Playboy aids in patient recovery

Dear Editor:

It is probably unwise to
rise to the bait and reply to
Anne Clark’s letter sug-
gesting the directors of
Lion's Gate Hospital be
replaced because the gift
shop sells pornography. But
her letter is misleading and
she wants rid of me so 1 will
respond,

Only Playboy and Playgirl
are sold in the Hospital Aux-
iliary gift shop. This selec-

Soviets look
to passage

Dear Editor:
Re: ‘Polar Sea’”’ and the

Northwest Passage

Ramming the ‘‘Polar
Sea” through the disputed
Northwest Passage without
prior consultation with us is
aiding an adversary by runn-
ing over a friend. As for
Russia, no more crying over
Alaska but smiling at the
Canadian Arctic. -Na
zdorovje, Comrades, and
thanks for showing the way!

tion is based on the percep-
tion that these magazines are
widely read in the communi-
ty and although not
everyone may buy them
there are few who believe
they should be banned. Fre-
quently a patient's first sign
of recovery is when he
becomes interested in the
other sex and. tries to flirt
with the nurses. A gift of
Playboy from a wife or
girlfriend can be part of this
precess. I am not sure that

Playgirl has the opposite ef-
fect and I cannot speak for
women but | dare not deny
them equality.

We investigated the
research on the subject.
Although there is some
evidence that the most ex-
treme hard core por-
nography can effect abnor-
mal sexual behavior there is
nothing to suggest that
reading of Playboy or
Playgirl can cause any harm.
