1 She Oshawa Times oar een es Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St, E., Oshawa,:Ontario @. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1964--PAGE 6 Did Government Check Police Amendment Act? The immediate storm of protest over the Police Amendment Act introduced in the Ontario Legisla- ture Thursday by Attorney-General. Cass forced Premier Robarts to make a hurried statement -- just how hurried could be judged by the fractured syntax and jumbled thought, What emerges out of the confusion, however, is the virtual withdrawal of the legislation "for . further consideration". Mr. Robarts said on Friday: "I personally would not tolerate any legislation which infringes upon or jeopardizes the basic, fundamental rights and freedoms of the indivi- duals of this province, and I also told the press that this legislation if it does jeopardize or infringe these rights, then it will be changed. Before any further action, I can assure the House, is taken on this bill, it will be completely re-exam- ined in the light of what I have just said." That is all very well. But surely Attorney-General Cass did not pre- pare and present this horrid piece of legislation without first discus- sing it with his leader and his cabinet colleagues. Yet Mr. Robarts spoke on Friday as if he had not examined the Police Amendment Act. And was no. member of the cabinet able to perceive the out- rageous powers which were to be conferred on the Ontario Police Commission ? One. must conclude that Mr. Ro- barts and the cabinet either did not care that an attempt was to be made' to give the Ontario Police Commission police-state powers or they did not bother to examine the legislation prepared by Mr. Cass. In the former event, the Robarts government stands indicted of gross disregard of the fundamental rights of Ontario citizens; in the latter, they stand indicted of gross negli- gence. In either event, the govern- ment's intentions must now be scru- tinized with the utmost suspicion, Problems Of Freedom Saul Hays, executive vice-presi- dent of the Canadian Jewish Con- gress said, that "the traditional argument of free speech is not enough" to justify allowing race- hate propaganda to the published with impunity. That is true. But there are difficulties, as the Ottawa Journal points out in the following thoroughtful comment: The much-misunderstood prin- ciples of freedom of speech and freedom of the press do not absolve a man from responsibility for what he has said or published. They give a man right to hire a hall, mount a soap-box or publish a pamphlet without asking anyone's permission. They give him the freedom to say what he pleases. But they do not give him any right to escape prose- cution if what he pleases to say is libelous, slanderous, seditious or treasonable. It is no violation of freedom of speech to send a man to jail for abusing freedom of speech. That much is simple. The difficulty is in deciding what is to be counted abuse... What of the laws against libel and slander? They apply only to attacks on individuals. There is 'no law against attacking a race or a faith or any other human grotp- ing, as long as no particular indivi- dual is singled out. It is clear that any new law on the subject can be nothing so simple as a ban on attacking any grouping. For that would rule out much of what passes for political debate in the country. The problem will be to find a workable legal definition of the sort of attack that is to be prohibited, This will be difficult, but it should not. be impossible. And al- though it may be said that we can- not rid ourselves of barbaric atti- tudes by passing laws, that is no argument against making acts of barbarism illegal. Screening Of Arrivals A pertinent question is suggested in the Ontario Police Commission's report on crime in the province. It is, in effect: How did recent im- migrants of undesirable character, and their relatives, come to be allowed into Canada? The report specifically mentions the counties of Essex, Wentworth and York as being the locale of these undesirables, and says: "Our provincial agencies wonder under what proper circumstances such potential trouble-makers could have obtained the right to live here. Surely the department responsible for policy in this matter owes some duty of informing and reassuring the public and those whose problem it becomes in this regard." It mentions the campaign against the Mafia and adds: "'It is essential that we in Canada be equally care- ful (along with the United States) to see that those with criminal back- groveds or associations are not per- mitted to enter this country ...

Immigration, of course, is not controlled by Ontario. It is a federal matter, and the federal minister in charge of that department should be prepared to give stronger assur- ances than mere comforting words that the department's screening is effective. The weakness probably lies in the checking of arrivals from the United States rather than: of those from Europe. The United States is the great breeder of the Cosa Nostra syndicates, and it is from the United States that the major menace of a Cosa Nostra in- vasion of this province comes. Ontario's responsibility in this matter is to make sure that there is effective liaison between provin- cial Jaw enforcement agencies and the federa] authority.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The invention sf a London photographic firm has given Somerset House in Lon- don, the repository of the rec- ords of births, deaths and mar- riages in England and Wales for the past 130 years, a further lease. on life Already in Somerset House are records of some 250 million births, deaths and marriages. Each year brings over a mil- lion new entries. So this mas- sive . building on the Strand would, it has been estimated, have been filled to overflowing with giant, leather-covered books containing these vital statistics entries within seven years. A full-time staff of 10 bookbinders is steadily employ- ed binding local registrars' rec- ords into the national archives. Requests for copies of certifi+ cates of births, deaths and mar- riages involve the shifting of 150 tons of ledgers a day. It is man's work; few women could stand up to the physical energy used up in the search. depart- ment. NEW INVENTION An effort was. made to use microfilm methods to store the records, but the standard British and American. microfilm ma chines were not suitable for the purposes of Somerset House. Then Keith Lithgow, man- aging director of a small photo- graphic firm in Holborn had an idea, and his technicians worked it out. They produced a box of valves and wires about the size of an old-fashioned table TV set. This gadget can select a micro- photograph of the certificate re- quired simply by dialing a few numbers on the box's control board. The pages of Somerset House ledgers going back for 130 years . Will be photographed on spcois of film, each. containing 6,900 certificates -- the equivalent of a heavy ledger, but weighing only a few ounces and taking up a small fraction of the spare. This machine will pick out any certificate anywhere on the spool once its reference number had 'been dialled. SAVING OF LABOR The public will see no change at all. Solicitors' clerks and others will still have to search' among the index ledgers tor the reference number of the certifi- cate required. But the finding and copying of it will be done YOUR HEALTH heavy for quickly and _ without labor. The waiting time copies will be cut down. The first machine has just been installed at Somerset House. It will deal, on an exper- imental basis, with requests for one particular year's: records. If it is successful, it wili take about 20 years to catch up with filming-all the records of the past 130 years. But the ceduc- tion in storage space will make Somerset House usable tor an- other century. At present, about nine miles of shelving are ir use for the gt@ring of ledgers. Said Mr. Lithgow: "America leads in the micro- film' world, but we are showing that we can improve on things over here. It is easy to micro- film documents, but difficult to retrieve the information quickly and cheaply when yon have filmed it. That is the problem which we have solved, and the solution will be invaiuable to Somerset House." Stress Emphysema No Trivial Matter By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I think you discussed emphysema once be- fore but I wasn't interested in the subject then. My husband is bothered with it now. He won't see a doctor. He considers it unimportant. Please discuss symptoms, causes and cure.--Mrs, E.M.H. I've written: about emphy- sema (pronounced em-fi-SEE- ma) quite frequently with the feeling that sooner or later a great many people will, like you realize that it is not a trival problem. .The disease is so pre- valent that it. causes more deaths than tuberculosis and lung cancer combined, It cer- e<inly is not, as your husband thinks, "unimportant." Emphysema is' a. lung dis- ease, and there is no cure for it. Nevertheless, proper care can prevent it from becoming steadily worse. Symptoms begin with short- BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO March 23, 1949 John H.

There are also x-ray and respiration tests. In brief, the tiny air sacs in the lungs gradually break down. The patient cannot exhale as much carbon dioxide and con- sequently cannot inhale as much fresh air. Likewise the ac ive surfaces of the . lungs, where the transfer of oxygen from the air to. the blood takes place are decreased. Various drugs may be pre- scribed and also special breath- ing exercises, sometimes with the use of an abdominal binder. It is urgent that the patient stop smoking, because every bit. of smoke he inhales means that much less oxygen. And ox- ygen is what he needs. There- fore oxygen sometimes is used in treatment. Some cases will benefit from surgery. In all, there are 10 things listed in the booklet that will help control emnhysema and keep it from getting worse, along with a fuller explanation of the dis- ease that I can offer in limited space. OTTAWA REPORT Government Cost Absorbs 127 Days 'By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- Most Canadians will be in bed and asleep at the magic moment of ten minutes past 2:10 a.m. on Thunsday, May 7. Or to be exact, at 2:10.27 a.m., That will be As- cension Day incidentally, and anyone is entitled to draw any appropriate. parallel. At that magic moment, the 19,000,000 residents of Canada will have earned -- sufficient money during 1964 to pay off the year's estimated expendi- tures by our federal, provincial and municipal governments. Assuming that we all paid over every penny of income up to that moment, we could then devote our income for the bal- ance of the year to our own and our families'. needs. READERS' VIEWS TRUCKS ON WILSON Dear Sir: Re: Couneil's decision on In- dustrial Disposal trucks contin- uing running on Wilson Road South. In the beginning, may I ex- tend my thanks to the City Council for their efforts on this matter. We, on Wilson Road South are well aware that we are living on a main thorough- fare, and it was not our inten- tion to stop truck traffic on it. Our petition was submitted to Council asking for assistance in upholding and enforcing at least one of. the two bylaws we men- tioned in the petition; either the Anti-Noise Law, or a Highway Traffic Act. Surely matters could not keep on 'as they were! Breaking of these bylaws constitute a grave offence, and convictions. and fines would have been in order. I must admit at this time that noises and disturbances have decreased considerably of late. "Perhaps" we still may be able to co-exist. Mr. Murdoch mentioned the government subsidy of 33 and one-third per cent on cost of arterial streets. That is true, but we, the taxpayers, pay the bal- ance of 66 and two-thirds per cent, plus the maintenance and upkeep which runs into no small sums. City Assessment Commis- sioner Kerr stated that residents on arterial treets are allowed an assessment allowance for traffic. That is also true. As we watch the trucks and_ traffic rumble by, we console ourselves with the fact that we are saving 7-or 8 cents per day on taxes In conclusion, may I add that any further repetition of the issue that was on hand leave us no choice buéeto form a Rate- payers Association, complete with fund and legal backing. ; JOSEPH DRAPAK TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 23, 1964 . ..

That, I believe, is much too high a price for the kind of gov- ernment and government serv- ices which we need! its cer- tainly too high for the kind of government we are getting. Some Canadians may mutter in their sleep at that magic moment, say that that does not apply to them, and go-to sleep again in the deluded belief that some other suckers are paying the taxes. That is partly true --some Canadians pay. a higher proportion of their income away as taxes than others do. But the average Canadian should feel a twinge at that magic moment, Don't forget that the painful taxes, the direct taxes paid by individuals, amount to less than one-fifth of all taxes collected by our various. gov- ernments, CANADA OVERTAXED We are one of the most over- governed and over-taxed peo- ples in the world. Government expenditures have soared un- believably in the past seven years, Total expenditure by all federal, provincial and munici- pal governments in 1956 amounted to' » $8,351,000. Last year, according to the most re- cent estimate, they totalled $14,- 793,000. That represents an' increase of 78 per cent in government expenditure in seven years. Of course our incomes have risen in that same period, and we QUEEN'S PARK fave a larger number of people . at work and earning money now than seven years ago, But in 1956, we paid off our costs of government earlier in the year--April 25, to be exact, And this year we must work un- til May 7 to pay off those costs, So it is easy to see where the trend is taking us, If this rate of insiduous goyernment over- spending continues, by the year 1984 our children will be work- ing the whole year to pay the costs of government. Then the welfare state will have reached the ultimum: 'The free enter- prise system will have been completely destroyed, and we will all have nothing but gov- ernment hand - outs to enjoy. Then indeed, as Khrushchey has threatened, the Communist system will have gobbled us up '-- without a single nuclear- armed rocket being fired against us. WHAT GOES ON? How is this happening? Of course the past seven years, with four federal general elec- tions intervening, have seen politicians' promises reach rec- ord heights. But as never be- fore the cruel facts of taxation show clearly how much we, the sucker voters, have allowed our- selves to be guiled and bribed with our own tax money, In fact, our elected leaders have lost all sense of thrift. They are spending our money like drunken politicians, with never a thought as to whether we can afford the trimmings or indeed whether we need them. When already we have over- taxation and deficits, should more money be spent on such unessentials as changing the name of our national airline, on building oversize new public buildings, on welfare handouts which are in effect subsidies for the groceterias and property- owners of Florida, on undue raises for our overstaffed pub- lic service? Distillery Okayed But Not Wineries BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Our need for dis- tilleries apparently is more pressing than the need for wineries. A group at the Lakehead has announced it will be starting a new distillery. But there will not be any new wineries. Donald Patterson, the Liberal from Essex South, asked whether in view of the in- creased consumption of wine in Ontario any new wine manufac- turing licences would be_al- lowed. The liquor control board an- swered-no. The number of such organi- zations in Ontario, it said, was adequate to meet '"'present and foresee able consumption de- mands." The LCBO, of course, has very arbitrary powers over all manufacture of liquor in On- tario. And it is only with great reluctance it grants any new licences. : TOBACCO /DJUSTMENT? The -government seems to have. given a message to the tobacco industry which is clear, if not too direct. It apparently has decided that matural forces should con- trol and readjust the future of tobacco growing. In conferences with growers representatives during the auce tion crisis it showed no inclin- ation at all towards leeway. Normally, there would at least have been expressions of sympathy from these confers ences. But such expressions were notably missing. From this one takes -the co- viction that there will be a hands-off attitude in the future. The basic problem in tobacco is over-production. The growers are producing far too much for their present markets. Attempts at regulating this production through controls have not succeeded. So the supply and demand of the market-place will take over. Probably the most encourag- ing development out of the cris sis was the reported decision of some growers to diversify their operations by going into corn and other crops. They may be hard put to re- glize the cash return they need 'to carry their expensive farms --expensive largely through the monopoly value they have had. But at least they will not be completely dependent on the one crop. rights os other children? In a recent divorce action white to black is very rare.
