Journeys Through Jackson is the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society Members and non-members are invited tc submit
genealogical materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical content, clarity or taste
The Society assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, and except where noted the opinions expressed are not those
of the editor or of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit
groups.
From the Editor
Many of the members of the Jackson County Genealogical Society have been saddened profoundly by the news
of the death of Lawrence Wood. While he was not a member of our Society, he was probably one of the best-known
genealogists in western North Carolina. He was a person who never had to lament about how much easier
this would all have been had he started earlier when knowledgeable family members were still living and able to
tell their stories. He listened, even as a child, and learned from his family, a family group who believed in
holding onto the treasures of the past and learning from them. As we all do, Lawrence had his quirks,
eccentricities, and faults. But nobody can fault the lifelong efforts he made to research genealogies of his own
and other families, and to record his findings to the best of his knowledge. Many have also been enriched by his
generosity and willingness to share his data, materials, and stories. All of us who pursue this hobby (or in some
cases, profession) should be so generous.
Lawrence Edward Wood 193 7-1997
In this last issue for 1997, we continue with the voluminous records of Betty Cope Andrews as she chronicles the
Monteith family, and we offer some results of the serious work of one of our newer members, Sharon Barger
Carnes. Her painstaking hard work with old newspapers has already been of genealogical value to the editor.
Finally, check out the membership list and their families of interest, so that 1998 can be the time that you learn
even more about your roots and connections as you communicate with them. Please respond to the separate letter
and questionnaire, and promise to be temperate with the eggnog this season. For that matter, be temperate in
everything except this consuming interest in genealogy. The happiest, most peaceful holiday to you is our wish,
filled with appreciation for your God, your family, and your friends.

One Hundred Year Old Friendship Quilt
JCGS member, Fern Parris Hensley, recently came in contact with a Friendship Quilt that was completed in 1916. She patiently researched all of the names that were represented on the quilt. She has succeeded in finding all but two of the women. She has complied a book about the quilt and the women involved in its construction. The book is in our library in the office. She was helped by several people in compiling the information about the church, quilt and the people involved.

From the Editor
Does anyone know what season it is at the moment? Three weeks ago we were shivering through a
blackberry winter that was breaking records in many places, then in the last few days we have sweltered.
When we would complain as children about the weather, our very wise mother would inform us that it was '
not a bit of our business. Wise words indeed. y
Join us in this issue for our usual mixture of official records, family descent, the continuation of the
cemetery census we have been publishing, a small humorous recipe, and some excellent how-to materials
from the North Carolina State Archives. We also, of course, have some fine old photographs for your perusal.
Notice on the first page this time about our picnic announcement, and make sure to return your

Dedication
This issue of Journeys Through Jackson is dedicated to the memory of JCGS member R.L.
Crawford. Robert Lester Crawford Jr. passed away Sunday June 2. We and R.L. would have
funny conversations about the similarities of our names, even though we were not related. (R.L.
was a descendant of the Macon County, thus Haywood County, Crawford family as contrasted to
the Willets and Cullowhee Crawfords of Jackson County, and even though many persons have
expended great genealogical efforts, those families have not been connected after 1769.) R.L.
was an Air Force veteran of World War U, and was a much-liked member of our Society. We
extend our sympathy to his widow, children, and grandchildren.
Announcements
Make your plans now to be with the Society at the annual picnic in August. On Thursday August
8 at 6:30 p.m., we will gather at the WCU picnic area for our meal and our annual awards
presentation. We hope to see you there. Please find your Holden Award nomination with this
issue and mail to the Society address.
Sold out. The second volume of Jackson County Heritage is no longer available; therefore,
members who know of persons interested in purchasing a copy should take their names and
addresses for a waiting list. We will need 100 names before we can consider a reprint.
Deanne Gibson Roles, our Technology Coordinator, reports that she is now placing notices of
family reunions at our Website. An excellent idea.
Genealogy fairs and seminars coming up this summer in Macon County (June) and Rowan
County (August).

Above, a fine photograph of the Caney Fork Nicholson family. This picture shows the R.A. and
Miranda Hooper Nicholson family, and is submitted by JCGS member Kenneth Nicholson,
who identifies the following: On the back row are Marion, G.T., the parents R.A. and Miranda,
Hut, Lucy (who married into the Queen family), and Will. The lads in the next row are Marion's
sons excpt for G.T.'s son Raymond Sr. on the right. The seated ladies are Marion's wife Ellen
(Wood), G.T.'s wife Parthenia (Page), Varinia (who married into the Stephens family), Hut's
wife Lola (Stephens), and the other women and children are not yet identified. The little boys in
front include G.T.'s sons John and Burder on the left and three others. Kenny would welcome
further identifications. We would estimate the year of this picture as about 1908 - 1910.

The picture above is not as old as the photos we usually run, but the subject is a living - history
example that is worth preserving. The persons in the picture are identified as Talmadge
Monteith, Edith Monteith, and Wiley Green, and the photograph shows a sorghum mill in
operation between Dillsboro and Barker's Creek. Submitted by JCGS member Tim Barker, who
obtained the photo from Dale Pittman. (Photograph credit - Van Fossen Photos, Chicago,

[Ed. It is hardly the scope of our publication to delve into all of the political convolutions and shenanigans centering
around the status of the American Indian. In a nutshell, let it be sufficient to say that the state of North Carolina gave a
halfhearted effort to provisions of the 1819 treaty which would allow the Cherokees individual reservations. These
papers predate the Indian removal efforts of the 1830's by some years, and show that the Cherokees who lived in the
Smoky Mountains were to be exempt from the controversies that surrounded the Trail of Tears by the mere fact that
they were property owners in the state of Norm Carolina. If all of this had come to pass, then the history of our
immediate area would have been somewhat different from the way it eventually transpired. We all know that a federal
reservation was eventually a reality. We all also know the disgraceful way that the American Indian was treated, even
if some of us' would prefer to deny the facts. But with political opinions and sermons aside, here are some factual
documents from our area from the early 1820's. Transcribed by Larry Crawford from material gathered in the North
Carolina State Archives in the Haywood County loose court papers January 2002.]

"A true and acerat [Ed. "accurate" is our best guess. This man was challenged even more than
many of his contemporaries where spelling was concerned, and we suspect that he made some of
the Cherokee names unrecognizable.] Numeration of the Indians that is living on the purches also
the number of reservations that has been Surved. I was at a loss to distinguish the age and sects
and have added each family together."

[Ed. The following are court cases with Cherokees as plaintiffs against white men who have
encroached on the formers' land. We do not have the outcomes of the trials or hearings. In at
least one case, a defendant (Bryson) was the ancestor of many JCGS members. It is also likely
that we have JCGS members who are descended from the plaintiffs or certainly from the list

[Ed. This case had begun back in 1822. George Dickey and Jacob Shuler were bound to Bear
Going in the Hole for one hundred pounds in October of 1822. We are forced to admit here that
we succumbed to the temptation of using this suit partially because of the very colorful name of
the Plaintiff. Did this name get shortened through the years? Another reason we used this one is
because we have JCGS members who are lineal descendants of the Defendant and Co-Bondsman

Journeys Through Jackson is the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. Members and non-members are invited to submit
genealogical materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical content, clarity, or
taste. The Society assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, and except where noted, the opinions expressed are
not those of the editor or of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other
non-profit groups.
From the Editor
We finish this year in the Jackson County Genealogical Society with a wide range of feelings and
emotions. In this past year alone, we have said goodbye in these pages to an unusually high number of our
friends in the Society, and we never do so without the ambivalence of loss and hope for a rewarding eternity.
For all of those families who have had their Uves touched in this way, we again offer our sympathy.
In another respect, we have had the most successful year in the history of our Society. When Tommy
Sutton, James Massingale, Thomas Kryssbek, and Paul Lindsay paid membership dues late in the year, they
pushed us over another membership record. We thank you gentlemen, one and all.
Another wonderful gift came to the Society from JCGS member Hazel Barker, and with its impetus,
the Society voted to purchase a new microfilm machine. We now have a very fine reader at the office, and
a number of donated rolls of film. The Society plans to purchase more rolls in the future, so that we may have
yet another resource for the good of our membership.
We don't live in a perfect world, nor is our group a perfect microcosm. But we will take what we have
and be grateful for the opportunity to preserve more of the history of Jackson County's families. We have
some of the most interesting meetings held in Western North Carolina, and those meetings are always well-attended.
Philosophically, we have a healthy abhorrence of both sloth and snobbery, and we work diligently
to ensure their continued absence.
May all of you have the happiest holiday ever, and may all of you renew your membership.

because he has a talent for finding (and sharing) old photographs in his family. On this page,
Benjamin Evans Buchanan and his first family. In the front row are Victoria Nancy, age 7;
Benjamin, holding Octa; Maude B., age 4. In the back are James Nathaniel, age 15; the wife
and mother, Josepha Lucille Elmore Buchanan; Emma E., age 17; William Elmer, age 11; and
Enley E., age 8.[Ed. This photograph would have been taken in 1899, since Emma (Mrs. Arthur
Allen) was born in 1882, and Octa (Mrs. Bedford Ensley) was born in 1898.]

Carl also shares with us this picture of Benjamin -Evans Buchanan, this time with part of his
second family in the yard of the farm house. In the front are Mary Alethia (1910-1988),
Buchanan, Wade Hampton (1911-1988), second wife Carolina Buena Vista Isabelle Thompson
(1880-1955), William Roosevelt (1912-1999), and Missouri Ellener (1908-1988). The taller girl
in the back is Carrie, a daughter from the first family, 1901-1988. She would become Carrie
Buchanan Ward. Benjamin Evans Buchanan and his second wife had eight children.

Now here is one for members to study around that winter fire. Carl Sutton relates that the man
third from the right is Leroy Sutton (1891 - 1974), son of William Allen Sutton. Carl would
like to know the identities of any of the other men, as well as the location and the type of business
pictured here. We can see what appear to be bolts of cloth, grips, other luggage on the top, an
umbrella, possibly shoeboxes. Was this a general mercantile business with dry goods. Help,
members?

"I don’t really like tedious, monotonous work": working-class young women, service sector employment and social mobility in contemporary Russia
No full textThis article contributes a global perspective to the emerging literature on girlhood in western contexts by examining the changing shape of transitions to adulthood amongst working-class young women in St. Petersburg, Russia. As in many western countries, new forms of service sector employment and an increasingly accessible higher education system appear to offer young women new prospects for social mobility. In contrast to the increasingly impoverished and denigrated traditional pathways into work, the young women in the study derive significant value from these new opportunities, constructing narratives of self-actualisation and approximating notions of respectable femininity. Nevertheless, actual social mobility is elusive, as familiar patterns of classed and gendered stratification limit their prospects. Despite its specificity, the case thus further illustrates the limited nature of the transformations available to young women through the new forms of education and work characteristic of global neoliberal contexts

Journeys Through Jackson is the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. Members and non-members are invited to
submit genealogical materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical
content, clarity, or taste. The Society assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, and except where noted,

publication except for notices from other non-profit groups.
The year 2020 will go down in history as a strange and unusual year. While socially distancing, we have been
busy doing genealogical research. As we go forward into future issues of JTJ, the fruits of that research will begin
to show up.
We hope that everyone has been safe and taking care of themselves.
Our office is now opened on limited basis, but feel free to come in and do some research.
We are still working on the update for the Cemetery Book, if you would like to help with that, please get in
touch with us.
As always, if you have any pictures, stories, or research that you would like to share with us, please feel free to
share that with us.

This is My Life
An Autobiography by Ralph Lindon Allen
Edited by Robert Jordan Allen
Part 2
So, we asked around about Niagara. A lady said there was no bus route to the fort. She also said she had no idea
why we would be going out there. We wondered what we were getting into. We later found that the French had built
the Fort way back years ago at the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario, which was now a tourist place to visit.
Anyhow, I made a friend that day even though we had much rather had been back home. I used Milton's shaving kit
and borrowed some underwear. We checked every bus that came in for my luggage. Then about 5 o'clock my luggage
came in, and you talk about relief The city of Niagara Falls put us on a bus to transport us to Niagara. The bus fort to
the Fort at dark and set us out at what we thought to be a bus stop. A Sergeant came and marched us to a building
where we ate supper. Rushing, we loaded onto an old army bus and went down a long road into what the sergeant in
charge called the boondocks. At the end of the road, we came to some barrack type buildings. Behind the gates we
were told which building to sleep in. It was late and everyone was tired. We had not been told anything else and we
went to bed expecting to be up early next morning. But no one called until later in the morning. We went to breakfast
in a new mess hall and a short time later a Sergeant and Captain cane in and talked to us.
We would be assigned to the l" missile battalion of Niagara, New York. We would be starting school in a few
days. The first thing that needed to happen was to be cleared for top secret. About twenty-five of us passed those tests.
The ones that didn't pass were sent to Fort Drum as infantry units. We were moved a ways down the road to another
barracks building. This was a 3 Vi mile from the mess hall and classroom. For a long time, we marched or double
timed to the mess hall and school. There were mounds all around this enclosed area and the grass was mowed once a
week. We were eventually given a bus to make this trip to meals and school. This went on for sixteen weeks. We knew
how to load missiles on launchers and run the fire control panels but we never saw a real missile until school was
finished. We were taken to the mounds after and saw everything was underground. The air defense missiles system
was operated out of the mountain at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The President of the United States of America was
the only one who could give the orders to fire. Each battery also had atomic bombs loaded on large four-booster
missiles. Our communications was tied into Alaska, Greenland, Iceland and all across Canada. This was called the
D.E.W. Line, Distant Early Warning. Any aircraft that came into our system had to identify itself At this time we
were in race with the USSR. They had threatened to come over the north pole and blow up our large plants from the
Midwest to New England. It was our job to shoot any aircraft down when they entered our zone, that was off limits.
Also, any shipping on the St. Lawrence Seaway'. In 1966 the Russians started dismounting their threats to the USA.
If they had tried this attack against us, we would have fired all the missiles and atomic weapons in our control. This
would have been the atomic battle that everyone has read about. War had never before reached this point. If that
happened, and we survived, we would have been put in as a ground force to protect the area around us. We had lots
of good training. It was hard work. I was moved with our little group of men to C. Battery in Grand Island, New York,
between Niagara Falls and Buffalo. It had a good defense system as there was water all around us, not a large
population of people on the island and only two bridges at the time as access points.
I went home on leave to be with Gail when Sheila was to be bom. On the trip I took a bus to Cleveland, Ohio then
a Greyhound to Knoxville, Tennessee. In two rides I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. As always, I stayed around the
bus station at night. Walt came and picked me up around 5 in the morning after I had called to Barkers Creek. We got
to Barkers Creek about daybreak. Gail was fine. We visited around with the folks. My leave time was running out, the
Red Cross made this call. I called back to home base at Grand Island, New York. I talked with my Captain and got
my leave extended for a week. On the fifth day Gail went to the old Harris Hospital on Ridge Street. That night Sheila
was bom and she was a fine baby girl. I had to leave early in the moming. Mont gave me a ride to the old Asheville
Airport in Fletcher. I boarded a DC-4^ and off I went. We had stops along the way at Kingsport, Tennessee, Bluefield,
' A system of locks, canals and channels in Canada and the United States that permits oceangoing vessels to travel

West Virginia and Harrisburg, West Virginia. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we changed to jet service to Buffalo, New
York. From there we took a taxi to base. At the main gate a guard on duty advised me that I better check in with the
Sergeant of the guard at the orderly room. I found out I had been AWOL for a week. I checked the work log and I was
on guard duty from midnight to 6 am that night. I went to the barracks and got in uniform then went back to the main
gate to stand guard. The next morning Captain Allen was one of the first to come in for work. Just as soon as he saw
me he remembered talking to me at home, guess what, he had forgotten to extend my leave. That was taken care of
first thing that morning. In fact, those seven days showed up on my last paycheck as leave time. Remember, our whole
unit was about 35 men. Everyone knew each other. Looking back from another time I kindly look at our whole unit at
C. Battery as a band of brothers working together.
Time moved on. The next leave time came around. I was going home to Gail and Sheila. I hadn't seen Sheila up
until this time. Milton MahafTey from Tucker, Georgia and Howard Mills from Kekut, Iowa were going on leave
also and decided to drop me off in Sylva. Howard had a 55 Ford Fairlane. Off we went to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
We got on Highway 1 to Bluefield to Knoxville to Sylva. I think they saw all of the mountains they wanted to see.
Gail picked me up at the water fountain on main street with a bouncing baby girl. This was much better leave than the
last one. Time went by and I left from Asheville on a long bus ride back to Grand Island, New York. My next trip was
to Fort Bliss, Texas by charter plane and from there to McGregory Range way out in the desert. We stayed there for
a while firing some missiles at drone planes flying over. We got some good Training there. With confidence, we could
shoot down USSR military planes and intercontinental ballistic missiles that were pointed at us. Time moves on. We
went back to Fort Bliss. Then back on a plane landing at Fort Worth, Texas. We had engine problems, so we changed
to another plane and were back in the air to Niagara Falls Air Force base. A bus picked us up and took us on the Grand
Island. We were on lO-minute standby a lot for weeks and were confined to the launch area. Then it went to every
other week. The only recreation we had was a pool table. My paychecks got up to 15 left to last a month.
The days passed slowly as our discharge day started drawing near. Thomas Pope from Wilson, North Carolina
had asked me to ride with him on our way home. He had to wait a day on me before I could get cleared off the base.
When I was all clear, we headed south to North Carolina. He set me off on US 64 just out of Raleigh, duffle bag and
all. I got a ride to Lexington. This man I got a ride from dropped me off at the Erianger Cotton Mill where Gail and I
had worked at one time. I always found it hard to travel at night. Edward was working second shift. It was just about
time for him to get off work so I spent that night with him. Early on Sunday morning, he put me back on US 64 on
the way to Mocksville. I had a bad trip to Hickory as drunks will pick up a soldier in uniform. I got lucky in Hickory
and found a man going to Cullowhee. He gave me a good trip to Sylva.
After the Army
I was back home with Gail and Sheila. We rented Annie Buchanan's house on Sugar Fork, Greens Creek. We
lived there for a little while. Eventually, Annie wanted her house back, so we moved to Richard Hall's house on up
the creek. Gail and I were both working. One of us took Sheila every morning to Mon and Dad's on the head of
Brashey Fork and picked her up in the evening. I was working with Daddy and Earlye Buchanan on Balsam cutting
timber. Gail was working in the sewing plant. An old Army buddy of mine, Thomas Pope, came visiting one time at
Richard's place. The next move we made was to the Mill House on Barker's Creek.
There was a lot of cleaning up around the Mill House. After we got moved in, I went to work with Jack's crew
picking road banks so that grass could grow. We also cleaned steep banks. I think the pay was 90 cent an hour. The
hardest bank I worked on was just below the Fontana Dam on NC 28 to Dills Gap at the Tennessee line. One man had
to hold the rope so the other could go down the steep banks while holding on. Hampton Johnson and myself worked
together on this job. Jack would pick us up around the time we should have been to Bryson City. Then we would see
how fast we could get to Dillsboro at 7 o'clock. We made the run to Topton, out to Robbinsville, to Andrews and
Murphy and to the Tennessee line. Then we would go back to Murphy to Peachtree to Hayesville to Franklin. Then
down 441 to the Georgia line and back 441 to Dillsboro by quitting time. We also cut the grass on traffic islands and
at the Welcome to North Carolina at the Tennessee line. We also did the Georgia line on 441, all for 54. So I got my things together,
left Gail, Sheila and my Plymouth car. I took the 55 Olds two door hardtop. I left around Sunday and turned south on
441 in route to South Bay, Florida. I ran into a bad storm in north Georgia and drove in it until I got to Fargo, Georgia.

I stopped to buy gas and dozed off while the attendant pumped gas. He advised me to pull over and sleep for a while.
That station was in a big swamp. The station attendant said it was a long way to Lake City, Florida. With the windows
down the mosquitos swarmed inside the car. So, I got back behind the wheel and headed South. There were only two
roads to Belle Glade and 441 South was one of them. I arrived around 3 o'clock. I was around 23 hours getting to
South Bay. Bill would soon be home from work. So, I was planning on finding a place to live. Bill and his wife Cathy
and Billy lived in a house. It was small, but I stayed with them a few days to see what we could find for work out at
Okeeianta Farm.
The next day I road to Okeeianta with Bill. We spent most of the day riding around the farm. Bill was the tractor
shop superintendent. He had hired some younger boys just about the same time 1 had called him. Roger Walker was
one of those just out of school who would later be my friend and neighbor. Some others, such as welders and mechanics
were in school. A new President for the company was away someplace as owner with 80% of everything on Okeeianta
Properties. Land had been purchased, and they were buying new equipment. They were building a sugar mill to twice
the size it was. Cane had only been hauled to the mill by tractor and cane wagons up until this time. Bill had checked
around to see where I might fit in the best. We were at Mrs. Veardy's restaurant eating lunch. The field superintendent
came to lunch and sat down with Bill and me. He had just moved from Indian River Country working at a sugar mill
in Fellsmere, Florida. Bill told him I had come down from North Carolina to try to find work. He told him that we
were friends and he introduced me to Mr. Wilber Day. Bill got a call to come to the shop, so he left me with Wilber.
This started a friendship that went on for over 11 years. He and I looked over some new construction at the sugar mill.
The dump pit had been finished by none of the approach roads or landscaping had been done. Plans were to start
transporting sugar cane from ramps in the fields by truck and trailer to the dump pit that fed the sugar mill.
Bill and his family went on vacation to the mountains of North Carolina. I stayed at their place for a month. I was
working at the cane dump with an old D7 Cat Dozer. Got this in good shape. Wilber came around every hour or so. I
was driving my car to work at this time. One day he came by and said he found me a truck to drive back and forth to
work and we had some roads to build. We also had loading ramps to put up. A crew was clearing land south of the
railroad on 17, four miles inside the main farm property. Bill and his family were coming home that weekend. I had
found another friend. Woody O'Neal. Was one of the field foremen and he had just moved from Fellsmere. I told him
I was needing a place to rent. He and his family were living at Willits apartments. One came open next to where he
lived so I rented it. I got with Wilber and told him that I needed to go back the North Carolina and bring my family
down. Bill had got back by then and I borrowed a trailer from him. I put a trailer hitch on the car to pull it. Headed up
the road north. I took US 27 to Valoosa, GA. I checked at a station for road info and found that Interstate 75 was under
construction. Some people were driving it though so off I went. I drove on gravel off and on all night. 1 arrived at
Warner Robbins and cut across Macon to 441.
I made it home to pick up Gail, Sheila and some items that we would need in South Bay. We left the Mill House
on Barkers Creek to 441 south bound again. Darkness caught us in the Okefenokee Swamp. We were just north of
Fargo, GA. We stopped at the only little motel in Fargo. We made sandwiches and went to bed. We were at the bank
of the Swanee River. Every bug in the swamp was living around that motel. I guess you might say we rested for a
while. Early that morning we took 441 to Wildwood, Florida. We hit US 27 south bound. At that time state road 80
ran together to South Bay with US 27. It was a two-lane road from Lake Harbor to South Bay. It was lined with
Australian Pines on both sides. This

“Film Censorship in Western Australia: Public, Government and Industrial Responses 1898-1928”
Full text linkMuch work has been undertaken by legal writers on the present debates surrounding censorship in Australia.Many of these writings focus their critique on the extent to which Australian censorship law attempts to regulate public morality and the problems that arise form such an approach. Other work has critiqued the issue of whether this legislative sphere is best handled at the Federal level or the State level. While this work is important in its own right, very little of this work describes the historical debates and reform initiatives from which present legislative censorship policies now find their source. This leaves an unfortunate gap in the writing on state sanctioned censorship within this country, for without an understanding of the ways in which the public and past governments have responded to calls for tighter controls on what people should view, an incomplete understanding of the source and reasons for modern day censorship campaigns emerges.
This paper examines the responses made by the Western Australian public, government and film industry to the question of film censorship between 1898 and 1928: it examines the similarities and differences between Western Australian responses and responses in the eastern states. It aims to rectify two major imbalances in existing work: firstly, the stress upon eastern states' responses as representative of Australia as a whole; and secondly, the failure to integrate political, social and economic influences which shaped the development of film censorship. As well it identifies transitions in public perceptions of film between 1898 and 1928.
While there were similarities in Western Australia and eastern states' responses to film there were also differences, particularly in the way government and public organisations responded to the debate. In particular, the conclusion drawn in previous studies, that the public initially complained about film as medium rather than film's message is not true for Western Australia. As well, there were noticeable transitions in the way people perceived the effects of film. In the 1910s organisations did not complain about both the immorality of film content and the link between film and criminal behaviour. Rather the debate about criminal behaviour did not develop until after 1916 and this transition was a reflection of the changing content of film in this period. An examination of political, social and economic factors affecting film censorship in Western Australia indicates that an analysis of film censorship which ignores any of these factors within their historical context ignores the complex interplay which shaped Australian film censorship controls and which arguably impact upon present day censorship policies.
This paper is divided into five parts. Part One discusses the introduction of moving pictures into Western Australia and highlights some misconceptions which have occurred in previous studies of this early period. Parts Two and Three examine government, industrial and public responses to the question of film censorship between 1911 and 1927. Part four discusses the Minutes of Evidence from the Royal Commission and Part five provides the conclusion. Central to the paper is the changing public perceptions, between the early 1900s and 1927, of the effect of films upon the child and society
