OTTAWA REPORT Even Weatherman he Oshawa Gimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TURSDAT, WAT HH; ace eae Let Judge, Jury Attend 'Executions, Bill Requests "The Canadian Press reports the introduction in the Commons of a private member's bill that would oblige the judge and jury in any capital murder conviction to attend the execution. Introduced as an amendment to the Criminal Code section that now requires the at- tendance of sheriffs and jail gov- ernors at hangings, the bill was given routine first reading and we shall be surprised if itegets any further. It goes to the end of a list of 125 other private members' bills awaiting debate in the restrict- ed time available for such proposals, The promoter, Milton Klein, Lib- eral member for Montreal Cartier, also introduced a bill that would al- low judges discretion to pass a life sentence, rather than the manda- tory death penalty, in capital mur- der convictions. It too received first reading and became No, 127 in the lineup. These proposals, as 'The Char- lottetown Guardian notes, at least serve the purpose of reminding Par- liament and the country that it is easier to take a vote on the subject of capital punishme nt than to get rid of it entirely as a moral issue. If it js right that people should he hanged as a deterrent against crime, what is wrong with vesting the ceremony in all the dignity of state? It is just aw solemn an affair, aurely, as the trial which preceded it, or the formality attending on the imposition of the sentence, Why should not the judge, in his robes of office, and the jurors who gave the verdict, be in attendance as a matter of course? And why shouldn't our law makers be pre- sent as weil, with Mr, Speaker at their head and at a goodly representation from every party in the House? Justice, as the old say- ing goes, should not only he done but should be seen to be done. And what more awesome demonstration of justice than this, or more fitting to be participated all cerned? least in by con. Of course it won't come to that, The judges would object, the jurors would revolt, our parliamentarians think nothing of quitting their $18,000-a-year jobs in disgust. The very idea is revolting! But just to think of it that way may shock us to into realizing that there must be something damnably wrong with the present system. would Those Drinking Drivers Perhaps there is something for other countries to learn in the method now followed by Finland in grappling with the problem pre- sented by those who drink and drive, In Finland, when they carry things to the point of hecoming convicted for drunken driving -- something that happens to about 6,000 motorists each year in Fin- land --~ it is no longer a case of their being fined or sent off to prison, Instead they are sent away for from three months to two years "with labor gangs engaged in build- ing airports and other government projects, -- i She Oshawa Gime 7. 1.

The plane was piloted by Phil Parmalee. Professor Saunders was a member of the Wright Brothers organization and put on a spectacular show He was dressed in red pants, and wore a helmet, While Parmalee was geiting his small plane to an altitude of 1,000 feet, Professor Saunders crouched beside him, holding on to his parachute There was no harness to strap it to his body. When he jumped from the plane, he held some brass rings until he landed on some mud flats near the pres- ent site of Second Narrows Bridge Two days its share of On May 24, Jaier Charles K, Hamillon made what is believed to have been the first cross country flight in Canada.

It has been evident for some lime that eventually they would have to be replaced with effi- cient area forces. The day of "Sam the Cop" who patrols Main Street on Saturday night and perhaps cuts hair the rest of the week are gone, This has some time. Bul there has heen a relue- lance to tell Sam, and the municipal council which em- ploys him. No one has wanied to hurt Sam's feelings or to make it Jook as though the province was stepping in to run little muniel- palities Now, however, done. R, P. Milligan, chairman of the Ontario Police Commission, told a meeting of a section of the Ontario Municipal Associa- tion, that the "one-man" police force would be done away witid force would be done away with. He didn't say when or how. Rut notice has been served He proposes, as you may have read, that there should he about 20 forces, with a mini- mum of 20 men, plus the OPP. As one reason for ending the small forces, it has been pointed out they are hopeless in the face of organized crime. But even more than that, of course, they are hopeless in the face of the routine job of polic- ing their own communities The automobile, the growth of vandalism and the modern pace have left them as out- dated as the horse and buggy. It was noteworthy that just one week after the Ontario Lib- eral annual meeting adopted the policy of the party leader and elected members having to sub- scribe to policies set by the party, four prominent Progres- sive Conservatives spoke out strongly against this proposal. The discussion was at the Me- Master seminar of the Young PCs Alvin Hamilton, former min- ister of agriculture, gave one of the strongest arguments against this policy when he said that much legislation today is far too complex and diffienlt to- allow detailed policies to he- worked out at grass-roots con- mentions. He said conventions should give only general policy diree- tion.
