he Oshavon Ses Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Monday, ' February 8, 1960 \ Bailiff Legislation A spokesman for the Ontario Attor- ney-General's department is quoted as saying, "The whole bailiff situation has to be looked at." It certainly has parti- cularly since a county court judge re- cently acquitted three bailiffs who had been charged with forcible entry and assault following a repossession inci- dent. The judge ruled, in effect, that bailiffs had a right to enter homes for- cibly in the course of their duties. Attorney-General Roberts has set up a committee to study legislation gov- erning appointment and control of bailiffs. His department is also consider- ing appealing the decision of the county court judge. The appeal should be pressed, and there should be no delay in the study. There have been many reported incidents in recent months of bailiffs acting very aggressive fashion, and if this sort of thing is condoned, some ancient traditional rights of the individual will disappear. in a The Criminal Code states: "A person commits forcible entry when he enters real property, that is in actual and peace- able possession of another, in a manner that is likely to because a breach of the peace or reasonable apprehension of a breach of the peace, whether or not he is entitled to enter." In the case before the county judge, crown counsel claimed the bailiffs had no right to enter the homes without permission of the tenants end without a court order. Attorney General Roberts says that bailiffs do not have more rights than a police officer, "not as much in some respects." Clearly the - Attorney-General and crown counsel do not agree with the judge's view of the rights of bailiffs under the law. The British tradition of law certainly supports the Attorney General, but it is obvious that legislation governing bailiffs must be amended for public protection. Statement Of Belief Prime Minister Diefenbaker should ponder ways and means of letting the Union of South Africa and the world know just what Canada thinks about the policy of apartheid. Prime Minister Macmillan of the United Kingdom has shown him how it can be done with . dignity and sincerity. His projected visit to the African continent would seem to offer the opportunity. ; Mr. Macmillan's speech to the South African legislators was one of the most significant statements in the history of the Commonwealth. While recognizing that the domestic policies of South Africa were the business of South Afri- cans, he made it clear that the racial separation theory could never be sup- ported by Britain and that, indeed, it violated the fundamental British concept of the individual's relation to the state. He warned, too, that the weight of the people of Africa could make a big difference in the balance between East and West. But that has been said many times by statesmen thoroughout the Commonwealth and the West. The significant part of the speech was his frank statement of Britain's critical view of the South African government's policy of racial segregation. That gov- ernment has been pushing towards estab- lishment of a republic, which may or may not remain in the Commonwealth, and Mr. Macmillan's speech was scar- cely designed to slow that development. One can only assume that the British government has decided that South Africa can be more of a liability than an asset, particularly in relation to the British program of independence in other parts of the continent, and the Mac- millan speech was deliberately design- ed to make that clear to the South Africans. Most Canadians will agree with the stand taken by Mr. Macmillan. The Canadian government has been careful to avoid any specific condemnation of the South African government's policies, but there should be as clear a statement as that of Mr. Macmillan's setting forth the Canadian opinion of apartheid. Mr, Diefenbaker, on his, African visit, could speak even more frankly than the British prime minister did, without fear of exag- gerating the dislike of the Canadian people for racial segregation. Qualified Contractors The Canadian Construction Associa- tion has adopted the principle of pre- qualification on road-building contracts, and urges provincial departments to in- corporate this principle in their con- tracting party. This is a method of classifying the work capacity of bidders in advance of tendering to determine whether a com- pany bidding has the potential to com- plete the job. It has been a contro- versial issue within the industry for many years. Opponents of qualification argue that it cramps free enterprise and denies opportunities to beginners. To a point this is true, yet the same can be said for many other facets of our economy. There are rigid qualifications, as an example, for electricians and plumbers. The medical profession is extremely jealous of any unauthorized person who engages an illegal practice. The number of areas of activity with rigid prequalifi- cations are almost unlimited. Road-building today is far removed from the days when all that was re- quired was a scraper, and some vehicles to transport ballast. It could be said that it is an exacting science, requiring the greatest-skill that can be brought he Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manoger €.

For want of the neces- sary skills and equipment, the road may well prove to be a failure. A poor road is a liability to the com- munity, and there does seem to be a valid responsibility with government to insure that incompetent contractors are not permitted to undertake work of this nature. Thus, the Construction Associa- tion proposal that contractors be rated as to assets, past performance and other commitments seems a reasonable pre- caution to save public funds. Other Editor's Views USE OUR FEET (Brockville Recorder Times) One partial solution to Fredericton's traffic problem, a solution applicable to many other places as well, would be for more people to use their feet. There is not the slightest doubt that many people driving automobiles on our streets could perform thegerrands they are doing by walking to their destina- tions. Moreover, many of them would be better for the walk. Few things are more conductive to good health and mental clarity than a stroll in the bracing air of a Canadian Winter. And, with the. snail's pace to which vehicle traffic is frequently reduced, it is often possible to walk to a city destination faster than to drive there. Bible Thoughts 1 the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.--Ecclesiastes 1:12. The full story of His life reveals a bright beginning and a dark end. It is ifhportant for a ruler as for anyone else to be true to the light he has. God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.~--II Corithians 9:8. All grace, always, all sufficiency, all things, every good work: what inclu. siveness is here. For all this "God is able." GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Cancer Victory Hopes General By Canadian Institute of Public Opinion A cure fofecancer will have been found by 1980, say about eight in ten Canadians. This hope is shared to much the same degree by the peoples of Switzer- land, Greece and the U.S.A. * British citizens are less optimis- tic, since little more than six in ten expect such a cure to be found in twenty years' time. There's less hope for a life expectancy of 100 years. In Canada just under three in ten think this might be taken for granted twenty years from now. The Dutch people are more optimistic about it, with about five in tem hoping for it, while in France, the proportion is less than one in ten, That man will have landed on the moon by 1980 is a certainty for more than six in ten Canad- ian. In the States about five in ten expect such a trip to be made. However there's less expecta. tion "that barriers between nations on the earth will be so unimportant that men and women will be able to travel anywhere without passports. In Canada 20° per cent think this might be true of 1980, In Great Britain 30 per cent do so. In the U.S.A. only 16 per cent look for such a freedom. To chart such points of view in many countries, affiliated World Gallup Polls put the same questions to national cross. sedtions in each, Interviewers put a series of possibilities to men and women and asked: "LOOKING AHEAD TO 1980, THAT IS TWENTY YEARS TIME, WHICH OF THESE THINGS DO YOU THINK WILL HAVE HAPPENED BY THEN?" Canadian reactions to four of the possibilities are shown below.

BUNDESEN, MD Here's a seven-point program designed to make every day a happy day for you housewives and your families. It comes, na- turally, from a housewife, Dora Albert. In her new book, "Stop Feel- ing Tired and Start Living", Mrs. Albert lists certain rules which she says will keep you from feeling pooped at the end of the day and will generally make your home a happier one. SOUND PROGRAM 1 think her program is a sound one, so I'd like to pass it on to you: 1. Start each morning with a hopeful, positive thought. When you awaken, think to yourself, "This is going to be a wonderful day." Have smiles, not arguments for breakfast. You must give your husband enough emotional security at breakfast-time so he can endure the whole day's pres- sures. If you must bring up a point of dissention, do it later in the day, never at the breakfast table. WATCH TEMPER 2. Try to avoid becoming unne- cessarily angry during the day. When you are tempted to become angry, keep your voice down. Think of the persons to whom you are talking as a fictional character. In that way you can keep yourself from becoming emotionally involved. 3. Stop trying to be a perfec- tionist. Only a perfect woman could keep a house immaculate at all times, bring up perfectly behaved and happy children, al- ways look stunning herself and still remain serene. If your children are happy and well-adjusted and you yourself are radiant with happiness your hus- band won't even notice that speck of dust in the corner. It isn't fatal. 4. Don't harp on things that go wrong, either to your husband or to anyone else. They don't make sparkling conversation and you become doubly worn out concen- trating on the gloom. 5. Always stop any chore before you become tired. You can re. cuperate much more quickly than if you wait until you are tired. Take frequent brief breathers. During these brief 'rest cures", notice the way the leaves on the trees outside your home are shaped, or notice the way a bird's wing curves, or reciie to yourself a well-loved poem. 6. Always be sure there is some. thing in your life in the near fu- ture that you can look forward to. Try to devote at least two evenings a week to activities you enjoy. KEEP MIND ACTIVE 7. Keep your mind' shining and alive. If there are household chores you don't particularly enjoy, try to find some way of making them enjoyable. If those tasks can be done automatically, then let your mind rove to other, more enjoy- able, facts of life. Never let yourself get bogged down in bore: dom, Makes 'a lot of sense, doesn't it? QUESTION AND ANSWER BY-GONE DAYS 17- YEARS AGO ""Mrs. J. Gordon Ratcliffe, Girl Guide Commissioner for South Oshawa, was awarded the second highest award. in the Girl Guide movement, when Mrs. H. F. Hertzberger, Provincial Commis- sioner, made the presentation of the Bronze Beaver for long and outstanding work. ' Fit.-Lt. Henry Wotton, New- market, former chaplain of the RCAF, delivered a stirring ad- dress entitled "The Church and Victory" to members of Oshawa service clubs. A special nurses' aide course under the supervision of Miss Eugene Stuart, was given to women who qualified at the OGH. E. W. Webber retired after a six-year term as Oshawa Fair president and Norman Down was named president for 1943. The So- ciety had a surplus of $2000 to commence the year's operations. A library of medical text books and. periodicals was put at the disposal of the medical staff at 1e OGH by the hoard of manage- ment. It was approved at the annual QUEEN'S PARK allotting the seats almost strictly i on a basis of precedence. Opposition In House Takes Definite Shape By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The larger oppo- sition at this session means some changes. Twenty-two Liberals and five CCF'ers is the biggest left-side group that the chamber has seen since 1951 (when the House had 37 opposition members.) One of the changes will be that under the seating plan the opposi- tion group will have something approaching a real identity of its own. In the past two sessions it has been very thin ham in a thick sandwich. It has had a little section of desks opposite the government, and surrounded on both sides by PC members. WHERE BELONGS Now it will have a solid row of seats directly to the left of Mr, Speaker, where traditionally it belongs. Also the Liberals, for the first time since 1943, will have a re spectable number of back bench- ers. They will have a row of eight desks on the front line facing the government, Which, in itself, is enough to give them a bit of added courage. JEALOUS PREROGATIVE It is interesting to note who will have the front row desks in the Liberal group. To the public this, of course, doesn't mean a thing. But here it is a matter of high importance. A front row desk means pres- tige. It is perhaps a false pres. tige. But it certainly means some- thing here. SERVICE COUNTS The Liberals have solved the question of potential jeajousies by Their front row will be occupied and "youngsters" Ross Whicher of Bruce and leader John Winter. meyer. There undoubtedly are a num- ber of stronger men in the party ranks than some of these. But they have the precedence. Mr. Wintermeyer will be seated between Mr. Nixon and Mr. Oli ver, the two long-termers of both the party and the House. REALLY SLUGGING The Liberals, incidentally, cons tinue to amaze, with their hard work. A recently concluded caucus marked the 14th day of caucus. sing since last August. There is no question that this sets an all-time record in this legislature, And beyond the caucus a num- ber of the members have bees putting real effort into research. The group probably will be green at this winter's session but give them some experience and they should be a powerful opposi- n. vestry meeting that the b auditorium of Christ Church be enlarged through an extension that would provide two additional rooms and hold the chancel. Among a total of 75 women donors who attended the Blood Donor Service, Mrs. C. Lownie, King street east, became the 6000th donor. During the past year $2400 was raised to complete the -pay- ment of the mortgage on Calvary Baptist Church. A portable frame church build- ing was secured from the Unit- ed Church of Canada and moved to the land donated bv Mr. Her- ron in Ajax. Clergy representing four denominations took part in the opening ceremony. Annual report submitted by Chief Constable 0. D. Friend re- vealed that out of 2127 persons charged in magistrates court for various offences during 1942 a total of 1979 were convicted. Mon- {es collected by the police dept., through licences and other sources amounted to $4,194.34. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Oliver Wendell Holmes said paying taxes constituted buying civilization. In these days, how- ever, the trouble is that the taxes continually get higher and the brand of civilization lower. The following statement is sub. mitted as the best joke of 1959-- After Michigan voted new and steep taxes on five items which will affect most consumers, it was stated: "All of the new tax measures are temporary." "Can a Catholic be President of the United States?"--Title of a magazine article. Yes, indeed --if he's nominated and if enough people vote for him. Mrs. G. C.: Is it possible to have gall attacks when gall stones and the gallbladder were removed 2% years ago? Answer: Such attacks may be due to inflammation or stones in the bile duct or liver. A careful study is necessary to determine their cause. Book Treasure For College WILCOX, Sask. (CP)--A first edition of The Nuremberg Chron- icle, most famous of the late ntedieval histories, has become'a part of the library of Notre Dame College. The literary treasure was given to Rev. Athol Murray, president and founder of the Roman Cath- olic college, by his students, They bought it for $600 from Vancouver architect Kenneth Gardiner. The book was written in latin by Schedel, renowned German historian, and published in 1493. It contains more than 2,000 il lustrations. The chronicle contains the hist. ory of the world to 1492, maps of the cities of Europe at that time, and the names of rulers and important people. Mr. Gardiner bought the book in South America during the Sec- ond World War from a German refugee.
