mm rt Avéid Water Tragedy Its only natural that great many am nteurs should turn up among the thousands taking up boating rapidly becoming one of Canadas favorite summer sports And great many of these amateurs are seriously lacking in their knowledge of one of the first prerequisites to full enjoyment of the pastimesafety John Moffatt of the Board or Steamship Inspection in Toronto puts it simpl Many people dont think when theyre in boat In lot of cases the dangers havent been pointed out to them George Ragen Toronto harbor police sup erintendent puts it another way Boating is all matter of common sense Mr Ragcn names overpowering and overloading as the two biggest problems faclnghls force Aslmplo way to start learning boating safety is to check the department of trans port regulations good many socalled boaters will be surprised to find that they cover wide field and are strict Among other things they call for proper safety equipment running lights emergency oars or paddles and other equipment But no matter how many laws are on the books the final responsibility for safe sport rests with the person involved And according to Mr Mollatt and Mr Hagen it boils down to matter of common sense and thinking Time Off To Vote In every federal electionfrictlon develops between employees and employers as re sult of the regulation which stipulates three consecutive hours as workers due so that he may have time in which to visit poll and cast his ballot This regulation is found in the Canada Elections Act and reads as follows 47 Every employee who is in qualified elector shall while polls Ire open on polling day at an election halle three consecutive hours for the purpose of casting his vote and ii the hours of his cmploymcnt do not allow for such three consecutive hours his employer shall allow him such additional time for vot ing as may be necessaryto provide the said thrcc consecutive hours no employer shall nrahcahy deductionlram thcpay Er iifysifch cmploycc nor lmposc uponor exact from him any penalty by reason or abscnce from his work during such consecutive hours the additional time for voting above referred to shall he granted at the convenlcncc of the employer Section two of clauscyar providcs that rall roadcrs actually engaged in the running of lrnins may be expected from the threcshour pro vision they may vote at the advance poll Section three of clause 47 provides for punish ment upon summary conviction of the em pioyli who refuses or by inllmldation or undue influence avoids the providing at three con secutive hours for voting to the employee The background of these regulations is that they were specifically designed for the benefit of workers in the metropolitan cities or Canada In those cities some workers have to travel miles by street car or other means of transportation to get from their place of business to their residential district where their voting poll is located In the old days at the whim of an obstreperous employer who might deliberately Reap his employees late in leaving work or due to mechanlcal breakdown of the transportation system there were occasions when workers did not get to exercise their franchise That was in the days when pm was the stand ard quitting time regulation of two consecutive hours for voting was enacted Later when shift work became so prevalent and pm one oi the swing hours provl sion of the regulation was lengthened to three hours This right of the worker who is qualified elector to vote should not be the cause of the friction it is either in Barrie or any other community It is not designed as means of providing one two or threeshour holiday for employees It is planned solely to ensure that the employee will not be de prived of his franchise as result of his having to work to earn his livelihood If this dedication isrkept mmind there should be no irritaolon between employees and em ployers providedthey ctroperate on elec tion days in carrying out provisions of the act in the spirit in which theywere en visioned In Barrie where mostempioyees are within half an hour or much less walking or driving Eubllshed Monday WALLS President Liami Examinat

homes and their polling places there is hardly any need of invoking this consecutive threehour princ iple Employers in the case of retail or cornmercinl establishments which rcmmn open to six oclock should and do give their employees extra time at lunch hour or dur ing the afternoon to visit the polls Industries which work to five oclock quite readily grant half to an extra hours time then to allow for voting with no inconven ience to the elector This question of time off for voting should be givefandtake affair the employee using part of his clear time and the employer giving portion of the working day to accomplish theatt of voting There is no reason why the employee should not utilize part of his lunch hour or gt leisure time to exercise his franchise There is no excuse for trying to enforce three consecutlvehour voting rule in Barrie as in Toronto if this friction is to continue then the government should certainly extend the hour for the closing of polls to ii pm Smaller Cities Now Lead Not too many years ago the bigger the city the bigger the wages That was one reason for the concentration of industry Higher returns naturally attracted more labor Buttoday comments The Financial Post there are many smaller places where wages are higher and sometimes considerably higher than they are in the big centres in the same province Dominion Bureau of statistics survey shows only four cities where average hourly earnings in manufacturing exceeded $i80 per hour in 1956 These were Oshawa St Catharines Sarniu and Victorianot really big city in the lot Almost touching that hourly figure were Windsor Fort William Port Arthur Hamilton Niagara Falls Peter borough and Vancouver Only the latter it will be noted is classed among the biggest cities in Canada Opinions Of Others Challenge JuvenilePrivacyv Calgary Albaruu li lanleresting to noleibat oaths ilrsttiloe lp many years there are voices bclng raised in opposi flan to the official theory that anything involving juveniles and their depredhtlons against society should be roofed with the utmost secrecy The official theory of silence Is upheld appar cnuy by thc majority of pcoplc actively engaged In handling juvenile problems They defend it actively on the grounds of protecting the child and hlsrfamlly from the stigma Ittlched to criminal activities Another defence of the theory is that publicizing the activities of delinquents tends in some way to corrupt nondelinquents and incite them to similar activities It is signlllcant thlt despite the secrecy approach and the covering up and minimizing of
