TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13 censorship reduced public expression and the possibility of great art. and was contrary to democracy. Westinghouse, our second speaker, effectively demonstrated with concrete examples, what could befall printed matter without censor- ship. Unfortunately the speech of the second speaker was well nigh inaudible. Cooper concluded our case by huinorously showing the fate that overtook Rome for lack of censorship. The third member of thc op- position, John Fraser, attempted to disprove Cooper's points with much less success. The final verdict of the judges awarded the victory to Lakefieltl by a 203-189 score, stressing, however, the excellent delivery of our speeches. T.C.S. AT LAKEFIELD Before a noteworthy audience in the Grove Hall, three Grove speak- ers supported the resolution: Censorship could be of positive value to Canada . The T.C.S. opposition consisted of Stephen Traviss, Hamish Ion and Tony Stikeman. The Prime Minister, McLean, outlined the terrible and disastrous effects on our society if there were no censorship. The Leader of the Opposition, Stephen Traviss, battled the P.M., summing up the history of censorship, and the condition of past societies without it. The second speaker for the Government gave an interesting ex- position of advertising, and its relationship to the censors. The second speaker for the Opposition, Ion, delivered an excellent and humorous speech about our pitifully censored society, and how the average Martian would look upon us. The third speaker supporting the resolution gave an exceedingly amusing speech which captured the House. The last speaker for the opposition, Stikeman, summarized the ideas of censorship and stressed the point that censorship was negative. The three judges then retired briefly, during which time debate was thrown open to the floor of the House. The verdict was a 2-1 decision in favour of Lakefield. After the debate, the Trinity debaters were kindly invited to make a tour of the school, followed by tea.

Although the debate was formally closed, discussion continued long into the night. PREVIEWS OF PROGRESS ln 1938 General Motors presented a series of travelling shows to its potential public. The principle behind this move was to enliven interest in engineering and the sciences. A more immediate aim was to boost a lagging business caused by the depression a decade earlier. Under the name of t'Parade of Progress , sixty large vans. fully equipped with apparatus, a power supply and an assortment of volatile chemicals. toured the North American continent stopping at schools. clubs. and other focal points of interest. This program was brought to a halt unfortunately soon after its inception by the second world war. However, due to the response it had received in its first few months, the show was continued in 1946. Renamed 'tPreviews of Progress and tuned down to a workable number of eight companies, the campaign is still on the move. General Motors, as every Canadian knows. needs no longer place the emphasis that it used to during the early war years on such propaganda machines. Previews of Progress owes its existence mostly to its nation-wide popularity and the interest of General Motors Corporation itself. The staff that accompany these shows usually like to get in ten shows a week, every week for about eight months of the year. Thus in spite of the decimation of the division, a good deal of work is accom- plished. Their routines which are rejuvenated annually by a group of technicians working at the Previews of Progress laboratories in De- troit contain much valuable knowledge although many of their demon- strations are cloaked as illustrative tricks. The Canadian representatives of the division which visited us on the rainy Tuesday evening of October 16 certainly gave a fine display. The accent at the present seems to be on the limitless field of possibilities in polymer chemistry and on the infinite value of solar energy, pri- marily stored by photo-electric cells. The school expresses its thanks to this group and to General Motors for creating this stimulus among the scientists and engineers of tomor- row. LAKEFIELD AT T.C.S. On Friday, September 28, 1962, a Trinity team, composed of Bob Gibson, Gus Westinghouse and Murray Cooper, debated with Lakefield the resolution, Censorship in this country could be of a positive good . The debate took place in Osler Hall before a numerous and interested audience. The Prime Minister, Gibson. held that censorship in advertising was one of the mainstays of capitalism. The l,c-ader of the Opposition countered with the accusation that
