It is the hol- iday which commemorates the successful revolt of the Jewish people under Judah Maccabee against their Syrian foes, who sought to. supplant, by force, their religious way of life with the Hellenistic culture of the day. It was in the year 165 B.C. that Jerusal was 1 ied by loyal Jews and the Holy Tem- ple rededicated to the service of God. Since only one flask of pure mained, the * ah- symbol of the everlastiiz iufe - could be kindled only for one day. However, in a miraculous fashion, the oil lasted for eight LSD Victim, 19 Shot To Death SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -- A naked youth who had been suffering a drug reaction was shot dead in the street after at- tacking a policeman with a sword here Christmas Day. An- other policeman was accidental- ly shot in the bizarre incident. Killed was Daniel Bruce Brown, 19, who lived with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brown told authorities their son had taken LDS previously but that they didn't know if he had full days at which time new oil was procured. Throughout the festival of Channukah, Menorahs are light-| ed in Jewish homes to recall and publicize the miracle and the religious victory achieved by a minority in their quest for religious freedom. Coupled with special prayers of thanksgiving and praise for the Almighty, Channuakh is also a holiday of great joy and festivity. The play- ing of dreydl (a spinning top) and the exchanging of gifts high- light the holiday for the child- ren. Channukah antedates Christ- mas by approximately 200 years and the message its menorah lights hold for mankind is truly a universal one. Freedom' of re- ligion and respect for different ways of life are the cornerstone of a free and democratic so- ciety. That right will ultimately triumph over might, and that truth will swallow up wicked- ness {js the great lesson that this Festival of Lights has bequeath- ed to the world.

"Nick" eel a Five Counties Spared Detention Centre Cost The centre's facilities will be completely separate from the reformatory and there will be no intermingling of their in- mates. Admitting facilities for the detention centre will also be built. Work on' the new facilities will depend on the progress made on other features of the depart- ment's integration plans. The name "Millbrook Reformatory"' will be dispensed with and the entire complex will be known as the Kawartha Regional Deten- tion Centre. It had been originally plan- ned to construct a regional jail, near Peterborough, to serve the counties of Durham, Northum- berland, Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton. Land was pur- chased and planning was under way. The estimated cost of the original centre, which was to replace the aging county jails, was $1,819,000. It is estimated that $100,000 has been spent by the board on land acquisition, architect's fees and well digging. The minister said the detention centre board would be reimbursed for all its expenses. Based on the original estimat- es, the United Counties of Dur- ham and_ Northumberland would have paid 31.53 per cent of the cost of construction, with Victoria and Haliburton Count- ies paying 18 per cent of the cost of construction, and Peter- borough county and city 50.84 per cent.

Magistrate Dodds said: Regina vs Paul Louis Gresh This case came before Court on December 8th, 1967, and the accused Stephen Paul represented by counsel, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of nar- cotics contrary to the provisions of Section 3 (1) of the Nar- Louis Gresh, cotic Control Act Gresh, in a statement to the Police, admitted smoking mari- juana for five or six weeks on week-ends, prior to his arrest. Some of this narcotic, he claims to have purchased in his school. Altogether his purchases cost about $60.00. When he was ap- prehended he had six hand - rol- led cigarettes and two small paper bags, all of which con- tained the narcotie marijuana. Later a small amount of the tended itself into our school drug was found in his home in a jacket pocket. Counsel argued vigorously in favor. of a suspended sentence with probation and the matter was put over until today in or- der that the court could have the benefit of a pre - sentence report prepared by the Ontario Probation Service. In the course of argument Counsel referred to three cas- es dealing with the subject of sentencing in narcotic cases: Regina vs. Hudson 1967 Regina vs. Ross 1955 Regina vs. Kazmer 1953. Counsel for the accused, Mr. T. V. Kelly, argued that on the basis of the decision in the Hud- son case, a decision in the On- tario Court of Appeal, probation in this case would be suitable, desirable and just. He contends that this is the first charge of its kind involving an Oshawa high school student and since no ad- ditional charges are presently pending it may be that this is an isolated incident. He con- tends that whatever the prob- lems.may be with respect to this drug in Toronto, this is Oshawa. The pre - sentence report is basically good, although it in- dicates that the accused is a confirmed non conformist whose mind is virtually closed to the voice of authority, par- ticularly in the school. It would appear that his scholastic level of achievement falls far below his capabilities. There is also some suggestion that there may be some lack of parental con- trol Without any question sentenc- ing is one of the most difficult tasks which confronts a magis- trate or a judge. It is never easy and it is not easy now. In any sentence there are three factors to consider 1, Punishment 2. Rehabilitation 3. Deterence More .and more the courts are concerned with the elements of rehabilitation and deterence. In this case I am also pain- fully aware that the accused is a student whose academic future may be greatly affected by any sentence imposed by this court. While the distribution and use of narcotics has not been a problem in Oshawa there is every suggestion that the dis- tribution and use of the nar- cotic drug, marijuana, has made an appearance in this community and has even ex- system. Parents are anxious, Teachers are troubled. Law en- forcement officers are deeply concerned. Marijuana is the term used in North America for any pre- paration or extract of the can- abus plant of hemp. Most of its active ingredients are the resinous exudate of the unfer- tilized flowering top of a plant, It is not, genenally speaking, legally available in Canada, or in the United Staets, and at the present time it has no recog- nized medical use. CANDY FORM Marijuana is generally smok- ed as a cigarette. On occasion the resin is ingested in candy form. The strength of the in- gredients may vary greatly from time to time and. depends upon where the plant 1s grown, the method of its cultivation, how long it has been stored, and the method used in extract ing the resin. Inspector William Pilkington, Chief of the Metro- politan Toronto Morality Bur eau, recently stated that a very potent form of marijuana, avail able in North Africa, known as Hashish, is now entering North America and. appears to be available in this area. Appar- ently it is immeasurably strong- er than anything that has been available up until now. At the present time the potetency of marijuana cannot be deter- mined by chemical analysis. Various writers, dealing with the subject of marijuana agree that there is still much to be learned about the affect of cana- bus on the human mind and a great deal of research is still necessary. There is, however, considerable unanimity regard- ing the initial effects of this drug on the individual. The short - term effects are briefly as follows: a) A dulling of attention b) A loquacious europhia of var- iable duration, extending pos- sibly up to four hours in length. c) Restlessness with excessive movement and emotional insta- bility d) Time sense, spacial relation- ships and body images may be markedly distroted e) There is, on occasion sified sensory perception {) There may be mood swings from a predominant depression to uncontrollable laughter and hilarity REPRESSED IDEAS Other effects are hallucina- tions, delusions and anxiety. In- tellectualy the drug appears to be able to release repressed inten- ideas. Reports of more ser: ious adverse emotional reaction' and personality changes are ap- parently increasing Panic; gross confusion; impulsive and aggressive behavious; deprs sion; depersonalization; schiz- ophrenic and paranoic beha\ iour have all been reported, ¢ pecially when marijuana is used extensively or combined with other drugs Without any question these re» actions can have serious conse quences especially when one associates them with such day to-day responsibilities as raising children, running a home, driv- 'Wwe motor vehicles, working, and even going to school Indulence and neglect of per- sonal hygiene may follow from prolonged and heavy use. It would also appear that such use may affect intellecutal function ing and memory may also be impaired. The common view of mari juana has been that it is not an addiction - producing drug. Addiction occurs when the chem istry of the body is so altered that a physical dependance upon the drug is established. There is' nothing to suggest that. a physical dependence upon the drug is established. There is nothing to suggest that this re- sult flows from the use of com- monly available preparations of marijuana. The American Med- ical Association, however, bel- ieves that many marijuana smokers become so psycholog- ically dependent wpon the drug, over a period of time, that t an eventually dominate tl of the user. The habit, t fore, may become so stro the difference between ha addiction is of little pra consequence. Therefore, even if the drug js not an addiction - producing agent, (and that is by no means an established fact, and indeed there are some sugges tions to the contrary, with some preparations), it is undoubtedly habit forming and in the main it is deliterious to the health and welfare of those who use it Those attempting to use mari juana might well consider a re cent suggestion that mariuuana distributors may now 'be delib erately adding other narcotics such as heroin to marijuana in the hope of creating addicts among unsuspecting users. FIRST TO BE USED In the present pattern of drug abuse marijuana is_ often the first drug to be used. Clearly its use can facilitate contact with persons or groups using more dangerous drugs. Indeed, Inspector William Pilkington, in a recent talk to students in Toronto stated that in that city more than 80 per cent of heroin| users and virtually al! victims who have suffered from the use of that most dangerous drug, L.§.D., started on marijuana For the reasons above set out parents, teachers, and law en- forcement officers are justified in their expression of great con- cern over the spread of this drug into Ontario and its ap- pearance in this city. An interesting and important feature of this drug is its dis- tribution. The plant must be grown; the resin has to be exe tracted from the flower of the plant at the right time; the res- in must then be processed; the product must be distributed and sold, and the funds resulting from the sale, collected. All of this suggests a type of activity that lends itself to criminal or- ganization, People who use this drug, no matter how innocently, and no matter how occasionally, are responsible for supporting an extensive web of criminal activity that 1s a matter of deep concern to everyone. The dis- tribution and possession of this drug affects everyone. Continued On Page 21
