WOULD AMEND GODE ALLOW, STRAPPING BOY OFFENDERS Crown Attorney McGib- bon Favors Old Fashion. ed Discipline AT KIWANIS CLUB Clubs Should Aid Authorities That the Criminal Code should be amended giving magistrates power to order the administration of a strapping in cases' of young men appearing before police courts, was the statement of J. A, McGib- bon, crown attorney for Oshawa and Ontarjo county, in an address to he Oshawa Kiwanis club today. Mr. McGibbon also declared that the clergy, the service clubs, and other organizations could do a great deal for the assistance of tue officials administrating justice by taking a hold of first offenders and others and aiding them to gv straight when placed on suspended sentence or after serving their term in jail. An interesting history of the ad- ministration of justice. in the coun- ty of Onario was given by Mr. Mc~ Gibbon, who outlined the terms of office of his predecessors. The first crown attorney of the coun- ty, W. H, Tremain, being the first appoint... He served in 1863, when Dr. 8, B, Cochrane was ap- pointed to the position, and was succeeded in 1882 by Col, Fare- well, who gave 41 years of his life to his position. Mr. McGibbon paid tribute to Col. Farewell for being instrumental in having the prov sion of suspended sentence to first offenders inserted in the criminal code of Canada. Col. J. F. Grier- son, K, C., was crown attorney from 1923 to 1927, when Mr. Me- Gibbon was appointed, Duties of Crown Attornty "1 certainly took office under aa- verse conditions, for during the first few months of my tenure we had every crime on the calendar to deal with except murder, and wu have had that since," commented Mr. McGibbon, He outlined the procedure taken in dealing with the various types of cases, and the duties of the: crown attorney in conducting preliminary hearings, county and supreme court cases, general sessions of the peace, and other court sittings. One of the disadvantages of the position, was the fact that the crown atorney was liable o be called out at any hour of the nigh to decide whether men under arrest should be alow- ed out on bail, or to co-operate with he police force in other ways, Boys Chief Offenders "Most of the charges that we have to deal with," said the speaker "are bovs from 16 years of age "to the early twenties, The criminal code, in my opinion, 1s wrong in that it does not allow the magistrate power to order the boy to be strapped--not lashed, for the lash would be too severe in these cases. Young fel- lows today have to easy a tine, they have not enough to do to keep them busy, and | think that the good old method strapping, coupled with the provision of more real work, would be a wonderful deterrent to crime among the youth." Help Them Go Straight Mr. McGibbon cited several cases of young men that had stolen cars or committed other crimes, including one of a man with a wife and one child, who had been sentenced to a term in prison, He wrote to the local authorities shortly before he was due to be released from the in- stitution, asking that a job he found for him as he wanted to come back to Oshawa and start all over again, and make good. There was no em- ployment here, and we could not do anything for him. He had only two alterations left--to buck the world as best he could and try to go straight, or to go back to his life of crime. | am greatly pleased with the steps that the government is taking in endeavoring to establish an or- ganization that will give these men the right hand of fellowship when they come out of jail, And get them started in a good occupation again," he said. Clergy Should help Mr. McGibbon added that the clergy and service clubs in the cities could be of real help to the police court authorities. Every day people came before the court on liquor char- ges or other minor cases, when the intervention of a friendly hand could probably save them from future offences. A reals effort should be made to endeavor to put these men on their feet, he declared. : Speaks of Banking The chairman of the luncheon was Kiwanian W. E. Davis, a director of the club, president A. I. Parkhill be- ing in attendance at the convention of Kiwanis International in Milwau- kee. The "booster" for the day was I. W, Joyce, local manager for the Dominion Bank, who gave a short history of the banking business, He also outlined the security that was given to the bank notes issued by cach of the banks in the Dominion, and declared that an essential in dealings of business men with their bankers was a full confidence of each for the other, especially when loans were being made. Rev. C. E, Cragg, pastor of King street United church, was admitted into the club as a new member, . W. A. Jones, chairman of the agri- cultural committee, stated that the junior farmers of the county were co-operating with enthusiasm in pre- paring exhibits for the junior section of the Oshawa fall fair this year, and that this section of Kiwanis ace tivities should be a real success, The plan, it was said, was to blow away one of the prison walls, offering a way of escape to the more than 60 men involved in the plot, Says Clergy And Service| OSHAWA MAN ON $500 BAIL AFTER ACCIDENT MONDAY TWO TORONTO WO.
