, Poorest State Will Foot Bills For Carrying Suits To Appeals By ASTLEY HAWKINS London, Sept. 19-- (Reuters) -- The poorest Briton soon will be able to take a case into the most expensive court in the land, and let the Government pay all costs. Under a socialized legal plan, which starts Oct. 2, the State will foot the bill for carrying a civil case to the High Court and the Court of Appeal. But the new law--known as "the poor man's law charter"--stipulates that in ac- tions for libel, slander, seduction and breach of promise, the citizen is strictly on his own. The scheme, which marks the latest development in the country's widespread social services, is ex- pected to benefit Britain's poorest 12,000,000 persons about one- quarter of the country's population. When the plan is in full opera- tion, the Government will be pre- pared to back both sides financially -- plaintiff and defendant -- in a genuine civil case. Facilities will be available for a suit to be carried all the way to the judicial commit- tee of the privy council. For the time being, a litigant must continue to pay his own way through the lower and less-costly courts. Cut To Fit Pocketbook On an appeal to the higher courts, litigants will be entitled to counsel free or a reduced rates on a sliding scale, depending on the individual's income. Later, when Britain's fin- ancial position eases, this will also apply to suits in the lower courts and to criminal cases. A system of state-run legal-advice centres will also be established. The British Law Society, which has been co-operating with the Government in drawing up the scheme, believes introduction of the act will mean more business for the legal profession. But they have warned the public that getting legal help will not be as simple as going to a doctor and getting free medi- cine under the health insurance scheme. See Avalanche of Lawsuits Critics of the scheme believe the new act, when fully applied, will start an avalanche of litigation throughout the country. Framers of the legislation disagree, saying the system provides for plenty of checks to balance any rush. An increased number of genuine divorce or domestic cases may be ventilated under the full act, it is believed, but impartial advice from state legal advisers may at the same time, divert many people from the courts. : In large towns and cities it is planned to have legal-advice bur- eaux open every day, and in the evenings as well for the convenience of working people. Small towns and villages will have bureaux open on certain days or by appointment. Servicemen overseas will have their own advice bureaux. Bed-ridden citizens can have advice brought to their bedside. Visitor's Car Badly Damaged In Brougham Crash MRS. T. C.

Toronto, Sept. 19 (CP)--A special committee of the United Church of Canada has condemntd what it calls the materialism and irrespon- sibility of modern society. In a 100-page report prepared clergymen, the committee says that modern man is lonely in the midst of crowds; has overthrown old standards and now has nothing to use as a guide and has amassed scientific knowledge at the expense of a sense of morality. The report was prepared by a special committee on culture, set up four years ago to study the re- lationship betwéen Christianity and modern culture. The committee compromised prominent clergymen and laymen. The report claimed that "Amer- ican paganism is having a bane- ful influence on Canadian culture. The evil impact of a glamorized American way of life which we are too prone to imitate, bodes ill for our moral and social well-being." Must Believe In God Only through a steadfast belief in God could man's "fear, anxieties and worries be eradicated." Because press and radio have be- come "powerful agents in the shap- ing of our destiny" professional ideals and attitudes are needed by journalists, "The kind of training a journal- ist needs most today is not train- ing in the tricks and machinery of the trade--if he is to be a compe- tent judge of public affairs, he needs the broadest and most lib- eral education." Motion pictures, especially those for study by church groups and | United Church Group Hits Materialism, Paganism; Wants Return to Faith from Hollywood, tend to become a form of "paganism which places the value of money above the value of human personality and irre- sponsible profits above public well- being." Commercial sponsorship of radio | programs and the system of best sellers in literature ;are "fatal to independent and original creative effort" but there was an attempt being: made by some writers to break through the "strangling grip of commerce." Music Seen Commercialized Drama in Canada was healthy and virile but music now was "com- mercialized . . . it is a luxury for those who can afford it." The report said those tendencies are symptoms of man's rootlessness. The growth of science and the com- plexity of modern life has per- suaded him to ignore the tradi- tional religious and social moral standards. There was a general spirit of irresponsibility and "eth- ical anarchy," and the things that counted in life "are the things that money ¢an buy. "Modern man is trying to escape from himself. He has revolted against Divine authority, leaving him only the authority of his own ego . . . this escapism shows that man suffers from a moral infer- iority complex, a perverted idea of his place in the scheme of things." The committee urged the church to "redeem" society by making its claims "for the Christian faith in- telligible to people" who do not now profess it, Ottawa, Sept. 19--(CP)--Perhaps you are among those people who don't particularly care to know that, in 1947, there were only "33 bassinets in all the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

No, it's still the same vast globe the ancients knew, with the same misty limbo of the lost. | We think it is small because of | speeding wheels and wings and the | voice of radio which comes out of the void. A mile is only a minute's travel by wheel or a few seconds' flight--but it is still a mile. The miles add up to a vast un- known into which 100 and more persons have flown or sailed within brief memory, to be swallowed up just as ships were swallowed in the old sailing days. The Sandra carried radio. It was a 350-foot freighter which sailed with 12 men from Savannah for Puerto Cabello, Venezuela -- and disappeared without a trace. On June 16, in the "small world" year on 1950, - search was abandoned. The fate of the craft and the dozen on board was written down as an official mystery. Where are the men and women and two babies--32 persons in all-- who happily boarded a plane at San Juan, Puerto Rico, and flew 1,000 miles toward Miami? A radio message at 4 am. Dec. 27, 1948, re- ported them 50 miles south of their goal. They never arrived.

Both she and Township Clerk F. W. McBain denied receiving any such bill from the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests. F. J. Dawson, chief of the Lands department branch here, said he knew nothing of any bill being made out against the township, though he had sent to the depart- ment his report of expenses en- tailed which amounted to about $23,000. Mr. Dawson said the er- roneous newspaper reports about the bill apparently arose from this report on expenses. Reeve Shipley long has fought against the law which makes an organized township financially "re- sponsible for battling any forest fires originating in the township area. In Toronto T. E, Mackey, chief of the Government Forest Protection Service, also denied that the bill had been sent to Teck Township, which includes Kirkland Lake. Salt Water Dulls Alcohol Craving, Doct New Haven, Conn., Sept. 19--(AP) --Take a drink of salt water when you reach the stage of really crav- ing alcohol, say two New York doctors who have made a study of the problem. . Because, it is explained, your bo- dy is really craving salt, even though your palate says alcohol. There's nothing imaginary behind this sensation, the study indicates. It's a purely physical reaction which fools your senses, ° The study is reported by Doctors W. D. Silkworth and M. Texon of the Knickerbocker Hospital, New York, in the Quarterl Journal of Alcohol. They analyzed the blood of persons who had been drinking heavily enough to be sent to hos- pital. In all cases they found the salt (chloride) reduced. Why Alccholic Drinks "The alcoholic," they report, "in the early stages of a drinking bout, drinks as a result of psychological or environmental factors. At this voluntary stage the blood chlorides are not significantly altered. "When the drinking continues to the point of a lowered blood chlor- ide, the sensation of thirst evokes an abnormal response. Instead of salt and water, the alcoholic con- tinues to take liquor, The stage of uncontrolled drinking has been reached. He Needs Salt "He takes more whisky and water to replace the loss of water and salt. Thus, he does not replace his salt, ors Declare but perhaps satisfies his pharyne geal thirst sensation. (The pharynx is the part of the throat where the thirst sensation is felt.) This fure ther exaggerates his net salt loss and perpetuates his craving." The recommended salt drink, says the report, is two grams of salt in 30 cubic centimetres of wae ter, followed by a 200 cubic centie metre of water. Or a small teaspoon ful of salt in a little more than an ordinary glass of water.
