he Osha Times | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ont. 'age 4 Tuesday, June 9, 1959 Public Right To Check Court Record Affirmed - 2 A newspaper has successfully de- fended the right of a reporter to exam- he court records. The Supreme Court af Alberta ordered an Albertan magis- ate to make records available to the Qalgary Herald for examination, The gpplication for an order of mandamus was made after the magistrate refused fo allow a newspaper reporter to ex- amine the records of cases heard on April 2. M. his decision Mr, Justice Greschuk cited as an authority an act passed by the British Parliament more than five centuries ago. English common law has always held that "inspection of court records is available to the public." It has long been recognized that news- papers are representatives of the public sinterest and in statutory law "the pub- lic" and "the press' are synonymous. The decision of the Supreme Court of Alberta is important to all branches of public administration. Within the frame- work of our democratic constitution a provincial supreme court is a higher au- thority than a provincial legislature, in assessing the validity of law. The Su- préme Court of Canada is a higher authority than Parliament in the same respect. As The Sudbury Star points out newspapers are constantly fighting for the right of the public to be informed. In the course of their duties newspaper reporters do encounter those who fail to recognize the public right. The press seldom finds it necessary to have the public right re-asserted through the courts, but when such occasions do: arise, another blow is struck for freedom of the press and the right of the public to be informed. Name For A New Dam The name by which the South Sas- + katchewan dam will be known to pos- ferity may cause as much argument as the "Boulder Dam," which now bears , the name of Herbert Hoover, former U.S. president- who has had a distin- ~ guished career as an engineer. The Moose Jaw Times-Herald argues that it should be named for the Right Hon. James J. Gardiner. Almost from the first year of the 22 that Mr. Gardiner, former federal agriculture minister, held office, he was "en advocate of the use of the waters of =the South Saskatchewan river to round "*out the province's economy, the Moose : «Jaw paper recalls, :*= The first undertaking was the con- . sstruction of the system by which water J"Strom the river was made available to "Moose Jaw by a pumping station at the AAA LLL EY * jver, an open canal that delivered the The Ontario Traffic Conference has Ibrought out the contention that the sleepy driver is as bad as the intoxica- '*<ted driver when it comes to presenting "- "=a menace on ve ve the streets and highways. There is a great deal of sense to that Sepinion expressec by Police Inspector Gordon Preston of Windsor, Safety au- thorities have been urging the drowsy drivers to get off the road and take a nap but still the accident frequency of sleepy drivers cortinues to rise. The convenience provided by the automobile is probably the number one eause for people taking chances with weariness when driving. People insist upon staying late at some affair before driving home. They pride themselves on how far they ean drive in one day And they fight against any brief period water to a sand-basin reservior. Then as the need of Regina for a more assur- ed source of water became pressing, Mr, Gardiner started the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation authorities on the task of devising a system for harnessing the river for a much more extensive agri- cultural and industrial use. The dam will greatly benefit the dry Palliser Triangle, but the Pallizer name is already given to that arid stretch and to a hotel. Says the Times-Herald: "Why not name the dam after Mr Gardiner, the immense artificial lake after George Spence, the director of the PFRA, the immense irrigation tract af- ter Prime Minister Diefenbaker, and the secondary dam on the Qu'Appelle Val- ley after the late Dr. L. B. Thomson, under whose guidance the big project was engineered and the plans develop- ed?" : Sleepy Driver Menace of rest along the way for fear it would interfere with some unnecessary sche- dule. But the traffic conference might also have called attention to some other causes of accident. What about the par- ents who allow their children in the back seat to raise nerve-jarring Ned while on a trip? Or the husband-and- wife team who are snarling at each oth- er? . It would seem that all the advice that is poured out about how accidents hap- pen and how they can be prevented is not going to have nearly as much ef- fect as the demerit point system, now in force in Ontario, The sleeping driver must remember that his snooze can re- sult in him coming close to losing his licence even if he wakes up in a hospi- tal. End Of A Convention The suspension of the Rush-Bagot Convention inspires the following thoughtful comment in the St. Peters- burg (Fla.) Times Nearly a century and a half ago--in 1817, to be exact -- the United States and Canada entered into what is known as the Rush-Bagot Convention urpose of this agreement was to in- sure the disarmament of the U.S.-Can- sdian border, Among other provisions was one forbidding any naval vessels on the Great Lakes beyond four gunboats each. not to exceed 100 tons. Word of suspension of such an agree- ment between almost any two other na- tions on earth might occasion great alarm on both sides of a border But the Rush-Bagot Convention is be- ing suspended, and within a few months there will be bota U.S, and Canadian warships in the shared waters--and both nations are ver, happy about it The occasion for this unusual depart- ure from the norm is that both we and the Canadians wish to be able to fire Fhe Oshawa Time 7.

This will be the meet- ing of Queen Elizabeth of Canada (and Great Britain) and President Eisenhower at ceremonies dedicating the great new St. Lawrence Seaway. This celebration of a joint project of major importance to the economy and security of North America's two greatest states provides the best answer to a spate of disagreement recently appearing in The Times Forum One reader (American) rashly and, in our opinion, foolishly, declared that we should demand that Canada give us a 200-mile-wide "corridor" along the Pacific from our border to Alaska Canadians--of whom there are many who reside or winter here promptly and crushingly squelched this idea Logic was all on their side. . When Canada and the United States can jointly finance, build, own and con- trol a communications artery as import- ant as the Seaway, when they jointly build and operate the DEW and other radar networks indispensable to the safety of both, when for 142 years under a document as casual as the Rush-Bagot Convention they have shared a 3,000 mile unfortified border, talk of "corrid- ors" is absurd. The true corridor for both nations lies in the hearts of each other -- in their mutual respect and affection. That is worth a thousand times any treaty ever written Other Editor's Views CASTRO OF THE FUTURE (St, Catharines Standard) It 'is too earl; to pass an opinion on the Cuban Premier, but men of his character have found it easy to con- vince themselves that they alone have the magic formula to save the nation. Such apparently dedicated young men have in the past provided the world with some of it's greatest reformers, as well as some of the greater despots. Castro and his followers have a gi- gantic task in restoring democracy to Cuba, but in similar cases it did not re- + quire the four years that Castro has in- dicated will be required. 7 AT ee Se fo -- Move [| \ 77 Att I SAID WAS WHAT DOES IT COST HE SAID A NAUGHTY WORD "MAC'S MEANDERINGS British Welcome Ennual Invasion By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London,"England Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- With the coming of the month of June, the inva. sion of the United Kingdom by visitors from all parts of the world has started, It is not yet in full flood, but even a casual ob- server here in London can see that the tourist season is here, with its hopes that before it is over, more than a million and a half people will have come to these shores on pleasure bent this year, That was the figure re- corded in 1958. This year's total is likely to be much higher, judging from the initial rush of tourists. This peaceful invasion of the British Isles by holiday-makers was very evident when I was out at the London Airport this after- noon, watching the steady stream of air liners coming in to land and to deposit their passengers on British soil. They seemed to be coming in only three or four minutes apart. They were planes from many countries -- Canada, the United States, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Fran ce, Holland and even Ireland and they looked lke typical tourists of a rather prosperous: type--the type most welcomed in Britain. In the city, the annual signs of FOR BETTER HEALTH the tourist influx have made their appearances. The sight - seeing buses, loaded with people, and with the guide chanting his story of historic London into a micro- phone, are again wending their way along the Strand and Fleet street, and up Ludgate Hill to St. Paul's Cathedral. They are add- ing their quota to the congestion which daily occurs along the Fleet street bottleneck. I can watch from my office window as these tourists scan the buildings on either side of Newspaper Row on the way to St. Paul's. Doing my rounds at the House of Commons and along Whitehall, 1 again saw abundant signs that the tourist season had arrived. In the square near the main en- trance to Westminster Abbey, I counted over a dozen sightseeing buses parked and waiting, while their passengers went the rounds of the Abbey. Inside, 1 saw the solemn voiced vergers reciting their story of the famous peaple buried within the Abbey to the groups of visitors gathered around them, Most of the visi tors seemed to come from the United States and Canada judg- ing from the accents I heard in the crowd. HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT It was the same thing when I went across to the House of Com- mons. The parties were smaller there, as is the custom, but they Babies Have Defenses Against Some Diseases HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD I have often heard new par. ents look at their infant son or daughter and say "Poor baby, he (or she) is so defenseless." These parents, and probably your, too, would be surprised at a baby's defenses. While he can't ward off physi. cal blows, of course, he does have a pretty good defensive system against at least some diseases BASIC DEFENSE A baby's basic urally, is hic skin. He is also protected by the germ killing characteristics of his tears, sa Hva and gastric juices. The white cells in his blood and lymph system also help in any battle against disease Most babies receive tempo. rary immunity to certain dis eases through their mothers Thus they are protected from such infectious diseases as polio measles, smallpox and = diph theria Usually, this protection laste anywhere from three to six months, depending upon the mother's immunity LITTLE IMMUNITY However, there is relatively little or no passive Immunity conferred upon babies against chickenpox, whooping cough and specific types of diarrhea Here is where we must take a hand to aid the baby's de fenses. Whooping cough, espe cially. is so serious in an infant that immunization must be pro- vided within a few months, That's why doctors generally ad- minister routine immunization against whooping cough, smallpox, tetanus and polio dur- ing the third month of life. Booster shots are usually given between the ages of one year . In some cases, additional periodically through childhood. DIFFERENT STORY While normal, healthy babies have conciderable "hmilt-in" nro. tection, it is a different story infants. wh premature defense, nat Anemia, for example, is sel. dom serious in a full-term child. In a premature baby, however, it often presents grave dangers. Often premature infants also suffer from cyanosis, which gives their skin a bluish tinge, And pulmonary hyaline mem. brane, a disease affecting lung tissies, sometimes la found in premature babies, QUESTION AND ANSWER JV.

In the Lords' Chamber, the Lords' Court of Appeal, the highest court in the land, was sitting, and many of the visitors were obviougly amused at the sight of the much be-wigged counsel arguing their case. Many of the visitors whom 1 saw were frankly surprised at the drab and dingy appearance of the House of Commons, as compared with the ornate red and gold dec- orations and historic paintings in the House of Lords. They were told, in a solemn voice, by the custodians, that this was done deliberately because the House of Commons was representative of the common people of the land, and a plain chamber had been decreed. Some were surprised when they were prevented from sitting down in the seats of the mighty. Several wished to sit in the speaker's chair, or in the chair of the prime minister. This is strictly forbidden by the regu- lations. ALL OVER THE CITY All over the city one sees the groups of tourists seeing London on foot, The crowds on Trafalgar have increased tenfold in the last' week or so, and one hears many languages and accents among those engaged in feeding the pigeons. The sellers of little tins of grain, at sixpence a tin, for pigeon-feeding, are reaving a rich harvest, as are the itin- erant photographers, although most of the tourists have their own cameras, and delight in tak- ing movies of the Trafalgar Square scene. Down on the Thames, the river pleasure boats, plying to and fro, are jammed with tourists on these fine sunny days we are enjoying over here, making trips down to the Tower bridge and Greenwich, and up the river past Putney and Mortlake to Kew Gardens, Richmond and Hamp- ton Court. The season has start- ed early, because of the excen- tionally fine weather, which is quite a contrast from last year, when June was a month of tor- rential rains, AN INVITATION From a personal standpoint, my wife and 1 welcome the ad- vent of the tourist season, be- cause it is sure to bring many Canadian friends to the office and to our home, as was the case last summer. They have already started coming, and glad we are to see them. To our readers, who are visit- ing London, we would like to issue an invitation to call on me at my office in the Scotsman buflding, at 63 Fleet Street, on the corner of Bouverie street, They can be assured of a warm welcome, and perhaps we can help to arrange things for them to make thelr visit more inter- esting and enjoyable. 1 will be lad to assist any of my Cana- ian readers in any way I can And to help them make contact with me, the tel number is Fleet Street 1506, Extension 126.
