dhe Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5, E., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Fridoy, Movember 25, 1960 -- Benchers Lack Support In Criticism Of Judge The Benchers of the Law Society of Upper Canada, that most exclusive of closed shops, may not care about public opinion, even though the legal profes. son at the moment could use some good public relations, Certainly they did noth. ing to swing public opinion to their side when they undertook to criticize Mr, Justice Wilson for verbally spanking ciown counsel in the recent "shady lady" divorce hearing Mr, Justice Wilson had criticized the Queen's Proctor, Elliott Pepper for pro- ducing a crown witness who had not before been interviewed by the Attorney. General's Department and who had only second-hand information, His Lordship remarked, "This is no way to prepare a trial" He later told Mr, Pepper that his court examination was going beyond the hearing's scope, Mr, Pepper is young and inexpers ienced, and Attorney-General Roberts could be criticized for putting him in charge of the crown's case, What the Benchers objected to was publie chastisement administered by the judge, In a written statement they said; "It is not part of the function of a judge the to upbraid publicly counsel who respects fully end in good faith is presenting a case to the court , , , We deeply regret that on this occasion the learned justice departed from a salutary practice which has been followed almost uniformly by our judges and senior members of our profession" = the practice being cone structive but private criticism, What the Benchers seem to forget that the law is not the private property of lawyers, and the conduct of trials not a routine ritual, A counsel who does not prepare his case properly, who does not examine properly, who goes beyond the seeking of truth, deserves to be slaps ped down by the judge hearing the case, Justice Wilson deserves commen» dation rather If judges followed his example, the effect undoubtedly than criticism, more on the profession would be salutary, The trates how deeply mired members of reaction of the Benchers illus. some professions have become in the attitude that they are beyond public criticism, The best thing that can be said about the that they avoided the splitting of an infinitive, jenchers' statement is Fog And Pollution fog that blanketed this dis. triet during a couple of recent mornings Dense brought traffic to a crawl but more im- portant, served as a reminder that con. trol programs for air pollution are a necessity in industrial areas, Polluted air, under the conditions that produce fog, can be deadly, Fog can be romantic, it can be harm. less, it can be beneficial, Lettuce grow ers in the hot Salinas Valley near San Francisco depend on it to the evaporation of irrigation water in their fields, It can also cost lives and money, Sailors hate it and the tricks it does with sounds, It can slow inside work as well as outside traffic =~ people tend to become less efficient in a dense grey world, and the Bank of England has gone so far as to halt complex work and put its clerks on routine chores until a bad fog lifts, It is at its deadliest as smog, when it mixes with polluted air, When an in- dustrial city is surrounded by higher ground, and vehicle exhausts and chim. slow neys pour gases into the air and a situs ation of temperature inversion exists when temperature layers pin the foul air at low level = then deadly smog is created, In the winter of 1930, smog killed some 70 Belgians in a factory town, In 1948, twenty people died in Donora, Pa, and of the town's 13,500 population became ill, In Cine cinnati the smog got so bad in 1949 that it peeled paint off houses, A few years ago smog ate holes in nylon stockings in Toronto, Los Angeles smog is notorious, and London is even worse, In December, 1953, smog killed 6000 Londoners, a toll only a little under that the Nazi bombers took in the worst month of the Battle of Britain, Smog can be licked, Pittsburgh used to most and blouses be a filthy city, but wise action by lead. ing citizens changed the situation by means of a strict control program, The toll of such smog attacks as those in London and Donora can be accurately calculated, but effect on human health of daily doses of polluted air is only beginning to be estimated, How many affections of the lung, nose throat and eyes are started by polluted air can only be guessed at until research now under way produces firm evidence, But what is known is that clean air is a necessity for good health, the More Oil Than Needed In the last four years demand for oil has increased three million barrels a day, but the supply available at the wells has increased six million barrels a day, And that is why Venezuela and the oil-producing countries of the Middle East have been discussing joint action to protect their oil income, why some producers in Canada want to push pipe. lines farther into Eastern Canada, and why President-elect Kennedy will face vociferous demands from U.S, producers for further restrictions on the import of low-priced foreign oil into the United States, Discoveries in the French Sahara and Libya account for much of the world oil glut, Production has expanded in the Soviet Union, Canada and the United States, and continued to be heavy in The Oshawa Times TL WILSON, Publisher and General Manager € GWYN KINSEY Editer The Oshawa Times combining The Oshawa Times (established 1871) and the Whitby Gazette and Chionicle (established 1863), Ww published daily {Sundays end statutory holidays excepted) Members of Canadian Daily Nev napers Publisher Aneciation.

Some surprise has heen ex. pressed at the reappointment of the same individuals to the posts of Parliamentary secretaries, As such appointments are made for INSIDE YOU a period of 12 months, there had grown up the erroneous idea that an MP would serve for that period, and then be demoted to enable one of his colleagues to take his shoes, Thus, with 16 such posts provided by legisla. tion, and with a parliament last. ing for four years and a frae- tion, rotation would provide for 64 hack-bench MPs to enjoy the preferment and experience of serving as Parliamentary secre- tary to a cabinet minister, This would provide a scheme of "po litieal scholarships," to enable promising MPs to gain a broader Doctor Answers Readers' Queries FERN, MD What's the symptom Mrs, T.

If you resemble a bear, don't sit In a tree, side of government Against this proposal stands the more compelling argument that it tekes a Parliamentary secretary six months to learn the Job; so ministers would be en- "during frequent changes which would deprive them of the full benefit of a tance, In the de. bates on the bill establishing these posts, Prime Minister Dief- enhaker made it quite clear that his intention was not to rotate his supporters in these jobs, And by the reappointment of last year's incumbents, he has made it clear that he regards these junior members of his ministry as working officials, not as polith cal trainees These 40 positions in the ad. ministration, either as cabinet minister or as Parliamentary secretary provide recognition for one in every five supporters of the government in the House of Commons That represents also the pros portion of satisfaction which these appointments receive i among Conservative MPs, !

AN bills get clauseby-clause treat ment in the Canadian House, In place of this stage, bills in Britain go to standing commits tees of 20 to 50 MPs for detailed examination, The committee re. ports on the bill to the Come mons, proposing amendments, adoption In its original form er rejection altogether. LIMIT PRIVATE BILLS The Canadian Commons fre. quently sends bills to standing or epecial committees, This some. times tends to produce repetition of debate--first in the committee and then In commitiee of the House Opportunities to debate private members' motions and legisla. tion are limited In both Britain and Canada, slthough the re strictions are less severe in Lop. on, British MP's consider private mombers' business on 20 Fri. days during the session--10 for legislative bills and 10 for mo. tions calling for action in spe cific fields, Four additional days were allotted last session and likely will continue to he pro- vided by the government In Canada, private members' business takes precedence on two Mondays and six Thursdays plus an hour on Friday afternoon, An experimental change this session will allow the government to postpone the private members' days to get its legislation hefore the House early in the session, The two Commons differ widely on the dally question period at the start of the sitting and on detalled consideration of the gov. ermment's spending program, Question period is usually the liveliest and most Interesting part of the Canadian parliament. ary session, MPs fire verbal questions at cabinet ministers on matters affecting the government and receive verbal replies, Before the Second World War, this lasted about 20 minutes daily but now often extends to an hour or more, Written questions placed on the order paper sup plement this procedure and are dealt with on Wednesdays, Britain's question period is Um. ited to an hour, Questions must be submitted in advance and in writing, Oral questions are al lowed only to elicit more Inform. ation, Canadian MPs spend fully one third of their House time consid. ering government spending.
