The Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe 5t. 5, Oshawe, Ont, Page 4 Crowe Case Thursday, Jenvery 8, 1959 Principals Impede Healing Process The principals in the now oelebrated Crowe case seem to be persons who do net know when to stop worrying sn ap~ Eument, Prof, Harry B, Crowe was dismissed from the staff of United College, Winni« peg, last September, after a letier he had written to a colleague somehow renched the college prinelpsl, Dr, W, C, Lockhart, After a brisk eontroversy, he was reinstated last month, Dr, Lockhart has resigned as principal, effective Aug, #1, but his resignation hae not been ac- cepted by the college's board of regents the body that managed to build up the affair into a front-page story, Dr, Lockhart has demanded a full~ scale judicial Inquiry into the case, and it is difficult to ses how one can he avolded after this week's exchange he~ tween Dr, Lockhart and Prof, Crowe, The former was quoted in an Interview that Winnipeg detectives who Investi~ goted the matter "found no evidence of tampering with the mails' and thought "the loglesl explanation was "thet the letter had simply been lost and then found by someone who relayed it to the principal, Prof, Crowe lashed back Tuesday with the flat statement that the letter was "stolen from the mail," and thet Dr, Lockhart was trying to create mis~ chief by saying police were satisfied the letter had been lost by the addres see, The professor has made a very seri« ous charge, He should be required to substantiate , The proper place for such action would be a judicls! Inquiry, United College has suffered because of the Crowe case, Well-wishers hoped that the return of Prof, Crowe would mark the start of a healing process, But both the professor and the prinei- pal, It seems, want to keep the wounds open, Now a major operation Is neces sary, Yaaah, You Missed Again We're pleased that Russia's Lunik missed the moon, not because of any desire to crow over a Communist falls wre (this is a failure?) or to rejoice in a revelation of the fallibility of Boviet Jsalentists, but simply because we hope the moon remains inviolate for a while ot, y The scientists assure us that there Is po man in the moon-=indeed, they doubt if there is a living thing of any sort on fis barren surface, They long ago re~ jected the theory that 't was made of green cheese, But they're not absolutes ty sure just what is what on the moon, They were quite certain, for example, that a belt of radiation encircled the earth, outside the earth's atmosphere, but now they find that there are blobs rather than a belt of radiation, It will do the scientists good, toe, If they keep on missing the moon target for a while, They've been getting pret ty prideful of late, with thelr talk of space ships, space platforms and what not, A tie humilty will do them good ~ and it will do the rest of us ignorant creatures a great deal of good if we can learn to laugh at sclence once in » while instead of going around in a state of shivering awe, Humanity Is not vet ready, thank goodness, to make latter-day shrines of Cape Canavarel and the Siberian launching pads, If there sre many more misses, there will be jokes about the bad aim of the scientists == Communistic Jokes as well as capitalistic wisecracks, People will be laughing, and laughter is fine nour» ishment for a sense of proportion, Physique And Character Noting that the tendency to associate physical appearance with mental qualls Aes in an old one and the temptation to "$éad character "by just looking at him" fn equally old= and deceptive ~~ the Christian Science Monitor goes on te comment! There is some justification as regards individuals adults and even youths, Yor experience and = behavior often write thelr record In facial expression, But the search for "lypes" of either depravity or genius has proveolied more popular interest than helpful resulis, Over 78 years ago, an Itallan stus= dent of eriminality, Cesare Lombroso, alter quite honest observations, thought he had discovered the "eriminal type" in its resemblances to primitive men, He revised his conclusions as he pure sued his research, But his first theories 'caught on," And they persist somes what in popular thinking even though later scholars made the embarassing discovery that a number of eminent clergymen and honered statesmen fit» ted, In some respects; Lombroso's early specifications for a "born eriminal Now, out of the annual sessions of the American Soclety of Criminology, comes a report headlined as a finding that physical type is a factor in erimine ality, But the report in more detail sets forth the theory that children from une happy homes are in danger of becoming delinquents, and of these, those with sthletle builds more likely than the others, A Maryland sociologist, Dr, Peter J, Legins, commenting on the report, ob served that youths of athletie bulld might have a tendency to become "men of action" and take out the results of thelr unhappy and confused ehildhood in overt acts against soclety, (The less hardy, we deduce, might only hrood or channel thelr protests Into unvielent forms), At any rate, the significant factor is the unhappy home, Otherwise, the athe letically bullt youngster might Just as likely turn out to he another Bob Pettit or a Rey, Robert Richards, Children's Accidents Accidents are the leading cause of death and permanent disability in eohildhood, according to Dv, F, W, Jeffs frey, chairman of the Ontario Medloal Association's committee on child wels fare, Writing in Health, he points out that 'four out of very ten fatalities among Ontario children between the ages of one and fourteen are due to aes cldents, and 80 per cent of them are preventable" He says that three factors which aps» ply to childhood accidents, whether they ocour on the road, at home or on the water, are the nature of the child, his social environment and his physical environment, All three factors are shaped by the parents, and "hat ia where the great part of the responaibls lity lies, 1 ye Gshoroo Times LW WILSON.

As was noted yesterday the chances ave as the year atari that the government will have another whopping win In the gen. eral election Where then does this leave the Liberals and the CCF? It leaves them, the observer would say, In the position where they should concentrate on trys Ing to return with a substantial number of seats rather than ats tempting to win a government, OPPORTUNITY GONE For the past while it haa been conceded that there was a pow sible opening--remaote, but still therefor an upset of the govern ment It veflected a certain "tired ness' and there were a number of local situations whieh put in dividual seats in Jeopardy Hut tough a combination of the clreumstances that the Lib eral and CCF groups never took advantage of these weaknesses never, for instance, really exploited the gas explosions--and that Premder Frost has now rgely corrected them the open they ng most probably has gone NEXT ONE A veteran in the goverament vanka, a real 'old pro' has oon alatently held that the next eles: tion would not represent much of a test to the government, "But In the one after that," he has sald, "look out," And It would seem he is right, The simple fact 1s that neither opposition party Is really ready yet, And it Is most unlikely they will be able to pick up much be- tween now and election time, The CCF has shown many signa of being in the rut, There has pan tloularly been a lack of any fresh thought In {ts approach for some time, And the Liberals despite siren uous efforts to grow a new coat haven't many fresh halrs shows ing yet LIRERALS NEED ORGANIZER Everqone, eluding the Liber als themselves, knows that their orying need is for a powerful op ganizer to build a machine behind Mr, Wintermeyer, Rut they have not come up With the man, and until they do they won't make much real pros Hoss The best approach of both groups therefore would seem to he to concentrate on selected seats and aim at strengthening their present groups in the house They then could build for the nest dlection As IL stands at present ane Would say iF they came back with 30 seats they would have fought an excellent election and done better than reasonably could be expected of them MAC'S MEANDERINGS Weather Prov ides ~ Grudging Welcome By M.
