REPORT FROM us Barrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Govt To Inquire Walls Publisher IIIIO Televtsron Brian Slalgbt General Manager SATURDAY APRIL It Puo Collingwood Should Get fiA Share Of ShipBuilding Collin wood one of Canadas most im portant inland shipbuilding ports may get contract to build one or more of eight warships for the Canadian Navy 7planned by the federal government There is no good reason why some of 5the work should not be allocated to Col lingwood This port has excellent facilit les and its record of construction during the Second World War was tops Heber Smith MP Simcoe North can be assured of full support from Simcoe vCounty communities in his efforts to as sure allocation of some of the work to Coliingwood As he pointed out Colling wood is the only inland yard that has the capabilities in terms of staff to con struct one of these warships Navy plans call for minimum expen diture of $270 million on eight ships and three submarines Earmarking some of this money for Collingwood construct ion program would give big economic lift to the port and indirectly would benefit the county Every contract whe ther its for building ships roads fact ories or homes has long range effect both on the community or communities directly involved and on the area within fairly large radius iWaii For Cleo To Play Liz We hope our readers appreciate our iadmirable restraint in holding off com jmenting on the Liz TaylorEddie Fisher vRichard Burton situation Frankly at the ltime of the Liz TaylorDebbie Reynolds Eddie Fisher triangle of few years ago which followed the Liz TaylorNicky lilt on and the Liz TaylorMike Todd and the Liz Taylorhlichael Wilding phases lwe took the pledge regarding this sort of trivia But we have become so immersed in the current affair that we have tumbled off the wagon We are of the opinion to begin with that these people deserve each other in addition to anything else they get in the way of lumps We also predict that Rich ard Burton will not leave his wife for Liz because no sane man could resign himself to becoming nothing more con spicuous than husband number five The publicity value is much greater simply to be the man on the scene when wife hands her husband his walking papers Miss Taylor and Burton are currently making movie called Cleopatra in which she plays the part of the Egyptian vamp All we can wait for now is movie in which Cleopatra plays Elizabeth Taylor as one wag put it lSenate Reform Overdue Prime Minister Diefenbakers plan for aenate reform is long overdue and not entirely adequate As stated in editorials previously we are in complete agreement with the re tirement of senators at age 75 as pro posed by the government However we also believe the requirements regarding attendance in the Senate should be made more stringent Senators should be re quired to attend at least 80 per cent of daily meetings of the Senate when in ses sion or committee meetings We disagree with the prime ministers proposal on one other important point Senators should be appointed only for specified time and not serve necessarily until they reach age 75 Twelve years would be suitable period which would allow time to learn the job and to make worthwhile contributions to the coun try without the position becoming sine cure or glorified pension plan for elderly politicians

justice and particularly English Law Courts and the cases that come before them that somehow provides to the serious minded deep revela tion into the Wrap and Wool of that particular nations spirit and soul recent publication at the library The Judge and the Judged by Edgar Lustgarten is an excellent example of book dealing with excerpts from some of the many cases which have appeared before some of Englands most learn ed judges and barristers No particular trial is dealt with in detail but the salient points or evidence that leads up to conviction or dismissal are well brought out by the author who is an acknowledged expert in his field and to boot an ex cellent writer No or three pages suffice for each case but the crux of the trialis there The British have high standard in their courts insist on the same standards for their police force and are merciless when bribery and corruption are exposed Mr Justice Avery stern icy and impacable refusing to hear defending counsels plea that the record of long service of London Police Sergeant can victed of bribery and corrup tion be read out in his de fence with the scathing re mark What is the use of par ading his career before you

selfcon scious about my skimA When the term skin sanding first came into poolvar use it was sometimes called sandpa pering and there were some scattered but disastrous cases of girls who tried to rub their faces with sandpaper The re sult was exactly what youd ex pect They scratched their faces infection set in and they suffered both pain and scars So from then on weve avoided the term aandpaperiug and used skin sending or skin plan ing There can be Superficial roughness small pits or scars and if the surface can be smoothed off and the high points removed within limits new skin will grow The difference between high point and the bottom of the pits can be measured in thousandths of an inch We cant remove really prominent scarbut we can sometimes make it less vis ible We cant eliminate deep pittingfrom acne but we can get rid of the lesser rough ness and make the pits shal low We cant get rid of wrinkles but when the skin has become roughened fruni repeated mino sura to the sun planing lets new surface of skin develop with smoother texture Sanding or planing is useful if applied in the right cases but we cant expect it to do more than smooth blemishes The patients

Agnes Purcell literary award for poetry for the eighth time The award is made an nually by the Montreal Council of the Catholic Womenl League By Hm HOOD lpeclli In EonM Correspondent for The Barrio Examiner LONDON Tho British gov ernment has announced that it will undertake th most thorough and searching inquiry yet held into the psychological effects of television programs especially on the minds of young people Tau inquiry which is to be financed jointly by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Independ ent Tblavlalon Authority will be directed particularly at leaner nf violence which up pear on television Imona The decision to have this frp quiry made was sparked by an outburst of criticism and indignation which followed the presentation of particularly brutal scene from serializa tic ol Dickena novel Oliver Twist This scene showed in all its horror and brutality the murder of Nancy by Bill Sykes who clubbed her to death with his pistol The pro gram was presented at pm on Sunday popular time for television viewing by child ren and this added to the wave of condemnation of this violent episode JOINT DECISION The decision to hold the in quiry was made after ser ies of meeting which Butler home secretary had with the BBC and lTA chiefs In which they offered their full cooperation panel of independent ex perts such as psychologists sociologists and people with knowledge of juvenile crime will conduct the investigation it is recalled that the two broadcasting authorities sponsor ed joint study into TV and Ila effect on children two years ago but they would not accept that committeel criticism of violenu on the television ens They may have to more notice of this new in qulry since it ll backed by tho government On the annmmcement being made on lodependent Talcle fon officlailaid We hope this study will prove to have tlve as well as negative results We want it to show how TV can brig people and not only how harm them We want to be able to learn how to use TV to benefit the vlcweraz STORM IN COMMON The showing of the murder of Nancy by Bill Sykes in the Childrens Hour Oliver Twist production raised stormy pro tests in the House of Com mons Victor Yokes Labor llP for Ladywood said it was shown at the peak hour and could have nothing but damaxlns influence The PostmasterGeneral under whose jurisdiction broad casting comcs agreed heartily with this critirlsm He put it even more strongly saw it myself and thought it quite brutal and Inaxcusablc At the same time he rejected Labor demand that ban be placed on all scenes of brutality and violence on television before nine pm Ho said Quite frankly if anyone in my position starts to ban program of brutality the next demand is to be for ban on other programs and every thing contained ln TV broad casts would disappear ln no my One immediate result 9f the protests was decision of the BBC to change the next epi node of Oliver Twist Thll episode was to have included scene depicting hanging The BBC producer has decided to eliminate this from the script orrawa srpoar Indians Greet PM lls White Father By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA The three R5 are the essence of our school days So it was appropriate that when Prime Minister John Diefenbaker recently visited several thousand school children in southwestern 0n tario he should play upon that theme At Parkhili School near Marlon Mr Dlelenhaker en joyed buffet lunch prepared and attractively served by the gay home economics students He praised this delicious meal in his speech and compared it to lunch which he had en joyed whilst visiting school in Canad Arctic We were served meat loaf he said with smile It was very tasty but its composition was little unusual That meatloaf of the three Rs he said consisted of rabbit and reindeer and rat Leaving his Ottawa home at 015 in the morning the prime minister put in aterriflc day with the children Flying to London he then drove to Oakridge Collegiate where he addressed 600 students in the gymnatorium and re ceived standing ovation Next at Parkhill School he told the students in his speech look forward to the day when there will be woman prime minister of

the prime min ister was welcomed by the flag waving cheering students gath ered outside other schools which lay on his route Then to Glercoe School to speak to 400 students and here the prime minister re ceived sensational speech of thanks from pretty young Susan Johnson president of the stu dent council whn spoke in the confident firm tones of an ex perienced orator Finally Mr Diefenbaker was greeted at the entrance to the Muncey Indian reserve by gay band made up of braves and squaws in buckskin and feath ers and played into the Mount Eflgin Indian school Indians from three tribes live on this reserve Chippewas Oneldas and Munceys That last was new to me being one of the smaller tribes in Ontario it was interesting to see the chiefs of those three tribes greet the whiterfather who is

lowest annual crop since Fidel Castro came to power more than three year ago The harvest will probably leave between 500000 and 1000 000 tons of sugar for sale in world markets after fulfilment of trade commitments This could seriously affect the econ omy Industries Minister Ernesto Che Guevara has pubbcly pointed out that sugar sold on world markets means foreign exchange to Cuba Guevara estimated in January the 1962 harvest would be 5400 000 tons which he acknowl edged would be the lowest of the revolutionary period But an authoritative govern ment source told reporter later Cuba would be lucky to get 4600000 tons this year Cuba has pledged 4860000 tons in the crop to nine commu nist countries Stocks from 1961 have been estimated at 800000 tone but domestic consumption in 1962
