hye Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Monday, September 28, 1959 Durham School Problem Inches Toward Solution Bowmanville council's desire to get some straight thinking on the Durham high school question has undoubtedly brought about some measure of sup port for the high school board, Thurs day night's meeting in Bowmanville of the eight municipalities involved show- ed unanimity on two points, namely, a desire to do the best possible thing for the students, and a desire to sup- port the board. The desires, however, are mixed with the worries of councillors about their own peculiar problems, Most council members are naturally concern- ed with the distances their students will have to travel. They are also cons- cious that a school building will not only bring a little prestige, but also a fair amount of employment in its wake. It would be althogther too naive to believe the councils were not concerned about such matters. However, as de- partment of education representative W. J. Stewart told the meeting, the councils should be guided by the high school board which is less likely to nar- row its horizons. The fact is that the high school situation in Durham is acute; the councils are fully aware of it, and the municipal boundaries should not be considered in the light of need in the school area. It would appear from the meeting that the high school board has wrung a grudging consent for two schools from the councils. It will meet next week to present its fourth plan for new schools for ratification from the councils. It appears that six at least of the eight councils will support the plan this time to allow two schools to be built. Hope and Clarke townships have not committed themselves. Hope township has mentioned it believes such a meet- ing as that held Thursday is "illegal," but did not advance any reasons for such thinking. Clarke township appar ently wants time out to review the situation Therefore it is possible that the high school board this time might even get a unanimous assent to go ahead with plans which have already got the bless= ing of the department of education. Tough Talk And Crime Tough talk about treatment of crim- {nals is being applauded by some edi- torial writers. But their arguments are more emotional than rational, One writer quoted Sessions Judge J. Redmond Roche of Montreal, who said he had begun to wonder about the mer- its of rehabilitation; this was after hearing the twelfth case in a month in which a youth who had already served time in a prison "training centre" was charged with another crime. Also quo- ted was the expressed belief of FBI di- rector J. Edgar Hoover that jail sen- tences should be more in the public in- terest than in the interest of the of- fender. Having noted the rather murky re- marks of the two distinguished gentle- men, the writer concludes that "rehab- {litation, as practised by social work- ers and penologists today, is not work= ing out in practice the way the theor- ists predicted." That conclusion is typical of the dis- mally archaic thinking about crime and punishment that has prevented a more rapid development of enlightened treat- ment of offenders against society Our rehabilitation programs, provin= elal and federal, cannot be considered either a success or a failure -- they are too pitifully small to warant any such final decisions. Efforts are being made to expand them, but progress is slowed by the sort of short-sighted opposition indicated by the editorialist quoted above. Too many people expect a jail term to convince the offender that "erime doesn't pay" (an absurd phrase that implies that if crime did pay it would be much more respectable). Jail is the simple, complete solution, : In fact, jail is no solution at all, if it is not fitted into a larger pattern of treatment of criminals. We must know what impels the offender to offend; we must know how best the punishment is to be administred, so that it is at once a punishment and an effective prepara- tion for a return to society; and we must know how to: receive the offend- er back into society. The history of penology tells us that erime flourished in the days of the most brutal treatment of prisoners. Punishment alone, no matter how se- vere, does not prevent crime and does not prevent criminals from repeating their crimes. Indeed, its effect may be exactly opposite to the desired one; the first offender aH too often is thrown in with hardened crimi and his term becomes intensive course in law-breaking. Then when an his term, the law 1als an offender has served says he has "paid his debt to society." But society does not think so. Because he has been in prison, he is a marked man; he finds it diffi- cult to get jobs, to support himself with honest work. Society makes him pay and repay, What wonder that so often he becomes an enemy of society? Yet the treatment of an offender after he has paid his debt is an important part of rehabilitation. : There is an economic argument, too, in favor of the more enlightened treat- ment. Society must support every one of its prisoners. It must feed them, clothe them and house them. And it is much more expensive to do all this than to keep them from prison in the first place or from returning to it in the second. Training Delinquents Firm is the belief of many people that delinquent children are largely products of delinquent parents. The training, or lack of it, received in the home, is the key to how a child will be- have when he reaches his teens. With this thouhgt in mind a police depart- ment has recently issued a leaflet en- titled "Twelve Rules For Raising De- linquent Children." We reprint these rules below with the suggestion that all parents read them ovef and then compare their own behavior toward their children. If you are following . many of these 12 rules, then perhaps it is time for a new approach to your children. \ 1. Begin with infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living. 2. When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think he's cute. It will also encourage him to The Osho Tomes 7. L.

Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful that the silverware and drinking glass- es are sterilized, but let his mind feast on garbage, 7. Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. In this way they will not be too shocked when the home is broken up, later. 8. Give a child all the spending mo- ney. he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you had them? 9. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See that every sen- sual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration 10. Take his part neighbors, teachers, policemen. They are all pre- judiced against your child. 11.

Mr. Delaute left his longtime job at Government Heuse at the end of 1958, and has long since taken up his more vivid new post as Town Manager, or Mayor, of The Hub of our Eastern Arctic, Frobisher Bay, on Baffin Island Fluttering outside the U. 8.

Last July 4, the presi. dent decreed, a new flag became official, showing the addition of Alaska as a state, the 49 repre- sentative stars being arranged in seven rows of seven. As from July 4, next year, the elevation of Hawaii to statehood will be recognized by the addition of a 50th star; the stars spangling the banner will then be arranged in nine 'staggered rows each con- taining six or five stars alter- nately. Meanwhile, the U.S. Em- bassy here is nearly three months late in reflecting its boss's decree FAREWELL TO G-G Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker was host at a farewell banquet to former Lib- eral cabinet minister Charles Vincent Massey last week, on the eve of Mr. Massey's departure from Government House. Conser- vative politicians, representative of all three levels of Canada's governments, rallied to make it a memorable party for the time- expired Governor-General. Absent were fellow Liberals. Among these eligible as guests who did not attend were the only living Liberal ex-prime minister, Louis St. Laurent, who nominated Mr. Massey for the job; the only Lib- eral provincial premier, Joseph R. Smallwood; and the leader of the Liberal party, Hon. Lester Bowles Pearson. WHAT MAKES MONEY TIGHT? Dr. W. H. McMillan, the double- threat polivician-surgeon of Wel- land, tells me "We have a new clinic and I am very interested in seeing it get properly under way. As to myself, I am working very hard at medicine. and have almost forgotten politics." But he shows his continuing awareness of our public affairs, even when immersed in his new clinic dur- ing the parliamentary recess, by criticising Finance Minister Fleming's argument that the $200,000,000 borrowed by indus- try this year is responsible for pushing up interest rates. "This," says the Liberal finance critic, "is just peanuts beside the $2.2 billion which Mr. Fleming requires or is refinancing DMs year." FAMOUS TOURIST Prime Minister John Diefen- baker, accompanied by Mrs. Diefenbaker and his private sec- retary, Vancouver lawyer Gowan Guest, is touring Quebec prov- ince by car and train this week. Starting in the Laurentians, then passing through the Eastern Townships and Levis, he plans to make the much-praised touristic circuit of the real "old Quebec" communities round the Gaspe. QUEEN'S PARK BY-GONE DAYS 17 YEARS AGO Commissioner Thomas Wilson, territorial commander of the Sal. vation Army for North China, ac- companied by Mrs. Wilson, paid a special visit to the Oshawa Citade! to conduct a series of meetings, showing their work among the people of Korea. An extension was under way at Ajax Hospital, which had been a great credit to the community. Since its opening two years ago, it had been equipped with the most modern facilities, including a staff of 3 nurses and eight physicians, under the supervision of Dr J. R. Card. Realizing the imperative, al- most desperate need for salvage material used for production of war equipment members of the Oshawa Salvage Board arranged for a one<day salvage campaign in the city. The suggestion that the en- forcement of all war Acts, regu- lations and orders be undertaken by the Dominion authorities and that their administration be han- dled by one court throughout Can- ada as a means of bolstering the public morale. was put forward by Attorney-General G. D. Con- ant, KC, in an address to the members of the Oshawa Rotary Club. A shortage of men which hit the post office due to the war effort, had reduced the number of daily deliveries in some parts of the city to one per day. With 83 donors present at the Oshawa Blood Donor Service, an- other record attendance. was broken. Many d ants of builders congregated at Almonds Church on the occasion of the 106th anniversary services. Col. R. 8S. McLaughlin accepted the position of Hon. chairman and Mayor Dr. W. H.

For Bob gave an example that could well be followed more around here He took the Lakes Huron and Erie nollution problem quickly in hand. He visited the area and made a positive statement (or at least he was so reported). He said 1. There would be changes in the Fuel Board Act to control pollution, 2. No drilling in Lake Huron would be permitted until he was satisfied there would be no pol- lution CAN BE CERTAIN "Every persor living on the Lake Huron shore" could be cer- tain of that, he declared. Nice going. It is seldom one gets so forthright a statement from an Ontaric cabinet minis- ter, Which is one reason some of us think the young head of the nergy Department will go far He is not afraid to speak his mind (and has something in it to speak about). WATER "STEAL"? A potential problem of the fu- ture may require all the power of the MacAulay mind and sev- eral others. J More and more people are thinking we should take more and more water from Lake Huron to serve more and more SO ni i Metro Toronto is the t in on the dream A member of council has pro posed the whole Metro area of latest to ge should be supplied from Huron. And what is the U.S. going to say about this? We have battled with both fists, so far successfully, to stop Chi- cago taking further water from Lake Michigan. And now we would suggest taking even more water from Lake Huron, The premier is inclined to treat the whole thing lightly. Water taken would eventually be returned (through the sewers of southern Ontario) to the Great Lakes system, he says. But most of it would come out of Huron and into Ontario. Erie, in between, would go thirsty And our American cousins on Erie wouldn't like that. No sir! Editors across the province have mixed feelings about driv- ing courses in schools Some of them feel schools are trving to do too much now " Others are aggressively in vor.
