- OTTAWA. (CP) — Erotica can be
distinguished from pornography but it

abusive films or programming, a
Toronto writer said Wednesday. -'

Many feminists, including

Democrat Lym McDonald, a sub-
_ committee member, want restrictions
’ on pornography but are not opposed to

erotic materials. _

But opponents of censorship say
pornography should not be controlled
because there is no clear distinction

~ between it and sexually gratifying and
apparently harmless erotica.

Cole described erotica as
-depiction of sexuality in the context of
equality” and pornography as “the
sexual subordination of women.” The
definition of pornography would en-
compass sex without the woman's
consent, beatings or other violence
associated with sex and any other

NOT THE ANSWER .

However, in an interview later, Cole

can' ever replace pornography in the
firmly: established, multimillion-dollar
. sex industry.

“Although I encourage people to
make alternative images, I think it’s
naive to thinkit’s the answer to the
pornography question,” said. Cole,
publisher of the feminist review,
Broadside. '

“People can say be so cavalier —
‘Let's make‘erotica.’ Haw easy do we

- think that’s going to be?”

A film or other sexually explicit
products cannot be seen in Isolation but
must beviewed as scenes involving real

ple.

vats very hard at this point to get
sexually explicit sex acts. without there
being a -great deal of: prostitution,
traffic in women and alot of inequality.
You can’t really separate the image
from what . goes into making the
image.” .

Cole suggested to the subcommittee

provincial human rights legislation.
Under her proposals, a woman who is.

to collect damage

In response. to a question from
McDonald, who represents Toronto's
Broadview-Greenwood riding, Cole

effects sexually abusive materials have
been found to have on consumers.

At the least, they create in men's
minds false expectations of how women
should look and act, based on the ap-

4arance and behavior of models. in
séxtially explicit materials, she said.

Ot
Rich in color and texture

by ANDREA DEAKIN .
The current exhibit at the art gallery
features abstract textile collages designed
and executed by Elizabeth Hawkins. The
artist is an interior designer by profession,

trained in New York and San Franclaco.

She has been a inember of the faculty: of
Vancouver Community Coliege for the Jast
nine ‘years.

:, Textile art is very much a part of in-
terior design. So, by training and interest,
Elizabeth Hawkins found herself led to
experiment with fibres in the traditional
ways’ of weaving, felting, knotting, and
also in new ways -- arranging, linking, and
wedding colour and textures into new
forms.

“Tt was a constant challenge to produce
a textile art form that could be as readily
accepted as oil or water colour, and yet
retain the colour and texture and inherent

‘

qualities of fibre without. such inhibiting

factors as wear, fading damage or

maintainance.” *

- Her own sheep, Angora goats and
Angora rabbits are raised to provide her
with the wools which are used both in their
natural form, or dyed and blended with
other fibres. The collages are rich with
colour, ranging from natural earth tones to
intense and vivid fuschias, Flames, and
peacock blues. Whal they depict may be
suggested by the artist, but each remains
anintensely personal experience, as color,
shape and texture play upon the: sub-
conscious, producing an individual con-
ception and reaction. Certainly these are
intense and vibrant: works whose Image
changes with the Angle of vision or the play
of light. 1 found it a most stimulating and
enjoyable exhibition.

Building a no-frills: fallout shelter

” VICTORIA (CP) — The day

nuclear warfare begins, Bernard
Wright and his wife’ will shut
themselves into a tiny concrete-
sided closet in their basement and
hopefully stay there until it's safe
to come oul.

Wright, 71, spent years working
in the U.S. atomic industry testing
underground. . explosives in
Nevada. He turned the closet into a

‘shelter to survive “the big bustup” -

he is convinced is coming — It’s
just a matter of time, nota matter
of if.” yt ba

The little room — -:the one he

’ intended for either cold storage or
- a sauna

“until world tensions
heated up" a few years ago — is

equipped with two bunk’ beds and

stocked with canned..food, root
vegetables, grain, rice and a radio.
It measures only -2:1 square
metres, ‘'but I think it would be all
right to get us through a period of
heavy radiation fallout."

Wright, who was born in Man-

‘chester, England, and moved to

the United States when he was a

child, isn’t just interested in saving |

his own neck. . ;
For those people - without
basement cubbyholes, Wright

recommends What he calls a “‘poor
man’s fallout shelter’? — an ear-
then cave he says can be hollowed
out in the backyard in two or three
days with just a shovel, and

chainsaw.

The shelter Wright suggests
would be made entirely of logs and
soil, entered by a sloping trench,

and equipped with a ventilation

filter. It would measure about four
metres by 24 metres and contain a
utility area and a sleeping shelf.

The’ Important thing to
remember, he says is “that an
effective barrier to radiation must
contain’ ‘one hundred pounds of
mass for: each square foot of
barrier.”

Fred Cooper, an official with
Emergency Planning Canada,
says Wright’s plan conforms to
suggestions made in U.S. govern-

‘ment publications for home-made

or expedient shelters.

Noting that Wright spent much of
his life in the American nuclear
industry, Cooper says: “I would
tend to assume he knows what he’s
talking about.

‘Cooper says whenever an in-
ternational crisis occurs, his office
is deluged with calls from people
wanting to know how to protect
themselves.

HUNDREDS CALL

“Five years ago, if we got a call
a month asking for information on
fallout shelters, it would have been
unusual. But we had 200 or 300 calls
a week when Russia invaded
Afghanistan (in 1979}. Every time
something happens now, it goes
right up again.”

Officials in the federal shelter

program, which is ‘under the
jurisdiction of the Department of
Public Works, have ‘‘literally
given out tens of thousands of
pamphlets on how to protect

yourself against fallout, "” Cooper
says, Slressing that “people can
survive the initial effects of a
nuclear blast if.they have a fallout
shelier.”

Any other name but
never Rolls Royce

Should you one day develop a
superior mouselrap and — in a
spirit of unbridled enthusiasm —
be tempted to refer to it as the very
Rolls-Royce of mousetraps, then
prepare to meet Lewis Gaze.

Because you will, sooner or later.

Gaze is an urbane Englishman
with a dream assignment. He
travels ‘the world laying by the
heels such miscreants as attempt
to “misappropriate”’ the Rolls-
Royce name or its famous symbols
for their own products.

He fights — and wins —- about 700
such cases each year.

Recently, in his-only visit to

Canada-on his current swing, the:
a5-year-old- lawyer dropped in on =

Toronto.

So far in his world travels he has
found the cherished symbols
emblazoned upon such diverse
products. aS. shoes, cameras,
luggage, golf carts, dentists’

chairs, adult movies and strip-
lease dancers.

“One enterprising Italian gigolo
even had the effrontery to call
himself: Signor Roly-Royce,” he
said in an interview.
aGaze says his chief duty is to
make certain the firm’s trademark
does not fall victim to common

usage terminology such a8 one-—

time trademarks aspirin, nylon,
linoleum, cellophane
escalator.

One of the symbols of Rolls-
Royce is the radiator ornament —
asmall statue of an elegant woman
with wings, leaning forward into
the wind on a steep angle. —

She is The Flying Lady or, more
properly, The Spirit of Ecstacy.
And her’s is a poignant story.

“In the early days of the com-
pany, we found that hood or-
naments were becoming the
fashion,” Gaze says.
