THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, August 1, 1962 British Village Like Switzerland By DOUG MARSHALL LONDON (CP) -- Highgate Village often considers itself tne Switzerland o f London -- too hilly to tempt destructive con- guest in the name of progress. « The community is a complex of twisted lanes and shady groves perched on a pinnacle 300 feet above the city's north- ern fringe. Highgate credits health and solitudet © its height. Residents frequently bask in clean sun- shine while the rest of London distinguished by appropriate slo- gans and a gigantic bronze bust. On other sides, the village falls away through belts of parks, playing fields and heath- land that isolate it from the pandemonium of the city below. If Marples continues with his lan to drive the machine age through the middle of Parnassus he is certain to hear, as did Coleridge's Kubla Khan, "'an- cestral voices prophesying Abortion Allowed To Save Mother NEW YORK (AP)--Each ofmethod will secure the safety of the 50 United States permits abortion to save a mother's life but with few exceptions it is a 'felony in all other cases. Alabama, the District of Co- lumbia and Oregon also allow abortions if the operation is necessary to preserve the health of the pregnant mother. In the District of Columbia, a defend. ant must prove the operation was necessary. In Oregon, the state must prove the operation was not necessary. Maryland permits abortions if necessary "because no other the mother." In Maryland, the doctor must prove the operation was necessary for the woman's Safety. : Colorado and New Mexico al- low abortions to "prevent per- manent bodily injury" to the mother, In Colorado, a defend. ant in an abortion case must prove the operation was neces- sary to prevent injury. There are few court rulings interpreting health, safety, and bodily injury. Medical and legai experts who favor more liberal abortion laws say that courts may interpret health, safety and bodily injury to mean mental as well as physical health and safety. Louisiana does not make abor- tion a statutory crime but re- vokes the physician's licence unless the operation is to pre- serve the life of the woman. Massachusetts, New -Jersey and Pennsylvania prohibit all abortion by statute but their state courts have read in an exception which at least permits the operation when a woman's life is in danger. In an abortion trial, 19 states hold that the state prosecution must prove that the operation was not necessary under state law. They are California, Con- necticut, Delaware, Illinois, In- uiana, Jowa, Kentucky, Massa- chusetts, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wis- consin. Five states and the District of Columbia hold that the de- fendant, in an abortion trial, must prove that the operation was necessary under law. The states are Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, New York and Mary- land, In the other 26 states there are no clear cut decisions on the burden of proof during the trial. The Canadian Criminal Code provides an exemption under the abortion law for anyone acting in good faith who takes the life of an unborn child by means he iders to preserve the mother's life. For all other abortions, the maximum penalty is life im. prisonment. Change Planned In Rural OTTAWA (CP)--A majority of Cana¢a's 10 provinces are ex- pected to sign hard contracts with the federal government this year under legislation designed A recast the face of rural Can- ada. How close actual results ap- proach the objective depends on a great many factors involved in the application and adminis- tration of the Agricultural Re- habilitation and Development Act, officials said Tuesday. The act was passed by Par- liament last year. The antici- pation of progress in 1962 is Canada based on discussions held with each province this year, in some cases up to three meetings. The new act, known as ARDA is in effect an expanded na- tional form of the Prairie Farm and Rehabilitation Act prompted by the dustbowl con- ditions of the 1930s. Its three main aims, through cost-sharing arrangements, are alternate uses of poor . yield land, expanded income and em- .|ployment in rural areas, and development and conservation of soil and water resources. Initially, projects are ex- pected to be local in nature. The federal government has ticketed $50,000,000 as its contribution for a three-year phase from last June 1 to April 1, 1965. So far, the division concerned with getting ARDA off the ground and into rural Canada has run into staff problems, complicated by the govern-. ment's austerity program. The planners had in mind about 12 persons to guide the scheme federally, but it is prov- ing difficult to round up trained permanent staff who can fit the plan's possibilities into a practi- cal format, informants said. ASTRONOMY CENTRE Europe's first important ob- servatory is believed to have been the one established at Nuermberg, Germany, in 1472. coughs in fog and smoke. The approaches are so steep that most traffic prefers to by- pass the hill. In the early days of the automobile the gradiént was used as a standard endur- ance test for cars. But: now Parliament and the modern piston engine threaten the slumber of the placid plat- eau where Coleridge and Karl Marx lie buried. | WILL FIGHT PLAN | A master plan by Transport Minister Ernest Marples pro-} poses to turn the village's) "crooked high street into a one-| way thoroughfare for heavy transport trucks rolling towards London's docks and markets from the north. If the plan is approved some 10,000 eight - wheeled monsters will lumber through Highgate belching fumes and fury 24 hours a day. Villagers, still shaking from a one-day experiment with the new truck route, are deter- mined to make an epic stand against the machine. "The "save Highgate' peti- tion already has 14,000 signa- tures and the campaign's chair- man, A. J. F. Doulton, is sure the battle can be won. An alter- native plan has been presented to Marples. | "We feel that we are waging 'a fight not just for ourselves 'put for everyone being forced -«to submit to the planners," says m, headmaster of 400- id Highgate school, one of| e's chief landowners. | lieve the time has) where in this coun-| | chines can be used to our ad-| vantage. Wé refuse to believe human beings must come sec- 'ond. That is our fight." ' LAST TRUE VILLAGE Doulton describes Highgate as 'the last true village in London' : and points to a rich list of poets) « and artists who sought seclusion) * in its quiet lanes. | The school chapel's crypt con- 'tains the neglected tomb of » Samuel Taylor Coleridge who spent his final unhappy years in » the village. : | A Georgian house across the} » way was the place where A. E.) * Housman wrote The Shropshire} : Lad and later T. S. Eliot taught) » while John Betjeman, the pres- * ervationist, studied at Highgate| » junior school. | Today the village is a collec-| tion of modest 18th - century) 'houses broken here and there) : by blocks of expensive apart- * ments. One block, built in 1936, 'has been described by French * architect Le Corbusier as a * "vertical garden city." The village site dates to the ' middle ages. Local legend has «it that it was the taxing pros- * pect of climbing Highgate Hill and not Bow Bells that sent Dick Whittington back to Lon- , don. : BURIED PLAGUE VICTIMS During the intermittent on- ' slaught of the Black Death inj * the 17th century, the hill's slopes) * were used as plague pits. Later} ' generations covered the pits and) * turned them into a series of gro- ; tesquely ornate cemeteries. In one of these. Marx, who ; died in 1883, was buried in an) obscure family grave. His body) ; was moved to a more prominent » position by the Soviet embassy 'in 1956 and the grave now Is ince ane te oe "Church Chiefs _ MOSCOW (AP) -- The Arch- bishop of Canterbury and Pat- riarch Alexei of the Russian Orthodox Church have agreed to bring their churches closer together. * "Jt is the will of our Lord Jesus Christ," Dr. Michael Ramsey, head of the Church of » England, told the patriarch "Tuesday at a meeting in the patriarch's residence. The 83 - year - old patriarch agreed: "I would very much -Jike to solve the question in my -dife time. I haven't got much time left." Both agreed a firm under- standing must be reached be- fore the next Lambeth Confer- "ence on church unity in 1968. "We must tell them (the con- Yerees) not what to do but what we have done," said Dr. Ram- sey. Officials from both churches and Western and Soviet report- ers were present during the con- versation. Dr. Ramsey is also here as chairman of the Lam- beth Conference. One of the main points on which the Lambeth conferees want to. agree is "'inter-com- munion," meaning that mem- bers of one church may take communion in the other. Women's edges.
