THE
A D A K
SUN
Published each Monday for all personnel,,
on Adak by Special Services. Provisions
for NavExos P-35 (Rev. July 53) complied
with. Mimeographed at NavSta Adak. Funds
furnished from non-appropriated sources
at no cost to the government. Articles
contained herein are not to be construed
as representing the official opinion of
the Commanding Officer or the Navy Dep
artment, inasmuch as the Adak Sun as not
an official publication.
THAT YOU MAY KNOW
"What is Right" was the topic of my
sermoh a week ago. At that time I made
some suggestions of rules to assist in
making choice's. One fa cot, r in any sound
choice is adequate information.
Chaplain Morris and I have discussed
this in regards to movies on Adak. We
have no desire to choose your movies
however we believe you would be inter
ested in advance information on what
to expect. This is made more important
since titles can be misleading. For
instance "Splender in the Grass" may
concern the grain fields and rolling
pasture of the midwest or the beauty of
the wild flowers on Adak. However this
is not the case to be sure. The story
(if there is one) has nothing to do
with Grass or Splendor.
A rating of Decency will be published
in the Adak Sun each week.
(Continued next column)
The rating will be taken from various
sources including "Preview","Christian
Science Monitor","Parents Magazine",
etc. We will use four classifications,
Family (F) for movies rated acceptable
for the family
Adult (A) for adults only.
Youth (Y) for adolescents.
Undesireable (U) for movies rated
objectionable in part for all.
A rating does not imply we recommend
attendance for that age group. That is
"Family" rating is not an endorsement
for the family to attend. We realize
not all of you will agree with the pub
lished rating, nor do we ask for agre
ement. A movie may be acceptable in
most part but rated "Adult only" on 1
the basis of a few scenes. The rating ™
is still "A" because you can not say to
your children "Don’t look at this part",
The same is true of all other ratings.
No movies will be cancelled on basis
of its rating. This is not the purpose*
We want you to choose with all the facts
at hand.
We would suggest parents consult this
rating before sending the children to
the movies. If there are questions in
your mind, go see the movie, first and
then decide.
Chaplain Morris will discuss the sub
ject in more detail in the "Sun" article
next week. ^
