The college council in its brief points out that more than 400 persons are now enrolled in advanced technical evening courses (Ryerson type) and that these courses should be the re- sponsibility of the colleges. In addition, the college coun- cil says it has the assurance of industry that technical experts are available to help initiate the program.

It's Topical, Crucial But Officals Can't Agree On Question Evans was hanged for murder learn that the recent Gallup Poll "IT don't agree that this is a "It is inconceivable in our so- life sentence is no deterrent to bridge abutment just west of - The death penalty -- soon to be debated in the House of Com- mons -- is quickly becoming the most topical subject in local law circles Lawyer, Terence V. Kelly, QC, of Oshawa was the only person out of seven who were question- ed, to favor abolition of capital punishment. Three refused to comment Mr. Kelly, president of the Ontario County Bar Associa- tion, said it should be abolished because it has proven unwork- able People argue that it prevents murders,' he said, 'but a per- son who is planning a murder never thinks of the death pen- alty because he doesn't think he will ever be caught." He said there is always the element of human error to con- sider and when a man tenced to death and 'vou can't bring him back to life". ; Mr. Kelly recalled a case in Where & man named is sen- hanged, in 1949 and now judicial authori- ties have just completed a re- hearing "Seventeen years later there is still doubt whether he was rightly convicted,"' he said. "The death penalty eliminates any hope of correcting a mistake." He said statistics have shown that where the death penalty is in effect in the United States -- nine states have abolished it -- there has been no decrease in the number of murders Mr. Kelly argued also that a skilled counsel can save a mur- der from the death penalty op. posed to a lawyer just out of law school.

W. Bruce Affleck, crown attor- ney of Ontario County, advo- cate of retaining capital punish- ment, said there are a sufficient number of safeguards to justify ~ it and ensure that the only peo- ple that are hanged deserve to be. "Some people are considered to be psychopathic," he said "They are not considered to be insane, but cannot be helped by psychiatrists. It has been proven over the years that if these people are released, they will kill again and are an inherent danger to society." MAIN ARGUMENT Mr. Affleck said the major argument in favor of abolition is that an innocent man may be 'sanged, reasonable contention in view of the safeguards." By safeguards, he explained that before the charge is laid, the police have to convince the Justice of the Peace there is reasonable and justifiable grounds for the charge. He said a magistrate must then determine at a preliminary hearing if there is enough evi- dence to justify a trial; then a Grand Jury, comprised of seven layment, must determine if there is sufficient evidence to warrant a trial; then the petit jury, comprised of 12 persons, must be unanimous that there js proof of guilt beyond all rea- sonable doubt. And after this process, said Mr. Affleck, a provincial court of Canada must be satisifed it was a proper trial j And finally, he said, a con- victed murderer can appeal to the Minister of Justice for mercy. BRUCE AFFLECK ee « beilieves in deterrent ciety that a man could be hang- ed wrongly," said Mr. Affleck, "and I don't know of it happen- ing in Canada." He said he definitely believes in its deterrent value. "In the course of planning a murder, the potential murder must take into consideration the potential penalty. Chief George Rankine of the Whitby Police Department also opposes abolition of the death penalty and suggests a long look be taken at Britain when it abolished capita) punishment a few years ago (prior to re- taining it and just recently abol- ished it again) and when many police officers and prison guards were killed. "NO DETERRENT" He said the number of pre- meditated murders could in- crease considerably if the death penalty is abolished, He said a keep a criminal from killing a policeman or a_ penitentiary guard. Chief Bernard Kitney of the Bowmanville Police Department said he supports the stand of the Ontario Association of Police Chiefs and the Canadian Asso- ciation of Chiefs of Police, both organizations being against abolition of capital punishment. He said they took this stand more than five years ago.
