She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Women's Prison Site Not Logically Chosen A new prison for women is to be built at Cornwall. The only pos- sible conclusion is that the decision to built it there is strictly a political one; in every other way the loca- tion is undesirable. One cannot think of a single ad- vantage to the Cornwall site. The disadvantages, however, are many and have been pointed out to Prime Minister Pearson by the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kingston. Cornwall is right on the international boun- dary -- a simple escape route; it is difficult to make a one-day visit to Cornwall--from the -Toronto- Hamilton area (impossible by train) which supplies most of the prison population; the Cornwall area cannot supply the resources for physical and psychological care, research, trained staff. A new prison for women is badly needed. The one at Kingston is the only federal institution "for the incarceration of Canadian female offenders to two-year terms or more", and it is an old-fashioned and utterly inadequate institution that was originally designed as a male maximum security unit. As late as November, 1963, in spite of government recognition of the need for a new, appropriately designed women's prison, no hope was held out for a new building, for the reason that many of the men's prisons were in even worse shape, But then. came the announcement last January that a new women's prison would be built in Cornwall. The Cornwall decision makes some sense only if the federal gov- ernment is abandoning the idea of rehabilitation and returning to the old and discredited idea that prisons are. for punishment and nothing else. If the federal policy has changed, the public should know about it. Justice Minister Favreau has not been in office very long --~ his lack of experience has been evident in some of his inaccurate references to the prison popula- tion. But he has had enough time to know what policy is -- or should be. Robarts Touches Nerve Premier Robarts has touched an exposed nerve at the federal-pro- vincial conference. The federal gov- ernment, he said, cannot allow one province to remain out of a joint federal-provincial program and then if another province also decides to stay out. He said the term "co-operative federalism" needs to be given a better definition by Ottawa; to Ontario it "cannot mean a system under which some provinces with federal approval can stay out of programs, while against others that also elect to stay out . levelled the accusation that they e "breaking up. Confederation'." ea was a rather obvious allusion to the placid manner in which Que- bec's decision to "contract out" of the Canada Pension Plan was re- garded, as opposed to the sharp federal comment on the possibility that Ontario might do the same. With Ontario out, as well as Que- the Plan would be killed, of course. But apart from the pros and cons of the Pension Plan, the question raised by Mr. Robarts is object bec, one which will have to be answered by the federal government -- and answered clearly, for the benefit of the English-speaking provinces. The Lesage government -- with the almost unanimous support of the province's leaders of opinion -- regards Quebec as a state rather than a province; as the homeland of French-speaking Canadians, as against the area occupied by Eng- lish-speaking Canadians. This view represents Quebec not so much as one province among ten, but as one part. of a duet. Premier Lesage and his colleagues can offer strong arguments to 'support this view, and the Pearson government seems inclined to accept them. But in doing so, the federal government must be prepared for the dis- trust or outright opposition of at least seven of the English-speak- ing provinces. If those provinces refuse to accept the state concept which: would give Quebec prefer- ential treatment, Ottawa is in deep trouble. ; That is the nerve touched by Mr. Robarts. Consumers Are Needed union sug- gested to President Johnson that people should be paid whether they work or not, were not living in a lotus land of their own, The Ham- ilton Spectator wisely points out. They were thinking of people who lose their jobs through automation and, because they cannot find work, live on some form of social welfare. It has been estimated that in Canada some two thousand jobs cease to exist every week because of technological advances. New jobs are created by an expanding econ- omy,-but the race between techno- logy and expansion is going on all the time.

MOLNER, MD I have a letter from a man with angina pectoris. who has been reading about people with heart attacks and "the smaller arteries took over to supply blood to the heart, and devel- oped to size to do the job." Now I'm rather sure that he isn't the only one who is some- what confused over the differ- ence between angina and a heart attack (or coronary oc- clusion) They are not the same, even though they have a good deal in common Both involve the heart cle, and the arteries serve it Both involve pain Both can be dangerous in varying degrees 3ut the causes, ment and the different The best way to explain this is to go at it backwards, which we have done before on other topics Although we around to the answers on an- gina pectoris, let's begin with a heart attack, or occlusion, or thrombosis As the heart pumps blood to the rest of the body, about five per cent goes directly to the heart muscle, It, you might say, has first priority.

But he deserves it, OTTAWA REPORT " Score For Press In Numbers Game By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- There are some quiet chuckles and gentle satis- faction around the press gallery here on account of the final in- disputable victor of the press over Mr, D. in the 'numbers game.' The more so is tihe press scoffing because this vic- tory was scored by a neat shot through their own goal by Mr. D's defencemen. The numbers game originally 'eoncerned the attendance at Conservative rallies addressed by Mr. D. during the 1962 ana 1963 election campaigns. An in- significant, but traditional fea- ture of any report of a political rally, is an estimate of the at- tendance, just as any oub re- porter following the fire engine always inserts an estimate of the dollar value of the cost of a conflagration. Mr. D. always set himself up as a rival to the press in enumerating the attendance. His estimate frequently differed from those arrived at by the press: and on such occasions his estimate. was always the higher. The campaign train or cam- paign plane was the scene of many dramas, which always had the same plot, Mr. D. would rail, petulantly at one or more luckless reporters, charging that their reports were inaccur- ate in that they had underesti- mated the crowd of the faithful 'who had turned out to hear him speak. IMPARTIAL WITNESSES An exact count of an audience at any gathering where admis- sion tickets are not sold is im- possible. But journalists have ample time during the speeches to make their own reasonably accurate assessment. Fre- quently they are able to discuss this with the superintendent of the hall, who knows how many seats have been provided and is accustomed to assessing the size of the crowd in his own hall. I recall a Tory meeting in the BY-GONE DAYS 30 DAYS April 2, The choir of St Anglican Church direction of Matt Gouldburn, choirmaster and organist,' pre- sented Stainer's 'Crucifixion" on Good Friday. George's under the Twenty-two families became self-supporting and were re- moved from the city's relief lists. This brought the total on relief down to 908 families and 60 single men, Anderson, mem- ber of the Oshawa Board of Education, was guest speaker at the Urban Trustees' Section of the Ontario Educational As- sociation convention in Toronto. J. Carroll James Gregory was honored on the oecasion of his com pletion of 66 years as a member of King Street United Church Rey. R. F McTavish made suitable remarks regarding Mr Gregory's church life. AGO 1934 A. L. Bouckley and his staff had a busy day on the last day for issuing 1934 license plates for cars. The line-up waiting for new markers extended for a full block. Oshawa officials of the two railways reported railway traf- fic reached a high peak during the Easter weekend when an unusual large number of people travelled out of the city by rail. Customs collections for March amounted to $384,355, The fiscal year's total, ending March 31, was up half million' dollars over the previous year. Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin, presi- dent of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Clubs, presided over that section of the Ontario Educational Associ- ation convention at Toronto. ice rink at Moose Jaw in the spring of 1962, when several newspaper .men viewed | the crowd from the empty balcony, in company with the superinten- dent. This helpful official gave his own estimate, which very closely matched that already made by the press, confirming the accuracy of the press es- timators, One of the more publicized disagreements concerned the crowd at a rally at Charlotte- town in that same election, The experienced reporter of The Ca- nadian Press agency estimated the crowd at 2,300. Others agreed with this figure, or matched it closely. But in the aircraft later, Mr. D. told the reporters that the crowd had totalled 4,000. In a speech the next day, he adopted his familiar stance that 'they were against me"; they had undenplayed his drawing power and the crowd had really been 4,400. In an even later speech, he was quoted as saying that the attendance had been "well over 3,400." No doubt several Oharlottetowners present could say if the CP really made an error of 57 per cent. - OTTAWA RALLY Now comes the pay-off. In the April issue of a four page hand- out from the Tory central of- fice here, entitled Canada's Young Conservatives, the lead story begins: "By. an_ over- whelming majority (approxi- mately 1,460 out of a. possible 1,500) the delegates at the an- nual general meeting . . . voted confidence in the continued leadership of the Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker." Dick Thrasher, the national organizer of the party, told me that 1,213 voting delegates were registered--not 1,500. He also said that there were 'about 850" chairs in the room where the standing vote was taken. About 150-200 standees crowded in also. This makes utter nonsense of the printed claim. In fact press . reports at the time estimated that about 750 delegates sup- ported Mr. D.; about 65 op- posed him; and about 400 ab- stained from voting. And as was commented, how could the standees abstain from being counted on a standing vote? And what guarantee was there that the room contained only ac- credited delegates, since cre- dentials were not checked at the door? So the press: definitely won that "numbers game" since the figures in the Tory publi- cation were obviously incorrect, You may not realize it, but it is years since a new brand of Canadian whisky has seriously challenged the leaders in the better price class but new Park Lane 10 has advantages of age and quality to do it For one thing, Park Lane 10 is aged in wood for ten years. That's an advantage. It is a soft, satisfying whisky, and very, very palatable. That's an advantage. It has a subtle difference _in flavour that sets it apart from other whiskies. That's an advantage. So if you are in the habit of buying whisky in the better price class, ask for new Park Lane 10. You'll get the best. Corby's. Park Lane 10 [true] Canadian Whisky Fully matured 10 years in wood S Corby"s fifteen year old Park Lane whisky {in the elegant decanter +2. and golden container) is still the best buy in the premium class.
