he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Parolee Could Promote Penal Reform Measures Paroled bank robber Edwin Alonzo Boyd is personable and erticulate. He says he now wants the chance to live as a decent, intelligent human being. He has already shown a quick intelligence. It is up to him to prove that he is decent -- one does not do that with words. He is being given his chance and we hope he does not fluff it. Boyd could be a glittering example of the effectiveness of parole and rehabilitation in the penal system. Or he could set penal progress back ten years in Canada. Not since Red Ryan has a criminal gone to jail and then been paroled in such blaze of publicity. Penal authorities undoub- tedly are aware of the publicity factor in Boyd's case; he can be their prize exhibit or their s d great failure. We sincerely hope that Boyd makes the grade, not only fox himself but for the sake of enlightened treat- ment of offenders against society. Legal and penal authorities are be- coming more and more critical of the short prison sentetices, more and more convinced of the need for longer con- trol (not necessarily in prison) over the offender. George Street, chairman of the National Parole Board, for instance, thinks that most short sen- tences -- of less than two years -- are useless in. the cases of persistent offenders. The argument is that it is better to have the offender under some means of longer control, with a great- er motive for not committing crime. This can be done in two years. One is to put the offender on probation instead of in prison; he is given not only a chance but a motive for stay- ing within the law. The other is to give the prisoner a long sentence but to give him the opportunity to serve much of it outside prison on parole; in this way he is under control for & long period, with much better pros- pects of rehabilitation. The brief sen- tence puts the offender under only brief control. Hunters On The Prowl The fall hunting season has been under way for more than a week now and no hunter has yet mistaken a human being for a duck or a grouse, which is quite remarkable. Hither this season's early hunters are less trigger-happy or they have better eyesight than those of previous years. But enough incidents have occurred to indicate that many of them are still fairly quick on the trigger and possessed of something less than 20-20 vision. There have been the usual casualties among domestic ducks, chickens, pigeons and barns, and one or two sheep have been nick- ed -- but after all, it takes sharp vision and a lot of woodsy knowledge to separate the sheep from the birds. We should not be complacent about the improvement, however. The deer and moose seasons are yet to come, and it is then that the woods and trails become a major battleground; it is then that the forests tremble under the stealthy tramp of the hawk- eyed steel-nerved hunters who, armed to the teeth and fortified to the gullet, stalk the tall timber ever ready to pour death into a trembling bush or riddle a sudden shadow. Our best wishes go to those hunters who treat their weapons and their hunting grounds with respect. They are probably in the majority but they do not get themselves into the public prints except when they get the blame for the damage done by the gun- toting hoodlums or become the vic- tims of trigger-happy idiots. Shorter Woods Season By the end of September, much of this year's allowable t nber cut in the Pembroke district had been felled and hauled to the mill sites. Accord- ing to J. H. Bingley, of the Lands and Forests Pembroke office, most of the logs will be out of the bush before Christmas. And what is happening in the Pembroke area is undoubtedly happening in other dis ricts. Says Mr. Bingley: "Gravel is gradu- ally taking the place of Jack Frost in haul road maintenance and cuiting and hauling have become almost simultaneous. The shorter season re- duces operating costs and reduces re- petitious maintenance such as cons- tant plowing of haul roads... These summer Jogging operations permit logs to be cut and manufactured in one season instead of maintaining sawlog inventories at the mill some- times for a year before their manu- facture tying up considerable capital So, the horse gives place to the me- chanical skidder, trucks replace sleighs, gravel ousts Jack Frost." Thus production is maintained or increased while costs are reduced. That is productivity. But the shorter season means a shorter period of em- ployment for many bush workers. It can also mean a greater drain on the unemployment insurance fund, which is already in a sorry state. The problem of the seasonal worker be- comes more acute and demands at- tention. October Safety Drive Industrial workers in this area, as well as those in other parts of On- tario, are being urged to be more safety conscious and to use prescribed safety equipment in an effort to re- duce the toll of lives being taken annu- ally in industrial accidents. This annual safety drive during the month of October is one phase of a continued safety program designed and sponsored by the Industrial Acci- dent Prevention Associations.

The IAPA serves 17 different classes of industry which employ more than 800,000 workers. In 1961, a total of 107,253 industrial accidents were reported to the Work- men's Compensation Board of Ontario by all classes of industry. Compensa- tion cases of IAPA classes included 21,393 men and 2,188 women. Over 83,000 of the cases reported were for medical aid only. October has been chosen as Safety Month because statistics prove it is the month which leads all others in the number of industrial mishaps. In this district there is an active Oshawa-Ajax Section of the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations, which is: working energetically to support the province-wide safety campaign.

DON'T ANYBODY SNEEZE REPORT FROM UK Few Voters Know Much About EEC By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- There are well over 25 million people of voting age in the United Kingdom. The are the people who would have to give the decision should there be a general election with Brit- ain's entry into the European Economic Community as_ the major issue. They are the peo- ple who would have the voting power were Prime Minister Macmillan to call for a referen- dum on the subject, unlikely as that may be. From my contacts with peo- ple in all walks of life and of all shades of political opinion, 1 would say that not five per cent QUEEN'S PARK Ontario House's Importance Grows By DON O'HEARN LONDON, England -- Ontario House finally seems to be com- ing into its own. For years this official govern- ment office in London has heen very much of a poor relation. It was revived by George Drew when prime minister and during his tenure was a 'hriv- ing organization. Then for a long time it car- ried on without much attention or recognition from home base. Now, once again it is start- ing to thrive. TIME NOW This is partly because it fi- nally has an aggressive minis- ter with imagination in Hon, Robert Macaulay. And partly because the time and need for Ontario Hoke have arrived as never before. \. Historically immigration was the big story for the province out of London. Mr. Drew's air ~ lift which brought thousands and thous- ands of British immigrants grew out of it. And then it did a valuable job in selling U.K. industries on setting up in the province. The need for these offoris have died down (though selec- tive immigration is still very important). But now there is a bigger and a greater one. We are now looking overseas for trade. If it isn't a matter of survival it is at least one of possible future comfort. And Ontario 'House is the overseas core of the sales ef- fort. NOT IMPORTANT People at home don't seem to realize just yet how important this London centre is to them. More office space is obviously needed at the headquarters on Charles 11 Street. To date the only recogaition of this apparently is the prom- ise of a new paint job. But the recognition obviously is: bound to come eventually-- and probably very soon Our manufacturers and sales managers will be coming over here in increasing volume. And while impressed by the staff--who are eager and oblig- ing men and women--they can hardly be taken with the facili- ties. : As representative of our prov- ince, which we like to think of as important, they do not give an imposing picture. We spend about half a mi'- lion dollars to build a half mite of 401 -- and incidentally. im- press our tourist visitors. We could do'a bit better about our show-case to ail of Europe, BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Mission Board decided to erect a new Sunday Sunday School building on Simcoe street north at Arlington avenue, The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion sent the city council a strong protest against the use of Memorial Park as a playground. A General Motors choir and orchestra were organized and conducted by L. F. Unitt, direc- tor of music in Oshawa's public schools. The Base Line School was closed when half of the pupils were found infected with diptheria. Oshawa Rotary Club planned to erect toboggan slides and provide 20 toboggans at the Rotary Park. The creation. of an industrial area in Oshawa and the ap- pointment of an industrial com- missioner were discussed by the city council: Murray Kohen captured the senior championship and Mac- Kay trophy for the best all- round athlete of the Oshawa Collegiate, while Bert Brown tgok the junior honors. Oshawa's short-term loan of $415,000, which was negotiated by the Oshawa branch of the - Standard Bank, was the larg- est on record here, Over 350 pupils. enrolled at the opening of night classes at the Oshawa Collegiate, 0. M. Alger was appointed local superintendent of the Chil- dren's Aid Society, Oshawa's fire loss totalled $42,827 for seven fires during the first nine months of 1927. A fire at Fittings Limited account- ed for $20,000 of the total. "Stop" signs were erected on 76 streets along King and Sim- coe Streets, Oshawa Home and School Council played host to imem- bers of the Collegiate and pub- lic school teaching staff at an annual reception held in the Collegiate Institute. Mrs. R. §, McLaughlin, president of the Council, was the principa! speaker. Announcement was made of organizing an Oshawa branch of the Canadian Aeronautical Association by Maj,-Gen. J. H MacBrien, head of Aviation in Canada. of the voting public know enough about the European Economic Community and all the implica- tions of Britain's entry to vote intelligently on the subject. During the period of the Prime Ministers' Conference, the newspapers gave blanket coverage to the subject, Some of the reports, however, were so biased and prejudiced as to give little real guidance to pub- lic opinion. And the kind of in- formation which did come out of accurate factual reports was just not what the British public needs to make it understand what entry into the EEC would mean to them and their country, READING DROPS OFF There was a.time, according to booksellers and stationers, when there was a keen public demand for literature dealing with the Common Market and the Treaty of Rome. That de- mand existed at the time when negotiations with the Common Market Six began. But it has long since passed its saturation point, and in spite of the back- ground of the Prime Ministers' meeting, there has been a defin- ite decline in sales in the last month or two. A spokesman for W. H. Smith and Son, the country's largest news-agents and stationers, says that interest in pamphlets on the Common Market has declined and that there has been a decid- ed slowing down in sales. One reason for this, of course, is that there are no so many such pamphlets and booklets on the market that unless one is specially pushed, it creates very little demand, And the W. H. Smith man felt that increased covereage of the subject by the newspapers and television has ruined the market for specialize literature on the Common Mar- et. EXCEPTIONS TO RULE There are, I have found, a few exceptions to this rule. Spe- cialized booksellers report that serious volumes on the Common Market are still selling fairly OTTAWA REPORT Rules Important To New Speaker Sy PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The new Speaker of the House of Commons, Hon. Marcel Lambert, evidently be- lieves that rulés are intended to be obeyed, He obviously intends to insist that all MPs should submit to the discipline of the rules of procedure, which were designed for the efficient dis- posal of the business of the na- tion. This tough but brilliant French-Canadian from Alberta surprised the new House, by himself making the first contri- bution to its regular business. Rising to his feet, in a short but sharp homily he dréw the atten- governing ques- to ministers by standing orders tions addressed the members. This was very apt, beca during our last Parliament, wens reg hin 1962, = pe- was allowed to by very many Le Lage should not have been asked. So much time was added to the daily question period that this addition above the normal was calculated to absorb the equiva- lent of one whole month of regu- lar sitting hours during @ nor- mal six-month séssion.

MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: In one of your answers in connection with cancer, you stated in part of your answers and I quote'. . . or even people cured of cancer. "T had been under the impres- sion that there is no cure for cancer, I hope I am We Will you kindly explain?--MRS. C8.' Yes, you are wrong, I'm glad to say. And no doubt there are millions of people who think as you do--despite the efforts of cancer groups and societies to inform the public on the sub- ject. We still don't know exactly what causes cancer. Chronic ir- ritation, as from certain chem- icals, can in time cause can- cer. This we know from experi- ments with animals, as well as from the first such type of thing ever recognized scientifically-- that after years of work, chim- ney sweeps were likely to de- velop cancer of the scrotum, traced eventually to exposure to the chimney dust in which they. worked. Not all got can- ctr, but a high percentage did. We know that heredity has something to do with it. The well, but mostly to students. This is particularly true of "'The Co- mon Market' by Stuart de la Mahotiere and Sir Arthur Bry- ant's "A Choice for Destiny'. Officials at the Conservative Political Centre bookshop, how- ever, report that business in these publications is quite good. PUBLIC APATHY A fairly good-guide to the pub- lic apathy on the subject, how- ever, is found in the experience of H. M. Stationery Office. Its English version, of which 10,- 000 copies were printed in the early part of the year, has so far had a sale of only 2700 cop- ies. This sale is less than a third of a private edition's sales several months previously -- an edition which contained several inaccuracies in translation. The cost of production for the H. M. Stationery Office version of the treaty are not yet avail- able. But as the stationery of- fice reckons to at least break - even on its publishing business, there is a substantial leeway: to make up if the Treaty of Rome book is not to lose money. And behind it all is the fact that there are mighty few of the over 25 million voters of Brit- ain who are interested enough to want to read it. laboratories breed strains of mice which consistently develop cancer, or get it very easily. We strongly suspect that in at least some cases viruses have a connection, but we have not beén able to show exactly how. We do know what happens when, from whatever reason or combination of reasons, cancer starts. The normal cells of the body, first at some microscopic area, stop replacing themselves normally. Instead the cells di- vide and divide and divide, re- producing at a tremendous rate, with the cells being abnormal, If we can remove this "'col- ony" of cancerous, or improp- erly dividing cells, soon enough, that's the end of the cancer. It is cured. If we don't catch it soon enough then the cancerous trick of faulty division spreads endlessly. Then nothing can be done. As a rather poor simile, com- pare it to crab grass that gets started in a lawn. If.we can de- tect it soon enough, and pull out all the tufts before it has gone to seed, the lawn is safe, If we miss some of the crab grass, and it goes to seed, then next season there is more of it. And, eventually, the crab grass takes over entirely, and there's little to do except- plow up the whole lawn and start over. It is about like that with can- cer. Stop it in the beginning, and do a complete job, and the cancer is cured. Ignore it a little while, and it has gone beyond cure. Right now, about one in three of all cancer cases is being cured. Cancer of the skin, which can be seen, can almost always be cured if treated right away --treatment is surgery and-or X-ray. Cancer of the cervix, throat, colon and a number of other "internal organs" which _ till can be inspected one way and another, can be cured if eariy symptoms are observed and not ignored. Cancer in some interior parts of the body that cannot be ex- amined as successfully is more dangerous. It gets too much start before symptoms are ap- parent. But we do cure, as I said, a third of all cases, and couid in- crease the percentage if people were more suspicious of the symptoms, and consulted their doctors sooner. the rules without being up by the then Speaker, of his intention to i This creates the informal aoe period" at ) ae.

Although it was the first day, with five months backlog of material and a sur- feit of publicity available, there were only 20 questions and nine supplementary questions, and the time consumed was down to normal--say 40 minutes. Three timés the Speaker ad. monished an MP for overstep- ping the rules. But the ministers quickly recognized that their full co - operation with the Speaker is essential to uphold the fules; so six Liberal ques- tions', five NDP questions and one Socred question all prompted the minister te whom they were addressed either to ignore them--as he is entitled to do if the question is irregular --or to administer a mild re- buke. For example, Hon. How- ard Green good-naturedly and properly retorted once: "Mr. Speaker, the hon. member (Mr. Lionel Chevrier), as a former minister of transport, should have asked a much more sensi- ble question than that." Speaker Lambert would de- serve the support of the House if he also enforces another rule recently more honoured in the breach, which is that members should deliver a speech, and not read a pre-composed essay. ° These two rule enforcements could together eliminate the drag and restore the elan in the recently tedious proceedings of our House.
