Don't Fence Me In By Joseph Lister Rutledge A lot of people are either ap- proving or bewailing the leftish tinge apparent in the thinking of youth. Yet it is doubtful if there is ground for approval or reason for bewailing. The young collegi- ate and college student is not so much championing a cause, as he is following a pattern. He is rebel- lious in the face of forces whose limitations he can see but cannot remedy. He is as yet untouched by the rude business of living. He is still under the leadership of ideal- ists, whose idealism is not shaped and modified by the immediate and pressing competitive battle for sur- vival. So youth becomes the nat- ural hope of the leftish propagand- ists. It is also their surest check? Youth is their hope because of its quick acceptance of new and virt- ually untried doctrines, for that is the way of youth. It is their check 'because its real faith is represented better in what it does with its time, effort, and enthusiasm, when it is freely determining its. own course for its own ends. A young girl wins the applause of a world for her skating skill and, in the rinks of Timmins, Win- nipeg, and Toronto, boys and girls go seriously about the business of producing another and better Barb- ara Ann Scott. Alone, or under the eyes of a teacher, they spend along hours practicing their figure eights. They are paying the price of ach- ievement, the price of their own conviction that they can advance beyond the crowd. In remote con- struction camps husky and more or less erudite young men are swinging a pick by day and teach- ing in the Frontier College by night. Why? To fit themselves or their scholars into a set pattern? Who would believe that? It is to make a new pattern, and to help these new Canadians do the same. In the mines, in the forest, in surveyors' gangs, in the cook-house or the resort or the farm; in a thousand occupations as varied as the localities and the circumstances in which they are found, youths are working hard and long to earn the money to provide the education that will enable them to be better men than the next, in their chosen work. Maybe they will come back, bronzed and tough-handed, once again to vote against free enter- prise. So what? That is just lip service. In their acts there is no evidence of a belief in a creed that would fence them in. On the fight- ing line youth asks, not for securi- ty, but for its own chance.

Like - glaciers in Canada and Alaska most New Zealand glaciers have puzzled scientists by a large shrinkage .in depth and retreat of their terminal faces during most of the present century. The Franz Josef, which falls pre- cipitously from the Southern Alps, in the South Island, moves faster than most glaciers because of its steep fall. Only when it reaches the level forest-covered coastal plain does it flatten out. It is here that the terminal face has been retreating until recently. The Franz Josef has shown evi- dence of this retreat for at least 50 years, but the movement became much more rapid after 1934. Be- tween then and 1945 its terminal face moved back about 1100 yards. A lake and a grassy flat were left where there had been ice 600 feet thick in 1893 and 200 feet thick as recently as 1934, The glacier has always been a great tourist attraction. Once visi- tors stepped onto the ice from high up in the side of the valley. In re- cent years they have had to ap- proach it by boat across the lake on the valley floor. In the last year the ice has been advancing again and has reoccu- pied about 300 yards of the valley. The lake is gradually 'being filled up with debris from the terminal moraine and if the movement continues it will disappear in about three years, It is not certain, however, that the advance is permanent and that the terminal face of the glacier will return to its former position. Up to a few weeks ago the icé was ad- vancing 3 feet a day, but this has now dropped to between two and 2% feet.

PHONE 262 313 Albert St. , Oshawa Old Swing Bridge Snarles Up Traffic Vancouver (CP).--Life to Clifford Cross is one big merry-go-round. For 17 years he has been going around in circles, disregarding fum- ing motorists who line up waiting for him to stop. It's his job--as foreman of a four- man crew that tramps an eight- hour watch in the centre of the swing span of Frasér Avenue bridge connecting the avenue; with Lulu Island. The aging timber and steel struc- ture is one of the few remaining hand-operated swing spans in Bri- tish Columbia. Under a marine law section, the span must be opened immediately for any boat, large or small, regardless of time, tide or motor traffic. First the operator blocks off traf- fic by lowering the safety gate. Then he walks 688 feet across the bridge to block traffic on the other side. In the centre of the bridge he opens a man-hole cover, inserts a ten-foot pole, and commences the treadmill. The process is repeated to close the bridge and allow traffic to move. Public works officials say the pro- cedure takes 12 minutes. The men who do the turning time it at 15 minutes on a windless day. The end may soon be in sight, however, for an electric motor, which will open the bridge in a whizzing three minutes, is on the way. N.Z. Checks Loyalty Of Public Servants Wellington, N.Z. (CP).--New Zea- land's attitude to persons whose loyalty is open to question in mak- ing public service appointments has been set out by the Public Service Commission in a report which says that it "attaches to integrity still greater importance than to effci- ency." "The Public Service Commission agrees that positions involving sec- recy and national security should not be held by persons who admit membership of, or are reasonably believed to be in active association with, organizations the objects and methods of which conflict with the national interest," the report says. "This consideration is taken into account when appointments are made, and it applies also to the present holders of such positions." Aussie Natives Search For Gold In Bleak Desert By LESLIE BRODIE Canadian Press Correspondent Sydney, Australia--(CP) -- Two mission-trained aborigines, Jimmy and Jacky, have taken a camel team intd Central Australia in search of Lasseter's lost reef--a fabulous El Dorado somewhere in' the Spinifex wastes of the interior. The two aborigines are experienc- ed prospectors with four previous expeditions in search of the reef to their credit. They will be "pro- tected" by another native called Tommy who has only one leg. The first of many journeys into the interior to locate the gold be- gan soon after a prospector, Harry Lasseter, wandered into a surveyor's camp on the Adelaide-Darwin Overland Telegraph route in 1902 with a tale of having found a reef studded with gold "as thick as plums in a pudding." Lasseter said he got lost return- ing from the reef. His horses had died one by one and he had wan- dered about for days in a semi-ex- hausted condition until he stumbled into the surveyor's camp.. Three years later he and the sur- veyor went back to find the reef but they failed. Although many prospectors doubt Gasseter""s story, old timers of the gold rush days of the West believe the reef exists--probably on sacred grounds of the aborigines, who have done everything possible to prevent the white men's search parties prob- ing the area. Lasseter spent the rest of his life going over his tracks and final- ly perished late in 1930. His naked body was discovered early in 1931. For months he had wandered about with the natives, living on their foods and trying to get a clue that might lead him back to the reef. A native spirit-man eventually "hexed" him and left him to die. At least 11 other men have died looking for the reef. Jimmy and Jacky have had nar- row escapes on their previous ex- peditions. They have been hamper- ed by heavy sands, lack of water, and a deadly fear of being speared by wild Spinifex tribesmen. Under the law they, as aborigines, are not allowed to carry firearms and they will have to rely on their protector, Tommy, to talk them out of any trouble they might run into, Tommy is a member of the Spini- fex tribe. They have taken plenty of wa- ter with them in four-gallon drums strapped to their camels. Before leaving for the desert they told miners they had information from "friends among the natives" that led them to hope they would be successful. Mining interests in Kalgoorlie, a West Australian gold town, are un- derstood to be backing them.

When an offence appears to be a |, mere incident in adolescence, prose- cutors should consult a medical of- ficer or psychiatrist with a view to requiring the offender to submit to medical treatment, the report said. In adolescent cases it recommended probation under skilled supervis- ion. In other cases, when the offend- er has been proven guilty, the court should consider a psychiatrist's re- port before making an order. If there was a chance of cases res- ponding to treatment, but not while under prison sentence, offenders should be placed om probation un- der a competent psycho-therapist. Cases which might respond to treatment, but which require re- straint, should be committed to prison long enough to ensure com- pletion of treatment. Where there was no chance of treatment suc- ceeding, the sentence should be a period of preventive detention or committal to a mental institution.
