2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 10, 1974 Section Two EDITORIAL COMMENT lHelp Win the Most people think of the war against cancer as being waged only in the laboratories, in the universi- ties, in research institutions. They look forward to the day when sudden success in research by professionals will defeat the disease. It is not that simple. The conquest of cancer must be won by ordinary people - by 'vblunteer workers, b yfund-raisers. Each one of us can help make the tfest tube battle' possible Volun- teers rank equally with the profes- sionals . . . each supplementing and complementing each other. The canvasser who rings your doorbell for a donation to the annual .campaign of the Canadian Cancer Society is just one of a nation-wide network of 120,000 dedicated volun- teers. They gather funds for a Cancer Battle growing research program as well as for publie education and service to cancer patients. They also offer their services for many and varied tasks: teaching hobbies to patients, making count- less dressings, driving milions of miles annually to transport patients to treatment centres, visitng hos- pitals, implementing public educa- tion programs. It is safe to say that never before have so many people devoted themselves' to the defeat of a disease. All Canadians are urged to take part in this battle against cancer. Do it by having regular medical examinations to guard your health. Do it by making a contribution to the Aprilcampaign for funds. Do it by offering the most generous gif t of all - your services as a volunteer. A Lack of Credibility Although Washington and its Watergate problems are many hundreds of miles away, the continuing disclosure of dishonesty in high places is beginning to breed consequences in our own society, says the Wingham Advance-Times. We are finding an ever-increasing tendency on the part of the average citizen to scoff at the statements of people in high places. The most notable example, perhaps, is the conviction in many minds that the much talked-of shortages of fuel, food and produc- tion equipment are simply a ruse to force te uying public to pay higher prices. Big corporations, along with miost politicians, are generally 'discredited in the eyes of the average Canadian who feels that he is being victimized by the most costly hoax in history. Obviously we still have some honest politicians and some con- ,scientious businessmen in this country, but they are all suffering irom the taint exuded by those who bave been proven untrustworthy. Aithough Watergate and its rogues have no direct bearing upon what happens in Canada, the average man or woman who has relied too much upon the decisions of the powerful in our land feels let down by those in whom he or she trusted. Officials of Ontario Hydro have admitted to us that they face a gigantic task, not merely to provide the energy capabilities that this province must have, but more i mportantly, the job of rebuilding Hydro's credibility in the eyes of its shareholders - the people of Ontario. Many people, and particu- larly the farmers whose lands are affected by the expropriation of tower line sites, simply do not believe what Hydro is teling them - and that in face of the fact that Hydro has taken more pains to present its case to the public than most powerful corporations have done in the past. lHowever, if Hydro is in the public dog-house at the present time, their plight is pleasant compared with the big oil companies. It is unjust, of course, to lump them all together, but then the ordinary man in the street has no readily available means of distinguishing the rogues from the righteous. Very few Canadians actually believe that there is any serious shortage of oil in this country - and with consider- able justification. Not one vehicle owner has ever found a line-up at a service station; no limit was ever placed on the use of sporting equipment such as snowmobiles or motor boats. There has been an avalanche of comment about oil shortages in Canada - on the air waves and in the daily press - but the f olks who have to pay for the fuel have one experience in common, and only one. The price has gone up and is going even higher. Whether we like to believe it or not, most Canadians are pretty well-to-do these days. We have a lot of loose change. So when a manufacturer finds that a shortage of his products creates a willingness on the part of the consumer to pay even higher prices he's on to a good thing. Shortages mean higher selling prices, so let's not be too hasty about remedying the cause of the shortag- es. It's as simple as that. The sad part of the whole deal is that some goods are, in fact,:in short supply. Some manufacturers and- retailers are honestly trying to provide for public needs - but most of us no longer believe even the honest men. Skepticism is the order of the day. Carried to its ultimate extreme we will find ourselves doubting the word of good friends and neighbors. The whole situation is regret- table. Ontario Hydro, Imperial Oil and hundreds of other big corpora- tions have, over the years, served us well. They provided quality goods and services without which our civilization would have been ines- timably poorer. The disease of disbelief will take a lot of curing. A Corner for Poets IN THE DAWNING OF EASTER DAY THE BLESSING OF THE BLOSSOMS The risen Christ slowly walking Came straight to the open door, Where the first bright rays of mornng, Spread over the marble floor. Slowly He walked to the entrance, Calling each Blossom by name, Giving a blessing and fragrance None other Blossom couldclaim. Trimphant the Lord stood waiting, Shieldng his eyes from the light, Himself to the world revealing, After the darkness of night.- Silent He watched the new Morning, Angel Guards speeding away, Never more need of returning, After the dawning of day. Quickly came sound of guards crashing Breaking that Heavenly spell. Half asleep, cityward rushing, Eager their story to tell. Shadows of earth all departed, Cometh the Easter Day. Christ with His Father united, Completing the Trinity. Sing ye highest of mountains, Shout ye depths of the sea, Whisper ye lovely green valleys, The Christ is Risen today. Minnie E.

Dear Editor, I was wondering why they don't form a hockey team for young girls and' women. 1, along with many other young people (teen girls) think it would be a very good thing to have. I mean I'm not for women's lib or anything, its just that we love hockey too and would love to play on organized teams. You know to compete against each other, have playoffs just lîke the Oshawa Generals or Bowman- ville Midgets. Please answer my letter and tell where I can find more information on forming these teams. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Patty Stephenson, R.R. 6, Bowmanville, Ontario REPORT FROM QUEENS PARK by Alex Carruthers, M.P.P. ONTARIO LAW REFORM COMMISSION "Ontario wives are being short- changed by laws which were developed for different economic conditions and different social expectations which existed during the 18th and 19th centuries". That is the feeling of the Ontario Law Reform Commission in its most recent report on family property law. The report points out that in the absence of title, (property in husband's name only) the wife has no legal standing to advance a claim to existing assets as she would have were she a partner or an equal. Under what the commission terms, the matrimonial property regime both husband and wife should be entitled to an equal share in the value of their combined assets, acquired during the mar- riage in event of a divorce. IÏ such a concept were adopted it would mean that a Murdoch case could not occur in Ontario. If you are not familiar with the case, the facts were that Irene Murdoch, after having worked (in the literal sense of the word) on the family farm for 25 years was found by the Supreme Court of Canada, not to have any legal claim tQ anyof the farm property nor its profits. The commission's view of mar- nage as a joint economic venture works two ways: as well as an equal share of the assets, there would also be an equal share of any debts incurred during the marriage. Enforcement of laims would be similar to collection of any other debt and the debtor-spouse would be allowed to pay the debt by installments with interest over 10 years. As an 'out' to those who do not wish to be bound by the proposed scheme, the commission would allow spouses to make their own property contract as long as their private agreement did not alter the rights and obligations concerning, for example, the matrimonial home, or support obligations. In another major recommenda- tion, the report suggests that the status of illegitimac should be abolished in Ontario. This would ut an end to a stigma being attachedto children who being born out of wedlock have had few legal claims. It further suggests that in any court proceedings nvolving evalua- tion of the best interest of a child - such as adoption or custody proceed- ings - an independent Law Guard- ian should assist the court in arriving at a conclusion. The province is also urged to unify the Ontario Family Court; in the past, the report points out, it was possible and not unusual to have proceedings in three different courts at the same time. Under a unified Family Court time, effort and expense would be saved and a number of family difficulties would be resolved at one time and in one court. The Ontario Law Reform Com- mission's brief on family law is the result of seven years of intensive study and contans a total of 165 proposed legislative changes. Some provinces have stated that they will make no changes in their laws until Ontario does; with the recommended changes already in the Throne Speech, Ontario will once again lead the way in law reform, OPP Report The Newcastle Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigated the follow- ing motor vehicle collisions and occurrences during the week of March 18,1974 to March 24, 1974. Twenty motor vehicle colli- sions were investigated in which twelve persons were injured and one person was killed. As a result of these collisions four persons have been charged with offences under the Highway Traffic Act. The Newcastle officers also completed 73 occurrences of a general nature. Some of these occurrences are as follows: There were four investiga- tions into the offence of "Theft", four investigations into the offence of "Wilful Damage" and three investi- gations into the offence of "Assault" d. ' 'Ot'hèr investiga- tions includld two reports of "Tresspass", one report of receiving a "threatening" phone call and three reports of erratic drivers. Three persons have been charged. with the offences under the Liquor Control Act, one person has been charged with a driving offence under the Criminal Code and four PA] ISMMi When you miles and m stranges in fi body but also t a bit scramble I'm three crash trip to feels like an mind is like ar little meat in day..of the weg day it is, or wl Among us i this condition i In plain terms, Normally traumatic juç Standard to Da invariably thrc a couple of dai But when 3 change of six , backwards wi human system I feel as th( other piece of is stil back in in mid-Atlantf to catch up w which is its usi Just to ( feeling of aliE lent a hand. howling blizza the Bl ack Fu sixties, flowei where.
