Fourth Cub Pack Visits Mosport Thanksgiving weekend pro- ved to be a real holiday for the boys of the 4th Bowmanville Cub Pack. Also it was a good time for parents as well. On Sunday, Oct. 13th, the boys along with parents and brothers and sisters met at Memorial Park and journeyed out to Mosport arriving well before the start of the races in order to be welcomed and toured around the park. The boys and parents were given a chance to visit the pits, talk to the drivers (getting autographs as well) and sit in Fede--ral M Following the Federal Government's decision to withdraw the 5 cent a-quart consumer fluid milk subsidy over a period of four months, representatives from the Ont- ario Government and those from the industry met to determine bow best the sub- sidy should be phased out to meet Ontario's situation. The decision was reached to re- move the 3 cents-a-quart of the 5 cent-a-quart subsidy to consumers on October 21 and the remaining 2 cents-a-quart to be removed possibly, on February 1, 1975. In referring to this decision, the Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, George R. McLaughlin stated that tbis metbod of witb- drawal seemed preferable. "The withdrawal of 1 cent- er-quart of milk per month," e said, "which was the proposal made by the Federal Governn42l 1sxnilrlhavex,, the racing cars. Comp limentary tickets were provided for ail along with stickers andprograms by Gary Magwood, the wel known driver and father of one of the Cubs. Mr. Magwood also took everyone for a run around tbertracks in the officiai starter's car. It wascool and windy but all enjo ed the races. After a sandy spot was found, a weiner roast was enjoyed by all, putting a finishing touch to a really worthwhile and plea- sant day. 11k Subsîdy meant that the consumer would have to face a price increase every month, and we do not feel that this would be a desirable way to handle it. It would cause continuous dis- ruption in the market place over an extendéd period, which would not be in the interests of either consumers or the industry." "Dairy farmers who pro- duce milk for table use need an increase in price at this time to cover rising costs of production," Mr. McLaughlin said. The producer increase of 40 cents per hundredweight will also be effective October 21. This represents the equivalent of a 1 cent-a-quart rise in the price charged to processors by tbe Board. '"This increase is warrant- ed, " Mrs. McLaughlin said, "because of continuing price increases on essential items The boys had worked har, on their bottle drive and wit, tbe outing as a break they are now ready to settle down to some serious Cub work. Driving Tip: Drivers: Here's an emer- gency vehicle reminder. When you hear a Police, Fire, Ambulance, or Public Utility emergency siren, or if one of these vehicles aproaches you withthe red light on the roof flashing intermittenly, the law requires that you bring your vehicle to a stop as near the right hand curb as possible. Wîthdrawn ially the costs of feed and farm labor. Other items have also gone up in price since the last increase to producers early in April of this year, such as fertilizer, petroleum products, hydro, seeds, farm machinery and building materials. "With the bigb rice of feed as it is toay, ' lie said, "farmers are having to decide whether to sell the grains they grow or feed them through cows to produce milk. It is hoped that this modest in- crease of 3.8 percent to the milk producer will encourage milk production and ensure regularity of supply to the consumer." Mr. McLaughlin said, "the withdrawal of the 3 cent-a- quart subsidy, together witb tbe producers' increase equivalent to about 1 cent-a- quart, makes a total of 4 cents-a quart, but the actual extent o the increase bas not yet been determined was always cheerful an helpful to others.

Schamer horn conducted the funera Leniency of Canadian Laws service from the Northcut Elliott Funeral Home on Judge Thomas J. Graham, Esq. in reply to a question from Rotarian Bob Stevens, on the recent police brutality charges in Toronto, told the club that the public had only seen one side of the story so far.

ALLIN is their AGENT for the Sale of CANADA SAVINGS BONDS 1974 Series Miss Allin may be contacted at 55 Centre St, Bowmanville - 623-5607 In the question period that followed, Rotarian Neil New- ton expressed his concern over the damage caused by interrogation, stating that he knew of an individual case that had sad results. He asked if there were any laws that the general public should know in such a case. To this Judge Graham replied that the only law he could refer to was the Bill of Rights. He went on to say that in the cases of complaints of police brutality, they first went to a board set up to hear and deal with them. If satisfaction was not obtained here, the indivi- duals could approach the polcie commission to have it reviewed. Rotarian AI Witherspoon stated that he felt there were more laws in favor of the criminal than the general ublic, and made reference to ail, parole and weekend passes for the convicted criminals. Judge Graham replied that "the Bail Reform Act is not working for our liberty." He referred to a convicted torch with Mafia connections who was sentenced to 14 years on a charge of attempting to burn down the Golden Nugget in Toronto. Apparently, the in- dividual has received three weekend passes so far,,and during the last one made his way to Buffalo, stating he had paid his debt to the Canadian Society. There should be provision made for dealing with hardened criminals, Judge Graham stated. The speaker was introduced by Rotary President Alf Allin and thanked by Rotarian Keith Slemon OBITUARIES WILLIAM E.

Judge Graham, a provincial magistrate and a member of the Metro Toronto Police Commission, was the guest speaker at Thursday's meet- ing of the Bowmanville Rotary Club. Judge Grahamwas born in Toronto, joined the police force in 1937, later served as a special investigator to the Royal Canadian Airforce, was elected to the North York Council where he served as a Councillor, reeve and deputy reeve, was elected as a Progressive Conservative member to the Ontario Legis- lature and appomted a provin- cial magistrate in 1964. He began his address with a history of policing and the science of pomicing. He went back to the Magna Carta where it stated, there would be no constables, but that the publie would know the rules of the realm and obey them. Judge Graham told the club that the methods of policing had changed but the principles established by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 still applied, He then quoted the nine principles involved and went on to discuss the life of a policeman, as one involving greater publie and self scrutiny. It is a job which exposes the officer to many dangers and puts him in the position where he bas to take a lot of verbal abuse without retaliating. He told the Rotary club that the people in Ontario have never known corruption among the police, magistrates and the legislature. Joseph Valachi was once asked to the extent of organized crime in Ontario, to which be replied it was a bad climate for the organization, Judge Graham stated. Mr. Valachi is the person on which the movie the "Valachi Papers" was based. Judge Graham stated that organized crime becomes more sophisticated every day. It is hard to determine its next target. On the topic of telephone taps, he told the club that this.was one of the only ways to penetrate organi- zed crime, because the men at the top do not commit the crime themselves, and it was important to get that conver- sation. However, in tapping, the police have to attain a warrant for a 30-day period, then at the end of that time, even if nothing nas been learned, they have to phone the person up and tell him his phone has been tapped. Only with the help of the publie can the police be effective, Judge Graham stat- ed. He went on to tell the club that he liked to think of the olice as the guardians of our i b erty, so dearly gained (referring to the two world wars). He explained that when one person takes liberties at the expense of another, the victim's liberties are restrict- ed. Police brutality is not to be condoned, but it is extremely rare in Ontario, he stated. Interrogation is necessary, it being the only way the police cari get necessary information on a number of cases. He explained that it might be uncomfortable to persons in- volved, but if they were innocent there was nothing to fear. He ended his formal address by stating that the prevention of crime was the greater duty of the police, and that the message about policing was being penetrated into the public sector through the law abiding citizens.
