material; and
WHEREAS, the sale and distribution of pornographic and obscene materials to
our youth has reached alarming proportions in the State of California; and

material within the state, that this state has become known as a leading center for
the distribution of smut; and

magazine and newstands frequented by persons under the age of eighteen years,
which material is unsuitable for such young persons; and

attempted to sponsor legislation which would curb and prevent the distribution
and exhibition of obscene and pornographic material to minors which legislation
has heretofore failed to be approved by the California Legislature,
