She Osharoa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, June 21, 1960 Judge Questions Abuse Of Drunkenness Excuse Justice Taschereau of Canada's Su- preme Court believes drunkenness may be providing loopholes for persons charged with more serious crimes. During a hearing of a case in which the court will rule on whether a person can be too drunk to form an intent to commit robbery with violence, he said that 65 per cent of all criminal offences are due to drunkenness. He suggested that if drunkenness as a defence for other crimes was carried too far the jails would be emptied. Involved in the case before the court was a 25-year-old man who had as- saulted and robbed an 84-year-old of $22, The man was acquitted of both charges. The British Columbia Supreme Court and the B.C. Court of Appeals upheld the decision. In every case the man was freed because he was too in- capacitated by liquor to form an intent to commit robbery. The court also said that it therefore followed the man was equally incapable of forming an intent to commit assault. Justice Taschereau said a person charged with drunken driving could plead that he was so drunk he could not form an intent to drive. Would that, the Justice asked, be a defence against drunken driving ? . There appears to be merit in this reasoning. Using these judgments as a yardstick all that is necessary to escape penalty for serious crime is to make a plea of being too drunk to form an intent of rape, robbery, murder, assault or mayhem. If that can be made to stick it is theoretically possible, and it has happened, for the man to escape scot free. "His drunken condition," comments the Sarnia Observer, "enables him to escape the penalties a sober man would receive for the major crime. The fact that he was being tried for something else precludes any possibility of his even being prosecuted for the drunkenness which saved him the penitentiary or the gallows. Sometimes it seems Mr. Micaw- ber's short description of the law seems to describe it with more clarity than its own favorite and redundant wherefores and whereases." Big Hand For Chubby A warm tribute to that great Liberal, Senator Power, is made by the disting- uished Conservative newspaper, the Ottawa Journal. The Journal com- ments: sometimes brooding magic about his speeches that lifted them to a plane of their own. "Chubby' Power, that gallant talker, was also the man of action: the man The campus of Queen's University who in World War II directed Canada's must be richer, certainly a lot livelier," through the presence there of Senator Charles Gavan ("Chubby") Power, made a Fellow under the Skelton-Clark Memorial Foundation, and getting the help of Queen's historians and political scientists to write his political memoirs. For "Chubby" Power, that gallant and engaging figure, must have a lot to remember. Nearly 50 years have gone since he came to Parliament from the battlefield, a broth-of-a-boy who was to become one of the authentic orators of ' Parliament, a power in the inner coun- cils of his party, and a cabinet minister ! who was different. + Only about two men in two genera- | tions, Laurier and Meighen, had more | of the ear of the House, or deserved it | more. "Chubby" Power had not Laur- ' jer's grace nor Meighen's searing invec- ' tive, but there was a Celtic wit and air power, who was a force in Quebec's stormy politics, who, on a matter of principle, walked out of Mackenzie King's cabinet. But the great thing about "Chubby" Power has been his personality; a public man free of pomposity, contemptuous of cliches, full of humor and good talk, lovable and generous in all his relation ships. No man in our public life has had more friends in all parties. Somebody has said that memoirs are "but the vanities of garrulous old age." There will be little of vanity in the memoirs of "Chubby" Power; he has too much humor. What we feel sure he will give us instead is the story of one of the most gifted and adventurous figures -of our time, plus a picture of contemporary politics and politicians which should be of inestimable value for future histor- ians, Care On Rural Roads For the rare motorist not dedicated to high speed a rural road has its at- tractions. But with qualifications. "At times it can be a little like ex- ' ploring another planet," says the Nat- jonal Safety Council; and goes on to impart some sage advice. "Even if you use rural roads a lot, cruising along - smooth highways at 60 mph may make you overconfident when you reach secondary roads. And you may fail to keep an eye peeled for the unexpected." What could loom up around the very next curve? "A two-foot chuckhole, a slow-moving tractor, a flock of chickens, or someone coming out of a side lane." Because almost three times as many persons are killed each year in rural traffic accidents as in urban areas, the Council offers 10 tips on rural motor- ing: : Slow down right away when you reach gravel or dirt roads.

When going up a hill, slow down, keep to the right and honk your horn to warn another car that might be in the middle of the road on the other side of the thill. Watch out for farm vehicles darting out from driveways. Start slowing down the minute you see such a vehicle in your lane ahead. Slow down when approaching a bridge--many are too narrow for two cars at the same time. If a car ap- proaches a bridge the same time you do, don't try to beat it across. Stop and wait until it crosses. You'll live longer! Come to a dead stop at intersections. The few existing stop signs often are overgrown with weeds. Watch for sudden changes on the road surface. One moment you may be on blacktop, the next moment skidding in loose gravel. Stop when a school bus stops ahead of you and proceed again only after it's in motion. Watch out for pedestrians and bi- cyclists. And when you enter a small town, watch out for children playing along the roadside. Stay calm when dogs chase your car. Heed "Danger--Deer Crossing" signs.

' THE TENSION MACHINE FOR BETTER HEALTH What Causes Increase Of Saliva Secretion? HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Ordinarily, most of us secrete between two and three pints of saliva a day.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For Oshawa Times GLASGOW A company has been formed by four internation- al corporations with plans to develop in Scotland a multi-mil- lon pound wood pulp industry. It plans to make use of the steadily increasing supplies of Scottish- grown timber resulti?ng from the forestry cominission's long-term reforestation program, The company is known as Scot- tish Pulp Development. Com. bined in it are Bowaters, Wig- gms Toope, Albert Reed and Thames Board Mills, It has been making exhaustive surveys in three areas, Inverness, Fort Wil- liam and Dunbartonshire. Each of these areas has the necessary geographical and economic at- tributes. Plans for the establish- ment of chip-board factories at Inverness and in Dumfriesshire are also included. PROBLEMS SOLVED The forestry commission has now reached the stage of over- coming all the problems of creat- ing and establishing the ecoun- try's forest estates. The problem now is how best to reap a re- turn on the investment while at the same time preserving the £140 million asset so laboriously built up. A. Watt, Director of Forestry for Scotland, estimates that by the end of the 1950 planting sea- son, 550,000 acres will be under umber, This area, about six per cent of the total land area, will yield a total of more than 550 : 3 a i £ - Figs Bog' "35 i The plans of Scottish Pulp De. velopment fit in very well with this objective as they envisage large-scale employment in the. projected pulp and chipboard 'dren. g 38s Ese Mills, RE-POPULATION The main area concerned wiw the preservation of Scotch pine, the particular value of whieh is that it will survive in the acid soi] of the Highlands is the Ran- noch Forest in central Perth shire, Here, nearly 40 foresters are employed and a small vil lage has sprung up for them at the east end of Loch Rannoch. acids washon, backache, tire feeling, disturbed rest follow.

QUEEN'S PARK Industrial Study Ignores Government By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Prince Philip's 1962 conference should have a lot of interest to Ontario, The conference is to study the human consequences of indus- trial development. A successor to a similar meet- ing held in England in 1956 it will be attended by industrial and labor representatives from all areas of the Empire and Commonwealth. It is being sponsored by some 800 Canadian industrial firms and labor unions at a cost of $500,000 to $600,000 INDUSTRY-COMMUNITY? Of particular interest to us is that under the tentative program the fields of study will cover some of Ontario's most critical problems. In a broad sense this program is mainly devoted to the position of the community in industrial development. One of the particular subjects marked for study is 'the one- industry community". Another is how much respon- BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Wilbur W. Dawn, veteran me- ber of the Toronto police force, was appointed chief police inspec- tor for Oshawa. ' Mrs. E. J.

Oshawa received word that the Dominion Government decided to impose complete conscription for Canada. Hon. C. G. Power, Min ister of National Defence an- nounced all men under 45 be called for military traig sibility industry should have for the community. NO GOVERNMENT? A most amazing aspect, how- ever, is that the early plans have provided no place at all for government in the picture, The only active participants in the conference are industry and labor. This is readily understood and need not be argued against. But there is no plan to con- sult with government, except possibly on the lowest level. And how one can study the community today without con- sulting government is simply un- fathomable. Government is the community. DISDAINFUL INDUSTRY This must be taken largely as another reflection of the snob- bery which large industry is in. clined to have towards govern- ment. It looks down its nose at it and generally takes a disdai air towards its machinery, %its motives and the people in it. It generally regards it as in- competent and then utters surly whines because it does not do a better job. But when its number comes up is a fairly common too. Other causes are pyorrhea, stomatitis, scurvy, pur- Attention should be given to oral hygiene. The doctor probably will rece ommend some sort of a mouth. wash. Potassium chlorate may be prescribed, or possibly an alkaline mouthwash for cleansing the mouth. If the gums are swol- len, an astringent mouthwash may be advisable. TONICS AND VITAMINS Of course tonics and vitamins i may be recommended if the doc- | tor thinks they are necessary.

Aptyalism can result from de- hydration such as occurs with fever or disease of the kidneys. i It may also develop secondary to diabetes, mumps or typhoid fever, X-ray therapy of the face might cause it, too. TASTE LOST In this condition, taste is lost ald some of the teeth may fall out. Again, a doctor's advice should be sought, He probably will rec- ommend using glycerin as a mouthwash as one way of help- ing correct the situation. QUESTION AND ANSWER B. U, S.: My son is constantly bringing food back up into his mouth and then swallowing it again. What causes this? Answer: This condition is known as rumination. It usually occurs in children and generally disappears as time goes on. to do part of this job itself it regards itself as too superior. Observers really can't be blamed if they in turn think it is stupid. This refusal by industry to take an active part in government must be viewed as one of our great weaknesses of today. And if industry believes labor is becoming too strong politically it well might take a look in the mirror. GALLUP POLL Adults Praise Their Parents By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Parents who wonder whether they are doing a good job of lisciplining their gsters, of whether they are being too lax, can take pleasure in the over-all verdict of the Canadian people. Eight in ten adults believe that their own parents found a good balance between strictness and leniency, Just wie one in ten says his were strict; just under one in ten claims his were too easy-going for his own good. But young Canadians are more critical of their parents than are older citizens, Twice the propor- tion of men and women in their twenties think that their own parents were too lenient as think {his way when they are fifty or more. This may be because later generations have relaxed discip- line a little, or because older, more experienced people tend to take a Kkindlier view of the way their parents coped with the problems of raising a family, Checking to find out how peo- ple feel about their own discip- line as children, interviewers for the Gallup Poll put tifis question fo a le of the lation carefully chosen to represent the nation's viewpoint as a whole: and pans bright by rubbing them "DO YOU THINK YOUR PAR- ENTS WERE TOO STRICT WITH YOU, TOO LENIENT, OR JUST ABOUT RIGHT?" To show the different attitude between older Canadiang and those in their twenties, the two age groups are compared to the total opinion across Canada. 21-29 50 and Years Over Total 10% 12% 11% Too lenient 14 7 8 About right 78 neo Can't say - 4 2 100% 100% 100% Westerners are more likely to think they were too strictly brought up than men and women in Quebec province.
