Emir Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager FRIDAY APRIL Pll RICKSHliW BOY Death Of Pcirei Renews The Cry To Ban Boxing The death of Benny Paret exworld welterweight boxing champion in the ring has served to renew the cry to ban professional boxing Paret took savage beating before he slumped to the canvas before the eyes ofmillions of TV fans He never regained consciousnessyas his life ebhed away in New York Hospital The fan who can never stand for critv icism of boxing might term this freak accident If this were true the protests about the fight game might peter out as they have done in the past Today however there is strong disposition in responsible quarters in both Canada and the United States to take long hard look at the manly art of selfdefence and decide whether there should not in fact be an end to the slaughter Professional boxing has become slaughter Last year it killed nine fit healthy men between 1945 and 1961 it killed 193 Should these deaths be per mitted to continueas they will under present regulationsunder the cloak of commercialism If boxing is to survive as sport ac cepted by the public something must be done to forestall these fatalities Cruel beatings of helpless men in the ring must stop The cry for blood may be strong in the heat of contest but no spectacle should be permitted to carry on under the guise of sport if one partici ant is so badly punished he is injured gr life or dies in hospital cot The hue and cry over Parets tragic death may lessen but it has sown seed of doubt in the public mind Boxing is thrilling for the fans but is it worth while Emphatically no if it means more deaths more mental and physical crip pies Human life is much too precious to be sacrificed in the name of fun fame and the dollar Potholes Being Filled Barrie is doing good job in fixing the potholes in the citys pavement The works department swung into action promptly as soon as the snow began to disappear and results are already appar ent Teethjarring holes are being filled and pavements smoothed as quickly as possible The job will take time but already there is good reason to believe it will be done as rapidly as facilities will per mit The ideal solution would be 24 or 48hour blitz on potholes Unfor tunately the city does not have the equip ment or the manpower to attempt such feat The next best thing is to do what can be done within the capacity of the department This plan fortunately has been followed Other Editors Views WHELSH SPOKEN Ottawa

Parlia ment of Canada contains an un usually hlgh proportion of young and enthusiastic parliamentary novices who were elected in the great Diefenbaker swcep In contrast to these is hard core of veterans of all parties typical of whom is Wellands 70yoar old Dr William Hector McMillan who has the experi ence of i2 parliamentary years behind him and the distillation of lifetimes wisdom within him in his early days in Ottawa he won great admiration for the hard pace he set himself He was constant attendcr in the House then wh many MP5 settled back leisurely ook the night train pcd off it

an emergency caesarean operation his pa tlents heart stopped beating He immediately made an incision and massaged the heart back to functioning After perhaps four minutes of apparent death the patient was restored Today both she and the child are living testimonies to Dr McMillans skill and presence of mind SLOWING UP NOW with his son and staff of about 15 now running magnit icently equipped new clinic for the care of his patients the Doc is slowing down his medical work But his parliamentary ac tivities do not diminish He is one of the more active amoan the small hand of 50 Liberal MP forming the official opposi tion in the House He shares Commons desk with his political neighbor from Niagara Falls the vital and serpent tongued young lawyer Judy La Marsh The pair might be nicknamed in Air Force par lance Spitfire and Hurricane but Doc McMillan is less like hurricane than friendly som nolerit bear yet with brain far from hibernating Already in this session Dr McMillan has participated prominently in many major de hates First of course in the throne speech debate then on agriculture on the Disabled Persons bill on the labor esti mates on pensions and on the economic growth of Canada in recent years he has dc clared himself as an opponent of high interest rates and has con cerned himself with the ex change value of our dollar as it might affect investment and inflation in Canada SHOWS U8 HIMSELF His speeches often contain personal touches describing his own experiences and revealing his habits and preferences to degree rare in the House He travelled to Rome 50 we hear about his conversation BIBLE THOUGHT But ye brethren are not in 1darkneas that that day should overtake you as micei rlhcsselonialis Jesus is the light of the world If anyone walks in

bushels This recalls the three imme diate postwar years when the wheat reserves ranged between 73000000 and 86000000 bushels From there they gradually in creased into burdensome sur pluses re chlng

REPORT FROM UK Frowns On For London Govt By McINTYRE HOOD Special London England Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner LONDON The ancient and picturesque borough of Chelsea is the latest of the London boroughs to take up arms against the plan of the govern ment to rearrange and mor ganlze the municipal govern ment of the Greater London area At special meeting of the Chcsea borough council the first shots were fired in battle to avoid being swal lowed up in merger with its giant neighbor the borough of Kenslngton Chelsea with population of 47000 is one of the smallest boroughs of London it is sch eduled to be merged withKcn sington with population of 170000 as part of the govern ments plan for reshaping the boundaries of the London bor oughs by 1965 PLAN UNJUSTIFIAELE At their council meeting the members had before them report from their general pur poses committee describing the proposed marriage with the borough of Kenslngton as manifestiy unjustifiable in particular it pointed out that Chelsea has no close associa tion historical or otherwise with Kensington it presented for consideration an alternative plan which it was decided should he sent on to Dr Charles Hill minister of hous ins and local government for consideration The alternative plan seems to have merit in it ltprovidcs for the creation of South ofthcPark borough lying bet ween Hyde Park and the Thames it would hercreatcd by taking in allct Chelsea and parts of Fuiham Kenslng ton and The hamlet lot Knightsbridge lane The result it is claimed would be compact easytea run borough instead of the governments plan for long narrow borough running north and south across the traffic arteries it has also sug gested that the constitue ies of North Kenaington Bar ons Court and Hammersmith should be joined to make up another Greater London borlt nugh FULIIAM SATISFIED The council of the borough or Fulham which met on the same nlght as the Chelsea council in its own town hall only half mile away has so far turned deaf ear to the overtures made by the Chelsea councillors In fact its members strange to say are apparently quite satisfied with the provision made for Fulham in the governments plan its members expressed approval of the proposal to link Fulham with Hammersmlth to make single borough out of the two Its Law and Parlia mentary Committee presented report which termed this mer ger as being quite logical And approval was given to move for the opening of negotiations with Hammersmith for discus sinn of the proposed amalgam atlon ST PANCRAS APPROVES Another area in which there is likely to be agreement with the governments plans is in the politically stormy borough of St Pancras Surprisingly enough in view of its reputa rtion as being Londons most stormy borough the members lot the St Pancras council welcome the scheme to amal gamete it with Holhorn and Hampstead in fact all three uf these councilsiare in sym pathywiih the plan and have named representatives to open
