he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E.,, Oshawo, Ont, Poge 6 Tuesdoy, September 6, 1 960 Better Communities Come From Planning There is a continuing controversy in Darlington township on the subject of township planning. The need or impor- tance of planning is not so much in question as the methods, but readers of our news columns will be familiar with the details, What is fundamentally important is the lively interest taken in the planning regulations by a con- siderable number of the township's resi. dents, In the long run, this can only result in good. Municipal improvement does not come from public apathy but from public interest snd argument. Town planning, unfortunately, meets apathy more often than it does active interest. Yet it is a subject that cannot help but affect each citizen in a per- sonal way as the urban areas continue their spread across the southern Ontario countryside. An interested and informed citizenry can see that steps are taken now to avoid the costly mistakes that lack of planning can cause; without the interest, planning authorities must work in. an atmosphere of frustration and disappointment. In Guelph last week, Elmer Sauer, president of the Soil Conservation Society of America, urged Canadians to use land properly, The Hon, Alvin Hamilton, federal minister of northern affairs and national resources, said Cane ada should have a plan for resource development, At about the same time the Ontario Municipal Association was being told by J. B. Milner of the law faculty of the University of Toronto, that suburban growth is destroying both city and country. It is not just that the urban sprawl is removing from production some of the best farmland in the world, This is serious enough, when one considers that the rate of the world's population growth will place a greater and greater strain on agricultural resources -- that in 40 years, for example, the production of food and fibre will have to be in- creased 160 per cent. The urban sprawl has its own build-in problems -- prob- lems that, if not tackled in the early stages, grow into monumental headaches, Movement of traffic is only one such problem. Provision of recreational areas is another, The problems - must better sooner than later. be faced, and Law-Breaking Excused It has been repeatedly charged in these columns that we cannot expect any substantial improvement in traffic safety as long as the courts refuse to regard traffic offences as seriously as they do other offences. The work of police officers in enforcing the law is often frustrated by what seems to be a double standard used by some magis- trates --~ one standard, and a stiff one, for such crimes as petty theft, and another, much softer standard for people guilty of traffic offences. A glaring example of this was seen last week in Toronto, where a magistrate dismissed a charge of leaving the scene of an accident against a motorist who admitted his guilt. The motorist said he broke the traffic law because the woman in the car with him was not his wife, and had he stayed at the scene of the accident there would have been unpleasant notoriety, The magistrate apparently considered this an adequate excuse for law-breaking, Leaving the scene of an accident is not only the act of a coward and sneak; in many cases it is an act of brutality, when a victim of the accident is left in- jured, perhaps dying; and it generally means hours, days and even weeks of strenuous police work to track down the culprit -- time that could be put to better use by the police on the job of accident prevention. But in the eyes of one magistrate at least, leaving the scene of an accident is excusable if it helps someone escape embarrassment or notoriety, Why, in the name of justice, does a driver leave the scene of an accident except to escape the conse- quences, all the consequences? ever The magistrate has read an odd inter- pretation into law, one well calculated to inspire contempt for all law, It this: an offence can be excused if it is committed to save somebody's repu- tation, A woman who steals pennies to feed her starving children is a criminal and must be punished; a man who adds to his home without obtaining a build. ing permit is a sinner against society, and must be punished and a driver who gets involved in an accident and then runs away must be tracked down and punished -- unless he is driving around with a woman not his wife, in which 18 case he must be excused, If this is justice, or good law enforce ment, we'll take the jungle, When Husband Was Late Today, the X-ray 1s an accepted com monplace with civilization. It was, how- ever, not always thus As recently as 1895-just 65 years ago Professor Roentgen of Warzburg University exasperated his wife by com. ing late to supper, After going to a lot of trouble to prepare her scholarly husband's favorite dish, she was annoyed that he merely trifled with it, To make matters worse, he did not speak when she spoke to him, He per- sonified the absent-minded professor, Frau Roentgen reacted as other good wives react under such circumstances. She simply blew her top. The professor, thus atvakened to the world of realities, was speedily con. trite. He explained that he was think ing about an extraordinary experiment, The Oshawa dimes T.

What she saw was some barium- platin cyanide salts glowing mysteriously in the pitch-darkness of the laboratory, Her husband knew, if she did not, that that glow was profoundly significant, He had been experimenting with what was called a Crooke's tube in which an electric current was applied to one end of a vacuum tube and at the other was a metal cross. "Something" passed be- tween the two and made the glass at the end of the tube glow, but with the cross as a shadow, Roentgen had enclosed his tube com- pletely in blackened cardboard so that no light escaped. Yet some sort of rays were escaping because they made the salts on the nearby bench glow, In further experiments he found that the invisible rays had remarkable powers of penetration, If he put his hand be. tween the tube and a photographis plate, he could get a picture of bones, with barely a shadow of flesh, So doctors could now see inside the living body.
