ORONO WEEKLY TIMlES, WEDNESDAY, JANýUARY lZth, 1972 ORONO WEE KLY TIMES li" az«Omo% a--on WHAT OTHERS SAY- There is strong need, -. according to 1fr. Justice Ed-- son Haines of the Ontario Supreme Court - for mre re- forin the Canadian judiciary. The 64-year-old trial judge (writing in the current issue of Chitty's Law Journal) doesn't mince words or hedge in his asessrnent of the picture. H1e wants to send judges back to school to keep,up with developments in the law and social services. He pro- poses thecreation of a national instîtute for the education of thec judiciary. Newly appointcd judges could undergo an immersion course. They would familiarize thcmsclves with their judicial duties. * Justice Haines says Canadian judges come from legal office practice, law sehools and frorn,a bar in which few can specialize except in'metropolitan arcas. -There are a- bout 450' federally-appoint ed. julges in Canacl'a, he added, but they sèldo m meet as a nation-wide group to discuss problems. Ontario's provincial iudges have an annual con- ference and educational seminar, and thrce or. four sent- encing seminars each year. There was an annual conference of the chief justices of the province yearly, hie noted, and another conference involving the chef justices of the cir- cuit courts, and a third including ail circuit and district Judges. What does an examination of their working papers indicate? The conferences on family and juvenile courlts are "the most progressive and original." These courts don't conclude their efforts by, a judgcment, but often become an Integr al part of the solution, using ail avallable agenc- ies. The programns have a wide variety of professional men and workers. The judge adds: "Perhaps here we get the first hint of a ncw role for the 'courts . . . The law (in fainily U.T. CHEQUES SPEEDED Labour Minister Bryce Mac- kasey announced recently that, by about the middle of January, a change in the reporting sYtem will enable unernployment insur- anoe claimarts to receive their flrst cheque a week sooner. Extensive tests have been made and the new system will be put into effect as soon as instrutitons can be printed and placed in UIC offices throughout Canada. To prove . entitiement, a dlaim- ant must regularly mail a dlaim-, ant's report to certify he is stili out of work. This is one of the Commission's controls to prevent abuse. PaYment is then made in arrears on rcceipt ýof the claim- ant's report. For a laimant entitled to the advanced payrnent, payment should be and is being made ini the thîrd weck on receipt of the first, claimant's report. For - al other claimants, payment is made on receipt of the second claimant report which should be in the 4th week. However, due to the trne taken to receive the first report, issue the second and receive it back, many first payments are not made until the filfth week. This situation will be corrected by issuing the first two claimant's reports at the same Urne and'ask- ing the claimant 'to return both at the end of the third we ek. This will ensure that ail claimants not entitled to the advanced pay- ment willI have thcîr firs cqu issued in the fourth week fùir reports are mailed on trne. and juvenile courts) is treated as a social science and Uic propOr social science ingredients appear in the solutions." M vr. Justice Haines wrotc that most of those appoint- cd to the bencli have receiveti their- formai education a long, Urne before. H1e adds: "Thcy were average students. Their instruction varied and they learned in haste concepts many of which thcy have nlot been able to develop." His far-reaching reform, proposal will provide plenty of room for thought in the mionths ahead, but will it be acted upon? -The Oshawa Times MORE MONEY FOR YOUTH! It is encouraging to hear that Federal Government spending on summer programs for youth will risc to a least $80-million this year. An expanded Opportunities For Youth Program is prnrniscd - somre details miýt stiil be scttled by the Cab- inet, but the new OYP is expected to cost between $30- million and $35-riflion out of an over-ali total 1bctween $80- million and $85-million. Programns to be carricd over from last summner (some with budget increases) include financinig of bostels and other services for transient young people, special militia training and l other yýouth-oricnted p4Jcctsundtae by the Departmcnt and spCeial summ-er emiploymient of students by most Govcrnment departments.
