OntaxtO Plnne 983-530] ITS A TWO-SIDED POLICY The abolition of' the death penalty or the continuation of tue trail period again faces the government of Canada. It will be the goyernments and parliaments responsibility to sort tlirough the happenings and statistics of the past five years and to determine the effect that legisiation'in suspending the death sentence has or hias flot had in regards to instances of murder. It is difficuit to argue against the abolitionist when they state that nothi g is gained in taking a life for a life and that more is accomplished through reliabilitation of the offender. The pos- sibility does always exist. This is the Christian attitude, the code by which we tend to- live. Pertaining to be au abolitionist it must corneliard, to ac- cept the principle that the death penalty must remain for those who murder police and prison guards. Surely the chance of rehabili- tation is as opportune here as for those who take the life of the general public. The abolitionist ýalso contends that the death penalty is flot a deterrant of acts of murder but the retention of the deatli pen-' alty for those who take the life of a policeman or prison guard inust indicate a thèory that the penalty does contain a dtgree of restraint. The present policy, is in f act, contradictory. It must be that a haîf loaf is better than no loaf at ali. IT CAN'T BE ALL BAD> Premier William'Davis at a recent meeting in Oshawa made it quite clear that his governmnent was not lncined to extend the February 28th date for filing briefs in regards regional govern- ment in the Oshawa area. In this we would support the government as further time would really- benefit no one and enlydraw out the debate to a point that it would be most repetitious. Already the song lias become too old-liat and emotions have carried the dia- loque. Davis, in Oshawa, als statedthat th e provincial governifent idid back the airport and pronounced this development as part of the overail scheme for the- area east of Toronto. Hlis speech in Osh- awa did bring out somne facts for reasonable thought. The premier did state that it was'too soon to pass any deci- sion on wliether or not tlie Côbourg-Port Hope area will remaifi in the selieme. The Ontario Board of Education (Oshawa and district) lias promoted that tlie Regional area and tlie Board of Education area be one and the sane. Tlis is a reasonable.assumption and slioufl be carried out by the pr,wînce if only for integrated planning in itself. Surely we cannot continue witli a liodge-podge policy wliere ýeparate areas of authority liave different boundary areas. it would (;nly led to chaos. It is interesting to note that the opposition pariesi Toron- to, the, Liberalsanci NDPs, lave been quick to enter the fray, boili holdini- meetings lasi wcek in the hot-bed of Port Hope seeking opinions and in-put from wliat may be, las yet, an ill-inforined public. What we do need at this time is more out-put from tlie gov- ernmlent so the pubic can become better infonned. 'The province-is currently holding closed meetingswith municipal council members. This is'fine but we contend that at least the news media sliould be admnitted so they in turn, can be more objective in infornting public. Our electedt representatives also hold the responsibility of jnforming tlie public and inClarke we >wold suggest tliat the mun- icîpality at least liold a public meetingto inform 'their public. The need today is an informed public and leadersliip from the province. tic PORT HOPE DISCONTENTED Intimations that Port Hope is the anlv area which lias register- ed disconte t with the Oshawa centred region proposals were made by Alex Carruthers, MPP for Durhanm at the Port Hope Rotary Club meeting lild Mon- dlay of last week. Hie urgaed tlie people ta le 4'psitive" and to look at all as- pects of the proposaI. and of re- gional goverfiment before comning te a conclusion and warned about the danger of "tlirowing the baby out witl tlie bath water." At the beginning of wvlat could only le describecd as a "fr"speech, Mr. Carruthers said one of tle most dangerous enemies threatening aur demo- cratic way of if e and community development is "apatliy" on tlie part of tle public. This "apathy" was apparent rinlg tle municipal elections, le said, when less than 50 per cent of the people of Port Hope used t'heir franchise and tlie fig- ure in Hope Township was only 18 p'er cent.
