FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1927 HIGHWAY POLICE EFFICIENCY The possible setting up of a precedent in the cont awarding of damages against Provincial Constable Cooksman of Whitby, for his partial responsibility in an automobile collision, which czcurred when the officer was in the discharge of his duties, is one of serious coneein tothe Provincial Highway Traffic Police: Foree as a whole. don 1} Government motor vehicles ave provin, cial constables gre not insured. Insofar as that' lacl: of insurance reminds the drivers that they cannot wantonly risk lives and property in. the discharge of their duties, that policy. is very \ Se. i ) jul at the same time the imperative condi- a of the highway traffic pelice service is sad. The reckless driver hurtling along at' t 3 miles an hour is not going to be caught: hy v officer travelling within the legal speed The hit-and-run driver, the moter ages most vicious product, must be, pursued and aught at once if at all. t Which means that the highway police service must, at some points, be placed above the law. me no-insurance policy makes its officers swerable to the courts for criminal negli- w.onee the same as any other citizens. But 'Here, as in Mr. Cooksman's case, no criminal roziigence was either 'imputed or established, and where his responsibility was found by a jury to be merely contributory though by 75 per cent., the Department concerned should not allow Mr. Cooksman or any other officer simi- liarly placed to be out-of-pocket thereby. Failure to accept the responsibility in Mr. Cuoksman"s case would merely establish a pre- .edent which would seriously hamper the -ef- ficiency of the entire force. Nothing hurts morale more than the failure of authority to back up its servants. Nothing would please the many varieties of criminals who have made 2 shamble of Ontario's highways than to know that 'the Department refuses fair play to the men who serve it and the public at large. HOSTILITY TO YOUTH One of the things wrong with Canada, and clearly evident in Oshawa, is adult hostility to youth, it exists despite the understanding of some and the sacrifices of others. It operates with oid contempt of organizations which are dedi- wted to better childhood in general or better Loyheod in particular. it is a mean, stealthy, gossiping kind of at- itude, as devoid of understanding of youth's zl problems as -if 'the young were creatures another species, ol illustrate; A lad was victimized by .~unken fools on the streets of this city Tues- 17 night. He was taken to Toronto by force, 1d managed to escape from a trip that might have'ended fatally but for the fact that he had his wits about him and there is a God of Mercy over all. But did official Oshawa regard this incident with 'alarm? - Did it, at once, begin to put in motion that machinery which should bring these culprits to justice in order that an ex- suniple may be made of them for the safeguard- "ing of child life throughout Ontario? The answer is "No!" i The Crown Attorney was not informed of the matter officially at 10 a.m. Thursday. He acted' on his own responsibility after that and i the credit of the office to which he has so r vacently been appointed. But elsewhere in the city the incident was viewed with an apathy that is usually given the story! of an atrocity in China. Hearing the news story confirmed by word-ofrmouth wit- ness, some ventured to express opinions. , These ranged, for the most part, between that ancient vapidity that "you can't believe what you see in the newspapers" to "what's the world coming to?" The eternal problem of youth is not to 'be <slved by mere money or by hired officials of {his or that uplift who, however excellent, re- ard philanthropy -as'a job.

The Police of Oshawa: are in possession of facts that, if made public, would rouse thé manhood of this city to fury and strike Soni to the hearts of its womanhood. : Tha Oshawa Daily, Times knows those fact} but out of pity fer the victim, it refrains from publishing 'them for the time being. This paper does not desire to pose as an alarmist, but it has the courage to bear thot imputation in view of the seriousness of the situation. With earnestness and sincerity, the house- holders of Oshawa are warned "Guard your homes!" Until such time as civic authorities move in the matter of adequate police protection, de- fenceless women of this city--our city--are not safe. This meansslocks that can hold against night prowling beasts, and locks not only in the ob- vious, places but on that little latched side or cellar 'doorwhich we leave unguarded through laziness, lost keys, or a human conceit that the casual thief will not be able to discover it. The situation in this city is, in fact, so en- tively hideous that it is only in a confident be- lief that the aldermen will also read this warn- ing, inform themselves of the facts in the pessession of the police and the city hospital, and take action already too long delayed in the matter of public safety that this warning is not made infinitely stronger, and so plain that even those who put a cheese-paring of taxes above the honor of womanhood would he forced to act. KEEP OFF OUR AIR! Canadian delegates to the Internav.onal Radio Conference at Washington have obtain- ed sole control of certain etheric wave bands needed for the direction of aircraft in the Do- minion; With this point gained, Canada's sovereignty in its own atmosphere seems more or less established. Perhaps a particularly vicious form of static can be put into service as radio police. and to snarl their warnings at intruders. ' The other important fact about the Inter- national Radio Conference as regards Canada was the statement that in Forestry Protection from the air this Dominion leads the world. This form of leadership is of the kind that makes ior national greatness. Yet, the pity of it, aerial patrols over Canadian forests only approach the problem from one angle. Ever greater inroads are made into Canada's wealth of standing timber. Some good work is done in the way of reforestation, but as yet no national policy has been put into effect which will guarantee future generations against a lumber shortage. In other words, Canada is living on its capi- tal so far as its forest wealth is concerned. That soit of thing leads to bankruptcy no mat- ter who practices it.

Winter brings back the man who takes a cold bath daily and lies about other things also.
