If the§e proposals are anywhere near ae- curate, the transit system should show a net profit of around $15,000 this year. To Present |Area PC' Recital Of Organ Musi C. Warren Becker, M.

He contended that capital punishment did act as a deterrent and that one had to consider the welfare of society as a whole, "Most of the discussion is wrongly focused," Mr. Fraser de- clared. "More attention should be directed towards the murder- ed rather than the murderer." OTHER SENTIMENTS Other sentiments expressed favored the retention of the death penalty but some other means than hanging should be found. Others stated that there should be different degrees of murder and the death sentence imposed only in the case of premeditated murder.

Ronald Henderson, 19, of Funds for this addition to OMC said that no case has been made out that hanging acted as a de- terrent, The onus should not be on those favoring abolition to prove that it does not act as such, Those in favor of retention of capital punishment said that life imprisonment often meant as little as 11 years and the person would have a chance to murder again. They also cited statements by law enforcement officers that criminal gangs would move in to Toronto from New York, Chicago and other places. WATER RESOURCES The guest speaker was Charles S.
