rav age the forests and protection against fires which annually de stroy almost half as much tim berland as is harvested must bestepped up New uses for wood have to be found to al low it to compete

been another apparent disagreement within the ranks of the COP At labor meeting Ken Ery den the very able new member from TorontoWoodbine reported the party caucus had agreed to oppose certain recommendations of the labor committee which pro vincial leader Donald MacDon ald member of the committee had approved Subsequently Mr Brydon issued statement saying Mr MacDon old himself had suggested to the caucus that the recommendations be opposed But WHY CHANGE It is safe to say now Mr Mae Donald will be critical of the writers comment Fierce fighter that he is the CC leader resents any implica tion of weakness in his party However there is weakness in everything as we all well lmow An obvious one in this case is that Mr MacDonald changed his mind Ha either was wrong when be endorsed the recommendations or is wrong now when he opposes them There is weakness some where DEEP SPLIT This is not the point to be dis cussed here however The point of interest is that there is deep basic split in the CCF party The point of division comes whether there should be individu alism pennitted or whether all policy and action should be con trolled by ibe party organization GRUMMEH CASE There is no question in the minds of close observers that this split exists The most notable example here was when Grummett QC was House leader The official party policy was laid down by its conventions and the executive favored the closed shop However when the question came before the House Mr Gnlmmett voted against it When asked why he said he personally didnt favor it TWO SIDES There are two extremes within the CCF The extreme left would have all policy definitely run by the organization executivemen who are not elected representatives for the most part The right wing would have oru ganization policy as guide only to elected representatives in the House The essential difference of course is that of autocracy as opposed to genuine parliamentary democracy At least one observer believes the split will never be overcome Periodic lmprisonment Keeps African Prisoner Productive PRETORJA Reuters South African courts and prisons are experimenting with three new types of punishment in an at tempt to find ways of making prison treatment less like retribu tion and more like rdrabilitetion The new form which so far has attracted most public attention is periodic imprisonment or week ends in jailsentenccs of be tween lli0 and 1000 hours to be served piecemeal The idea is not to disrupt prisoners productiv ity It applies to all crimes ex cept murder rape robbery or those for which whipping is com pulsory but there are two etherklnds of punishment equally important in the experiment in penal relt form One is imprisonment for car rective training This now can be administered by the courts in cases where they think it wuuld do some good to people who have previous convictions and appar ently aro heading the wrong way but are still worth trying to res cue BOARD TAKES OVER When court imposes this sentence the convicted person goes to prison for anything from two to four years depending on how long the prisons board which scrutinizes his psychology and background think it neces sary to cure him of his tenden cies and train him to earn an honest living The other is imprisonment for the prevention of crime This sentence is imposed on people who previously have bad spell of corrective training been released or who alrea bave had prison sentences aggregating three years for serious offences It means thatthe convict seer to prison for anything from five to eight years depending on bow long the prisons hoard thinks it necessary to protect the public from his depredations If before the expiry of his eight years the prisons board thinks he has repented and is re formed they can recommend his release to the minister of justice Hereditary Heart Disease Is Fatal MONTREAL CmA team of doctors from Montreals Royal Victoria Hospital investigating
