She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Tuesday, November 4, 1958 Hunters Should Improve Their Public Not long ago a Western Ontario farmer appeared in court after he be- came provoked at a father and son who passed by a "No Trespassing" sign on his property and started shooting at tin cans in a dump. When the farmer, who could not speak English too well, directed their attention to the sign they paid no heed and be- cause he and his wife had been working nearby, and were afraid of being un- witting targets, he lost his temper and damaged the car of the hunters consider- ably. While we do not excuse the farmer for causing such damage it would ap- pear from evidence given in the court that there wa some provocation. And that his case is not an isolated one has been revealed in a survey made by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests in one township in the Lake Erie district, Which township was cov~ ered was not revealed, but it might apply to one in Oxford County. The Department, in conjunction with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, sought to determine why 6,340 acres 'in the area concerned had been posted against hunters. After interview- ing 63 farmers it was concluded that "if organized spo-tsmen would spend a little time and effort in building up bet- ter relations wit" the, farmer, conditions would be vastly improved." It is a good Relations idea that might be extended to all hun ters, organized or not, : Of the 63 farmers questioned, only two did not Hunt, Twenty-nine stated they would allow most people to hunt on their farms if permission were asked, Eigheen said they would allow neigh- bors and relatives only. Six stated that if crops were off they would allow hunt- ing on their property. Only 10 refused to allow hunting at all. That last finding is important. Most farmers, it would appear, know from personal experience the pleasures to be derived from hunting and they would be ready to allow others to enjoy the same pleasure on. their own property, within reason. At the same time they don't care to have their land overrun by hunters who have regard for lives or property. Land and Forest officials made a sug- gestion that we think is a good one, Be- lieving that the word: "No Trespassing" do not mak» fo. goodwill and co-opera= tion, they ask that signs be made to read: "Hunting With Permission." This is a more positive approach and most of the farmers in the survey agreed to con= sider it, : But whether it is in this are area or in more remote hunting grounds, hunters should consider that the goodwill of the farmer is valuable and should be en- couraged rather than alienated, Road Dawdlers Menace Traffic safety officials are constantly warning motorists to beware of high speed. on our highways. They appear, however, to give little thought to the hazarfls that are created by the man who goes dangerously slow, Everyone who travels on weekends around this district is familiar with the slow driver, He pokes along at a snail's pace, Behind him is a growing line of ears -- filled with fuming, frustrated motorists, The slow motorists is a highway hazard because he creates the very acci- dents. which, by his caution, he ap- parently wishes to avoid. Jury System The jury system is under fire again and from a familiar quarter. Periodi- cally 'over a considerable time now it has bpen a target for batteries manned by gunners from the law and the press, #0 to speak, reinforced by an occasion- al sniper taking pot shots on hic own. Correctly enough, this may be termed a sort of civil war, since the system does not lack defenders in the ranks of both professions. None of the attackers, so far as has been observed, wants to see the petit jury completely abolished. They seek to re- tain it up to a noint. The latest attack, which' was launched during the meeting in Toronto of the Canadian Bar Associa- tion, §s a good illustration in this res- pect. There, a strongly supported opinion was expressed that, in civil cases the services of the traditional twelve good men (and women) and true should be dispensed with and that the matters at issue be decided by iudges alone, Even there 'some lawyers dissented, From another and related source has come a further suggestion that the same method of dispending justice should be adopted in criminal cases below the Supreme Court level. The idea promoted there is that three judges should sit in county and district courts, hear the evi- dence and determine the verdict accord- ingly. Presumably, the inference is that if they disagreed the majority would prevail, which brings up another angle to th) subject -- to wit, the necessity in criminal cases of the jury being un= animous in their members' findings. In some lands, but not in Ontario wherd the English insistence upon all jurors being agreed in their verdict pre- vails, the fate of the prisoner 'at the bar may be determined by a bare majority among the odd number of citizens who, in suth circumstances, function rather hye Oshawa Times T.

They will be com= pelled to weave in an out of line, and, all too frequently, the venture ends in a collision with an oncoming vehicle. There is, of corse, a law against dawdling. But it is not strictly enforced. We are not trying to make a case for fast driving. Proper speed regulations are built on reasonable caution, with due regard for the condition of the high- way, and the desires and skills of the majority of drivers who are in the long run, sensible people, Under Fire than the time-honored dozen elsewhere. That condition obtains in the most ser- ious cases, ever in capital charges. It is probable, though, that a narrow margin for conviction would have its effect upon the authorities in determining the sen- tence to be served by an accused. The right of anyone charged with an offence. to have his case passed upon by a jury of his peers goes far back into history. It is a right not lightly to be restricted, whatever the reasons may be which are advanced for doing so. In the civil courts thr complexities of modern living possibly have outmoded the jury system to some extent, but even there proposed changes merit careful study, In criminal cases and civil actions the object is to see justice prevail, an aim to be kept steadily in view when schemes for reforming the jury system are pro=- posed, Other Editor's Views ANCIENT PROFESSION (Winnipeg Tribune) Dr. Alfred Savage of the University of Michigan .notes that the veterinary profession is at least 4,000 year: old. Evidence to support this assumption is found in the laws of ancient Babylon codified about 2100 B.C. One of these laws reads as follows: "If a doctor of horses and oxen has treated an animal and cured it the owner shall pay to the doctor one sixth of a shekel of silver as his fee." The next regulation con=- siders the opposite result and names the penalty the doctor must pay if he "caused it to die." CLERGY AND BEER HANDLERS (Windsor Star) There is a moral somewhere in the foilowing: you find it: United Church of Canada raises annual salaries of ministers to $3,400. Beer-handlers set= tle for $4,300. THE CASE OF ADAMS (Washington Post) Adams committed what were in any- one's book vast indiscretions in accep= ting gifts from and making telephone calls for Mr. Goldfine. What made his position impossible, however, was the faet that neither he nor the president seemed willing to make more than a backhanded acknowlegement of error. This attitude, n an administratior that came to power virtually swimming in self-righteousness was too much.

It is not surprising that there are many associations con- cerned with the manufacture, sale, use and service of the mighty automobile. It is no ex- aggeration to suggest that the success of one such body, The Federation of Automobile Deal- ers, has been indirectly respons- ible for the need for another: The Canadian Highway Safety Con- ference The most active of these bodies is the Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, which among other achievements has made this the best documented industry in Canada in respect to records and statistics. Some fig- ures recently released by this ad- mirable body tell everything about your .car, from assembly line to scrap heap, from the number of new cars sold to the number of deaths they cause There are no figures on the first. degree murders caused by drunk- en drivers PROVINCE BY PROVINCE Did you know that the motor- ists in British Columbia are our worst served, with only one fill- ing station to every 171 motor vehicles? That little P.E.I.. can do the tourist and the resident better, with one filling station to each 82 vehicles? Did you know that there is one highway accident for every 20 motor vehicles during the year, with one accident in four result- ing in death or injury to a human being? Saskatchewan, 1 was surprised to learn has the longest mileage of roads of any province, nearly double the length of roads in the second most-roaded province, Al- berta, and more than double the 75,000 miles in Ontario. Ontario has 12,000 miles of con- crete or bituminous roads to boast Canada's longest total of paved roads; and Ontario's 54,- 000 miles of crushed stone or gravel surfaced roads is top in that category. Saskatchewan's 134,000 miles of dirt roads is an easy winner in that class, while New Brunswick can boast by far the lowest total of unsurfaced roads, with only eight miles in dirt, Last year 33,230 workers were employed by the motor vehicle manufacturers; 21,471 worked in motor vehicle parts plants; 13.925 in the petroleum products indus- try; and 23,136 in the rubber products industry--all associated with the motor vehicle. TAXES AND PRICES Some figures .re not specific- ally listed by the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, but some calculations with my slide rule yield these interesting approxi- mations. The average motor vehicle was driven 8,177 miles last year; petrol consumption averaged 12 miles to the gallon (which makes my old Oldsmobile look like a petrol-economizer) Each vehicle owner paid an average of $100.56 in licence fees and gasoline tax to provincial governments during the year. The average new vehicle sold yielded $359 in sales tax and ex- cise tax to the Federal govern. ment, All governments received $617,- 428,000 in various taxes from road users. They paid out $886 - 382,000 for the construction and maintenance of roads, highways and bridges. The average new car had a factory price of $1,881; taxes amounting to $329 were !ovied by the federal government; and the retail price averaged $2,846. Over the last 13 years, the number of motor vehicles regis- tered in Canada has tripled --and the number of persons killed or injured in highway accidents in- volving motor vehicles has quad- rupled. FOR BETTER HEALTH How Spinal Anesthesia Does Its Special Work HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD In response to a great many inquiries, .I'm going to explain a little about spinal anesthesia today. Most of you are familiar with inhalation anesthesia and local anesthesia. With the former, vou are put te sleep while sur- gery is performed. In the latter, a relatively small area of the body is anesthetized. By using spinal anesthesia, a doctor can "put to sleep" as much of the lower portion of the body as he desires, keeping the upper portion awake. Thus, with a spinal, you can remain awake during an opera- tion yet never feel a thing. Here's how it works: The anesthetist inserts a small amount of local anesthetic into the skin low in the back. From here on, the entire procedure is practically painless. USE OF NEEDLE The next step is to insert a long, slender hollow needle into the' locally anesthetized 'area. This needle is very cqrefully placed in a space between two vertebrae and also through the membrance of the tubular sac which contains the spinal fluid When this fluid enters the needle, the anesthetist knows it is in the proper place. He then in- Jects an anesthetic solution through the needle. The solution bathes the nerves running from the spinal cord in the area in the anesthetic, thus anesthetizing Now spinal fluid containing an anesthetic is heavier than spinal fluid alone. And this can be work- ed to the anesthetist's advan- tage. - Simply by adjusting the head of the operating table higher or lower he can regulate with great accuracy just how high the anes- thetic will spread along the ~pinal cord The cord, you see, is a long, soft cord-like structure floating in the fluid. It ranges from the base of the skull downward. TWO NERVE TYPES There are two types of nerves branching out from the cord. These are the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. The sensory nerves carry sensations to the brain and the motor nerves transfer impulses from the brain to the muscles. It is these im- pulses which make the muscles move. Since the anesthetic solution works on both types of nerves, the brain feels no pain and the muscles temporarily are unable to function. QUESTION AND ANSWER C.A. Is there some sort of so- dium shot which helps in motion sickness? A. Recently, injection of sodium bicarbonate has proved helpful in preventing motion sickness in some cases for as long 'as one month.

Stewart Alger presented the Felt Trophy, for the largest fish caught by a member of the Osh- awa Fish and Game Association, to Reg Locke. Thomas Dalgliesh was elected pre-ident of the Oshawa Burns Club. Other officers elected were: John McNab, honorary president; T. Hopkins, vice-president; W. C. Young, secretary and Charles Eder, treasurer, Miss Elda Mountjoy, Miss Vel- ma Harris and Stephen Saywell took prominent parts at a con- gress held in Orono of the Osh- awa Presbytery Young People's Union. Robert Mills received the new Conant Trophy given to the Osh- awa Fish and Game Association for the outstanding sportsman of the year. Allin F. Annis, Crown Attorney, spoke to the Rotary Club about the origin of Hallowe'en and of present day vandalism. The Oshawa Fish and Game Association had as guest speaker at a meeting Professor J. R. Dy- mond, Director of the Ontario Museum of Zoology, Toronto, who urged his listeners to ob- serve the game laws. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "In the interest of security in this atomic age, people the world over must learn to trust one an- other," says a writer. Yes after first schooling themselves to be trustworthy "A Frenchman is in the U.S. teaching American girls how to get the best effect in wearing sweaters.'--Press report. That's comparable to teaching ducks how to swim, "A physician says eating let- tuce will enable a person to de- velop a taste for good music." -- Press report. The rock-'n'-roll addict should be fed a head of lettuce before each meal and one at bedtime. "In addition to free spéech a person also has the right to keep his opinion to himself," says a judge. It's a right that's seldom exercised. "Scientists are trying to de- velop an egg so tough that it will bounce instead of breaking when dropped." -- Press report. If they succeed, still another gadget will have to be added to the kitchen, namely, an egg-opener. First Station Aids Pressure Gas Pipeline WINNIPEG (CP)--The first of six compressor stations to be built this year to raise pressure in the trans-Canada natural gas Jivoiie now is in operation near Tre. The station is one of 27 that will eventually be needed to force s through the 2,330-mile pipe- ine. Each station wilt cost about $3,000,000. The main purpose of the sta- tions is to keep gas moving along the line by maintaining or build- ing up pressure. A substantial pressure drop occurs in long-dis- tance gas transmission because of the drag against the walls of the pipe Incoming gas enters the le des Chenes station from a 34-inch pipeline from Alberta. It is first passed through three 72 - inch scrubbers which eliminate im- purities and moisture with an oil spray and a series of baffles. After leaving the scrubbers, the gas is fed into three com- pressors, each driven by a 2,500- horsepower engine. The gas pres- sure is raised to 850 pounds a squar inch and then discharged into the main line leading east. The compressor engines use na- tural gas as fuel. Compressor stations also are being built this year at Burstall, Caron and Moosomin, Sask., Port Arthur and North Bay. REPORT FROM THE U.K. Attitudes Change Towards Visitors By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London Ep. Correspondent The Oshawa Times. LONDON -- Scotland has de- veloped one more characteristic which makes it akin to Canada. In some parts of the country, the problem of bilingualism has rais- ed its head, according to educa- tional authorities. At a meeting of the Inverness- shire Education Committee, the aithough he agrees with the nec- essity for it. "Before the experiment can be carried out," he said, "it will be necessary to strengthen Gaelic in schools wherever the l.nguage is spoken. It will also be necessary to appoint a Gaelic supervisor for these schools to supervise the teaching of the subjects." He nded that a mem- ber members agreed to a dation of a speciai sub-committee that in all Gaelic-speaking areas, all instruction in the junior schools should be given in Gaelic for the first two years. Seven schools in the county have agreed to. carry out the experiment. This new departure means that children in these schools who are at present taught their subjects in English would be taught .in Gaelic for the first two years. At the end of that time, they would be expected to have suf- ficient knowledge of English to be instructed in that ianguage. SYSTEM NECESSARY Dr. A. J. Maclean, director of education for Inverness- shire, foresees some problems in carrying out the recommendation, Canada Gets Best Deal Migrant Survey Reveals By STEWART MacLEOD LONDON (CP)--All things be- ing equal, most British emigrants favor Canada as the country for young adults, Australia for couples with children, and South Africa as a good spot for old ade. A recent survey by the board of trade, a government depart- ment, indicates Canada gets the best of the bargain as far as workers are concerned. About 52 per cent of all British emigrants to Canada are between 20 and 34. Australia, which together with Canada takes more than half the migrating Britons, gets 32 per cent within those age brackets, However, Australia beats Can- ada in attracting children. With her program of paying fares for all Britons under 19, she gets about 36 per cent of her emi- grants under that age. Canada only gets about 26 per cent in this group. OLDER TO AFRICA But when it comes to getting emigrants over 45, South Africa has all countries beaten. More than 19 per cent of her British immigrants are over that age, while Canada's percentage is 7.7. Together, all Commonwealth and foreign countries take in about 170,000 British emigrants in an average year. Despite grow. ing concern about possible ill ef- fects on Britain's labor force there is apparently no cause for worry. The Overseas Migration Board which studies such move- ments concludes that Britain's loss is "negligible' when com- pared with the country's popula- tion and total working force. The board says that with im- migrants pouring into Britain al- most as fast as other emigrants are leaving, the gross loss of 0.3 per cent is reduced to about 0.1 per cent. And barring an acute labor shortage this figure is "negligible." MARTIN OF ERROR Because the British govern. ment does not keep detailed statistics the Migration Board says "a fairly wide margin of error' should be allowed in these estimates. The only official gov- ernment figures are kept by the board of trade which maintains a check on people leaving or en- tering by sea, and these lists in- clude everyone who is staying away from home for a year or longer. The other source of informa- tion is the number of overseas entries into Britain's national health plan, but officials say these figures include many people who plan on spending only a month or two in the country. But again allowing for that margin \of error, the migration board estimates that Britain's net labor loss between 1952 and 1956 averaged: about 38,000 a year. The country's total working pop- ulation is more than 24,000,000. Although there are no statistics to show what types of workers replace departing Britogs, the board of trade estimates that about 30 per cent of incoming Commonwealth citizens belong to the "white collar" group. WHITE-COLLAR PORTION Among departing Britons the "white-collar" workers are said to account for 36 per cent of the total. These estimates do not apply to last year's record - breaking emigration figures when about 220,000 Britons left this country, half of them for Canada. Fears have been expressed that the 1957 movement included a higher percentage of and highly - skil and concern for this out: flow reached the floor of the Com- mons on several occasions. But the subject dropped from prom- inence when emigration figures fell back to normal early this year, So far as incoming workers are concerned, there is little doubt that Britain's chief source of im- migrants is the Irish Republic, with its low wages and low stan dard of living. The migration board says "there is evidence to suggest' that this number runs about 60, 000 a year, and that the Irish recomme; of thé education authority's the The ching staff be inted to fill vacancy. committee agreed unanimously. ISLANDS INCLUDED Al: the schools in the outer isles forming part of Inverness- shire will be affected by the ex- periment in bilingualism. Gaelie has been taught in these schools for many years, but it had not been receiving the attention which Dr. Maclean felt it deserved. Extent of the problem is not widespread, however, in the 1951 census, of the 84,930 people liv- ing in the country, 1008 were list- ed as speaking Gaelic only, and having no knowledge of English. This was some 2000 less than the number in this category listed in the 1931 census. The experiment may spread to other northern 'Highland counties, however, such as Ross Cromarty, where the number of Gaelic speaking people, particularly on the islands, is greater than in Inverness-shire. population in England now is more than 900.000. The board of trade reports says almost the same number arrive in England from C Ith and foreign countries. It esti- mates that total immigration is roughly two-thirds the total emi. gration. India, Pakistan and Ceylon have been the chief suppliers of immigrants from the Common. wealth. Between 1947 and 1957 they lost a total of 113,000 res- idents to Britain, but the 1947 peak of 22,000 gradually declined to the 1957 figure of 6,000.
