Ne DON'T FORGET THE LIVE AUCTION In an age when service clubs generally are hard- pressed for funds with which to carry on with worth- while projects, it is important to call attention to an upcoming event, This is the Live Auc- tion which is to be held in the Children's Arena, June 21-22, under the joint sponsorship of the Oshawa Lions and the Oshawa B"Nai B'Rith. These two clubs do more than preach Brother- hood -- they practice it by working together on pro- jects. in peace and har- mony, : Both clubs urgently need the proceeds so that they can carry on with pet projects -- with the Lions, its Sight Conservation (buying glasses for the needy, entertaining the blind), with B'Nai B'Rith its Little League Baseball, and other athletic endeavors for youngsters, Don Branch of the Lions is publicity chairman. Don't forget the date. DON BRANCH EDITORIAL GUNS ARE STIRRED Magistrate Robert Dnieper knows how to stir up a hornet's nest in a remarkably short time. The 32-year-old Osgoode Hall Law School grad- uate (Class of 1956) has become a controversial figure far beyond the borders of Ontario County in little more than three weeks on the Bench in this district. He has also. stirred some mighty editorial pens be- cause he ordered an accused last week to go home and change his work clothes for attire he could wear to church if necessary. The Globe and Mail (under the caption "Respect or Snobbery?"') was quick to interpret this as "an un- pleasant note of class consciousness and contempt for the accoutrement of honest labor" while the Toronto Star complained that "Magistrate Dnieper seems to have got the dignity of justice slightly confused with sartorial snobbery . . . But the quality of the clothing is ir- revelant, and a workingman with good reason for wear- ing working clothes deserves no rebuke." The caption read "Snob Justice." The Peterborough Examiner admitted editorially, on the other hand, that it was a little disturbed by the "slackness in dress" displayed in Magistrate's courts pre- viously in that city and commented: "The remarks made by Magistrate Dnieper do not come frequently enough from the Bench . . . . They (the courts) deserve every bit as much respect from those who must do business with them as would be given to the most solemn institu- tions of man. Anything which cheapens them, or is disrespectful to them, reduces their efficacy in the cause of justice." Magistrate Dnieper's methods of court procedure are revolutionary, at least for this district. He has ruled with a blunt, incisive firmness that has startled some who regard him as being too uncom- promising, inflexible in his sentences and legal judg- ments, but he has displayed no favoritism. Many in the legal fraternity feel that he has been unduly harsh with defence counsel, especially with senior men who are respected for their judicious court manners. a x Russell Humphrey's, QC, was recently startled when Magistrate Dnieper told him in open court: "Your client is a nut" and His Worship publicly expressed the opinion that it was improper for the Crown to have strong feel- ings about any case (which was said in the absence of Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck). One of Magistrate Dnieper's pet peeves is the number of remands granted in this district ("Remand- itis is a prevalent disease in this area. Liberties taken by counsel, Crown counsel and agents are appalling") he said recently. He has little sympathy also for teen-age drinkers. ("I feel very strongly about young people drinking. They make too much trouble for everybody," he said in handing out stiff sentences to two Pickering youths for obtaining liquor as minors. "This offence is more prevalent in this area than in any I have ever known. I intend to put a stop to it." He sentenced a Pickering Township man who swore at a police officer to three days in jail. Despite such editorial outbursts, Magistrate Dnieper is not without his champions (as The Peterborough Ex- aminer illustrates). There are also those who feel that His Worship is on the right track, that it doesn't hurt to hand out more maximum-term sentences, to reprimand the defence and even the Crown, if for no other reason than to keep all concerned on their toes. There are also those who feel that such offences as teen-age drinking and assaults on police officers can only be curbed by stiffer penalties, and that the law must be enforced with far more vigor. Meanwhile, Magistrate Dnieper is ruffling plenty of furs, many of them, no doubt, in rarified political atmospheres. : JOE VICTOR HAS A NEW BOSS NOW Joseph Victor of 38 Bond street west had a unique experience last week. He went to work for somebody else for the first time in his life. The 45-year-old sports store proprietor and former city councillor went to work as a law clerk ("working under articles") with the firm of Creighton, Fraser, Drynan and Murdoch. He will spend the next 15 months there--then he will return to Osgoode Hall Law School for six weeks before being called to the Bar. He expects to be graduated this month from Osgoode after a three-year course. Victor is the father of two sons, 23 and 25 and a grandfather. He failed to graduate from high school as a youth because he had to go to work. He returned to school in 1955 after an absence of 22 years. He got enough credits to enter University College, Toronto, where he was graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree after three years. He then went to Osgoode and has commuted daily by bus during the school year to classes. Youngsters who find the road to higher education too tough, who are ready to toss in the sponge and go to work, should take a good hard look at Victor's career. It sings out for special attention, has a powerful message for those who forsake the search for higher education before they have properly equipped them- selves for the hectic battle of life. 'WIND SIGHS THROUGH THE GRASS Asked this week if there was any noticeable activ- ity in Oshawa's Industrial Park of late, Alderman Cephas Gay met the question head on. "There may be," quipped Cephas, "but if there is, it's ungoticeable from where I sit--as a neatter of fact, the onfgactivity I can see down there is the wind sighing through the grass." | | "NOBODY HERE BUT US WOLVES Look Ma. no cavities--Cub , bounty hunters by the depart- | in a conservation contest spon- Scott Bond of Toronto seems ment of lands and forests, The | gored by an oil company. impressed by this lineup of | heads will be presented to 27 | : wolf heads collected from | cub packs in Ontario as prizes | . --(CP Wirephoto) Mickey Feener Warrant Out For Papalia | L] Pa S His Debt TORONTO (CP) -- A bench warrant was issued Monday for {John Papalia, 37 - year - old HAILEYBURY (CP) -- Owen his arrest for the killing of Miss gambler, when he failed to ap- (Mickey) Feener, 23, the 11th|Chouinor he was being held on pear in court on a charge of person to be hanged in Canadaja charge of offering an indig-| assaulting Toronto gambler since 1957, went to his death|nity to a dead body in connec- Max Bluestein March 21. early today for the murder of a tion with the death of Cathy| Magistrate Thomas Elmore 26-year-old Timmins woman.

Other strides Monday included detailed study of all 41 clauses in amendments to the Canada Shipping Act and approval in the preliminary stages of these th government measures: . Amendments to the Farm Credit Act to increase the lend- ing authorization of the Farm Credit Corporation to $300,000,- 000 from $200,000,000. 2. A financial administration act involving largely govern- ment housekeeping, giving the finance minister power to buy and sell government-backed se- curities and to assign Crown debts owed under contracts. 3. Amendments to the Export Credits Insurance Act pumping Uranium OTTAWA (CP)--Three Cana- |dian cabinet ministers and the head of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority opened talks Monday aimed at working out a compromise on a British commitment to buy 13,- 000 tons of Canadian uranium in 1963-66. The meeting is the first of what is expected to be a series of conferences for renegotiation of the 1057 British commitment involving the sale of uranium valued at $192,000,000. Parliament At-A-Glance By THE CANADIAN PRESS Monday, June 12, 1961 Prime Minister Diefenbaker announced a joint Canada-U.S. aircraft production program in which Canada will receive American Voodoo jet intercept- ors in return for assuming in- creased radar responsibilities. New g o v e r n ment narcotics measures received final Com- mons approval--the House vot- ing down a motion by John Drysdale (PC--Burnaby - Rich- mond) to provide the death penalty for non-addict traffick- ers, Swift approval was given a Penitentiaries Act--the first full overhaul of the federal penal system since a consolidation of amendments in the late 1800s. First reading was given a government bill to pump an- other $100,000,000 into the Farm Credit Corporation. It became official that the Commons is trying to wind up its business by June 30, with Government House Leader Churchill praising the speed in which MPs were chewing into their work. Lionel Chevrier (L--Montreal Laurier) said the government is giving up sovereignty by ex- empting American vessels from compulsory pilotage on the Cornwall-Montreal stretch of the St. Lawrence Seaway. ~ Tuesday, June 13 The Commons meeis at 11 a.m. to debate a motion to set up a special committee to study the War Measures Act; the Senate meets at 8 p.m. Debate Begins Deal After the three-hour meeting, a conference spokesman said "useful discussions" were held and a number of technical points cleared up. He said technical representa- tives of both governments will meet this morning to prepare material for another meeting of delegates in the afternoon. There was no indication whether further meetings would third reading of the Shipping Act changes and, among other things, debate on Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker's motion to es- tablish a special committee to remove inconsistencies between th Bill of Rights and the War Measures Act. Monday's attempted amend- ment of the Narcotic Control Act was by John Drysdale (PC --Burnaby-Richmond) and Fer- guson Browne(PC --Vancouver Kingsway), both Vancouver law- vers. Their amendment was de- feated 44 to 8 on a vote that crossed party lines. Thus the House adopted the original government proposal of increasing the maximum term for trafficking to life imprison- ment from the present 14 years. Mr. Drysdale said life isn't enough---specially for non-addict traffickers who seek only profit. As subsequently passed, the Narcotics Act gives the courts power to bypass the trial of a person charged with drug pos- session, smuggling or traffick- ing. Instead, if a medical exam- ination proved the accused to be an addict, he could be sent to custody for treatment, WAS LONG WAIT Revision to the Penitentiaries Buildings 'Penitentiaries Act Revisions Pass House OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- legistative voice onday night to the govern- there has been no full-scale re- vision since then. Mr. Fulton explained that one major new provision gives Ot- tawa authority to make agree- ments under which the federal prison system would take over from the provinces the respon- sibility for those sentenced to more than six months. At pre- sent, only: those sentenced to two years or more are sent to federal prisons. The agreements, however, are not imminent. The minister noted that in 1958, when the general understanding on this shift in responsibility was reached in a Dominion-provin- cial conference, it was made plain that the federal system first would have to be improved and enlarged. Mr. Fulton said Monday night he told the provinces in 1958 that this .will take many years --"as it wil." A similar situa- tion applies to a new provision under which convicts 16 or un- der--except those sentenced for murder, manslaughter or rape --would be kept in special insti- tutions, away from adult offend- ers. TO GET U.S. PLANES The Commons day began with Prime Minister Diefenbaker's confirmation of reports that Canada will get 66 Voodoo in- tarceptors from the United States in return for assuming responsibilities and operation costs of 16 Pinetree radar bases in Canada.

Others include E. J. S. Clarke and Anton Gray, members of the British author- ity; John Drinkwater, the au- thority's raw materials repre- sentative in Washington, and . E. Herbecq, private secre- tary to Sir Rogers. Britain asked Canada to re- negotiate the contract because the U.K. authority now has stocks of uranium greater than the amount it will require for some years. Faults Found In Highway 401 TORONTO (CP) -- Paving de- fects have been discovered in 20 miles of new road on High- way 401 between Brighton and Cobourg, W. A. Clarke, chief en- gineer of the department of highways, said Monday. The defects, called fat spots or globular asphalt, occur in circles with diameters ranging from six to 12 inches and do not affect either the strength or the riding quality of the surface, officials said. The paving was being done by four companies. Mr. Clarke said paving was halted last Thursday. It was ex- pected to resume today with an- other source of asphalt. He said there were no plans to rip up and replace the road surface. Investigations are under way to find out what caused the de- fects. r. Clarke said they were not believed the fault of the con- tractors. balled "'arthritic pain - killer" seemed to be only water, but the college could not prosecute because no pharmaceutical pro- duct was involved.
