he Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST: 10, 1963--PAGE 6 Juries Are Only Human But So Is The Coroner Attorney-General Cass is fully justified in ordering an investiga- tion into the inquest in Sudbury which examined the death of a miner buried under tons of rock. The Sudbury coroner refused to call a jury because, he said, they some- times return "with stupid verdicts." Juries are made up of people and people can be stupid; it follows that juries -- in inquests as in criminal or civil actions -- can bring in stupid verdicts, But coroners are also human, and they too can be stupid. This self-evident fact is demonstrated by the comments of the Sudbury coroner and, judging by the press reporters, by opinions expressed in the course of the hear- ing. Dr. Morton Shulman, Metro Tor- onto's chief coroner, may have been exaggerating a little when he said that he had attended several hun- dred inquests "and have yet to see a stupid verdict -- they have been good ones in every case." But he was on sound ground when he ob- served that the jury system is the cornerstone of the whole coroner's system. One person, whether he is a coroner or not, can too easily be influenced by one side or the other -- "that's why we have five men on a jury." One must agree with him, too, when he says that if a jury brings in a stupid verdict, at least part of the blame must rest with the coroner, whose responsibility it is to see that the evidence is presented fully and fairly to the jury. The Sudbury coroner is entitled to his opinion, but he is not entitled to force that opinion on others through arbitrary assumption of authority. He can try to persuade others that his opinion is correct, but when he arrogantly assumes that he is the of all wisdom, he must also be prepared to face the inevitable charge that he acted as he did for some other reason than the alleged stupidity of juries. And that, presumably, is why Mr, Cass has ordered an investigation. font A Logical Appointment When M. J. Coldwell retired. as national leader of the CCF, this newspaper -- and many others -- suggested that he be appointed to the Senate. Nothing happened then, but lately there has been renewed talk about such an appointment, and the reasons which were valid then carry just as much force now, Senator J. W. de B. Farris of British Columbia put it neatly when he said: "He (Mr. Coldwell) is a man who, if he were a member of this House, would give his un- divided and conscientious time and thought to the welfare of the country as he saw it." Any list of outstanding Canadian parliamentarians or public figures of the past several decades would have to include the name of M. J. Coldwell. Even his political enemies freely and ungrudgingly acknow- ledge his unswerving devotion to his country and its people. They might disagree with his political philosophy but could never question his sincerity or the remarkable depth of his intellect: While his convictions have been strong, he has never been narrowly partisan in debate. The late Mackenzie King. had a great respect for Mr, Coldwell and persistently tried to get him to join the Liberals. Mr. Coldwell remained with his party, even though it was obvious that he would have step- ped into a cabinet had he switched. But while he did not get Mr. Coldwell, Mr. King took many of Mr, Coldwell's ideas, so that even though he spent all his parliamen- tary years in opposition, Mr. Cold- well and his party managed to exert a strong influence on the direction of government legislation. For these reasons alone, "Mr. Coldwell deserves appointment. to the Senate. He has fully earned some recognition for his long career of public service. But there is still another reason: The Senate should not be considered as an exclusive club for Liberals and Conservatives, The time is ripe for more non- partisan appointments. post Probing Unemployment takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place, If you At their recent gathering, the provincial premiers expressed con- cern about unemployment but they did not offer the federal govern- ment any. really constructive ideas about the way the problem should be tackled. They did not even start with the fundamental question, what does unemployment j of? But this, surely, is the start- ing point. Canada, like the United States, has more people at work than ever before, but a large area of chronic unemployment persists despite re- lative prosperity. In the United States, for example, addition of a million jobs in little more than a year was still not quite enough to keep up with the increase of the labor' force.

Stories of two 'WE REWROTE THE RULES A LITTLE' WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Kingston Whig-Standard; Con- sumers everywhere will, of course, greet every decrease in the price of sugar with enthusi- asm, Probably very few of them will ever bother to ask them- selves why there has been such a fantastic fluctuation mm prices over the past few months The retail price is still higher than what is considered its nor- mal level, but it is possible that t will soon be at or near the old price. There was another 55- cent reduction in the price of a 100-pound bag at the refinery level the other day; the third drop ifi one week. Sugar prices have now changed 53 times this year -- 38 increases and 15 de- creases -- and could have changed again before this edi- tion of the newspaper has been received, The price reached its highest leve! since 1920 last May 23, when it rose to $17.65 for 100 pounds. Last Friday the price was $12.75 The increases were said to have been caused by a world: wide shortage of sugar. The equ sudden decreases should indicate that this was not the cause at all. Is it not obvious that manipulators in the world Sugar market rigged the whole business. -- and probably made millions in the process?

If the heir to the title wishes to assume it again after the death of the holder who has re!nquish. ed it, it will be legally possible for him to do so, So in the next generation, it will be quite pos: sible for the names of Viscount Stansgate and the Earl of Sand: wich to appear on the roll of the House of Lords, _Lord- Altrincham, a Conserva- tive peer who has won some notoriety by past attacks on the royal family, has also intimated that he intends to give up his title and revert to his former name of John Grigg.

Most people don't understand money because they don't keep it long enough to become ac. quainted with it, The reason there are quite a few sorry women drivers is that their husbands taught them to drive The person who snoots status seekers unwittingly reveals that he is so egotistical he doesn't fee! the need to resort to status symbols to bolster this egotism. GALLUP POLL discussions on nuclear armay ments and general disarmament is accepted as a definite indivas tion that there has been a change of wind in Moscow, and that full advantage must be taken' of this to press forward towards other steps to relieve and remove international ten sions, The nuclear test ban agrees ment came at a crucial moment for Prime Minister Macmillan, The crowning glory of 'his career now woukl be a summit meeting between the heads af these three governments, to carry even further the steps necessary to ensure lasting peace on a basis of mutual agreement. This agreoment has put an end, for the time being at least, to all the demands from within his own party that Mr, Mac, millan should resign, His preg tige throughout the country has risen significantly, and in one of the public opinion polls, he has regained all of the support: he lost over the Profumo affair and other spy revelations. Tt is conceded that if there is to be a summit meeting, then Mr, Macmillan is the man to represent the United Kingdom, And the ovation he received from the whole body of Tory MP's when he announced the Moscow agreement in the House of Commons was concrete evis dence that he is the man who can best lead Britain in further moves towards disarmament and possible new agreements with Russia, CUNARD GOING HEAD In spite of the refusal of the government to make a direct contribution to the building of a mew "Queen" liner by the Cunard Company, the company intends to go ahead with the project, When Mr. Marples an- nounced that the application from the Cunard Company for a joan of $54 million to help build the Q4 had been rejected, he left a wide loophole open, He announced that the govern: men's loan fund for shipbuild, ing had been doubled, fram $90 million to $180 million, He sug. gested that the Cunard Com. pany could take advantage of this credit scheme for the build: ing of ships The Cunard Company quick to take the hint, At its annual meeting, ils. chairman, Sir John Brocklebank, said that application has already been made for a loan from this fund and he is hopeful that it will be granted, In any event, he said, that if this loan was granted, tenders would be called for the buildng of the Q4, a vessel of between 59,000 and 60,000 tons, with accommodation for 550 first-class and 1,500 cabin or tourist passengers. This news has been joyfully received on the Clyde and on Tyneside, as the order is likely to goa to one of these two ship. building areas, both of which are suffering from heavy unem. ployment in the shipbuilding in- dustry. was Declining Belief Seen In Need For U.S. Funds By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION .
