FRSC., for- merly professor of English at Mec- Gill University, Montreal, and now a resident of Whitby, declared that this is no time to repudiate our gadgets, including the United Na- tions the greatest gadget of them all. It is no time, he said further, for a retreat to mere authority for authority's sake -- whether it be that of the church, the army, big business or the labor move- ment. Rather, it is a time calling for the creative energy of the in- formed and alert individ is more enlightenment, said Pro- fessor Phelps, more generally dis- tributed knowledge, in the world today than ever before. We know about Asia, about Europe, about the near and far east. The know- ledge is our responsibility and challenge, he declared. Made sus- picious of everything by political Jivpaganda and é&ommerical ad- vertising, we are tempted into cynicism. But cynicism can be, in reality, wholesome disillusion- ment, a step towards the truth. CONSTI CHALLENGE Another seemingly negative an- alysis may 'be turned into a posi- tive find, Professor Phelps stated. + The broadening of the curriculum ual. There' land the slackening of arbitrary discipline in the schools may make for temporary confusion, but, in a reality, it is a challenge to go on to understand the principles of inner discipline. Professor Phelps did not think that the boys and girls are being ruined by our present day schools; her merely suggested the need for constant care in analysing the pro- cesses and effects of education -- whether it be called progressive or otherwise. ONLY ONE WORLD Professor Phelps stated that in circles familiar to him there was much talk of "the threat to the humanities," and the "menace" of technological and "practical'"' edu- cation. He said he considered much of the talk meaningless be- cause it attempted to make two worlds out of values and activi- ties which are mutually inclusive. He quoted Thomas Huxley's vers- es: 'An exclusively scientific train- ing will bring about a mental twist as surely as an exclusive liter- ary training." '"'There are not two worlds but one for all of us," he declared. '"'Our job is to under- stand and use our own glorious past and our magnificent present.

The speaker was introduced by Prof. L. Hiempel, a former McGill professor, who is a resident of the town and a member of the Club.

(256b) Two Youths Are Jailed Following The The Whitby youth who informed on his three friends about a break- ing and entry at the Laurie Dav- idson service station has talked himself into one month in jail. Gordon Stephenson, who, his three accomplices state, informed police of the offence because of a quarrel, was yesterday denied a suspended sentence by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs, who stated that he could not be- lieve the contradictions he had made in the witness box. Stephen- son was given credit however for providing. enough information to ad to the arrest of Willaim Pal- mer, 18, Shirley Hicks, 18 and Jan- ette Dyer, 17, who, along with Stephenson, were charged follow- ing police investigation into the breaking and entry of the service station at the Brock Road. Palmer, charged with breaking and entry and theft, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three months in jail. Shirley Hicks and Janette Dyer, after entering Pleas of guilty to charges to receiving stolen goods, were placed on suspended sentence. Stephenson, also charged with re- ceiving, and the only one of the quartet repr ted 1 was sentenced to one month in at when His Worship stated that e could not possibly give him a suspended sentence after hearing the accused make such contradic- tory statements in the witness box. When the charges were first read out, Janette Dyer and Steph- enson both pleaded not guilty. Miss Dyer was later to change her plea. The court proceeded with the Stephenson charge first and inter- rupted the proceedings on two oc- casions while Palmer and Miss Hicks were sentenced before being allowed to give Crown evidence against Stephenson. Laurie Davidson, proprietor of the service station located at the intersection of the Brock Road and Highway 2, told the Court that he had been absent from his service station from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. on the night of October 22nd. He said that when he returned he found that the front door of the building was open and later saw that meone had entered the store through a rear window. Miss- ing, he claimed, were cigarettes valued at $50 and silver amounting to $35. Also missing was a Webley revolver. CLAIMS PROMISES Constable Bob Masters, of the Pickering Towhship Police Depart- ment, was called to give evidence of a statement made by Stephen- son. The Constable stated that after Siphenson had surrendered to the Whitby Police and had been brought to Pickering he had made a statement concerning the break- ing and entry. George Boychyn, defence council, suggested the officers taking the statement had ft Charge at first understand what Stephen- son was talking about and later was led to a field near the Ontario Ladies' College where a suitcase was found with a quantity of cig- arettes. He stated that at that time Stephenson had claimed that Palm- er had entered the garage and had committed the thefts of the money, cigarettes and he revolver. The suitcase, Constable Quinton stat- ed, was alleged to belong to Janette Dyer. USED STEPHENSON'S SOCKS At this point in the Fpceedings, Court was adjourned for ten - utes and following reconvening, the matter concerning Stephenson was temporarily adjourned in order that Palmer could be sentenced be- fore giving Crown evidence. Con- stable Masters then read a state- ment made by Palmer in which he admitted entering the garage and stealing $15 in silver, four cartons of cigarttes and the re- volver. In the statement, Palmer claimed that he had used Stephen- son's socks to cover his hands in order that no fingerprints would be left on anything. He stated in cross-examination that later Steph- enson had - threatened to shoot Janette Dyer when she quarreled with Stephenson and wanted to go home. He also claimed that al- though Stephenson had not urged him to enter the premises, it was Stephenson who had told him where the money was kept in the store. Upon learning that Palmer had been convicted of a similar of- fence at an earlier occasion, His worship saw fit to sentence Pal- mer to three months in the County aol. Palmer was at this point called upon by Crown Attorney Alex. Hall, QC, to give Crown evidence in the case involving Stephenson. Palmer stated that Stephenson, contrary to what he had said, had been standing at the inter- section while the entry was being made. He further stated that Stephenson had given him his socks to wear on his hands to prevent fingerprints being found and added that Stephenson had been given his share of the loot. He said that Stephenson later be- came angry with Janette Dyer and "thought he would get even with ther by going to the police." He stated that Shirley Hicks had re- ceived only one or two eof the cigar- ettes since she did not smoke, CLAIMS THREAT MADE Shirley Hicks was then called for sentence. Her statement was read to the court in which she also claimed that Stephenson had given his socks to Palmer to make the entry. In cross-examination she stated that Stephenson had threat- ened to shoot both Janette .Dyer and herself when they wanted to go home. She was released on sus- offered pr to Steph but this was denied by both Constable Masters and Constable William Daniels who followed him to the box. Stephenson was called and he claimed that the two officers had told him that they would take it easy on him if he made a state- ment. His Worship allowed the state- ment in which Stephenson denied entering of the store and claimed that he and the two girls saw nothing more of Palmer after he left them to enter the store until they met again in Pickering. 'The statement claimed that he had re- ceived only two packs of the cig- arettes. Constable Jim Quinton, of the Whitby Police Department, stated that he had been parked in the police cruiser at the main inter- section in Whitby on the night of October 24th when Stephenson ap- roached him and announced "I now who stole the cigarettes." The constable stated that he did not P t for a period of one year in custody of Lieut. Fife of the Salvation Army who stated that he would make the necessary arrangements to have her estab- lished in either the home of her aunt in Whitby or grandmothr in hawa. SAW NOTHING Stephenson was then placed on the stand to give his defence. On this occasion he denied knowin anything about any breakin unt he was shown the cache of cigar- ettes and the on the following day. He denied ever having given Palmer his socks and claimed that he had received only two packs of cigarettes from Palmer, hinking Palmer had Ruchased them. Shortly Stephenson found himself entangled in his own evidence as iven in a-statement as agains e evidence given in the witness box. 'Is there any other story you would like to tell?" asked Magis- trate Ebbs. Crown Attorney Hall observed at THE WHOLE BUSINESS includin, Owner actually sacrificing to ol home as part of down payment.
