Visit Amnesty Should Be Discarded The Canadian Corrections Asso- ciation is justified in urging that an end be put to the absurd prac- tice of granting amnesty to prison- ers to mark a royal visit to Can- ada. The Association notes that "it has been the practice in Canada in the past to grant amnesty to cer- tain inmates of federal peniten- tiaries on the occasion of the visit of the reigning sovereign," and "no doubt this proposal will be. made again when Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, visits Canada this fall." The 'modern correction view' is 'that a prisoner should be released before the expiry of sentence only when the Parole Board believes his attitudes hiave changed sufficiently to warrant such action. Clearly, the granting of an amnesty in honor of a royal visit negates this principle, and substitutes a basis for release that requires no effort on the prisoner's part. The CCA has sent a letter to Justice Minister Guy Favreau, sug- gesting that the amnesty policy be discontinued "and that no such am- nesty be granted in connection with Her Majesty's visit this tall." It. is a wholly reasonable pro- posal, The release of prisoners before they have completed their assessed terms should be ordered for a more logical reason than the visit to Canada of a very distin- guished person. The royal visit amnesty puts the correction of criminals on the same level as school attendance. since schoo} chil- dren are frequently released from classes to celebrate a distinguished visit. The amnesty might be termed "eorrection by whim" -- and if there is any place where rule by whim is dangerous it is a federal penitentiary, where convicted per- sons are serving sentences of two years and more. Too much of our penal system is still based on rou- tine which is founded not on reason, enlightened experience and modern discovery but on archaic concepts and beliefs. not supported by data, We hope Justice Minister Fav- reau adopts the CCA proposal. Help For Unemployed In recent months it has been etated several times by Finance Minister Gordon that there can be no reduction in government spend- ing, and therefore no tax cuts, be- eause the high rate of unemploy- ment obligates Ottawa to continue its pump- priming, make - work policies. Conceding for the sake of argument that the Minister has a point, it is then a question of when unemployment is at a "normal" level. - The mid-May figures released by the Bureau of Statistics indicated that there were 6,608,000 Cana- dians with jobs, an increase of 296,000 from a year earlier. Unem- ployment stood at 298,000, a dec- line of 53.000 from one year earlier, and the unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent of the labor force. It is significant, however, that 116,000 or 1.7 per cent of the labor force had been seeking work for four months or more -- serious enough, particularly for the job- less, but comparatively a low per- centage. The unemployment total always included a certain number of per- sons who want only part-time work; or who are on temporary lay-off. Others are persons who have voluntarily quit one job to look for another. Many are wives or teenagers who are not in need of a job to support a-family. And there are some who will not take a job as long as unemployment in- surance benefits or welfare aid continues. All of these are lumped into the unemployment total, al- though many of them are not un- employed in the ordinary sense of that word. Surely the core problem in the unemployment situation is with the long-term jobless. There is no evi- dence that government policies are helping them at all. Meanwhile, government policies are based on an over-all unemployment figure that is virtually meaningless. Unemployment is always serious, no matter what the figures. But surely it can be attacked in a more logical, less indiscriminate and more constructive way. Poles Warm Welcome Poland has a tightly controlled Communist society, but the spark of freedom in that country atill has a bright flicker. Robert F. Ken- nedy, the late president's younger prother, proved this on his recent four-day visit to the country. Although: the Polish press pointedly ignored the presence of the distinguished U.S. visitor for the first 48 hours, and the Polish government tendered an unenthu- siastical and cool reception, rank and file Poles turned out by the thousands to give Mr. Kennedy, his wife and three of. their chil- dren, an exuberant welcome. In Warsaw, the Kennedys were greeted with shouts of "Sto Lat", 'may you live for 100 years'; in Cracow similar wildly enthusiastic demonstrations followed the visi- tors where-ever they went. T.. L.

Part of the annoy- ance undoubtedly stems from the fact that grudging compliance is usually the best that the govern- ment can exact from the public during the "spontaneous" demons- trations that it stage-manages for the benefit of visiting Communist juminaries. Other Editors' Views BIG KITCHENS IN COMEBACK? (Regina Leader-Post) An inspection of the current Parade of Homes and visits to other new homes have resulted in form- ing the conclusion by some that larger kitchens are returning to popularity. For some years it was the style of architects designing houses. to promote small, chromium- plated antiseptic areas, kitchens only in name. Everything could be reached merely by a single pivot of the heel. Every homemaker knows the futility and frustration attended on trying to keep order in cramped quarters.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times BELPER, Derbyshire -- In some séctions of England, em- ployers of Labor, and particu- jarly female labor, have to adopt some unusual measures in order to recruit and hold their workers. This is especial ly true in the Midlands, where there are more jobs available YOUR HEALTH than there are people to fill them. One firm in the indus- trial town of Belper, in Derby- shire, however, has done some- thing quite out of the ordinary in order to keep their female employees happy and salisfied. This is the firm of Hitchen, Daly and Company, packing case manufacturers. Its plan was to set up a hairdressing salon in the factory, and once a week every female employce Analysis Is Used By Psychiatrists By JOSEPH G. MOLNER. MD. Dear Dr. Moiner: What is the difference between a psychia- trist and a psychoanalyst? My sister is in a very dis tressed mental state, and I have been told that a psychoanalyst merely talks and doesn't give any advice or treatment, while a psychiatrist gives advice. Please explain.--L.T. Analysis is merely one of the methods used by psychiatrists. Not all psychiatrists employ it, as it requires long training. 'The psychiatrist himself has been psychoanalyzed. Essentially, analysis is a long series of sessions. The patient talks about himself, what he feels, what bothers him, what he thinks about other people-- everything With intelligence, skilled guid- ance, and probably luck (who doesn't need an average amount of luck, anyway?) this process in time gives the patient a per- spective of himself. He begins to see what really is troubling him. Once this insight develops, it is possible for him io see how he can overcome his problems It is a long, slow process, and the need for it was recognized long before psychoanalysis was contrived. Robert Burns once wrote. "Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as see us!" That's a form of psychoanal- ysis Analysis is just a method, in depth, of making use of psychi atry, and an analyst is a person who uses this deep and labor fous method, It isn'! easy There are, in some. places, people called lay analysts, who feel that they can do "analysis" without being psychiatrists first I know I'm laying myself open to argument, but [ doubt whether anyone should try' to tinker with the human mind and emotions in this fashion without having, at least, the long train- ing of a professional psychia- trist Now to get back to the orig- {nal problem, if 'T's' sister is in a "very distressed mental state,' it is not smart for LT to try to make the decision as to whether analysis is advis- able Rather, have the amined by a competent chiatrist, whether or not an analyst, A good analyst is, first of all, a psychiatrist; a good psychiatrist, even if not an an alyst, can distinguish between the patients who might henefit by analysis and those who can't And I might add this: Analy- others sister ex psy sis (not to say non-analyst psy- chiatrists) are so overloaded with work as it is, that you needn't be disturbed about not getting a frank evaluation. If an analyst thinks analysis is not the answer, he'll say so. Dear Dr. Molner: I read your comments on floaters in the eyes. Is it natural for a young person to have floaters? I have been bothered with them for three years. I am 19 and wear giasses.--J.R.C, It is possible but not unusual for young persons to have them Mention this to your eye doctor next time you see him Dear Dr. Molner: I am a woman of 75. and have trouble digesting orange 'and. tomato juice. In order to supplement some 500 mg. tablets of ascor- bic acid. Is it safe to take one a day?--E.T.S. It is safe enough, because your body will supply discard any extra Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) But it is wastful. The recom. mended daily allotment is from 75 to 100 milligrams--and_ be- sides, you get some Vitamin C from your food. * a free hair-do in A REPUBLICAN | i PLATFORM My, | ARD LOOK is entitled to go there and have the firm's time RECRUITING. SCHEME Th management of Hitchen, Daly and Company said quite frankly that this was a gim- mick devised to boost recruit- ing of workers. It explained: "We are a rapidly-expanding company, and find it difficult in this fully-employed area to get extra staff. We hope to keep our present employees happy and contented, and at the same time attract other right kind of workers. We have gone to con- siderable expense fitting up a well equipped hairdressing Salon "Permanent waving is not allowable, because of the time involved, But each girl will be able to have one shampoo and set once a week in any style." MEN'S REACTION The reaction of the male employees of the company, howver, gave quite a jolt to the management. They sent a deputation to the head of the firm, to whom they made this plea "Our hair grows in the firm's time, too. Why cannot we have equality with the wom- en, and have a free hairdresser just as they do Now in order to keep peace in the ranks of its workers, the company will probably set up 2 men's hairdressing parlor and employ a hairdresser for them The comment of an official of the company was somewhat enlightening. "What with giris wearing trousers and hoys wearing ringlets and long hair, factory life nowadays can be confusing. From the back,"' he added, "it is sometimes diffi- cult to decide which are which." One question which has to be resolved is whether the male workers will want hair Waves and fancy sets, too, when their hairdressing salon is pro vided "T don't imagine so,"' said the company official, 'but I think that some of them could do with a good haircu!. And that is what they will - get." And that will keep both the male and female employees of this go-ahead Derbyshire firm happy and contented in their employment. It may be, how ver, that this company has set a fashion which other firms, at least in the same district, will have to follow if they want to keep their employees vet BY-GONE DAYS 30- YEARS AGO July 23, 1934 V.W.

Re-establis:iment Civil Order Needed By PETER BUCKLEY KYRENIA, Cyprus. (CP)--A Canadian judge who has spent more than two years in Cyprus trying to keep the scales of justice in balance says civil order must be established before peace can return to this embattled Mediterranean island. Mr. Justice John A. Wilson, a member of the Ontario Su- preme Court for 18 years, left Cyprus at the end of May after serving here since March, 1962, as chief judge of the High Court of Justice, highest tribu- nal in Cyprus. : "There has to be firmness on the part of the civil authori- ties,' Mr. Justice Wilson said in an interview before leaving. "As long as you have acts of violence which go unpunished it will be difficult to establish order." The 63 - year - old jurist, the youngest Supreme Court justice in Canada at the time of his appointment, returns now as senior puisne judge in Ontario. He came to Cyprus under a constitutional oddity that re- quires a foreigner to sit as head of the republic's highest OTTAWA REPORT International court, assisted by two justices from the Greek Cypriot commu- nity and one from the Turkish- Cypriot population. : This provision was intended to ensure that neither commiu- nity would dominate legal pro- cesses. And by giving the chief justice two votes and the others one each, the constitution sought to assure that there would always be a majority vote and that the lone Turkish justice's views could prevail if he were supported by the chief justice, HAS BACK AILMENT 'Mr. Justice Wilson's appojnt- . ment was for up to six years. He declined to say why he's leaving early, remarking only that. "personal reasons" were involved. While there has. been some speculation about a breach with the government of Archbishop Makarios, it is also true that Mr. Justice Wilson has suffered in recent months from a painful back ailment which required treatment in London in April. He has returned to London for further treatment followed by a tour of the British Isles with Mrs. Wilson. He plans to Happenings Concern People Everywhere Patrick Nicholson's guest columnist today is Hon, Paul Martin, secretary of state for external affairs, and Liberal MP for Essex East, By PAUL MARTIN OTTAWA--It is a particular pleasure for me to contribute to Patrick Nicholson's column be- cause, although I am accust- omed to criticism on the edi- torial »pages--indeed I welcome it,.or most of it--I seldom have an editorial opportunity to talk back. Mr. Nicholson, I should add, has been fair in his com- ments of my work. Since I became secretary of state for external affairs, I have been distressed at the many times I have heard people say something like this: "Interna- tional affairs have become s0 complex and so confusing today that they are beyond me, there is nothing I can do about nu- clear weapons or disarmament or foreign aid. or the UN, so I just won't pay. any attention to al! that business.'"' How many times in one form or another have you 'heard this type of thinking expressed? This is a tragic philosophy. It is a view which leads to a negative cynicism and a lack of involyement.in our society. which, projected on a national scale, could be disastrous for our way of life. The fact is that today more than at any time in history in- ternational affairs have been the. direct concern of individ- uals everywhere in the world. No longer can relationships be- tween nations be left to a small coterie of experts In govern- ment. Today science and tech- nology have involved all of us: in international affairs. NUMBER OF WAYS It is a paradox of our time that this negative attitude to- ward individual involvement should exist at the very period in history when all of human- ity is involved in' international affairs, What can we do to eradicate this erroneous view? Well there are a number of things First and foremost, each in dividual needs to re-examine his standards, his conduct, his ideals, himself, Because it is each individual's . contribution to the future of mankind that ultimately matters, | am_ not suggesting that the individual should think in abstract, intel- lectual or even in international terms. I am suggesting that each of us should think pro- foundly in terms of the future of our children and of their re- lationships with -their fellow men of all nationalities, creeds and colors To begin this process it is not necessary to look beyond the 'phoundaries of Canada or even beyond the confines of our own communities, For unless we as individuals can conduct our- selves and our affairs accord ing to the very highest .stand ards, we can hardly hope to in- fluence others internationally There are more visitors from other nations in Canada than ever before and many of them 'TODAY IN HISTORY =) CANADIAN 51988...

By meeting and talk- ing to them we have a wonder- ful opportunity to learn in per- sonal terms about other parts of the world and the problems and aspirations of other people. There are many other oppor- tunities: public affairs pro- grams, good books, discussion groups and outlets for individ. ual opinions on international af- fairs. I can assure you these opinions and attitudes do influ- ence international affairs and they are often a decisive fac- tor in Canadian foreign policy. For example, the determina- tion of. the Canadian people to do their utmost to preserve peace by contributing to United Nations peace-keeping activities prompted the government to respond unhesitatingly in suc- cessive crises in Indochina, the Middle East, The Congo, and most recently in Cyprus. BECOME INTERNATIONAL We are living in an interde- pendent and swiftly contracting world. It is a world in which the challenge to each one of us is to become truly international and to learn not only to be good Canadians but to be good citi- zens of the world; indeed, we have reached the stage in his- tory when these two are in- separable, Canada is among the fore- runners of the international na- tions today. Bul before we can become truly international in our thinking we must have a much greater body of opinion and understanding in our coun- try about the kind of world we are living in today and the kind of problems and opportunities which will confront us tomor- row The next time you hear some- one say that there is nothing he can do about international affairs, I hope you'll remind him that there is nothing his country can do without his and other citizens participation and that through that participation he can bea positive factor.

But: with the spread of the bloody feud between Greek and Turkish communities on the is- land, his job often included exceptional efforts just to keep the court functioning, SIT ON GREEN LINE After last December's vio- lence, he had to act as chauf- feur for the Turkish judge. Since Turks or Greeks might be shot for venturing into each other's territory, Mr. Justice Wilson held: sittings for a time in a hotel on the "green line" which divides the two commu- nities in Nicosia. When they later moved back to the courthouse inside: the Greek sector, he woulq drive the Turkish judge to court. The Canadian judge's presence was the Turk's guarantee of safe conduct. "There were no in- cidents,"" But though the Turkish judge was able to get to court, for months Turkish lawyers and other officials feared to venture into the Greek quarter. And it was only with the protection of UN troops that the first assizes outside Nicosia--in the southern city of Limassol--could be held. Mr. Justice Wilson's contract with the Cyprus government called for salary and allow- ances totalling nearly $20,000 a year, with free quarters, a chauffeur-driven car for official use and return passage to Tor- onto, On his departure the gov- ernment gave him a bonus of more than $3,000.

"According to a magazine article, the weather has been far more erratic during recent months than ever before." Yes, indeed; often it has been a down right nuisance. Still, any kind of weather is probably better than no weather at all. The reason human mentality is so inefficient is that so often the carburator of logic becomes flooded with emotion.
