Senator O'Leary said the people who lied before the June ~ 8 election last year, and who called John Diefenbaker a liar when he promised prosperity "= are not to be trusted. "The Liberals had to tunble the : facts > caught up with them." He told the electorate that unemployment must be faced honestly and frankly.

Yet this is the same man who was stabbed in the back by Lester Pearson who called Mr. Diefenbaker "'anti- British" when he was seeking in England to safeguard Canadian rights. "We have been stabbed also by our own Progressive Con- servative press. But let us not be dictated to by wealthy news- paper barons in the city of Toronto. When Sir John A. MacDonald established the party it was to be a party for all God's children in the land--|RCMP not one of wealth, society, pres- tige and naked power." NEWSWEEK ARTICLE The speaker referred to a re- cent attack by Newsweek. "In my half-century in jour- nalism, I never saw a more scurrilous attack on a man than in Newsweek. And who owns that magazine? Recently it was acquired by Phillip Graham, close friend of the President of school boards. The reduced tax levy upon the County of Ontario was also taken into account when striking mill rates and budget for 1963. Magistrate C. W.

But I draw no conclusions from that, for every day I thank God for such good neighbors."' He urged: "Let us not allow afew Pentagon officials to push us around, for if they manage to do so, they will cease to be our friends." : Rehab Program Only Beginning Canada has much to learn about rehabilitation, delegates) to the Rehabilitation Conference of the Ontario County Rehabili- tation Council were told Wed- nesday. Ian Campbell, national co-| ordinator of civilian rehabilita- titn, said, compared with some other countries, Canada has only made a good beginning with its rehabilitation programs. "Our government and volun- services are not yet co- ited as a smoothly work- arrangement," he said, "that avoids the dissipation of their combined strength ae available resources in the best manner possible." NEED SKILLED PERSONNEL He said it is difficult for handi- capped persons to get treatment . and education. We are woefully short of skilled personnel and have not in our hospitals and treatment services the means of assuring rehabilitation for those with permanent disabilities. * In Canada, he said, there are approximately 1,245,000 people with some degree of permanent disability. About half of these are severely or totally disabled, and again half of these are in the 16-65 age bracket. By the end of the 1958-59 fis- eal year, Mr. Campbell quoted government report, financial e aid to disabled persons amount- ed to $217,000,000 annually. He said the total number of led persons could be re-| ed if adequate restorative) earvices available. Said Mr. Campbell: FIGURES LACKING "It is not yet possible to com- pile comprehensive figures for Canada. We have, however, facts relating to 9,000 of those who, through rehabilitation ser- vices have retumed to gainful employment over the past 4% years. This group had some 7,000 dependents. Together the annual cost of their maintenance] to public assistance and rela- tives was approximately 5% mil- lion dollars -- new the group earns collectively 16 million dol- lars a year. "Over the period covered, sav- ings to relatives and public as- sistance total $23,000,000 and total earnings of the group amount is Laguces'. 4 Money is not spent on rehabilitation, it is invested to produce vast divi- dends in happiness and earnings for the individual and the Na- in." Mr. Campbell pointed. out there has been much progress in Canada. He mentioned the Workmen's Compensation sys- tem, services for disabled vet- erans, the Vocational Rehabilita- tion of the Disabled Persons Act, to make rehabilitation more widely available, the sys- tem of Health Grants, and the Special Placement Division of the National Employment Serv-| ice. | BASIC PRINCIPLES "When we approach the prob-/ lem of the handicapped, we must accept certain basic prin- ciples. The first, of course, is that all individuals must, as far as possible, have equal oppor- tunity to use their talents and abilities to make some contribu- ticn to the society in which they live. We all need to be. loved, to be wanted and to be useful. "Society itself can be judged by the compassion which it shows towards its weaker mem- bers. This compassion, however, must be exercised with a full appreciation of the needs and the dignity of the recipient. Charity, while often necessary, does not in itself meet the in- dividual's basic needs. Wherever possible, he must be enabled to rise above his misfortune to look after his own needs and the needs of his family," Mr. Campbell said. In some European countries, the speaker said, there seems to be F idyyee general acceptance of the principles of rehabilita- tion. The facilities in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, work- shops and schools are well- equipped and lavishly staffed. GREASE FIRE The Oshawa Fire Department was called to a fire late Wed- nesday morning when grease on a stove caught fire at 51 Aber- deen street. Only other alarm up to 10 a.m, today was a false alarm shortly after noon Wed- nesday. Ambulance calls for the period from 8 a.m. Wednesday to 8 a.m. today totalled four.

Donald Howe was appointed The Oshawa Board of the emergency aid grocery SPEAKER SAYS In Canada people are still be- ing sent to jail for being poor, Rev. Daniel Coughlin, Ontario's director of probation services, charged Wednesday. He called Canada's penal system outdated and outmoded. Speaking at the Rehabilitation Conference of the Ontario Coun- ty Rehabilitst'on Council in Hotel Genosha, Mr. Coughlin es- timated 30,000 people do 30-day jail terms every year because they can't pay the alternative $50 fine. "What good does 30 days in prison do to anyone?" he wondered. In Denmark, he said, they did away with sending people to jail because they are poor, as they still do in Canada, in 1867, the year of confederation in Canada. In. Ontario alone, he said, there are more people in jail at any time than in England and Wales together. Sixty per- cent of these, he said, are in jail for 90 days or less. Obvious- ly these people are not danger- ous, and should be rehabilitated lin their community. Mr. Coughlin has been in pro- bation work since 1945. He was representative to attend the Emergency Measures Organiza- tion, March 14 and 17. The group presented E. J.

Apart from Mont- real, he said, there is no univer. sity anywhere in Canada that has a department of crimino- logy. "When there is no knowledge everyone becomes an expert," he said, "When we have the intestinal fortitude to realize we know nothing at all about criminals and juvenile delinquents, that fs where wisdom will begin." "We still live with the uncon- scious hypocrisy of thinking when. a man has served his term, he has served his deht to society," Mr. Coughlan said. "The day be walks out of the prison gates, that is the day he starts to pay his 'debt to society."" NEVER ON RIGHT TRACK He said rehabilitation in -the criminal field is a misnomer, It presupposes someone has goné off the track. But experience shows most criminals have never been on the right track. "We used to think we could fix people with harsh punish- ment," he said, pointing out the tion of his many years of loyal service with Red Cross. harsher you treat them the harsher they will fight back.
