| 8 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, Mey 18, 1965 'Canada's Pens Backward, Inquiries Useless: NDP OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's penitentiaries service is among the most backward in the world, Harold Winch (NDP -- Vancou- , ver East) charged in the Com- mons Monday night. He criticized the government for setting up two new inquiries into penal reform when the 1938 recommendations of a royal commission still are be- ing ignored. . Mr. Winch spoke on a gov-| ernment resolution to establish late but it would help to con- vince the public of the value of humanitarian rehabilitation of prisoners. : He said the committee should look into complaints by the Ca- nadian Corrections Association that the justice department is planning to build "outmoded fortresses' instead of modern, low-security institutions.

Do the improvements made in the last 20 years in automo- bile performance characteristics compensate for any loss of visi- bility over hill-tops? These, and other questions of highway design and road-build- ing material qualities, are given top priority in a review of road research needs prepared by the Canadian Good Roads Association. The association's has pub- 'lished a pamphlet listing 44 problems which should be tackled, dividing them into three categories of priority. | In the top-priority class is the |need for fresh research on the |question of sight lines for mot- orists approaching the crest of a hill. CARS DIFFERENT Present standards are based on the characteristics of auto- |mobiles of the 1940s. Sight lines Can Roads-Handle Autos? Can Autos Handle Roads? are based on measurements taken: 4% feet above the road surface, assumed to be_ the height of an average motorist's eyes as he sat at the wheel of his car. But the average car on the road today is lower. The good roads association wonders to what extent this affects sight lines, and whether greater speed and braking power enter the picture. Another top-priority item is finding means to-counter the de- terioration of bridge decks and super-structures caused by de- icing salts. The solution may be in better bridge design, im- proved bridge - building mate- rials,. or use of some other method - of cutting ice on | bridges. | The association says research lis needed on the causes of jeracks in bituminous pavements |rather than those caused by the |traffic load. It wants studies made of the effect of tempera- \ture changes, frost action and isub-grade soil conditions. dium- and minimum - security \institutions.
