She Oshawn Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1962--PAGE 6-- Victims Of Criminals Should Be Compensated Canadian legislators should give close attention to British efforts to frame «@ bill providing for payment of compensation to victims of violent crime, There has been @ growing de- mand in Britain that some sort of compensation be paid criminals' victims, but apart from some news- paper comment, Canadians have shown little if any interest in the proposal.Yet it is logical, practical and desirable. At present we consider that a eriminal pays his debt to society by serving a term in prison, with or with- out a fine,or simply by paying a fine. But in the committing of his crime, the criminal may inflict serious in- jury on a victim or cause extensive property damage. Should not the person responsible for such injury or damage be required to pay at least part of the victim's costs? We think he should. That is the principle of the matter. The practical problem is how com- pensation of the victim should be managed. A British committee, which had studied the question of compensation reported last June, and made two proposals. One would provide compen- sation on a basis similar to that under which victims of industrial injuries are paid. The other would allow the victim to claim a lump sum payment for damages from the government and have his entitlement decided by. the courts. In the preface to its report, the committee stated: "It would seem that a victim's entitlement to compensation ought not to depend on whether or not an offender has been detected and con- victed,." It added that in either of its proposals, provision could be made for the government to recover costs of the compensation to the extent it was practical to do so. Now the British solicitor-general, Sir John Hobson, has hinted that the government may soon introduce legis- lation to enable at least some victims of violent crime to be compensated. Similar legislation needed in Canada. is Highway Service Areas Oil executive D. H. Cooper has run into a barrage of newspaper criticism for views he expressed in a speech to the Community Planning Associa- tion of Canada. His critics concen- trated on his disapproval of service stations and restaurants along High- way 401, and largely ignored his main argument, which was that con- trolled access highways exert a tre- mendous influence on the areas through which they pass and must be protected for the purpose for which they were designed -- the fast move- ment of a heavy volume of traffic. We disagree with Mr. Cooper's eritics about the need for service stations and restaurants along High- way 401. The Queen Elizabeth Way was permitted to become a "hardened artery" and millions of dollars have been spent in attempts to correct the errors of ribbon development along it. The same thing could happen to 401, The argument that the service areas are a necessity along 401 simply does not survive examination. Within 10 miles on each side of the highway there are 87 towns and cities with a population of 2,000 or more; these existing communities are connected to the highway by interchanges every few miles; along the 877. completed miles of the highway there are 277 service stations and 52 restaurants within two minutes' driving time of the highway; automobile - service, close to the highway, is now available on a 24-hour basis at least every 50 miles along the entire length of the highway. In other words, there is plenty of service available to the mo- torist just off the highway. Can we not profit by experience? If what happened to the Queen Elizabeth Way is not enough, we have the benefit of the broader ex- perience of the United States with high-speed, high-volume traffic arter- jes. The federal Interstate Highway Act prohibits for all time the en- ecroachment of commercial develop- ment along the rights of way of the entire 41,000 miles of the interstate highway system in the United States. Service areas are permitted on toll roads, because a toll is paid for the length of the journey, but they are not permitted on free entry roads. The same rule should apply in Ontario. A Walk To. Tobermory Philip Gostling, a Guelph naturalist, has been appointed by the Ontario Federation of Naturalists, to make a comprehensive survey of the proposed Bruce Trail, which will run from Queenston in the Niagara Peninsula to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. It will be a trail for hikers, passing through some of the loveliest country in Ontario; it will be properly marked and eventually will have eamp sités a "day's walk' apart, and hostels may follow, if there is enough demand. Mr. Gostling was enthusiastic about the establishment of the trail, but not enthusiastic about the prospect of Canadians rushing to walk it from end to end. He commented: "We anti- cipate that in the early years some sections will be used by only a few people for the simple reason that we She Osharwn Times T. L. WILSON, Publicher C.

In Ontario, for example, there has been'a great rush to the provincial parks, and we have noticed that, once in the parks, people do not hesitate to walk for miles over some pretty rough ground. They clamber over the nature trails, follow fairly primitive portages and wander along abandoned logging roads and railway tracks. Many of them, we admit, are anglers (how miles are walked and waded per ounce of trout caught?) who will let neither swamp nor rock atand in the way of their passage to promising water; but many others can only be described as walkers--lookers, gawkers and berry- pickers.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- This year,. the world's best known railway train, the Flying Scotsman, cel- ebrates the 100th anniversary of its inauguration in 1862. Every day since then, it has sped along the tracks covering the 393 miles between London and Edinburgh. Now, drawn by a sleek, green diesel locomotive, it hums out of King's Cross sta- tion at 10 a.m., the very aristo- erat of crack express trains. To celebrate its 100th anniver- sary, the Flying Scotsman will cover the distance between Lon- don and Edinburgh's Waverley Station at greater speeds than ever before. One hundred years ago, the train rolled along at a leisurely pace, with coaches lit by gas brackets and no corri- dors. From June 18 on, when the summer timetable for the Flying Scotsman | begins, it will YOUR HEALTH Sign Of Bleeding * King's Cross Calls For Action By JOSEPH G. MOLNER Dear Dr. Molner: Please -ex- plain a "placenta previa." If labor begins, can this be fatal to mother or child?--M.0. Normally in pregnancy the placenta develops high on the wall of the uterus, or womb. The placenta, of course, is that 'joining' tissue through which the fetus, or baby-in-formation, receives its nourishment from the mother The mother's blood ge carries rich led otal the where Seana: placenta, ferred to the umbilical cord, which in turn carries fresh, nourishing bood to the fetus, and on the return trip carries waste matter to be excreted through the mother's kidneys Nature's evident purpose In pacing the placenta high up Is to keep it safe and out of the way However, sometimes (about once in 800 births) the placenta becomes attached at a much lower point, close to or even obstructing the canal through which the bahy should normally be born In that location, may be damaged or torn loose. The result: Bleeding The danger to the mother is from loss of blood; to the baby, it is the risks that go with being premature. The principal and 'indeed usu- ally the only sign of this incor- rect location of the placenta-- and that's what placenta previa is--is bleeding, Sometimes it is slight;' sometimes it is sudden and heavy. Hither way, this is one of the very important rea- sons why any bleeding in preg nancy should be reported to the doctor at once Placenta previa as a makes itself apparent in last two or three months pregnancy, Prompt obstetrical care is mandatory. Otherwise the dan- ger is extreme. However, with immediate skilled care, mothers usually come through in good health, and so, often, do the babies but it is frequently more dangerous to the child, depend- ing upon the degree of prema- turity. (Caesarean section is usually the method of birth.) In any case, it is a serious com- plication Placenta - previa first pregnancies. It is more, much more, liable to occur (although we do not know why) in women who have had several children in close succession A- frequent question is whether pacenta previa means that the mother is likely to en- counter the sdme trouble again. No, this does not often happen. Fortunately Dear Dr. Molner: My father and 1, out of a family of five, dévelop 'cold sores' every few weeks. The rest of the family the placenta partially rule the of is rare in never have them. Can you sug- gest anything we could do?-- r.. =. Cold sores are usually a virus infection which more commonly attacks certain individuals who happen to be susceptible. Curi- ously, an ordinary smallpox vaccination very often puts an end to this troube. (If you read about the recent smallpox out- break in Europe, you can see that it pays to keep your smal- pox inoculations up to date.) Dear Dr. Molner: What is the difference between a peptic ulcer and a duodenal ulcer?-- MRS. M. H. None. A "peptic ulcer" is one in the upper digestive tract in which pepsin and other diges- tive juices are present. This means, briefly, either in the stomach, or in the duodenum, which is the area directly below the stomach. Duodenal ulcers are far more common, and likewise somewhat less danger- ous; they are peptic ulcers : British railways. . train is operated by diesel elec- do the 393-mile journey in ex- actly six hours. RECORD SPEED This will not be the first time that the trip has been made in six hours. In the period between the two world wars, another train, the high-speed Corona- tion, outstripped the Flying Scotsman with a speed of six hours between the two capitals. The Coronation, however, was a lightweight train and did only one journey in each direction a day. Its performance, actually, does not bear comparison with that which will be achieved by the new Flying Scotsman The Flying Scotsman in- creased its prestige in 1928 by becoming the first non-stop train between London and Edin- burgh, creating a record for the distance. Four years later, a hair-dressing salon and cocktail bar were added to make the journey a luxury route. PROUD HERITAGE The first little engine which took the original train out of station began a story unrivalled on Today, the romantic tric traction, but over its lifes time of 100 years, many types of steam locomotives have been used to haul it, engines with names like the Fletcher Four- coupled, and the Gresley Pacific. The present timings on the 393-mile run, at an average speed of 6514 miles an hour are just over seven hours each way. But with the new trains start- ing on June 18, the speed will be 90 miles an hour. The speed- up is being brought about by the introduction of more power- ful diesel-electric locomotives Under the new schedules, the London to Edinburgh route will be covered in exactly six hours three times a day in-each direc- tion. This is the most impress- ive of a big speed up of services between London and the north of Scotland. Twenty-two expresses a week will make the journey in faster times, including the Elizabethan and the Talisman, which also run between London and Edin- burgh. The six hour schedule means reductions of from 33 to 65 minutes in the time taken to make the journey. QUEEN'S PARK Macaulay Stages Show For Ontario By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--This young man is going somewhere. He's in the United Kingdom now. And eventually he might reach the moon You never know. You never know The and Macaulay, down to date. He has had to do his duties as bifold minister (Energy is his second portfolio) in the House. And he did them effectively. But now that he is free of them it could be the sky will be the limit. DID MOST Mr. Macaulay, courses didn't do too badly with one hand tied behind his back be- cause of the session, He got his aconomic council launched, got his 20 point pro- gram well underway, added to these a dozen or so other meas ures, and generally did more in a few months than any other man has done in years here in recent times. But now watch him 'go. BIG FAIR: Indicative of just what may he to come is the small instance of what is being done at the British Food Fair--the biggest show of its kind in the world. of #conomics Hon. Robert minister development of has been a bit held Tast year at this big show the great agricultural province of Ontario had one small exhibit of cheese. This year it will have a great big exhibit of the works. There will be canned foods, fresh foods and girls--who will not be dancing but will be smil- ing furiously A big promotion in itself But this is a Macaulay pro- motion and so it goes a step beyond the big. Along with the show there will be a very practical side pro- gram. Arrangements are being made with the very big Weston food chain for displays in all their stores. And along with the displays there will be merchandise avail- able for merchandising, A POWER-HOUSE: This is just one instance of the imagination that now is being exercised in at least this one department around here And there is undoubtedly go- ing to be a lot of fun watching it in action There are those who like and admire Mr. Macaulay the writer has always been one of these, and the number is-grow- ing. And there are those who don't like him But nobody can say @ power-house. - he isn't READERS' VIEWS Nuclear Survey Response Noted Dear Sir: Last fall, the Ontario Federa- tion of Home and School Asso- ciations asked all their mem- ber groups to discuss, and re- cord views on, a proposed reso- lution opposing the spread of nuclear arms to countries not now possessing them. The mo- tion is one that will be voted on by The Canadian Home and School and Parent - Teacher Federation later this month. A report of the response was made at last week's annual Convention of the Ontario Fed- eration; but little public atten- tion has been drawn to it. Home and School members, and the general public, might like to know the result of this attempt to take a widespread survey, in view of Canada's possible entry into the "nu- clear club." Of Ontario's 1,616 Associa- tions, only 93 reported. Many of these thought that Home and School should not be asked to take any stand on the nuclear question. Of those who voted, members were two to one in favor of the anti-bomb-spread motion. Tf this is representative, it seems that most Canadian par- ents are reluctant to go on record about this vital issue; but when a vote is taken, they are firmly against acceptance of nuclear arms by Canada.

CLARK, Publicity Chairman, 440 Maple Leaf drive, Toronto 15 CH = 1-3821 STRIKE ACTION Dear Sir: To help form an opinion of action that could be taken in lieu of strike action by our unions: I would like to suggest that, in my opinion, if a government more sympathetic to labor were elected, legislation could be introduced to make both parties more willing to agree. President Kennedy has just proved the result of such act as this. R. F, HATTON Oshawa MORE ON STRIKES Dear Sir: I have seen some remarks about strike action in your paper. There is no use talking about strikes being no good until there is a better way forthe working man to get attention from the bosses. We can argue until we are blue in the face, but manage- ment generally pays no atten- tion until we start to talk strike, and only then will they listen to us. If we give up the strike weapon before we have a cast- iron method of making manage- ment pay attention to us, we will be in a very poor posi- tion for bargaining. Nobody except a bum likes to go on strike, but if this is the only way we can argue on equal terms with management, that's the way it's got to be. WORKER, Oshawa PARK & TILFORD Appointment RAY C.
