¢ Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited: 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario * T. L. Wilson, Publisher > THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1964-----PAGE 6 " Distrust Of Provinces' "Blocks BNA A couple of generations of Cana- dian politicians have bemoaned the fact that Canada does not "own" its constitution, and amendments to the British North America Act have to be formally approved by ' the British Parliament. Several : Canadian prime ministers have been | going to do something about it; ! Mackenzie King and Louis St. ' Laurent went part of the way; John ' Diefenbaker promised but, in cus- ' tomary style, did nothing. Now ' Prime Minister Pearson calls the situation a "self-inflicted humilia- tion." Humiliation of a sort, yes; and certainly self-inflicted. The situa- tion persists because of Canadian doubts and disunity, not because Britain is trying to cling grimly to the tattered remnants of empire. The British Parliament has made it clear, in a diplomatic way, that it would be very glad to give up its unwanted stewardship, to abandon what has become an embarrassing responsibility. Britain, in brief, Act Change wants to repatriate the BNA Act. The stumbling block has been pro- vincia] suspicion of federal author- ity. Provincial -- politicians _rail against the Act and protest loudly that we must be masters in our own house, but when it comes time to take the steps necessary to become in truth our own constituional mas- ters, they back away, because they are afraid of losing rights which the Act now firmly guarantees. The Fathers of Confederation wrote a document that guaranteed substantial rights to all provinces; without those guarantees confedera- tion would at best have been long delayed and at worst might never have been achieved. But the archi- tects of the Canadian structure could scarcely have forseen that one or two provinces would revile their Act at one moment and fier- cely reject its amendment the next, using it as an excuse for all their ills yet afraid of changing it. It's high time the hypocrisy ended, Protecting Juveniles Jn Canada, juveniles who get into trouble are protected by law against the publicizing of their misdeeds. Newspapers and other media of public information are not permit- ted to publish their names, and de- tailed coverage of juvenile court proceedings is forbidden. A juvenile is a boy or girl under 16 years of age. The ban on publicity is based on the theory that the juvenile offen- der's rehabilitation would be made much more difficult if his or her name were made public. There has always been some op- position to the ban, mainly on the ground that no court should be permitted to operate in secrecy. Our system of justice depends on public knowledge of what is going on and public confidence that justice is not being administered in secret. With the increase in juvenile de- linquency since World War Two, the opposition has grown in strength and broadened the base of its argu- ment against the no-publicity rule. It is argued that publicity {s fre- quently a more effective deterrent than mild punishment has proved to be. Many a man would pay a $50 fine without a qualm if he could be certain that his name would "not get in the paper". : Both sides in the debate must depend on theory, because there is no body of facts to support either side. The data may emerge, how- ever; several states of the U.S.A, have recently amended their laws to permit the publicizing of juvenile offenders. Two years ago, for ex- ample, Montana closed its juvenile courts and began dealing with all offenders of whatever age in open courts. Montana law enforcement authorities claim that in the past two years there have been 49 per cent fewer criminal charges and 75 per cent fewer traffic charges laid against juveniles; they credit the decline to the publicity given the offenders and their families. The experiences of other areas where similar action has been taken should be closely watched. Policemen's Tactics Arthur Robson such tactics ethical. Regardless of how much easier it would make the Hamilton force's task if it copied its counterpart in Toronto, Inspector We've always been puzzled by people who insist that policemen must only use the most straight- forward methods in their struggle against law breakers. Objection can be taken to methods which tend to destroy the legal rights of individu- als. But these rights are not af- fected when, for example, a traffic officer does not make his presence obvious along a stretch of highway -- when he used an unmarked car. say, or hides behind a bush; in such cases the only drivers who have anything to fear are those who are breaking the law. The Hamilton Spectator praises that city's police for not using "shady" tactics against bootleggers, and compares them favorably with the Toronto police who pose as cus- tomers to trap bootleggers.

Com- plaints are always being made about the dearth of good public relations between the police and the public. Such relations are not improved and cemented by techniques which smack of deceit." For the life of us, we can't see what the trapping of bootleggers has got to do with public confidence in the police, unless, of course, there are so many bootleggers in Hamil- ton that they can be called 'the public", One might suspect that the last thing the public would want would -be good relations, public or otherwise, between the 'police and the bootleggers. It might be noted that a judge hearing a case in Hamilton stated - from the bench that the city's best- known bootlegger operated quite openly within a few blocks of the courthouse.

REPORT FROM U.K. Scots Development Plans Under Way By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland--Scot- land's big central area develop- ment plan is being pushed ahead with all possible speed.

This was made clear in a statement issued by the Scottish Council for Industry and Development, which is con- cerned that all areas in Scotland Things To Watch _ As Cancer Check By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What does skin cancer look like? What are its symptoms?--M.M. I'll explain what to look out for--although I can't tell you how to decide whether a given lesion is or isn't skin cancer. Incidentally, more than 90 per cent of skin cancers can be cured if they are treated rea- sonably early. Skin cancers aren't all alike in appearance. A warty type of growth is one. And likewise a sort of horny growth. Still another is a "sore" that isn't sore, and it keeps expand- ing very slowly,.and seems to "heal" or crust over in the centre, while the edge, as the spot expands, looks raw but is not sore. A mole that changes in any Way, perhaps grows larger, or is constantly irritated (such as the edge of a collar, under a belt or the edge of a girdle or anything like that), or bleeds easily--that can be a sign of cancer. Now the fact is that just about everything I have described can be from some other cause. All warts aren't cancer. Nor are all horny growths. Nor all moles that happen to bleed, when bumped hard. Nor all painless skin eruptions -- psoriasis, for example, scales over, but it is not cancer, When you get right down to cases, there isn't any way you can look at a spot on the skin and say whether it is or isn't GALLUP POLL cancer, A biopsy will give the answer. Any doctor can make a very shrewd guess just from look- ing. The specialists can be even shrewder, But only in se- vere and advanced cases can they give a snap judgment and fee] sure they. are right. By .ad- vanced, I mean a skin cancer which the patient has had for months, or a year, or several years, and ignored, With skin cancer, you don't expect any symptoms except what you can see. If you wait for pain or other symptoms, you have waited too long. (Even in such cases, however, cure may be possible, but who wants to take that risk?) There are, among these con- ditions that I've listed, some which will turn out not to be cancerous but will be pre-can- cerous. I had such a thing my- self once. It was a little pimple on my back. I didn't even know it was there until I scratched it and it bled about half a drop. When, three or four weeks later, this happened again, I had it re- moved, which took my _ skin specialist about 20 minutes, be- cause he wanted to be careful not to nick any of the many muscles which are close to the surface. It was not cancer, but it was pre-cancerous. A biopsy (exam- ination under the microscope of some cells) showed the suspic- ious signs that often precide a real cancer, Jackie Kennedy Chosen Most Admir y The CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Among Canadians, Queen Elizabeth II has taken second place to President Kennedy's widow, Jackie, as the most admired woman in the world today. She is also tops with U.S. citizens. Back more than a_ decade ago, when this same . trend question was asked, the Queen led all others, including the late Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt, in commanding admiration. Today Mrs. Kennedy -is two to one favored over the Queen, Rt, Hon. Sir Winston Church- ill continues to maintain his popularity in Canada, with the Pope second. President L. B. Johnson, Rt. Hon.. John Diefen- baker and Prime Minister Les- ter Pearson are also among the most admired men in this country. One question was asked: .... "What woman (man) living ed Woman in any part of the world do you admire most?" Most admired Woman: Pet, Mrs, J. F. Kennedy ..... 24 Queen Elizabeth II ...... 12 Mrs, Kirkland Casgrain ..3 Dr, Charlotte Whitton ... 3 Hon, Judy La Marsh .... 2 Others included the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Taylor, Mme.

Within the next few months, a series of projects will either be advanced or completed. The most notable of these is pos- sibly the Forth Road Bridge, scheduled to be opened in Sep- tember, which, with its network of modern approach roads, will have cost almost $60 million. It has been calculated that initially as many as four mil- lion vehicles a year will use the bridge. Already large numbers of sightseers have been to in- spect the bridge, spectacularly situated alongside the famous Forth Railway Bridge, built in 1882, when it was one of the engineering wonders of the world, ROAD PROJECTS Some further road projects are now under way. Road works in Central Scotland to cost around $15 million, have been examined by Gordon Campbell, joint Parliamentary Under-Sec- retary of State for Scotland. Vil- lages which have been echoing to the sound of truck fleets heading between Glasgow and Aberdeen will soon be peaceful again, as the traffic streams pass over modern by-pass road- ways, spectacularly-bridged and often sweeping over two million, The busiest airport. in Scot- land is at Renfrew, near Glas- gow, where more than a million passengers were handled. The growing traffic has led Glasgow to work out a scheme costing over $12 million, for develop- ment of a new airport at Abbotsinch to replace the facil- ities at Renfrew. Abbotsinch will have two runways, the main one 6720 feet long. It will be able to accommodate aircraft such as the Vanguard, Comet IVB, Caravelle, Trident and the BAC 111, By 1970 it is estimated that 1,600,000 passengers will be using Abbotsinch. WHISKEY PRODUCTION Important to export trade is the fact that whiskey production in Scotland has been rising steeply. Over twice as much whiskey is being produced as 10 years ago. And the long-estab- lished rise in whiskey exports is continuing The value has gone up steadily in recent years. Another industry for which Scotland is famous is shipbuild- ing, and orders received last year were over twice the level of the year before. They totalled 417,000 tons -- the highest for any year since 1957. , So on all sides, Scotland's de- velopment program is making progress, which in due course should be reflected in a drastic and welcome drop in the figures for unemployment. OTTAWA REPORT Dr. Jewett Plugs Consumers' Dept. By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--Is the "large eco- momy size" really a bargain? The - poor, bewildered con- sumer cannot tell this, without mathematical training and a slide-rule. And, since the con- sumer who has to answer this question is generally the harassed housewife, this means that father's pay-packet can only be protected by mother if she is able to do some ready? reckoning with a_ slide-rule in front of every shelf in the gro- ceteria. There are other questions which the consumer should ask and have answered for his own protection too, according to Dr. Pauline Jewett, when she ad- dressed the Canadian Associa- tion of Consumers on the topic The Consumer and Govern- ment. "It is almost impossible now- adays for the average con- sumer really to know whether the products he buys meet min- imum standards of safety, qual- ity and efficacy,"' she said. "Or to know how much he is really paying for consumer credit; whether one prepared food has more nutritional value than another; whether the perfor- mance of a product will in fact meet his needs--and, whether the 'large economy size' really is a bargain." NEED GOVERNMENT HELP In what are sometimes called "the good old days", the house- wife who ventured into the mar- ket place was protected only by her native cunning and the empty phrases 'caveat emptor --let the buyer beware." Today, however, the tendency is to expect the government to look after us from the womb to the tomb, and in line with this, political scientist Dr. Jewett makes a novel suggestion: let the government set up a special department, headed by a cab- inet minister, to protect and in- form the consumer. Nevertheless Dr. Jewett paid tribute to the services rendered i this direction by the Cana- dian Assoication of C 'Ss. "Considering that it has been a voluntary organization work- ing on a limited budget, it has really done a tremendous job," said the rising Liberal new- comer to Parliament. Dr. Jewett listed four rights to which every Canadian should. be entitled, making up what might be called an effective "Consumers' Bill of Rights" to help every consumer every day. These four rights are: ,.. ... 1, The right to safety, imply- ing protection against the mar- keting of goods which are haz- ardous to life or health. 2. The right to be informed, with protection against fraudu- lent or misleading advertising or labelling. 3. The right of choice between QUEEN'S PARK Judy LaMarsh a variety of products or services at competitive prices. 4. The right to be heard--with protection of his interests when government zelicy is being formulated or implemented. Dr. Jewett, who represents. the urban-rural riding of North- umberland, suggested that much could be done to strengthen existing laws and programs--but "it is time the consumer was given a full and effective voice; in Canada the best way to assure this is through a distinct government department with its own re- sponsible minister." Dr. Jewett's common 'sense and fair proposals will strike a welcoming response among con- sumers. And they 'are interest- ingly reflected within the cabi- net, where Defence Miister Paul Hellyer has_ recently shown an awareness of the need to defend Canadians against certain internal foes, He referred publicly to an advertiser's claim that his breakfast food, served 'with fresh fruit and milk, is a nu- tritious dish to start the day. "We all know that fresh fruit and milk are nutritious," com- mented Mr- Hellyer, "but what does the cereal add? Has science established that it too has nutritional components?"
