Always A Sportsman
The late Mr. Lucas Allen was in younger days a noted athlete and .~poit.~2n'z.~i'i. and he never lost
nis

~martin: spirit in the
:lctlHllE; in which he engaged later life. both in business. and pol-

he the ones most ready to sacrifice
time in the public interest.
Mi: Ailou wouldn't have put it this way. for he was among the most modes? of men. and would have lauglicil at the idea that he v.35 setting a worthy example to r-rhers whcn he felt that he was only "doing his: hit." and that he

In his own Canadian
travels he. had met. far too many Canadians to whom Canada is still the “unknown country" apart from a few of its main cities.
. Naturally
this was
a matter
about Which the President of the Canadian National Railways would
be concerned.
But it was not from
the standpoint of promoting trans- portation that. he was speaking. so much as from his conviction that. Canadianism can be fostered best by
travel and personal contact.
After all. he reminded his hear- ers. it was personal contact between Men from the united provinces of ()inada and men from the Maritimes that made Confederation possible. About a month before the Chat- lottetown Confer-ems, some 50 mem-
gr,
bars of the legislature of the Can. adas, accompanied by other prom- inent men in business and public affairs—and including 23 journalists —started on their historic tour. The progress of the party through the Maritime: was a convivial alnd triumphant one, and—by no means iiicideiitullv—-ha(l a strong influ- ence in bringing many Maritimers to consider for the first time the possibility of political union.
“l .‘lltl not offering interprovin- cial travel or good fellowship as a cure-all for the ills of Canada.” Mr. Gordon hastened to explain. “But as I know \chI from my own ex- pcrinnvc. :luro is something about personal contact—about. first-hand knowledge of how the other per- son lives and works and feels— which acts octter than anything else to bring a'ovut a feeling that one can work with this perSOn towards a common objective."
It was in this light that he view- ed the inuioriance of cm centennial celebrations in Prince Edward Is- lwnd this: year. By helping Can- adians from all parts of the country to know more of their own history and to become better acquainted with each other. he suggested. the cele- Irratiolis represent for this reason alone “n significant contribution to
(‘unadian unity and to Canadian maturity." .\lr. (lot-don touched on many
other aspccts of “the idea and spirit" of Confcdvruiion. but we thought these remarks particularly appro- priate to our centennial program. and encouraging to all engaged in making it .'I success.
A Needed Reform
It is to be hoped that due at- tention will be given to a private bill which has been introduced in the House of Commons by Mr. Robert Temple. Liberal member for Hastings South. This bill would provide for the automatic commuta- tion of a death sentence where a court of appeal is not unanimous in confirming the conviction. The principle hcie is one that should command the full support. of the House.
In commending this proposal. the Toronto Globe and Mail points out. that when a man is on trial for his life. he CHllJtlt by law be convicted unless all 12 jurors—who are not men expert in law or evidence—are convinced of his guilt. Yet when his fate is handed to the higher courts, where all of his judges are men highly versed in lav: and evid- ence, a bare majority is sufficient to send him to the rope.
Surely if even one judge of eiih- er provincial appeal court or Sup- reme Court of Canada is so filled with reasonable doubt of a man‘s guilt or the fairness of his trial as to dissent from his fellow judges‘ decision to uphold conviction. soc- iety takes a fearful risk in hanging an innocent man.
The Globe and Mail recalls that this actually happened in Toronto. in the case of Arthur Lucas. who went to the gallmvs despite a strong case made by one member of the Supreme Court. to allow his ap- peal: and there have been a good many consciences in Toronto that have not rested easin since.
Even those who may believe in the validity of capital punishment may well feel that there is need for a change in our existing laws. (.0 the point at least where a judge's doubts should provide valid grounds for commutation of the sentence.
EDITORIAL NOTES
The. Department of National Health and Welfare advises that farm machinery will figure in ac- cident reports as soon as the land is workable. Many crippling or fatal accidents are due to neglect or carelessness or the practice of allow- ing youngsters to operate tractors or other heavy equipment. for which they have neither the strength or good judgment. Something worth keeping in mind.

PUBLIC
FORUM
SEAL HUNTING Sir.~'f|iere have been very inisleaduiz statements in the news of late concerning seal
liuutin: which at first l was go- '
in: to lot so by as I thought it
was a flurry and excitement that ‘
would soon die a natural death, However when there are insin- uations repeatedly given that are damaging to the characters of hard working men. 1 «'cel as a conscicntous person with [our years‘ experience watching this operation that I should not stand by with a guilty silence and al- low those men to be mistreated by those who have exaggerated beyond all reason.
The most damaging insinua- (ion is that the seals are being
skinned alive. then released to . run around on the ice after-I
wards. This is an absolute ini- possibility as the only way the seal can move around on the ice is by its flippers. when the pelt is taken off the flippers come with ll How could it possibly run around?
There may be some skinners that have treated the seals in the wrong way. but does that mean that this is common prac- tice as has been insinuated'.’ I have seen some butchers stick a knife in the throat of a pig and allow it to run around until dropped. but this does not mean that all same thing.
The Press has it thal the seals are clubbed to death. hen a butcher stuns an animal with a large hammer before bleeding it. is this clubbng it to death? The way the crew proceed to kill that our planes fly for (and I think I can speak for the majority of aircraftl is to stun the seal then bleed it. the habit is to do three
and skin the first one.
Another statement was that
the skinner: were cutting the.
tails off to obtain the tag placed here by the pa ment 0 Fisheries for which they pay $2.00. There was one skinner that. was known to cut the tail off a seal that was too small to take and released it but this was not an aircraft crew mem r and his superior warned that if it was done again he would be lir- ed immediately. Why do people have to give the impression that this is common practice? It is unfortunate that the Depart- ment of Fisheries was instru- mental in this case In provoking this man without heart to do such a thing. (or some men would do anything for two dol-
luv. Another statement made wu
somt‘ ‘
the butchers do the-
that there has been recordings
taken of seals crying as they are skinned alive. Now this is t definitely a false statement as
anyone with any experience at all with seals knows full well that the only time a young seal cries is when it is left by the mother As soon as a person ‘ goes ncar they are quiet. even I when touched they only crouch making no noise. Still another report was that j the water was red with blood. I This is not an exaggeration of 1 the truth but rather a deliberate I lie. for anyone with c om mon . some will readily agree that it would take an inconceivable amount of blood to even color the Gulf of St.
ice and the blood never reaches . the water: but this only shows the way they play up a story. The reporter that. makes others

This may be a big year for German measles (rubellat. At the time of this writing. there is an outbreak of epidemic propor- tions in New York. The disease may spread elsewhere because
causative viruses are not governed by Eeographic- al limitation. It usually is mild and of short duration and should not pose a serious threat except to some women during the first three months of pregnancy.
Children are most susceptible and develop it 14 to 23 days af- ter exposure. Symptoms resem- bling a mild cold are present during the first 12 to 23 hours preceding the rash. Other (ell- tale signs are swelling and ten- derness of the glands along the back of the neck. These manifes- tations suggest rubella. expecial- Iy when an epidemic exists. But diagnosis is impossible until the eruption appears.
The rash consists of rose col— ored. slightly elevated lesions varying in size from that of a pinhead to a pea. It begins on the face and spreads quickly over the entire body. At ( til 5 stage it may resemble scarlet
fever but later looks more like .

The argument runs that Brit- ain was obliged by treaties to retaliate for five attacks on fed- eration territory by Yemeni air- craft in recent months. More- } over. Britain needs to retain the confidence of the federation‘s rulers in order to protect Aden -the bastion of influence over British Middle East oil inter- i csts.
