2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, September 16, 1964 WEATHER FORECAST -- GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- Cloudy Periods, SHOPLIFTING SENTENCES HAVE MORE TEETH Sentences handed out in Magistrate's Court last Friday for shoplifting caused some raised eyebrows locally. . They were far more severe than usual -- instead of $10 fines or seven days, two accused were assessed $100 fines each, or 30 days, and a third got a $50 fine, or 15 days, on each of two theft charges. Such news undoubtedly will be disturbing to those who contemplate shoplifting, a far too frequent type of of- fence in Oshawa and dis- trict for the past few years; on the other hand, it will be jubilantly acclaimed by retail firms who have suffered heavy losses, who have been crying for court sentences with far more teeth them. One school of influential 'thought advocates automatic jail sentences in such cases after the second conviction, regardless if some of - the 4 total thefts range between $5 and $10; whether such MAGISTRATE JERMYN proposal is unduly harsh, the sentences handed out last Friday by Magistrate H. W. Jer- myn should serve as a deterrent. Many of the accused are married women whose hus- bands bring home substantial weekly pay cheques; because they have children, and because they are first offenders, some accused are given comparatively light sentences (if one disregards the unfavorable publicity attracted by such a case.) Someone mentioned in Magistrate's Court last Friday that more than $75,000,000 was lost last year by Canadian retailers to shoplifting -- this amount was later disputed by a City retail store operator who did admit, however, that the amount was "'staggering". He said that it was difficult for individual stores to ac- curately assess their annual losses in shoplifting. 'Insofar as the larger stores are concerned," he continued, "'some of these shoplifting losses may be traced back to store per- sonnel, or they may get mixed up unintentionally with errors in stocktaking which may not show up for several weeks, or months. We know that there is far too much shop- lifting going on, but it is difficult at times to prove the exact amount.' Halifax Chamber of Commerce sponsored a highly- successful drive against shoplifters three or four years ago after pilfering reached an all-time high. JAYCEES TOWN HALL FORUM NOVEMBER 30 The Oshawa Jaycees, did their share this week to hep create interest in the forthcoming municipal election. They announced that their-Town Hall Forum will be held im the City Council Chamber, fifth floor, City Hall, Novem- ber 30, at 6:30 p.m.- The first 30 minutes will be devoted to a discussion of the Wari System, which will be on a plebiscite for the voters this year -- then the program will follew its usual format with speeches and questions by the candidates from. the three municipal arenas, Board of Education, City Council and PUC. The young Jaycees again are to be commended for show- ing leadership in this all-important field of helping to stimu- late interest in the elections, which are for two years, Too bad that other organizations do not follow suit, especially by conducting forums on the Ward System. Municipal business is important business for each and every one of us. A municipality usually gets the kind of elected represen- tatives it deserves, and now is the time to dwell on such matters on the eve of the opening of the election campaign. FROST-FREE ROAD POLICY CRITICIZED That running word-battle between City Engineer Fred Crome and Herman Kassinger, the Oshawa subdivider, has been going on now for two or three years. _It was resuméd today when Mr. Kassinger -- who doesn't believe in the old/ adage: "You can't beat City Hall" -- took issue with Mr. Crome over statements made by the latter herein ("CITY ENGINEER EXPLAINS POLICY" -- Sep- tember 10, 1964.) Here is Mr _Kassinger's letter to this department: "0 Binge Roe leg diflow Sea pam cipal policy that jemntens gin he pag on Paiirghe uaa eet of frost-free material for pavements (as compared with a 17-inch depth three years ago.) "Mr. Crome says this pol- icy applies only on streets which have tible soils'. 'How many miles of streets were constructed in Oshawa in 1963 without frost-free material? In reality, how many miles of roads were built with four feet of grav- el base? : "This new Oshawa policy of four-feet of frost-free mat- erial not only applies to resi- dential roads, prepaid by subdividers, but also to the City's own streets at a pro- hibifive cost to the taxpay- ers -- even if grants from , the Provincial government HERMAN KASSINGER are applicable, this money still has to be paid by us in some form of taxation. "Mr. Crome says he doesn't know off-hand of any muni- cipality which -has a four-feet frost-free material policy -- he adds that Sudbury's policy calls for about four feet of frost-free material. "1 contacted City Engineer W. Rodman of Sudbury -by telephone and it was a 'surprise' to him to hear that his City had any such policy. He said that Sudbury. does not use a frost-free policy even with a frost penetration of up to eight feet -- Sudbury engineers see no 'justifiable' reason for such 'extravagance'. "Here is Sudbury's policy -- 184 inch granular B, 314- inch granular A, plus 3%4-inch of pavement where applica- bie. 'frost-suscep- "Oshawa is the only City in North America which stipu- lates four feet of frost-free material, thus causing the aver- age householder an increase from $300 to $500 for his home. "One more question for Mr. Crome: Why did your policy for two years require that the drain pipes along the roads had to be installed one-and-a-half feet above the bottom level of the costly frost-free material causing a penetration of water under the road nullifying the frost-free condition? "pid you notice any frost-heaving on those roads? If there was no frost damage did this not convince you that the four-feet frost-free material really was.not necessary. "How many thousands of dollars did the City waste.on this policy? Will we ever find out?" § , 4, in - A Little Milder St, Thomas.....+. London ... Kitchener ....+000, Mount Fogest.,..

When the 56-year-old Banks did not appear for his appeals case, the Crown took steps to grab his $25,000 bail which had been put up by Charles B, Gold- farb of Birmingham, Mich., who . described himself as a "friend." i Mr. 'Justice Lucien Tremblay of the Quebec Court of Appeal called Banks' case but Joseph Nuss, Banks' lawyer, made no submission. The Crown asked that the ap- peal be dismissed. "I suppose we should take the proper procedure and call the accused," said Mr. Justice Tremblay. "But I suppose there isn't much chance he'll ap- pear." USE LOUDSPEAKER Banks was called over the courthouse loudspeaker. His name echoed through the mar- ble halls. But no Banks, The court then ruled that the appeal was dismissed and the Crown took steps to have Banks' bail confiscated. He was convicted earlier this year for conspiracy to assault with intent to wound, maim or disfigure Capt, Henry Walsh, an organizer for the Canadian Merchant Service Guild, at Owen Sound in August, 1957. The man who sentenced him was Claude Wagner, then a judge of sessions court and now Quebec's: solicitor-general. Two other men are charged in connection with the beating of Capt. Walsh but their trial was postponed Tuesday to Nov. 3. They are Elden (Jack) Rich- ardson, 37, and Ernest P. Carsh, 38. WARRANT ISSUED A warrant was issued for Banks' arrest by. crimina] court Judge Jean Tellier. The hefty former waterfront boss was to have appeared on a charge of conspiring to assault Richard Greaves of Vancouver in 1960. Greaves was a rival union leader.

Banks appealed unsuccessfully. Unconfirmed reports circulat- ing in Montreal have put Banks in either the United States or in Puerto Rico where he used to spend his holidays. In the Commons Monday Op- position Leader Diefenbaker said cannot be extra- dited from the United States to face conspiracy charges and charged there had been "gross negligence here re." Justice Minister Favreau said the government had taken "all relevant steps" in the case but would consult with the cabinet about any further tnvestigation the government might make.
