2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, October 27, 1964 ST. VINCENT DE PAUL GOOD EVENING -- ByJACKGEARIN -- JERMYN CRACKS DOWN ON POLICE ASSAILANTS Orchids to Magistrate Harry Jermyn! His recent sentences to accused in cases where police officers were assaulted has won him commendation, 'especi- ally in the metropolitan press, ' He sent one police assailant to prison for 15 months and handed out a 12-month sent- ence to another (who stood by and watched the assault while ignoring the police- man's call for help) in a re- cent two-day period. It is high time that the courts put teeth in sentences for this type of offence. ht. By RUSSELL PEDEN MONTREAL (CP) -- Within two years, Canada's largest maximum - security - tiary will house only admin- istration buildings and a train- ing college for prison guards, Guy Favreau announced Mon- day night. : The justice minister made the statement at a press confer- ence after a three-hour tour of the institution. "It is quite clear that St. Vin- cent de Paul must be demol- ished and disappear as quickly 'as possible as a maximum-se- curity institution," he said. Prisoners would be trans- ferred to a medium - security prison at Cowansville, Que., due for completion next Septem- ber, and a maximum - security institution to be built in Ste, Anne des Plaines, Que., by De- cember of 1966. Mr. Favreau said: "That will be the end of St. Vincent de Paul as a maximum - security detention institute. That will be the end of these, what I would call detestable, conditions. Jail To Be Demolished "Quickly As Possible' "We will do all possible to push the construction program and try to complete Ste. Anne des Plaines before the deadline if possible." The justice minister also said he will ask the government to establish a parliamentary com- mittee to "study prisons as de- tention units and the conditions that prevail in them." "If such a committee is es- tablished it would have all means of information and re- search at its disposal." With Mr. Favreau on the tour Such action will und edly depress the hooligan ele- ment who have been treated with the utmost leniency in many cases, drawing fines instead of jail terms; it should do much to restore the morale of the police who, too often, were treated as second class citizens instead of up- holders of, the law. Magistrate Jermyn's brand of justice should do much to assist the police in their sometimes difficult law enforcement duties. It isn't inconceivable that this type of offence will be drastically reduced if others on the bench follow his lead. The Whitby magistrate is thus handling these cases in much the same manner in which they are handled in British courts of justice; as quoted herein several weeks ago, an assault on a police officer in England is an offence which al- most automatically draws a jail sentence instead of a fine, Law enforcement officers are not the most beloved group in the community for obvious reasons. This does not alter the ,fact that they deserve the support of all good citizens; if a police officer can not get support in the courts of the land after he has been assaulted, where can he hope to get relief? One Toronto newspaperman summarized the situation well when he wrote: "If this province had several more magis- trates like Harry Jermyn of Whitby, life would become a lot rougher for the punks and hoodlums who terrify innocent citizens with impunity and occasionally assault the police'. Magistrate Jermyn is a patient, tolerant and humane man, but he let it be known publicly Friday how he feels about the management at two City dance spots for young people, the Hideaway Club and the Red Barn. With some of the strongest, most direct criticism he has used since his elevation to the Bench, His Worship blasted the operators of these two establishments, He strongly suggested that the licence of the Red Barn should be revoked. He said he would personally go before the Oshawa Police Commission 'to deal with the reviewing of the Club Hideaway's licence." He did not spare "the young people of Oshawa" from his scathing criticism ('I really don't know what they're coming to") as he heard evidence of an all-girl brawl Oct. 11 in the King street west club that features Sunday night dances. It is evident that His Worship's patience has worn thin on this matter, and little wonder. He has heard so much evi- dence in recent months about brawling, hooliganism and drink- ing in public places by young people. Such conditions do not exist in all Oshawa dance halls, thankfully, but they have been increasing too rapidly, and the public should be grateful for his strong stand. Magistrate Jermyn is a patient and humane man who likes to give an accused every possible benefit of a doubt, but it is high time that he decided to deal with such matters more severely. The bad publicity directed to Oshawa in the Metro press after such incidents is justification enough. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck, who supports Mr, Jermyn on his stand, has frequently pointed out that the management of such establishments have a responsibility to employ suffi- cient personnel to ensure that reasonable peace and order exist at all times. The City police also have a duty to main- tain law and order, but they have more to do than to keep ®@ constant patrol over dance halls. HARRY JERMYN THAT ELECTION CAMPAIGN IS STILL IN LOW GEAR Oshawa's municipal election campaign is still in low gear but this should change at the Nov. 10 meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council. That's when the ODLC will present the recommendations of its screening committee for an election slate, when ratifi- cation by the membership will be sought. More than 14 candidates seek the ODLC's blessing, ac- cording to a press release; once these names are announced, other candidates, outside the Labor fold, will undoubtedly toss their hats in the ring. OFFICIAL "THANKS" FROM CITY DUE MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL: Alex Oakley, Oshawa's great, game Olympic marathon walker, deserves some sort of official "thanks". for his recent performance in Tokyo at the Olympic games. , True, Alex did not accomplish what he set out after, far from it, but he has done as much as any resident to favorably publicize the name of this City far and wide. He has helped to make the name of Oshawa known from Rome to London to Tokyo to New York throughout his years asa successful campaigner. The City should remember him equally as much when he loses as it did when he wins. Ever think of the weeks, months and years of hard- grinding competition that preceded such an appearance as his recent one in the Far East? Have you ever seen Alex out walking at 6:15 a.m. in 20-above weather with nobody to watch him but the snow owls? WHICH WAY ARE YOU GOING, CENTENNIALLY? OVERHEARD ON A KING ST. BUS: '"'Just to indicate how mixed up this Centennial project thing is -- the Oshawa and District Labor Council favors either a grandstand at Alexandra Park or a swimming pool at the Civic Auditorium site. On the other hand, the New Democratic Party in Osh- awa favors an Arts theatre. How are some of our politicians going to untangle this muddle and get on the winning side?" 'PEG BALLET IS COMING THIS WAY CULTURE NOTES: Did you know that the Royal Win- nipeg Ballet, scheduled to perform here tonight, has been signed for a tour by Sol Hurok, a renowned international impressario? . . . Philip Creighton, CA, a management con- sultant, issued a solemn note of warning to all accountants in a talk last week to the Oshawa District Chapter of the So- ciety of Industrial and Cost Accountants. He told the group: "Your present professional status is in jeopardy. Firstly, he said if public accountants did not: promote" a fuller and more uniform level of disclosure in the statements of public companies, this might become the subject of future legisla- tion which, in turn, would lead to lawyers reporting on the balance sheets instead of accountants. His second warning was to industrial accountants. He said they would be ousted by mathematicians if they did not identify themselves with electronic data processing in its increasing role as the tool of management. By HAROLD MORRISON LONDON (CP) Heavily taxed and yearning for life's luxuries, the British eonsumer today shouldered the burden of higher import duties with bar- ely a whimper. While the government was un- der pressure from several quar- ters to reduce or eliminate the extra 15-per-cent import duty on specific products, Britain gener- ally seemed to accept the fact that curbs had to be imposed at least temporarily to reduce a widening trade gap and pre- serve the pound against foreign attack. The extra duty, imposed Mon- day on all manufactured prod- ucts, was estimated to reduce Britain's expanding imports by some $600,000,000 in 1965 and at the same time yield the govern- ment another $500,000,000 or so in extra revenue. British manufacturers gener- ally warmed to the idea that for an indefinite period they will face less foreign competition in the British market. But Prime Minister Harold 'Wilson, in a na- tional broadcast Monday night, warned them against cosy com- placency. RATES TEMPORARY The higher rates are only temporary and not meant to provide a protective shelter. Britain had sacrificed much in two world wars but the world did not owe it a living, he said. British exporters had to fight harder for world markets. Britain no longer had room for restrictive monopolies and wildeat strikes, he said. The country had borrowed heavily UK Consumers Tax Wheel Burden from its friends abroad to help offset a widening payments defi- cit estimated to rise this year to perhaps $2,400,000,000, the highest in history. But Britain cannot go on bor- rowing forever, Wilson added as he urged industry to strip itself of speculation and pursue higher production at lower cost. The extra tariff, which virtu- ally doubles the average duty on manufactured goods to 30 per cent, is applicable on all goods with the exception of raw materials, food and unmanufac- tured tobacco. British consumers now will have to pay higher prices for such things as cotton textiles, foreign-made automobiles, per-| fumes, foreign wines, cigars and) imported cigarettes. | PAPER INCLUDED Much of Canada's $1,000,000,- 000 worth of annual exports to | | | |Britain will be excluded from about | the higher duty.

They also described the re- port made on the incidents by Solicitor - General Claude Wag- ner as "incomplete and tenden- tious." | The gallery made the state- |ments in a resolution passed |unanimously at a special meet- jing. | The resolution said Mr. Wag- iner's report contained "'inac- curacies and things that could tarnish the reputation of the press in general." Members of Le Syndicat des Journalistes du Quebec, a union of Quebec City reporters, also urged a public inquiry in a res- olution passed Sunday. French Satellites In Wind PARIS (AP) --The defence ministry confirmed Monday night that France is developing a more powerful nuclear bomb with a more flexible control system. The ministry also said it will make. the first tests next year on missiles capable of deliver- ing the French A-bomb and launching' satellites into orbit. The disclosures, came in the ministry's 1965 budget request to the National Assembly seck- ing a total defence appropria- istry said 25 per cent would be spent for the nuclear program.

But editorial opinion gener- ally accepted the view that Britain was in trouble. and something had to be done quickly. Along with these spe- cial measures and appeals to in- dustry and workers to restrain from pushing prices higher, the government plans to establish a special watchdog on prices and a Commonwealth exports council to convince the Com- were Jean-Paul Deschatelets, federal works minister, Allen MacLeod, commissioner of pen- itentiaries, and about 50. report- ers. The group toured prison work- shops, kitchens and a number of cell blocks including some "bucket cells" which a royal commission in 1938 said "should be condemned without qualifi- cation,"' The 'bucket cells', measur- ing four feet by eight, are so called' because they lack toilet facilities. Mr. Favreau said the 300 bucket cells--251 of them are still oceupied--were "inherited from 100 years ago." They would be the first to be vacated when the transfer of prisoners began.

(CP) -- The case of the controversial magistrate remained unsolved today. ; The magistrate says he has been asked for his resignation but hasn't decided whether to give it. The attorney - general says he's received the resigna- tion, but hasn't decided whether to accept it. The principals in the case are Attorney-General Arthur Wis- hart, now on a tour of north- western Ontario with the pro- vincial cabinet, and 56-year-old Magistrate Gordon Jermyn Gananoque. : Magistrate Jermyn, whose conduct in courts in Prescott, Gananoque and Brockville has been publicly criticized, said in an interview at his home Mon- day that Allan A. Russell, the province's inspector of legal of- fices, told him he would not be permitted to preside in court after Oct. 30. "T have left it up to the Leeds County Bar Association,' he said. "They are going to do something. I don't know what it is. He said he believes he will be compelled to give up his dut- ies regardless of what action the bar association may take.
