Spree lating? She Oslsawwe Sines Published by C :nadian Newspapers Limited 86 Kinc 't. E., Oshawa, Ontario . ye | re Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 20, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Names Of Juveniles Not Usually Published eenesererngeasarnne eteis See ee -- ee es In a world which makes a fetish of smoothing the path for wrong- doers and overlooking the law- abiding, this matter of protecting vicious law-breakers because they are juveniles, still clings to the old idea that murder, rape or robbery is something different if the rapist, murderer or robber has not yet at- 'tained a certain number of years. The Sarnia Observer notes that for some unknown, and certainly unproven, reason it is considered "unfair" to publish the names of juveniles apprehended and charg- ed with crime. In the case of ex- uberance and minor misdemeanors this is correct: Nothing is saccomp- lished by branding a youngster caught at something which has more nuisance than criminal intent. But when anyone commits an adult crime nothing is accomplished by hiding the mature brutality because the culprit has not attained a cer- ain age. Commenting on this the maga- zine Editor and Publisher says: "After much prodding and coaxing by social workers and social agen- cies it has become the policy of many newspapers to withhold the names of juvenile offenders involv- ed in serious crimes. At the present time there is a movement in some states to raise the age limit from 18 to 21 of those 'juveniles' to be shield- ed from publicity." Social workers and social agen- cies, in this particular instance, are evincing more concern over irre- sponsibles or incorrigibles, than for 'their law-abiding and_ innocent victims. "Most newspapers oppose this extension of age and we agree with them," Editor and Publisher says. "Our feeling is that if a person is old enough to buy liquor, as can be done in many states at 18 years, and to be drafted or join the military service, he or she should be old enough to answer to the public as an adult for criminal acts. "It may not represent a swing in the opposite direction, but the city council. of San Barnardino, Cal., ordered the chief of police to write a letter to the newspapers request- ing the names of juvenile offend- ers involved in serious crimes be published. For the first time a police reporter attended a juvenile court. It had been the policy of newspapers to withhold juvenile names except in cases of extreme violence. "We believe there will be wide- spread agreement.. . . that there is a growing belief there can be too much coddling of juvenile of- fenders, and the people of a com- munity have a right to know what the law enforcement problem is," Curb The Slaughter With traffic ever increasing, if the toll of highway slaughter is ever to be stopped, some drastic ac- tion must be taken to curb the driv- ing of motorists who are reckless, impaired or incompetent. What is dangerous driving? asks the Guelph Daily Mercury. Is the driver of a car that travels up to 80 miles an hour in the city, goes through three stop signs on to main travelled thoroughfares, then goes through a red light where a collision could easily have happen- ed, guilty of dangerous driving? A Windsor youth did this. After setting up a road block the police were able to stop him and he was charged with dangerous driving. He appeared before a magistrate and what happened? Nothing. The magistrate ruled that speed alone does not constitute dangerous driv- ing. The defence counsel argued that his client's driving was deplor- able but it wasn't dangerous "Where this type of performance is treated so lightly, where lives could have easily been in jeopardy, it just doesn't seem to add up for the average drivers. If our laws are written so that what is consid- ered justice is dispensed in this way, then shouldn't our laws have some revamping? An acquittal in a case like this is sure to mean that acci- dents are going to increase, there being little to deter them," the Mercury concludes, "Why should a motorist whose judgment is impaired by drink be dealt with any the less severely than if he were driving a locomo- tive, or operating a crane on a con- struction job? asks the Montreal Gazette. The drunken engineer or crane operator would be dismissed at once. Everybody would say he de- The Oshawa Times T. L.

But when some motorist is arrested for impaired driving and brought before the court, the public seems to think he should be treated lightly, as some one only showing a human frailty. "Ohief Justice McRuer, of the High Court of Ontario, retiring af- ter 20 years,on the bench, thinks this light-hearted attitude towards the impaired driver is quite mis- taken. 'There's too light a value be- ing placed on human life, he says. " All the focus in criminal auto acci- dent cases before the courts is on the accused. The person whose life is destroyed is viewed very much as a mere statistic." "Most people have their momen- tary lapses, are thoughtless at times, or have their attention dis- tracted. But that's quite different from driving a dangerous thing like an automobile, when under the influence of liquor," the. Gazette continues. "Chief Justice McRuer believes it is quite wrong to pass judgment according to the result of impaired driving. If the members of the pub- lic have managed to. get out of the way of an impaired driver, he may only be fined, or given a brief jail sentence. If someone has not been able to get out of his way, and hap- pens to be killed, then a heavy jail sentence may be imposed. "Unequal sentences of this kind are not based on ineqality of. guilt. The impaired driver who doesn't kill anybody may only be lucky. And why should the law recognize his good luck, instead of the risks he took with human life?" Other Editors' Views THE HIGH COSTS OF LEARNING (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Some figures recently noted by the Columbia University Graduate school of Journalism give evidence of the soaring cost of college edu- cation. Tuition at the school was $150 a year in 1914, The figures for each succeeding 10-year period were $240, $320, $420, $650 and $1,650 -- today's figure. What tuition. will be a decade 'hence was not projected, but. col- lege costs generally are likely to be prohibitive for and more persons as time goes on. Ample scholarships are available for top students, but mediocre to poor students without funds face increasing problems in our techno- logical society. SIMPKIMS AK w SS GETTING HIM ON THE WARPATH REPORT FROM U.K. British Witch Travels To U.S. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) correspondent to The Oshawa Times BOURNEMOUTH, Hampshire --Forty-year-old Sybil Leek, who has won considerable fame and not a little notoriety as the 'Queen of the Witches" of the New Forest, is leaving her home in the New Forest Village of Burley, near Bournemouth. Sybil Leek is a self-styled witch. She makes no bones about it, For the last three years she YOUR HEALTH has kept a small shop in Bur- ley, and to it came hundreds of people for adyice and guid- ance. She was the leading spirit of the witches of the New For- est area, and there are many in that part of England who lay claim to. witchcraft. In the three years in the shop, Sybil received over 6,000 letters from people of all class- es, They came, she has claim- ed, from royalty, politicians, and just ordinary people. No-Tan Teenager Is Self-Conscious By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. MOlner: My teen- age daughter is self-conscious because she doesn't have a tan. She doesn't enjoy living out in the sun, and she really does not tan readily. So she wants to use a suniamp. I have read about the danger of the sun causing skin cancer, and wonder if the lamp would be better. At least it would be more comfortable and faster, she thinks.--Mrs. W.C An ordinary amount of sun- ning, whether outdoors or with a lamp, seems to do no harm. Excessive exposure does, whether from the sun or from a lamp. In either case, it is the action of ultra-violet rays. The danger arises when ex- posure continues for a long time, and is repeated year after year. Susceptible are sailors, farmers and sometimes people in the south who get too much sun. And we could add persons who regard a leathery tan as a status symbol. If your daughter sunlamp, that's all she should use it gradually enough so that she doesn't burn. However, I doubt that she would be tempted to cook her- self to a harmful degree. Dear Dr. Molner: My gyne- cologist - surgeon doesn't have time to explain to me the use of the hormone "'estrogen" fol- lowing a radical hysterectomy. (removal of both ovaries, tubes and uterus). What would hap- pen if I didn't take it and what if I look too much? Is it dan- gerous?--Mrs, J.R. The hormone is extremely beneficial and not dangerous when taken with ordinary: good sense What it boils down to is this: Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop functioning. This occurs naturally as women reach middle age. If the ovaries are removed sooner, the effect is the same. This is what we call "'surgi- cal menopause." Dear Dr. Molner: My blood was recently tested for diabetes and it was 102. My doctor told me not to worry. At what level should one become concerned? --D.G. This depends on when the test is taken, in relation to meals. If it was taken before break- fast (we call this a 'fasting blood sugar") the reading is normal, yet it does not rule out the possibility of diabetes. But if the test was taken one or two hours after a meal, then the reading leaves you in the clear. a The reason? Many mild dia- betics have a normal fasting blood sugar, but this quickly goes to high levels after eat- ing If there is even slight sus- Picion of diabetes, either in prefers a right, but your history or.symptoms, a further test, called a sugar tol- erance test, will give a more definite answer, Dear Dr. Molner: Is any special diet for a person who has developed a_ hiatus hernia? I am 63. Does this con- dition tend to get worse?-- C.A.M. For the average hiatal her- nia, no special diet is required. (if the patient is too heavy, he benefits by losing some weight) However, if the case involves burning in the pit of the stom- ach, bleeding, or regurgitation of acid material, a bland diet is advisable. Hiatal hernias but more often they do not. When symptoms 'persist, sur- gery may be necessary. _ Dear Dr. Molner: Does smok- ing cigarettes and drinking beer (not excessively) by a pregnant woman have any ill effects on her or her unborn child?--Mrs, J.0.C. Smoking, in some instances, is thought to have some effect on premature delivery, Beer adds calories and might cause excessive gain in weight, which is not desirable, Beer in mod- erate amounts, and if your weight is not excessive, will not harm the baby. there may enlarge, ~ Now Sybil Leek, who is hav- ing to move out of her shop in Burley because of her self-con- fessed activities in witchcraft, is migrating to the United States. But she has packed up the 6,000 letters she had ac- cumulated since she became fa- mous as the Queen of the Witch- es. She has taken them to a bank where they have been placed for safe-keeping while she is in the United States. The famous witch talked quite freely about these letters. She. said: "Most of them were from people who wanted advice with the problems. Many were just from people who wanted to get their problems off their minds by writing to me about them. But I have found time to ans- wer all of them. "People seem to find com- fort in telling their problems to a stranger, and they seemed to think that because I am a witch I should be able to help them. But I shall never let anyone know what is in these 6,000 letters, Each one con- tains some family secret, some human problem." NOT RESENTFUL Sybil Leek's shop in Burley-- the only one in the village with- out a name, was ostensibly for the sale of antiques. But as she became well-known the antique business became very much of a sideline. Eventually, the shop became something of a centre in which the chief business was giving advice to visitors and answering the steady flood of letters which came her way. Regarding the necessity of moving away because the land- jord had refused to renew her lease on the shop, Sybil said: "IT do not feel resentful about it anymore -- I think it was just fate." It is Sybil's aim to make a film about witchcraft in the United States. She will also fight to give witchcraft an aura of respectability and improve its image. She said: "Broomsticks, spells and frog's legs are all outdated. I shall spend the rest of my life trying to dispel the stupid me- dieval concept of witchcraft which still prevails." But whether Sybil will find in the United States as fertile a field for her practice of witchcraft as the little village in the heart of the New Forest of Southern England is a ques- tion' only the future will ans- wer. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO July 20, 1949 More than 1,500 paid poll tax in Oshawa in 1948, amounting to $9,270. This revenue was On- tario's second highest of the 24 municipalities. A contingent of Oshawa Scouts attended the National Scout Jamboree at Ottawa. The troop was under the leadership of Executive Secretary Len Knight. He was assisted by Christopher Willoughby, . Irvin Harrow and Lloyd Sturch. T. H. Everson received the congratulations of his many friends on the occasion of his 93rd birthday. The annual Oshawa. Branch 43, Canadian Legion -- picnic under the chairmanship of Vice- president William Beaton, was an outstanding success. ' Albert C. Love was appointed as district deputy of the Knights of Columbus. Work was begun to remove the former street car tracks preparatory to resurfacing Sim- coe street north from A'exandra street to Rossland road, Over all expenditure for the project was $34,411 Announcement was made by Ald. A. Hayward Murdoch, sec- retary of the Old Home Week Committee, that the entry of Miss Betty Barta, winner of "Miss Oshawa" had been ac- cepted for the Miss Canada Pageant held in Toronto. John R. Beaton, Connaught street, was appointed a research fellow, Department of Public. Health Nutrition School of Hygiene, University of Tor- onto. Four members of the Oshawa. Chess Club, E. A. Hillmer, pres- ident, C. Black, E. Geisinger and §. D, Ballard, contested games in the _ International Chess Tournament held in Buf- falo. First victim of poliomyelitis in Oshawa district for the year was Mrs. Joseph Forestall. The cornerstone -of the new extension to the Whitby Legion Hall was laid by President Harry James, Assisting in the ceremony were Mayor William Davidson, Rev, David Marshall, chaplain. of the branch and Jack Burch, president of the Oshawa Legion. a OTTAWA REPORT Parliament Is The Place For Partisanship, Politics Patrick Nicholson's guest columnist today is Hon. Michael Starr, minister of labor in the former Conserv- ative goevrnment, and Pro- gressive Conservative MP for- Ontario riding. By MICHAEL STARR OTTAWA -- "What is wrong with Parliament?" has been the question asked ir recent times. There have been many and varied opinions expressed in answer to this question. In my opinion there is really nothing wrong with the institu- tion of Parliament or, for the most part, with the people whe go there. In most cases they are individuals acceptable in ai- most any society, selected by the electorate because of their party policies or political ad- herence. In many _ instances they are selected by the elec- torate because they have some capacity for winning friends and influencing people. QUEEN'S PARK What then is the peculiar in- in my opinion Parliament ts the proper place for politics. The candidate in an election runs for Parliament on a politi- cal platform, representing poll- tical party in most cases. Once having been elected, I feel that it is his duty, particu- larly if he is a member of the ition, to scrutinize care: capacity that seems to have fallen over Parliament? . The reason for this may be in part that we have a minor- ity government and four opposi- tion parties. It may also be that we have witnessed in the past year a confusing state of affairs insofar as government business is concerned. . NOT MUCH DIFFERENT In spite of all this I find that Parliament is not much differ- ent now than it was when I be- came a member in 1952. Par- liament rolls on, business gets done (when it is presented) and in general the things that have to be done eventually get done. Parliament is a place where those representing the people have an opportunity to express their opinions. It has been said by many that there should not be partisan politics in Parlia- ment. I must emphatically say that Home And Robarts Talked Politics BY DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--What do notables talk about on those courtesy visits which from time to time they pay each other? Remember years' ago when the late Eleanor Roosevelt held a hot dog party at Hyde Park for the late King George VI and the now Queen ~ Mother Elizabeth? What did the two women -- complete strangers at the time --find to talk about? Hardly the price of mustard. Since then the writer has had quite a strong curiosity on this point, And finally it has been semi- gratified. TALKED POLITICS On his recent overseas trip Premier Robarts paid a call on Prime Minister Sir Alec Home at 10 Downing Street. This gave an_ irresistible chance to ask Mr. Robarts -- just what did you two men talk about? And he told me. They talked politics! It wasn't quite this simple, of course. "I have recently won an elec- tion and as we all know Sir Alec is facing 'one,"' Mr, Ro- barts said. "So what was more natural than that we should talk polities." The British prime minister, one would gather, had quite a strong interest in Ontario's elec- READER'S VIEWS HOSPITAL THANKED Dear Sit: I would like to thank the nurses and staff on the 3rd floor of the Oshawa General Hospital for their kind care and tréat- ment to Mrs. Joseph Huckwell during her six weeks stay in hospital. I would also like to thank Dr. Milian for the fine treatment ment and care he gave her, and all our good neighbors for giv- ing me their time and trans- portation, taking me to and from hospital every day and for their kindness to Mrs. Huckwell for cards and. flowers. Yours truly, JOSEPH HUCKWELL hitby N.Z. Stressing Positive Stand WELLINGTON (CP) -- New instructions ordered for New Zealand public servants. have been hailed as a revolutionary change of approach in public relations, Ad The government has in- structed all its departments to adopt a "positive public rela- tions policy" in the release of information on what they do. Officers are to be given greater freedom in telling the public about the work of their depart- ments. : More important, they have been ordered not to withhold in- formation except for personal, security or similar reasons, Defining the basis of the new policy, Prime Minister Keith J. Holyoake said: "Too often, in- formation is released only when there is good reason for doing so. The rule in future will be that information should be with- held only if there is good reason for doing so." Described by the press as a remarkable shift in emphasis, this new approach has been praised as a valuable step to- ward removal of misunder- standing about officialdom. Henceforth, it has been pointed out, officials will have to justify any withholding of information. DRAFT PROGRAMS The government also has in- structed every head of depart- ment to prepare annual public relations programs for the ap- proval of their ministers. It has ruled that departments have a responsibility {o ensure that people know their rights and re- sponsibilities and what services they can expect. tion and particularly in the suc- cess of his fellow Conservative. In addition to talking political shop, Mr. Robarts says, Sir Alec was able to brief him on certain questions such as Rus- sian relations, situations in the Asiatic countries and other mat- ters on which he naturally had information not available from any other source. Mr. Robarts, incidentally, re- turned from the U.K. with the conviction that the Conserva- tives will do much better in the general election than many peo- ple expect. He had the strong feeling that Sir . Alec is steadily making gains, while Mr. Wilson, the Labor leader, is slowly losing ground, (We never did find out what Mrs. Roosevelt and the Queen talked. about. Probably their children.) NORTHERN CATTLE One would gather that there is a very strong possibility that, as reported while the premier was overseas, Italian interests eventually will try and start a cattle industny in Northern On- tario. Mr. Robarts says 'the inter- est both in Italy and in the de- partment of agriculture here is genuinely very strong. He says also there will be other exciting developments out of his. trip. fully the legislation and expen- ditures proposed by the govern. ment. : It is also his duty, when of- fering such criticism, to offer, if possible, an alternative. If he happens to be a mem- ber of Her Majesty's Loyal Op- position, it must, of necessity, be his. objective eventually to convince the electorate of Can- ada that the party of which he is a member, presents an al- ternative to the party in gov- ernment. NO, PARTISANSHIP? : jose who have that there should be oe osanship in Parliament number among them many commenta- 'tors, writers and columnists, What are they really propos- ing? In my opinion, it would mean a form of collaboration by all parties, which eventually would lead to a one-party system. When that has been established, it is feasible to assume that a dictatorship could develop. It is my earnest beliéf and conviction that Parliament is the place for politics and parti- sanship. This is the very es- dence of our democratic system of government. When we elim- inate and destroy this system we can rest assured that we will be well on our way to a dictatorship. Those who propose non-parti- sanship in the House of Com- mons, by doing so permit the down-grading of Parliament in the eyes of Canadians, In the 12 years that I have been a member, there has al- ways been partisanship and politics in Parliament. This is as it should be and that is the way I like it. TODAY IN HISTORY .By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 20, 1964... A bomb attempt on Hit- ler's life failed as the rem- nants of the German "'op- position' sought to bring about a coup d'etat 20 years ago today--in 1944. The fact that he had escaped death was unknown to the con- spirators who went about implementing their plan, They were quickly rounded up and executed.
