a munic- pality of 6000 or a ratio of one man for every 1200 persons the per capita cost 19s4 was 715 and the total police budget in 61 was 13000 the force patrols 31 miles of road mr taylor pointed nut that al though the police personnel had i remained at five men during the j past four years the population of markham had increased bv 1116 or 30s per cent the in crease in taxable assessment is up 26 per cent premises adequate the report noted that the po lice office was adequate in size but the interior could he im proved with a coat of paint and new flooring the nearest iail is at buttonville or newmarket 25 miles away mr taylor said that if 2 officers were required lo transport a prisoner to new market the village was often without police protection he recommended that one or two cells be installed in the village police building for the detention of temporary or overnight prisoners the report praised the capa bilities of the chief and the 4 officers the organization of the department was commended mr taylor pointed to the school safety program as a valuable asset to the village and its schoolaged children the survey noted that often during both day and night there was no one in the police office because constables were out on patrol it said that the same held true when dayshift officers were in court at rich- mond hill and newmarket the report revealed that incidents of crime in the village during 1961 were quite low lack of communication mr taylor suggested that there had been a lack of com munication and understanding between the police department and the police committee dur ing the past two years it charged that regular meetings with the committee had been practically nonexistent it noted further that the morale on the force was low of the five individual recom mendations put forward by the commission one included the hiring of three additional offi cers or two constables and a dayshift clerktypist it said that one officer for every 750 people was now the standard figure in conclusion the report sug- give future consideration to the amalgamation of police forces in york county or the linking of the village department with markham township chairman replies committee chairman deputy- reeve laidlaw said that the re port had not been discussed in full by the council with the police chief but noted that he had his own personal opinions with regard to certain recom mendations contained in the survey he charged that since the tax able assessment in markham had increased by 26 per cent in the last four years it would on the same basis mean an in crease of one officer on the force he said that he had al ready advocated this addition in 1965 he said only on rare occa sions was the village without any police protection due to the transporting of prisoners to buttonville or newmarket jails he noted also that if a jail cell was constructed in the mark ham police building it would mean that an officer would have to remain at the station all night he said that both he and the reeve had made an inspec tion of the police office and had advocated certain changes in the filing of records he agreed that the child safety program should be continued in the schools with respect to the hiring of 1 female clerk the chairman contended that there wouldnt be more than two hours of clerical work for her to do in a day he said he was fully in favour of the amalgamation of the markham
