L] " MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Notes and Comments The Law is an Ass It was a character created by Dickens who first gave voice to the idea that the law was an ass. Since then it has been repeated by countless others. Sometimes, there seems to be some justification for holding such an opinion. Last week five young men who had been drinking created a brawl at a roadside inn just west of Montreal. When the pro- prietor got in touch with the police, the drunks got into their car and sped east- ward to Montreal on the main highway. A few minutes later, travelling at a high rate of speed they turned out of their proper lane, crossed the centre line and crashed head-on into the oncoming traf- fic. Two young girls, university students from Ontario, were instantly killed. The drunks were shaken up and slightly in- jured. This was one incident. Time and time again drunken drivers are involved in accidents, many of them fatal. Usually, they are not the victims. So often it is the completely innocent who die. There is a crying need for the stiffening of the law with regard to drunk driving. If the law was revised and the criminal code amended so that those who drive and drink would be forced to accept responsi- bility for their actions, we'd have less of _ this sort of thing. Any driver involved in an accident and suspected of being under the influence of ---liquor should be summarily tried and sen- tenced to at least three months in jail. Towards a Better World This week in the United Nations an- other great step towards a better world was made. Some fifty countries headed by Canada pledged one hundred million dollars for food relief to the needy nations. The agreement is for three years. Canada has been working on this pro- ject for some time. ] finally acted upon. The United States has pledged over the next three years vices. Most of the food is surplus food for which the people of the country have subsidized the farmers. It is good to know that much of it will now be put to hu- manitarian uses instead of being uselessly stored in glutted food banks. Canada has pledged ten million, two million in cash and the rest in food stuffs. She is the third largest contributor. All told some fifty countries participated. Some of the smaller countries gave what they could little afford. It reminds us of the story of the widow's mite. _ This week it was --gome-fifty million- dollars in food and ser- 'many of the satellite nations. During that time an investigation should be carried out by the police in collabora- tion with a psychiatrist to compile a brief on the person so convicted. If his record indicates that he is a public menace, his driving licence should be suspended for five years. During that time the police should run a check on him to see that there is no violation. When a violation occurs he should be re-arrested and made to serve the five year term. In the event of a fatal accident, the drunk driver should be tried -and if it is proved that at the time of the accident he was under the influence of liquor he should be summarily sentenced to six months in jail. During that period he should be thoroughly investigated. If he is the kind of person that caused the death of the two girls on the Montreal highways he should be tried on a man- slaughter charge where the minirmaum 'penalty for conviction should not be less than ten years and the maximum life with no remission. Until the law is willing to recognize that the automobile is a dangerous weapon, a killer in the hands of the irresponsible, our highway fatalities will continue to mount. If people are made aware that drunk driving in the eyes of the law is only a degree removed from pre-mediated mur- der, there will be a lot less drunks on the road and fewer highway fatalities. It's time the law stopped being an ass. Strangely enough the Soviet bloc had little to contribute to the programme. This might be a result of the tremendous food shortages which have been reported in Perhaps, the Soviet is already over-committed. The agreement is carefully worked out so that the aid- will result in the greatest possible good for the countries being help- ed. The United Nations has learned a lot about how not to help underdeveloped na- tions. The help that is being given now -is wisely planned and expertly handled so that the country is really benefited by the aid it receives. ' Unplanned charity, as most individuals know, can be really harmful. The hand- inspired by pity cannot hope to achiewg} what true com- passion guided by understanding is able to do. } It, is re-assuring to think that in these troubled times such great good work is being done for those who so desperately need it. It is good to know that our own country had much to do with getting the plan underway. ___votional.
