Tye Oshonon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, May 17, 1961 Hunting Easiest Method To Get Rid Of Someone Now that the federal government has got around to putting some sense into the law concerning murder, the legislators may give some thought to methods of killing. What, for exam- ple, is the best way to commit murder --mnot out of consideration for the victim, of course, but from the point of view of the killer? In answer to that question, P. V. Ibbetson, crown attorney of Thunder Bay district, told a gathering of On- tario crown attorneys last Saturday that the way to get rid of someone was to take him hunting. He said: "It's al- most impossible to get a conviction. Since it's so difficult to prove crim- inal negligence, there should be some lesser offence to lay a charge under." He suggested there should be more specific legislation to cover negligent use of firearms by hunters, and the Crown Attorney's Association in a resolution urged that the Criminal Code be amended in this regard. There isn't any doubt that, as mat- Death Of A It's likely that to all but a very few of our readers the name Fred Goforth will mean nothing, but to us it meant a great deal. This then, will be our personal tribute to a man whose fame was limited to little more than a battalion of men, who acquired no wealth or power, wrote no great books, preached no immortal sermons, but who was so rich in the qualities of faith, and courage and understanding of the weaknesses and strengths of men under great strain that he will always be remembered with love by those who knew him. Rev. J. Fred Goforth died last Sunday night in a Brantford hospital, aged 54. He was a unit padre during World War II, serving in North Africa, Italy and ' Northwest Europe. He remained in the army on his return to Canada and be- came assistant chaplain-general in 1958. Last December he was discharged as a Lieutenant-colonel and went to Farring- ton Independent Protestant: Church at Brantford. He won the Military Cross in the early stages of the Ortona battle. He was born in China, the son of a mis- sionary. There is his brief biography. What it does not tell is what he meant to the Government In the federal budget estimates for the coming year in the item, "Pay- ment of carrying costs of temporary wheat reserves." The appropriation is $49,000,000. Last year the cost was also $49,000,000, and $42,000,000 in the previous year, and $38,000,000 the year before that. These figures indicate the great sums involved when government controls and subsidies are employed in the attempt to solve farm marketing problems. Moreover, state aid can be a factor in perpetuating the farmers' problems. That point seems to have been re- cognized at the recent annual meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture. The Federation resolved: "That in future, before going to government with our problems, we investigate as to whether the solution does not lie within our own hands." Commenting on this policy, the monthly letter of the Searle Grain Company of Winnipeg suggests Fhe Oshawa Times T. L WILSON, Publisher and General Manoger C. GWYN KINSEY.

When hunt- ers mistake dogs, automobiles, cows, sheep and barns for deer, bear and moose, what wonder is it that they regularly put bullets into each other? This past season one hunter who climbed into a tree to wait for a deer got shot by. another eagle-eyed nim- rod, who undoubtedly had seen many tree-climbing deer. A close second to the hunting trip as a way of killing is the car "acci- dent". If done with some skill and subtlety, it need not endanger the health and well-being of the driver in any way. It might cost something in the way of a fine, of course, but any- one who can't afford $50 or $75 has no business going around killing pe- destrians. Perhaps we're too cynical--but year after year the killings go on while the legislators twiddle their thumbs and policemen try to enforce laws that are archaic or vague. Great Man men of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment with whom he served. They will recall how he earned the decoration for gallantry, when the unit was virtu- ally isolated, the Moro river to the rear and strong German forces attacking from three sides. The fighting was at close quarters, and the Padre crawled from slit trench to slit trench to give the weary, the wounded and the dying new strength, hope and succor. He won that decoration time and again. On the approach to the Senio river, for example, he walked around for days with a chunk of shell casing in his back, until the medical officer saw him wince and forced him to be examined. The shrapnel was removed on the spot -- and the Padre stayed with the battalion. Yet, with so much to be proud of, he was a humble man, full of under standing 'and compassion. Men went to him to renew their faith not as a duty but as a need. He did not have to hold compulsory church parades; the great, quiet spirit that was in him drew the men to him. We mourn him. With his passing, the world is a little colder. Assistance that Canada can profit through exam- inations of U.S. farm programs. "In 1959", says the letter "Dr. D. Gale Johnson, an outstanding U.S. economist, made a close study of the results of farm price and income policies followed in both Canada and the United States. His findings hold special meaning for us in Canada. Among other things he found that: "The general changes in the income of the farm population have been at least as favourable in Canada as in the United States. This is true in spite of the fact that the relative costs to the government of the Canadian farm pro- grams for price and income support have been only a fraction of the cost in the United States. "The current price structure in Can- ada is much more consistent with de- mand and supply conditions than is true in the United States. "The resource adjustments that have occurred in Canada are in several cases more appropriate than has been true in the United States. "Lastly, and perhaps even more im- portant, is his conclusion that artificially high prices for farm products such as those paid to U.S. grain producers, do not guarantee an improvement in either total farm or per worker income. They do, however, along with other politicies and relatively easy credit, produce costly storage programs and unwieldy stocks-- both of which lead to large scale export dumping, "It is true that, in Canada, we have faced many of the same adjustment problems as have occurred in the U.S.A. but so far our approach has been dif- ferent and we have reason to be thank- ful that it has been so. The Federation's stand on undue government assistance will serve to remind us of some of the dangers inherent in too great a depen- dence upon government. To the extent it succeeds in driving this point home the Federation will have performed a viene: service." READERS' VIEWS Editor Replies To 'Rejection' Dear Sir: The Readers' Views of May 15 over the signature of Allan Manser begins with a statement which The Oshawa Times did not take the trouble to check er verify. The article was not re- jected as stated by Manser but was withdrawn by him at my request. The alternative to this was to appear or have the ma- terial come before the Editorial Board. During the past 18 months, many articles have appeared before the board or at least two of the three members and all rejections have gone through them. On several occasions, 1 have contacted correspondents and requested certain deletions in an attempt to edit a decent paper for our union. ; The portion of the Manser ar- ticle I asked he delete was the "Red Baiting", first two para- graphs. After a conversation with Manser he requested I withhold the complete article which he would call for at the hall. I pointed out to Manser that the Special Committee headed by Emil Mazey, vindicated the rank and file members and that if he had further information, that he should have the "guts" to say so at either unit or gen- eral membership meetings at the hall. His reply to this was that he "just heard it at the hall." I said his "veiled accusa- tions" could have serious impli- cations and at this point he re- quested I withhold the material. To my surprise, the article then appeared in your paper. Abbe Gerard Dion of Laval University had something to say on "Red Baiting". He said it is a grave sin to accuse false- ly or to insinuate that a politi- cal opponent is a Communist or radical. "To defame an oppo- nent unjustly to take votes from him, to attempt to make him lose his election by unqualifiable means is undoubtedly a mortal sin." I concur in the learned gen- tleman's view in regard to "Red Baiting". Oshawa TOM SIMMONS THANKS Dear Sir: On behalf of the Medical Su- perintendent and staff of this hospital, may I take this ovpor- tunity of thanking yofi for the co-operation and assistance dur- ing the recent 'Mental Wealth Week". The daily newspaper articles enable us to reach a larger public. S. N. P. STOBIE, MD, Clinical Director Ontario Hospital, Whitby QUEEN'S PARK People Welcome Park Protection By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The Irish, are great for lost causes. Eamonn Martin, playwright Brendan Behan's friend, is going to run for the CCF in Toronto- Eglinton. Mr. Martin might just as well be running in Moscow. In conservative Eglinton ri- ding all the CCF has ever re- ceived is turned heads. But still Mr. Martin will put up a colorful campaign. One more indication that the by-elections--when they come-- should be the most interesting for a long time, LANDED IN PARK A man was fined recently for landing an aircraft in Quetico Park. This was one of the few pros- ecutions under the regulation against landing in Quetico, Al- gonquin and our other parks. It will serve as a lesson, how- ever, particularly to flyers from the U.S. who--in ignorance or otherwise--would make private preserve of our parks. Incidentally lands and forests receives much fewer complaints now about its strict regulations aimed at keeping the parks in a natural state. The value of wilderness recre- ation is becoming more and more recognized--it's one way of getting away from Castro and K. for a while. And with this, those people who would put a paved highway into the heart of all parks have had less to say. At the past session, for in- stance, a ban was put through against operators storing boats in the parks. (Storing them there saved rugged portaging and therefore mede access eas- ier.) And not a peep of protest was heard. SAID NASTY THINGS British scientist Julian Huxley had some nasty things to say about Toronto. And not all Torontonians were offended. For when you look at it down your nose this city can live up to its reputation of hog-town. It got its $60 million subway loan from the province, for in- stance. And immediately councillors began talking about another loan for a new highway. Then, when asking for the first loan Metro Chairman Fred Gar- diner claimed that Toronto '"'pro- vided half the province's tax revenues." Our people don't have figures on this, but the metropolitan area has about one-quarter of the people in the province. And if they provide half the tax revenues we will eat Fred Gardiner--without mustard. INSIDE YOU Nose Drops May Help Ear Drain By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. The best medicine for that draining ear may be nose drops! Ear drops can usually handle infections in {he ear canal which funnels sound in from the out- side. But often the infection lies behind your ear drum, deep within the mastoid bone. Here a tiny space bridges the gap between outer and inner ear compartments. Except for a tiny tube which connects it to the back of the nose, this middle ear is sealed off from the outside world. Ear- aches begin when the middle ear can't drain and when germs travel up the tube from the back of the nose. MOST ARE CURED Antibiotic germ-killers can cure most of these middle ear infections, providing the debris can drain down the tube. If the drain stops up, painful pressure builds up in the middle ear, eventually breaking through the drum. By the time the ear begins to drain, the germs have in- vaded the mastoid bone itself. For months or years this infec- tion smoulders, flaring up again and again. Hearing slowly fades. Between flare-ups, fever and drainage often evaporate. You can't expect baby-sized ear drops to conquer this giant- sized middle ear and mastoid infection. The drops do help clear the way for free drainage out the ear canal. Once the middle ear can drain down the tube to the nose, the drum can start to heal. Nose drops and decongestant tablets wash away thick mucus and help shink swollen membranes clogging the tube. Radium, cor- tisone-medicines and the surg- ical knife can all whittle down obstructing adenoid tissue. CHECK IT QUICKLY Use nose drops and decon- gestant tablets at the first sign of an earache. If you can nip the infection in the bud, it won't have time to spread its roots. And before you spend years looking for the magic ear drops, have your ear checked and find out why it's draining!
