<br />citizens representing the Parent -Teachers Association and the Christiam Family Movement,
<br />and brought to the Board's attention the showing of a film at the South Bend Auto
<br />Theatre, recently which, based upon the newspaper advertisement, and descriptive matter
<br />contained in hand bills distributed at the time of its showing indicated the film to
<br />be indecent. Inasmuch as none of the members of the group had seen the film, and
<br />no power of censorship presently lies with the Board, the Board could take no action,
<br />but offered to the group the suggestion of Chief of Police, R. J. Gillen, that they
<br />I deal directly with the theatre operator from the standpoint that their entire membership
<br />would be circularized and would endeavor to curtail patronage. It was also suggested
<br />that they combine their efforts with the Catholic Legion of Decency.
