Supreme Court May Refine Obscenity Ruling On Pornography
The Supreme Court signaled it may refine last June’s obscenity ruling on hardcore pornography. It agreed to hear Georgia case over the film Carnal Knowledge and whether obscenity standards should be state or community based. Billy Jenkins of Albany, Georgia, was fined 750 and placed on 12 months probation for showing the film. The high court’s 5 to 4 decision last June shifted from a national standard to allow prosecutors to show lack of serious social value.

Oswego County Faces $62,826 Cut in School Aid Bill
Oswego County would lose $62,826 in elementary and secondary school aid under a health education and welfare bill. The loss stems from a presidential five percent reduction authority and votes by McEwen and Hanley while Walsh did not vote. If Nixon withholds the impoundment, county aid could rise by $28,272, though that seems unlikely.
