Three court cases much in the news of late have emphasized this need. In the Hamilton "torso murder" case statements al- legedly made Evelyd Dick were admitted by the "trial judge and later were thrown out by the court of appeal. Also statements made by the used in the Ronald Sears case at Windsor suffered a similar fate as did those in the case of Sidney Chambers convicted of the slaying of a nine-year-old girl at St. Catharines. . R. M, Harrison of The Windsor Star takes a stand with which we heartily agree when he says: "Before this becomes a habit over-costly to the taxpayers, before public faith in the wisdom of trial judges is destroyed, admissibility or non- admissibility of such evidence should be definitely chalked up on the"blackboard for the guidance of all concerned. Nor is the present situation good for police morale. It's a let- A vn when ~** ers take confessions, only to discover they are 'confessions'." Many Kinds of Bootlegging "So much has been said about bootlegging liquor, that there is a rather general assumption that there is no other kind of bootlegging than that which has to do 'with intoxicat- ing beverages," says the Napanee Beaver, then adds® "The truth of the matter is that whenever there is a scarcity of any commodity, there is bootlegging. And strange as it may seem, many a man who would refuse absolutely to bootleg liquor, does not hesitate to bootleg cars or trucks. There are those who because of a priority or some other reason get the right to purchase a car now that cars are in great demand, and go right out and sell it the next day at an en- hanced price. This sort of practice is reprehensible. There is not one bit of difference between the man who hangs around the back alley and bootlegs a bottle of booze, and the man who buys a car and bootlegs it the next day at an ad- vance in price;: The principle is absolutely the same. In both cases, the intent of the law has been broken. In both cases the insatiable desire for money is the dominating motive. There is probably no way in which the present boot- legging in cars can be stopped. Of course, the honest dealer in cars will be somewhat more careful after he sees what has happened. He will try and put his cars in the hands of peo- ple who can be trusted. Bootleggers éannot be trusted, whether they deal in cars, or booze. People will probably remember that long after the supply of new cars puts him out of his dishonest business." ¥ : A Unique Fitting Honor At no cost to Canada a unique honor in the history of this Dominion has been unanimously bestowed upon the late Jack Miner by members of The Canadian Parliament and Senate for his conservation and humane work at Kingsville, Ontario. |, - An energetic Kingsville citizen 'by the name of Mr. Arthur Allen, who had known Jack Miner from childhood, conceived the idea of a Jack Miner day for Canada, and as soon as he suggested this to the Hon. John R. MacNichol, M.P., the latter drafted a bill asking the Government of Canada by an act of Parliament to set aside a week starting April 10th as National Wild Life Week, it being the birthday of the late Jack Miner. It is such an appropriate time of the year, as the birds are returning from the South to Canada's nesting grounds and summer quarters, thousands of them alighting for the food and rest at the Miner sanctuary, as 23 on Guaranteed | Jo Trust Certificates Issvep for any amount... .for a term of five years... . guaranteed both as to principal and interest , + « « Interest cheques mailed to "reach holders on due date, or, at holder's option, may be allowed to accumulate at compound interest.

CORPORATION Sterling Tower, Toronto $6 years in Busines has been reported in the past few weeks, and, in fact for many years, The fact that the Bill passed both the Parliament and the Senate unanimously without a dissenting voice from any party, but on the contrary, with words of praise and tribute, are evidence of the esteem in which Jack Miner and his work is held in Canada. Hon. J. R. MacNichol has done Canada, and more particularly those interested in wild bird life a real service in sponsoring the bill. When funds permit, The Jack Miner Foundation plans to make reprints of Jack Miner's famous lectures on conser- vation and release them to the schools of Canada. .The nine Provincial Premiers have co-operated and given The Jack Miner Foundation the names of every school and school teacher in the Dominion. If funds are available, a special edition of Jack Miner's book entitled, "Jack Miner and the Birds," will be sent to. every school.

A buyers' strike: is sweeping the na- tion. Canadian housewives are up in arms against continually rising prices, particu- larly on food items. Dollar hungry corporations are swal- lowing family income by excessive price increases that are robbing Canadian homes of the necessities of life. As a result of price increases corporation profits in 1946 increased by as much as 200 per cent to 300 per cent, with even bigger profits forecast for 1947. . Food prices have increased 21.6 points since April 1945 and by 16.5 points since April 1946. They have increased by over 6 points since the start of this year. Proof that wages are NOT the cause of high prices is the fact that the Canadian Congress of Labor reports that in 1946 only one in six wage earners received a wage raise. Indeed, on the basis of 1944 average wages, and in view of price rises since then, the average Canadian worker has suffered a weekly loss of $4.00 in what his wages will actually buy. Representing the organized workers in this community, the Oshawa and Dis- trict Labor Council urges merchants and businessmen to join labor in demanding that the government re-establish price controls, There is the odd merchant who has tried to reduce prices for a week or two. This lone action is futile. The whole community must be involved. Joint ac- tion by the retailer and consumer will soon force the grasping profiteers to reduce their prices. It is as patriotic now as it was during the war to keep prices down. Let us unite to cut prices by at least 10 per cent until price control is re-established. Continually rising prices are a threat to the nation. - Oshawa and District Labor Council ROSTER OF AFFILIATED UNIONS OSHAWA LOCAL 222, UNITED AUTOMOBILE WORKERS OF AMERICA LOCAL 1817, UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA LOCAL 205, FUR & LEATHER WORKERS UNION LOCAL 2784, UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA LAD.ES AUXILIARY, LOCAL 222 -- UNITED AUTOMOBILE WORKERS OSHAWA CIVIC EMPLOYEES UNION BAKERS and DAIRYMENS' INDUSTRIAL UNION WHITBY 2 LOCAL 2458, UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA LOCAL 218, FUR & LEATHER WORKERS UNION | BOWMANVILLE LOCAL 189, UNITED RUBBER WORKERS OF AMERICA LOCAL 2375, UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA
