"We live in a Christian s0- ciety," Mr, Maloney said, "and this prohibits death penalty for the capital crime. In opposi- tion to this thinking some peo- ple think we spend too much time on feeling sorry for the convicted person and spend too little time thinking about the victim. "The result from these par- oles has been amazing,"' he said, "in almost 90 percent of cases the person -has straight- ened himself out. Some of the people commit minor crimes but very few ever kill a second time. Those persons who do murder or kill someone again are an infinitesimal amount."

"The death penalty has been regarded as a deterrent to the more serious crimes, where a human life is taken,' Mr. Ma- loney stated, "but on the con- trary facts prove otherwise." In many cases, he continued, coun- tries and states that have abol- ished the capital punishment have found there has been no increase in the capital offence.

Elmer Ormiston, manager of the new plant, said previously his company--which owns six other plants on the Prairies-- manufactured the pipe in Re- gina, shipped it to Calgary to be threaded and then shipped it back to Saskatchewan for sale.. The new plant will end the need for such shipment. 4 A To Our Borrowing Customers To remove any uncertainty in the minds of our borrowing customers, the Royal Bank wishes to assure them that removal of the ceiling will not of itself affect our prevailing loan rates. The general level of these rates is determined by monetary policy as for- mulated by the Government and implemented through the Bank of Canada. However, the changes proposed by the Royal Commission will, if enacted in law, enable the chartered banks to enter lending fields hitherto closed to theni. Thus the banks will be in a position to make, at reasonable rates, loans of a term and risk which, under present regulations are available only at higher rates outside the banking system.
