georgetown herald published r heine new limited 22 main street s georgetown onuno w c iiihn pvkueher page 4 thursday april 14th 1964 editorial comment retain death a3sooo aj4t mh vkibc avetaftmo for tu wt vmk m tm thm canatva aooo a t mals ites i av m a nation o ntacuwcn pouutmn u- jm au ow vmmr umbpklncals penalty retention of the death penalty for mur der in canada will be welcomed by those that believe it has the double effect of re ducing the incidence of crime and dealing most effectively with those who have eel lously robbed another of his life there are those who argue that it is not in mans domain to set such rules oth ers sy that statistics prove no higher inci dence of murder if the death penalty is not the penalty but is it less humane to rob a man of his freedom for a lifetime and does not the possibility of death for oneself deter many men from murderous inclinations now that parliament has dealt with the subject the next step is to abandon the doublestandard which is so common today in caneda trial conviction and last mm lite reprieves by the cabinet unleu this is done then murder will continue to be one of the least pun shed of crimes for many murderers eventually are paroled back into society as soon or sooner than those sen tenced for lesser crimes if is difficult of course for our courts to set the perfect system of punishment but it is becoming more and more evident that a complete reorganization of uws and punishment should be undertaken it would sometimes seem to the lay- man that the only clearly defined crime is bank robbery one seldom heart of a bank robber getting less than five years in jail while motor manslaughter assault intimi dation often receive only token punishment it has often seemed to us that our world pieces more emphasis on money than world place more emphasis on money than it does on human dignity that our courts are more concerned about a money loss than bodily inury nor do we agree that a man under alcoholic influence should be any less gu ity for his wrongdoing v4ua njcttom 3 walhww all oupl ffdavs will mm wrm no champ this year last hope for an ontario hockey eh am ptonthip faded sunday when the juniors lost a deciding game w th new hamburg in a cliffhanging overt me thriller h was a disappointment for fans who only few weeks ago had dreamed of at least two and maybe three ontario champs such are the fortunes of the game while we didnt win georgetown had a good season of sport and the juniors brought some of that old time excitement to town when the series with m hon filled the arena to capacity for a couple of games it s been many a year s nee people were turned away from a game it brought back some nostalgic reminiscences to old timers who recall when acton and george town moved in a body to whatever arena had scheduled the game and when hoi ckey trains to gait left only a handful of people at home there were years when reserved seats for the playoffs were sold out an hour af ter they went on sale when hockey offi ciels were almost mobbed by irate fans who couldn t get a ticket maybe this glimmer of the old days w ii be mtensrfed next season and hockey will again become georgetown s no 1 live entertainment a heated arena should encourage more regular fans and the cal ibre of hockey which the juniors presen ted this year will encourage larger crowds during the whole

fred wnittaker are local represent uves on the committee the lady in charge of volun teer help at the hospital has mentioned proolem that is recurring quite often we had an item devoted to this some time ago and for a little while anyway the problem abated we refer to the practice of young children being left in the lobby unattended while par ents are visiting this has led to some rather sticky situa tlons and wed respectfully re mind parents that we just haven t the staff or volunteer helpers to cope with the situa tion we are speaking of the young children of course and would ask parents to arrange to have someone keep an eye on them in their absence cer tainiy it is no criticism of the children because if they are normally healthy they are us ually very active and can not be expected to sit quietly when dad or mother isn t there as we say however our volunteers and staff cant really be every where at once so its for the children s safety as much as anything that we mention this
