4 NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY » "THE STAR EDITORIAL Notes and Comments Crime In Canada The Kennedy administration in the United States has put the pressure on the vast crime syndicates that lately threat- ened to get a strangle hold on state and: local government and judges and police forces. The Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion has long known that the fantastic sums of money needed to finance such criminals came largely from gambling. Because of the pressure, organized crime has tried to move into Canada where it might: sit out the present squeeze and yet remain in control of its interests in the States. ' Organized crime depends upon the gam- bling public. the factory worker, the housewife, the clerk in the office--these people and thou: sands of people like: them who place a five-dollar or a two-dollar bet with the local bookie supply the funds upon which organized crime is built. No one knows exactly how much money is involved in gambling in-Canada. What is known is that the Canadian people spend more on gambling than on medical care or education. An estimate has placed the amount at approximately five billion dol- lars a year which is more than twice the sum spent on national defense. The bulk of this money is bet on horse-races through bookies. No The people who bet can, for the most part, afford the luxury of this type of gambling. They delude themselves that The small business man, - they are simply .taking a chance. But they are taking a chance which the coun- try can ill-afford. They are pouring vast sums of money into the activities of the underworld. If you were to ask these people they would "tell you that they are opposed to bootlegging, prostitution, dope peddling, corruption of public officials and gang murders. And yet their money is used to support these things. The local bookie has to do business with large lay-off bettors who comprise a com- bine throughout the North American con- tinent. The dimes, quarters and dollars played illegally on the horses, on sports, on pools do not stay in the hands of big-time gamblers. As soon as they start to make a killing they look around for suitable in- vestments. One of the most remunera- tive is the narcotics racket. Laws will not kill gambling. They may serve to cut down on the activity and the power of the criminals who control gam- bling but not to any great extent. Only when the business man, the fac- tory worker, the clerk and the housewife and the thousands like them who gamble stop patronizing the illegal bookie can we even hope to control crime. They can do far more than laws to put an end to crime syndicates by cutting off the main source of their funds for the illegal enterprizes that gamblers seek to set up. Soviet Withdrawal of Aid to China --China's- leaders thought -they were strong enough to stand up to the Soviet Union and air their differences. They have discovered to their sorrow that such actions have far-reaching results which are not always pleasant. : It has been important to China. to hew the Stalinist line because it gave their people a. fanatical fighting: power. The Party is not as old as the Party in Russia, not as far away from: its revolutionary battle cries, not as ready to compromise because it cannot yet afford to do 80. Khruschev can no:longer afford to hew the Stalinist line. Hid peoplé are begin- ning to demand luxuries, a higher:standard- of living and more communication with the outer world. dr prgpoms Khruschev must for the same reason put China in her place if she speaks out of turn. Russia therefore has withdrawn economic and technical support to China in order to make her understand just how dependent She really is-on Russia's good imps ..the food shortage. The gigantic San Men gorge hydro- electric development is a project dear to the hearts of the Communist rulers in China. It also supplies work for thous- ands of Chinese.

In spite of acute food shortage China must still pay Russia huge shipments of Agricultural produce in payment of debts. It is even rumoured that China must send most of the grain it is buying from Canada to Russia. : i Industrial decline in China has increased Workers are ill from malnutrition. The whole situation adds up to:a very serious matter. "What will the Chinese do now? Will they have the courage of their convictions? What will they do about Nehru"s challenge to get out of India? Will they continue to stand up to Khruschev in spite of Rus- sia's retaliatory blow? 'Law Enforcement As a Profession The following: article on law en< forcement has been submitted by Po~ lice Chief Robert Cameron for publi- cation. In towns the size of ours, police of- ten come in for criticism and are the butt of jokes; as are many other. pro- fessions who: act 'in' the capacity of public 'servants; However, this ar- ticle explains the myriad of dutics the ~~ policeman-must be ready: and able to perform, and will no doubt give: our readers a better appreciation of the difficulties of their role. : The article reads as follows: "Law enforcement is a profession, We must in emergencies, act as doct- or, minister, lawyer, consultant, fire- man, 'scientist, and. we must at all times be the epitome of courtesy, a Lord Chesterfield in manners, a model of deportment, a big brother to all "kinds and a shining example of pub- lic service: Before law enforcement can be dis- cussed. as a- profession. we must an- -swer the question, what is a profes- sion?

Knowledge must be organized in some acceptable method in order that it can be used and re-used constantly. Those things: which are controlling factors" in making one occupation a profession and another a mere calling or job: might be listed under eight headings: public service, training, history, knowledge, attitude, enthus. iasm, research, obligations and res- ponsibilities. The attitude of the members of any profession is an essential factor, and 'no: body.of men can reach professional basis«if the members lack enthusiasm: Likewise, every profession has its re- edrchers, R@search is sometimes -| f&natical, but look at the result, The atom bomb, nylons and speed planes are the results of research, but all three of them might be regarded by some people as evils instead of pro- gress! J A We, as police: officers, should be able to meet every requirement of the profession. ] We are obligated by law and by our oath:of office to protect: the lives and property of our citizens. If we don't protect them to the best of our ability then there will be no need for the minister, the doctor and the lawyer. The training of police officers is sométhing new. It has come about in the last few years. The ultimate suc- cess of any police department depends upon the acts of the individual offi- cers. Police officers operate alone and unaided, and the very success of a department depends upon the action of the men when they are on their own initiative, ; It is false economy to spend time, effort, and money to carefully select personnel and then fail to provide the proper training. For law enforcement ,the ideal situ- ation is one where men may be trained . great service to society. thoroughly in crime detection, crimin- al apprehension, local laws and ordin- ances evidence, testifying in court, disarming, raids, and other pertinent subjects and then retained periodi- cally. In every city street and alley, in every rural-community and highway; and in every court, the police officer stands out as the exponent of good citizenship in compliance with law and order. £ The most ignorant member of any community recognizes-the- uniform-of a policeman and knows what the shiel' on the uniform represents. The es- timation in which the law is held by the populace depends upon the impar- tiality, courtesy, and intelligence of every man wearing the uniform and shield of law: enforcement", All will have noticed in news stories of incidents in neighboring cities, sev- eral policemen have been injured while performing their duty of enforcing the law, while spectators have stood by and offered no assistance to the policeman who was badly outnumber- ed while attempting: to- take - these hooligans into custody.

For that reason they are due all the help and respect that good citizens can give them, Anglican Notes > By Mary Becker "Our Parish Life Renewal program- me is at a high point this week, with two missions in full swing, prayer and bible study groups meeting regularly, and a good part of the parish taking part in Lenten services, on April 16th. Sladen of the Diocesan centre, for 'the two missions, The Children's Mission is being held after school, divided into primary and junior sections, Those 6, 7 and 8 years old are under the direction of Mrs. Stan Glass, assisted by Mrs. C.

In the evenings at 7 p.m., the teenagers are having their Young Peoples' Mission under the leadership of Mr. Fuller, Miss Edith Clift, Diocesan Director of Youth Work, and Mrs. A. Dowson. Concluding. services will be held to- morrow (Friday) for both missions. There are many facets to the par ish life renewal programme and, in evitably, all of them do not find fav- our with all people, but as the pro- gramme moves on, most of the diffi culties are being ironed out, and many in the parish are'aware of an increas. ing concern, a growing awareness of what it is to be a Christian, and a greater participation in church life among our Anglican community. And this is both the impetus and the ob- ject of the programme. Last Sunday was Mothering Sun- day and the troditional Simnel cake was passed among the congregation. This Sunday is Passion Sunday and there will be Morning Prayer at 11.30. On Wednesday, April 11th, there will be Holy Communion and the Laying On of Hands for Healing, at 10 a.m. On Palm Sunday we will have Rev. G. Baker as guest speaker. The services leading up to Easter will include Holy Communion on Palm Sunday, and services of Holy Com- munion during Holy Week as follows: Monday, 10 a.m.; Tuesday, 7.30 a.m.; Wednesday, 10 a.m. and on Maundy Thursday at 8 p.m. (this service will include the Laying On of Hands for liealing, and also the stripping of the altar). There will be a two-hom service on Good Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. and a joyous celebration of the Holy Communion on Easter day at 11.30. 2 "The north prayer group had its House Communion this morning at the home of.

Where Christ has His way, the CANADA AT WAR The Pastoral Relations Committee met in Prospect Church last Sunday. From many applications, it was agreed to ask Rev. C. C. Gilbert B.D from Gatineau, to come and- preach for a Call on Sunday, April 8th. Rev. Gilbert paid a visit to the Manse last week, and asked for an opportunity to come and meet with our people. We hope that the congregations will be very good on Sunday, and that God will guide us in our choice of a new Minister, The Minister's Theme last Sunday was "The Universal Light", and the Text Galatians 3:28 "There is no such freeman, male and female; for you are all one person in Christ Jesus". He snid that "there is no one too young or too old to know Christ, be- cause Christ is for all ages. That is why we have Sunday Schools, and our fathers had the family pews. Young boys and girls and teenagers are to be reared in the Church if we would have them mature into Christ- inn manhood and womanhood. It is futile to think of allowing them to roam the streets and lanes on Sun- days, and never entering God's Sanc- tuary, and expectiffg that at a given age they will decide to follow Christ and become Christians". In conclu- sion he said that "All have free ac- cess to the love of God in Christ Je- sus. Jesus is the Light of the whole world. He is Light for those who exploit, and also for those who are exploited. Only in His Light will the age-old divisions be removed." The fight between the coloured and white races go on, and is bathed in blood now in Algiers. It will be a long time yet before the negro will be ac- cepted as a brother and an equal by the white races. But friends, time is no object. God is patient. - He has waited so long. He can wait a little loriger. The outcome is beyond ques- barriers of race tease to be. Let us bathe ourselves then in this Universal Light of Love, and realise that i. i 1od's purpose that all humanity be brought together under the banner of Jesus Christ His Son."

He said, "I guess Hazen figured the voters at home wouldn't back him in! that Party. He wants to represent: his constituency." My barber doesn't think there is a much juvenile delinquency today ax there was when he was a kid. "I have a lot of teenagers come in here," he said. "I've been cutting hair on Canadian youngsters for thirty years. in smal towns and in the city. There's not a finer crop of kids anywhere than you get today. They tell you how they want their hair cut. Do it their way and they thank you; muff it by cutting it a bit too short, and they! tell you about it politely.

He often says things to stir up some talk. He is pretty disgusted when a custom- | er would rather agree than have the gumption to argue. I suppose the barber is wrong about some things. My guess would be, though, that his comments are usually before we will be having our yearly Church.:Parade. This usually takes place in the month of June when our Brownies, Guides, Scouts and Cubs attend Scugog "Grace" Church, We! understand also there is to be a Scout Rally for the whole area in the near future.
