Fo. She Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1963-----PAGE 6 Penitentiary Building Not Full Penal Answer government has announced idey } it will spend $30 million on the building of four penitentiaries. These should not only relieve over- crowding in the present institutiogs, but should permit a better gebup- ing of prisoners, so that hardened criminals are not cell-mates or prison-mates of first offenders. The taser royal commis- ome strong criticism of (Can penitentiaries 25, years ago, ahd--fiot much has been done about the buildings | themselves since that time. The commission re- ported that 400 of St. Vincent. de Paul's cells "should be condemned without qualification." It was not until early this month, however, that a "crash" building program wi arted to provide room for the separation of dangerous and chopathic prisoners from the ' yest of the inmates. In the mean- time, there has been riot after bloody riot at the infamous Mont- real penitentiary; in the past three years alone there have been three riots, on Dec. 12, 1960, Aug. 19, 1961, and June 17, 1962, and there was the deadly "hostage" incident of just a few weeks ago. The building of new peniten- tiaries, however, is no solution to the penal problem in Canada. We put so many people in prison that we may well find that by the time the four new penitentiaries are built, staffed and in operation, we will still have over-crowding to con- tend with. Our provisions for sus- pended sentences 'and paroles are inadequate, which may help to ex- plain the liking of so many of pur dispensers of justice for jail terms as punishment. We still suffer from what might be called a frontier philosophy of punishment, espe- jally_in cases involving property rights. A starving man steals a few cents from a milk bottle? Off to jail with him. At the same time, we probably do not deal harshly enough with our hardened criminals. We should probably be better off with fewer and longer prison sentences. Presidents Don't Cheer The proposal for 12-month opera- tion of universities and colleges, discussed in these columns last week, was favorably mentioned this week by Premier John Robarts during a speech at the convocation of Laurentian University in Sud- bury. He said: "A trimester plan of operations would seem reasonable since the fullest utilization of present facili- ties is of the utmost importance." This plan provides three college terms each year of four months and permits increases in enrolment up to 80 per cent. Officials of Ontario universities, questioned about the idea, did not exactly cheer. "Our attitude has not been one of joyous welcome, but rather one of critical acceptance," said Dr. Claude T. Bissell, presi- dent of the University of Toronto, which has been considering implica- tions of the extension 'of the tra- ditional seven-month school year. Dr. G. E. Hall, president of the University of Western Ontario, said that "by one definition, we already Libra "this week unanimously adopted a "declaration of intellectual freedom and resistance to attempts to cur- tali*freedom of reading" -- to quote: the news report. The declaration, presented by the committee on in- tellectual freedom, said: Library service is based on the eitizen's ri ts vatgorapede for him- self on questidns of politics, reli- gion and morality; libraries should resist attempts by individuals or groups to have any material re- moved from circulation; library selections should not be unduly in- fluenced by personal opinions of the book selectors; a writer has the freedom to ict what is ugly, shocking and unedjfying if it is done with a serious purpose. With all of that we agree whole- heartedly. After some experience with , libraries and librarians in various parts of the province, how- Fhe Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Eugene C. LeBel, presi- dent of Windsor's Assumption Uni- versity, said a 12-month program might work hardships on students who work during tte~summer months to finance their education. Their caution is understandable. Extension of the school year will mean a massive administrative job and substantial expansion of staff-- and there is no surplus of teachers, particularly those of university calibre. On the other hand, expan- sion of the physical plant of univer- sities to meet the greatly increased student demand of the next few years is an even more massive job. It means that the best possible use must be made of the facilities avail. able. Worry about possible hard- ships on hard-up students is un- necessary; the three-semester plan gives students the same time to earn money at outside jobs as they have now. K an Declaration ever, we may be permitted to sug- at it 'still many places the librarians have the 'prickly task of converting some of the.members of their library boards. We recall one town where the lib- rarian was a self-appointed censor, and another where a board membe assumed the same task; they o rated in curiously similar ways, excising words, sentences. and pass- thought offensive removing whole Bobbsey 'Twins, We hope that such towns are better served, and that librarian)' all across the provinée can put t flesh of action on the bones of their declaration. They will, believe, have the support of m of their patrons; not all, unfortu nately, because there will always be little groups of would-be censors, who always fear for the morals of other people. Where such pressures exist, it would probably be for the best if they were fully publicized. The librarians and the library boards could be surprised by the support they'd get.

MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) - Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- If a report just issued of a survey of the future of the famous Covent Garden fruit and vegetable market in the heart of London is adopted, that historic market will cease to exist at its present cramped location. Commissioned by the Covent Garden Market Author- ity to make the survey, the Fan- tus Company International Di- vision of London and Brussels has recommended that the pre- sent site of the market be aban- doned, and that it be re-sited at Beckton Road, East Ham, im- mediately north of the Royal Albert Dock. This was consider- ed to be the most suitable of five alternative sites were. examined. The total estimated savings which would result from mov- ing the market from Covent Garden to the new site would amount to around $9,000,000 a year, says the Teport. GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Beckton Road site of 100 acres, the report says it is the-only one capable of being developed so as to achieve the improved efficiency and low- cost facilities which should be the objective of a new market. This location for the new market would present substan- tial advantages to growers in East Anglia and both north and south of the Thames. It would eliminate the cost involved in carting produce from the docks to the present market just north of the Strand and east of Tra- fagar Square. Taking produce from a market at the new site to the industrial areas of the Midlands and the north would be quicker along new routes planned to and from the docks. The report is strongly critical of the present location of the the docks in Fontan Ta to the present market was about $1,320,000 a yea which ° The physical structure of the present market, the report con- tinues, makes the use of modern mechanical handling equipment impossible except on a rudimen- tary scale. In a properly laid-out market, the cost of handling produce could be reduced by about $2,250,000 a year. Other costs could be cut by more than $1,500,000 in a well-sited modern market, QUEEN'S PARK Tobacco Gro The approximate cost of the Beckton Road market' scheme, luding the ry railway works, is put at $48,000,000. Four other sites were inspected and rejected. One of the reasons for their rejection was the high cost of market development schmes there. These were given as follows: At Seven Dials, $154.5 million; St. Nine Elms, $132 million; at King's Cross, $113,250,000; at Wood Lane, $109.5 milion. The turnover in the present market amounts to about $185 million a year. To put the recommendations of the report into effect would require the consideration of parliament, Any Cdecjsion to move the market outside its present Covent Garden area would need new legislation, Face Court Test By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Ontario's most significant political question of today is, coming to a head. The provincial tobacco mar- keting legislation'is being taken to the courts. The 10 independent tobacco growers who have rebelled against. the legislation for the last. few years are appealing the decision of the Tobacco Growers Board in refusing them licences. And so the authority of gov- ernment to control acreage-- and now to destroy crops--is finally to be challenged. Win or lose, no matter what the final outcome of the appeal (it is expected to land in the Supreme Court of Canaaa eventually), as citizens of the province we should all be grate- ful. is TO BE EXAMINED For. at least this legislation which passed through the legis- lature without anything like the searching examination it should have received now will be un- der a critical spotlight. At time of writing the grounds of appeal have not been set. The solicitor for the inde- pendents, Mendel Green of Tor- onto, probably will take it on a number of points.

But so far as you and I are concerned the most significant point will be a submission-- which will undoubtedly be made --that the government's legisla- tion and the actions of the board infringe section II of the federal Bill of Rights. This is the section which guar- antees enjoyment of property. LIMITS RIGHTS The basic question underlying the tobacco controversy is how far government can go in limit- ing the individual rights of citi- zens. Or, put in another way, how far, for the economic protection of a section of the community, can it go in limiting the tradi- tional rights of the whole com- munity, For this legislation is frankly a protection for the to- bac industry and un- questionably limits the freedom of enterprise which has been a aaa right in our way of e \Personally the observer has the One hope that the case can be decided this point, and that the Il not be technical findings on which the courts will base their findings.

OTTAWA REPORT Significance Seen In NATO Meeting By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The North Atlan- tic Treaty Organization is 14 years old, In that time, it' has held its meeting of ministers twice in Ottawa. Each of those Ottawa confer- ences has marked 4 decisive turning point in the history of NATO. In September, 1951, the Ot- tawa meeting comprised, for the first time, not only the foreign ministers but also the finance ministers and the defence min- isters of the member countries. This marked formal tion that the costly defence by the alliance was creating finan- cial and economic problems such as inflation, imbalance of YOUR HEALTH international payments and bar- riers to a freer flow of trade. 'To study these rising difficul- 'ties, and to propose solutions, the ministers set up a commit- tee of five, whose report stressed the need for active measures to implement the Ca- nadian Clause in the treaty; this is the famous Article II which binds the member countries to co-operate in the economic, po- litical, social cultural and infor- mation fields as well as in de- fence, That 1951 Ottawa meeting also recognized that NATO must be more than a club of rich white Western nations, which could so easily be misunder- stood by the less favored na- Staph Germs Wait For Sneak Attack By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My daugh- ter had a carbuncle on her chin, and then three or four boils at a time. She went to one doctor for several months. The boils broke out worse than ever. She has been to another doctor for six months and she has now gotten rid of the boils. : You once described this as a staph infection (which the first doctor said it was). What is the treatment? And will she get boils again from her clothing? . --Mrs. R.C. The staphylococcus (or "staph"') germ comes to us, not like an invading army, but like a swarm of snéak thieves. It doesn't sweep into sudden epi- demics like flu. It just hangs around all the time, waiting for a chance to cause trouble. It has the contrary ability.of developing resistance to some of the antibiotic drugs which are so helpful with other germs. Some of the drugs re- tain their powers better than others, and some strains of the have more resistance to e drugs. Perhaps we could compare staph germ to rats. Civilization readily conquers wolves an? ti- gers and such dangerous beasts, but rats sneak under our guard and flourish almost under our noses, So with the staph germ--in fact, our noses are a common breeding place for this pest. Whether your daughter gained anything by changing doctors is doubtful. Maybe the first one started the job--and the other one just carried on the battle. But that's neither here nor there. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 31, 1963... A state of emergency was declared in British Colum- bia 15 years ago today--in 1948 --as troops were mo- bilized to help when the Fraser River flooded, sweeping through dikes and leaving 2,400 families home- less. When the floods finally subsided, some $17,600,000 worth of damage had been done, more than 3,000 homes and barns were damaged and many broken from their foundations, 37,000 acres had been flooded, 18,000 acres damaged by seepage and more than 100 bridges were washed out or damaged. Cost of rehabilitating ousted families and ruined land was estimated at $25,000,- 000 to $30,000,000. - 1961 -- South Africa form- ally became a republic." 1669 --Samuel Pepys ended his diary.

Four Seasons Travel 24-Hour Service -- 728-6201 The point is that the staph germ is all around us all the time. Some of us have very good resistance to it. Some don't. Some people are "staph carriers,"" who may give the germ to others but not suffer from it themselves. Others may infect themselves bsg time to time. The staph germ can be very virulent, and hospitals. (nurser- ies especially) are constantly on guard against it. Occasionally it gets into the bloodstream and blood ing. It can 'be deadly. But more often it causes boils and other skin in- fections. Boils and the like can leave sear tissue afterward, and sore- igs-ef boils starts, used (to suit a pa cu! of germ) but this is a compli- cated task. As to reinfection from cloth- ing, no.

CREATING PARTNERSHIP ilarly significant milestone, al- though 'he true significance was not made clear 2 the innoc- uous wording of the ministers' "final communique." The enormous disparity in strength and wealth between the United States of America and other members of the North At- lantic Alliance, of course, led to that country bearing the greatest share of the onerous | defence burden, But the conse- quence, which was not wel- comed by allies who are equal in status if not in stature, was that the predominant ally -- tended more and more first to * Jead, then to dictate, and finally © to go it alone. was @ re- ther 'un- justified feeling that NATO had " deteriorated from an alliance - into a constellation of one super- state attended by a cluster of * little satellites.
