This would be Just another of dodging the issue, A Commons committee studied It between 1063 and 1050 and somewhat reluctantly deeided that the penalty should be retained but that legal and penal eondition affects ing it should be amended, Since that time, at least one member of the com» nittee, Margaret Altken, has changed For mind ("I believe the time has now come when we should abelish capital punishment") and successive surveys of Canadian public epinien have indi= cated 8 strong and growing objection to the death penalty jupport for the abolition of the pens alts expressed in all sectors of the Canadian community, Arthur Martin, QC, has appeared as counsel In 88 murder incidentally none of has {# he studied Wal CAMBS the accused was sentenced to death and gives this opinion: "Since the purpose of the eriminal law. is to prevent conduet on the part of the individual which is injurious to society, and punishment Is sn instru ment of the eriminal law to that end, it follows that the only justitieation for the retention of the death penilty Is that It more effectively promotes the uitimate objectives of the eriminal law than any other form of punishment that might be substituted for it , , . To those who say that capital punishment fs nec essary in the interest of society, 1 say thdt history refutes it, the experience of othe' countries refutes it and reason refutes it, 1 am further of the opinion that capital punishment operates uns equally as It claims most of its victims from the poor, the uneducated and the mentally 111" Another legal opinion is that of Judge ¥. A, E, Hamilton, Winnipeg: "I am un~ alterably opposed to capital punishment for the following reasons: Tt is not res formatory: it 1s vindictive and 1s a rel ie of barbarism; it is brutalizing and at times Is eruelly unjust as innocent per« sons have been hanged; it is not a de« terrent: It Is unchristianj it cuts off » man's time to repent or reform." Still another legal opinion, that of Arthur Maloney, QC, snd MP for To« ronto Parkdale; "The ineldence of hom {eide bears no relationship to the press ence or absence of capital punishment, I am distressed by the inequality In its administration, So_muech depends on the attitude of the trial judge, the skill of the counsel for the defence, the prose- eutor's concept of his duty, the atmos phere in which the trial takes place and other equally variable things." The General Council of the United Chureh affirmed "our belief that eapital punishment is contrary to the spirit and teaching of Chirst" and the Anglican Church's Council for Social Bervice last year resolved to "petition the federal government to initiate proceedings leading to the abolition of capital puns {shment in Canada" The federal government would not be taking too great a political risk if it gave firm expression to Ita, preference for life Imprisonment over the death penalty, Minor Hockey Activities informing you that minor hockey Is do Ing Ita share to develop better citizens and better Canadians "Minor hockey Is a game of skill to teach our youth true sportsmanship, to Week in Canada bes 24.

It res peals all previous lunacy acts, In eluding some of which have heen on the statue hooks for over 70 years, It proposes a complete re form of the law on mental health, reflecting the advance in medical and paychiatrio knowledge, Its central objective is to ensure that wherever mental patients are treated, the primary alm will be amelioration and, If possible, a cure All the old concep's of mental Iliness have heen (hrown over board, Even the former terms which placed a stigma on persons suffering from menial iliness are eliminated, phrases and terms sich as "ldot", "imbecile, "foeble-minded", "moral defec: tive' and "person of unsound mind', All now come under the broad classification of 'person miffering from mental {liness." BROAD PRINCIPLES The broad principles of the bill Ale 1, To give the maximum en couragement to patients suffering from any form of mental lliness or disability to seek treatment promptly and voluntarily 2 To ensure adequate restraints and safeguards where patients, in the ndevests of safely must be compulsorily treated and de. tained" An Important step provides for treatment in all types of hos phtals, and not only in mental in stitutions, The press has whole-heartedly commended the new bill, with one reservation, The Dally Telegraph says that to bring the standard of treat. ment of mental Hliness up to that physical iliness, more money is needed, for hospital bullding, for pursing for medical attention and research SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT Negotiations which have been going on quietly behind the scenes are believed to be bringing Brits ain and Egypt closer to a settle ment of thelr Mnanclal differ ences, Kugene Nlack, president of the World Bank, has been aot ing as a sort of unofficial gos between In talks which have brought very close a settlenient of accounts arising from the Sues origls, On the one hand, there are Britain's claims for compensation for British assets seized at the time of the Sues incident, On the other hand, there are claims hy Egypt for the damuge she in. curred during the Rritish and French Intervention In Suer, The two sides are now close enough to agreement on principles and on the amounts of money involved for direct negotiations to be un. dortaken between Hritaln and Egypt in the very near future It Ia believed in informed oles eles in London that (mpetus has heen given to a settlomtn hy the recent deterioration of relations between President Nasser and Russia. The arrest of over 300 Communists in Egypt and Syria, It 1s felt, clearly indicates a new fear of Russia, and has built up a desire for closer relations with the West, Hence the anxiety to reach an agreement whieh would result Wm a renewal of friendly diplomatic relations between Reitaln and Egypt MAY HELP TOURISTS There (x every reason to helieve that the next step towards fall convertibility of the pound ste ling with dollars will he an in crease (n the 100 ponds foreign holiday allowance Reitishers wishing to spend holidays in Can acta and the United States, A treasury official was somewhat guarded when questioned about this, but admitted there was a "hare possiblity" that It would happen.

In fact, he said, It had been used as long ago as 1073, But, of course, the Union Jack has always heen the main flag, And when the ensign appeared on the flag-pole there was an im- mediate tempest, PROTECT UNITY Mr, Frost Headly that the flag was being his personal order, And though he didn't say o directly, It would seem his main purpose probably was to protect national unity, The Native Bons of Canada has heen doing considerable howling in the Toronto area re- admitted flows at when ap organization that ight otherwive bes on the fringe of the eracks pot gos an Issue like the fag ean gel inside » lot of people, In countering the Sons demands by fying the ensign, he probably had In mind giving a lead lo ( paris of the country In heaving this clamor under con. trol, CANADIAN FIRST There Is no Suastion, B flowever ta he romier w wevicus Sbost the propriety of the ensign as » Canadian fag, He Is not against the UK, but dominantly he is a Canadian, And he agrees we should have our own flag, But also he Is well aware that the. Union Jack figured prom- inently In the founding and growth of Canada and therefore has a proper piace in any Cana dian flag, He also is » great believer in the British Commonwealth and fools It Is proper our member: ship in It should be recognized, As the Red Ensign includes recognition of both, as well as the Maple Leal for Canada he feels It Is the most suitable flag we have at present, If someone comes up with a better one he will gladly accept it, But for the present the ensign will do, FOR BETTER HEALTH Some Helpful Tips On Diet Substitution HERMAN N.
