Poisoners low form of life

hile a multitude of dogs running
wild or chasing ears along the
streets creating a traffic hazard
causes our blood pressure to rise, we
cannot abide people who sneak around
destroying other people’s pets. The
fact that 10 dogs have died through-
out the city for a mysterious reason is
not a coincidence and it is the consi-
dered opinion of ‘veterinarian Dr. JJ.
D. Proctor of Smithers that the dogs
were killed by strychnine. Few dogs
(lie of heart attacks and dogs hit by
cars are easily recognizable, It would
appear that someone has a hate on
against dogs and with the typical low
mind of the poisoner has decided to
take the law into his own hafids."~"" ~~
Well, he doesn’t have to. There are
aufficient laws in Prince Rupert to
control dogs. If they are unlicenced
and loose they can be picked up and
destroyed humanely:.-If they are li-
cenced and still loose, and are causing
4 nuisance: they::ean.be picked up and
impounded. andthe owner has a chance
to claim: them within a certain time.
If. they. are not claimed they can be
destroyed humanely. Any dog causing

 

  

sufficient noise to be disturhing the
public can be rounded up under the
anti-noise bylaw and the awner can
be charged.

However, taking the law into one’s
own hands is frowned on, if not dis-
couraged in Canada. If fact there are
laws against it and the poisoner, who-
ever he is, should know that Section
386 of the Criminal Code states:

“Everyone who wilfully and
without lawful exeuse (a) Kills,
maims, wounds, poisons or injures
dogs, birds or other animals who
are not cattle and are kept for law-
ful. purposes or (b) Places poison in

such a position that it may be easily. -- --

consumed by dogs, birds or other
animals ... is guilty of an offence
punishable on summary conviction.”

The penalty for such*an offence
ranges from a fine up to a maximum
of two years less a day in a:provin-
cial jail. me

So watch your step My. Poisoner.

Sooner or later you're going: to” slip
up in your filthy work and with luck,
yowll be placed behind bars.’

Bookstand filth a F

ew problems o f contemporary community
life seem more baffling than one that has
recently been much under discussion in Vic-
toria: how to rid the bookstands lastingly of
reading matter that sinks far below common
“vandards of morality and healthy-mindedness,
without turning Mrs. Grundy loose upon less
offensive literature and art.

Perhaps the problem can never be fully

solved unlegs the unlikely, day comes when the —

national censelence regards the dangers . of
published corruption and perversion as out-
‘eos tang the dangers that exist in censorship,
(4; tensorship which inecipiently is reason-
cow and intelligent. That day, happily for
Conds’. tradition of freedom from state con-
‘yauled thought and expression, is not in sight.

The cure being worse than the disease,
Conadian communities are left with less effec-
tive remedies, and none has yet proved entirely
pilisfuctory. But that is no reason why they
should not be used.

The difficulty is in dividing filth for dirt’s
sake from sex for art’s sake.

‘The average, normal adult has no trouble in
telling the difference, nor in seeing that re-
currently an abundance of material appears on
the stands that is designed only to be sexually
cxeiting or to appeal to warped Instincts,

GREAT RITUAL OF OFFICE LIFE

But practically always such ‘publications
contain as much “literature” as is calculated to
qualify them as borderline cases in the eyes of
justice. And Attorney-General Robert Bonner
has realistically noted the obstacles that stand
in the way of securing convictions in border-
line instances of having possession for sale of
obscene material,

“The expressed determination of the Victoria

pefice commission to prosecute whenever -pos- — -
. gible;s-therefore, and its appeal to the public

to report confidentially any suspected maga-
zines or books, May appear to hold scant pro-
mise of success. Attempts to convict sellers of
smut, however, can be expected to have a
salutary effect even if they fail, and thus it is
to be hoped that the police will have the fullest
and most sensible co-operation of the public
in this regard,

But even more important is it that social
and if necessary cconomic pressure to clean up
the hookstands and Keep them clean be exerted
continuously by the community. Sporadic waves
of indignation have resulted in temporary im-
provements; the need is for unremitting display
of the distaste of parents and eitizens not only
for filth and abnormality in word and picture,
but for those who would purvey it. ‘)

Royal Commission on Health
clearing house for knowledge

over thousands of Canadians

month. .
They were the members .of

last stretch of their informa-
tion-gathering journey across

From the mass of briefs

submitted to them by doctors,
dentists, nurses, druggists,

citizens, and from their own
sourees of information, the
commissioners will compile 4

its report can influence Par-
Hament and the public to

illness and sharing its cost.

Spectacular leap forward

Medical knowledge has made
a spectacular leap forward in
the last 10 years. Most germ
diseases have heen conquered
or soon will be. Those ereat
killers, cancer and heart dis-
ease, are under attack from
several directions—liochemi-
eal research, chemotherapy
and surgery.

“Ty 1913 only one eanccr
patient: in 10 survived,’ Prof.
Herman gomers and Anne
Somers reported in their au-
thoritative hook, “Doctors, Pit~

“Now:. . . one third are

could be raised to one-half if

In other words, some people

interpretation of the theme

VICTORIA—When the Pre-
mier’s away, as he was for
nearly a week, it’s never as
exciting in the Legislature.
It's something Hke home with-
out a mother.

Oppositionists dearly love to
bait Mr. Bennett; sometimes
he ignores them, which they
don’t like, but generally he
nibbles on their bait, thus giv-
ing himself an excuse to make
a big speech.

I have been observing... the
' Levislature, fronr' the ° Press

Gallery, for quite some ycars
now, and I have scen four pre-
miers in action, T. D. Pattullo,
John Hart, Byron Johnson and
Ww. A.C. Bennett. So that I
do not date myself, I must ex-
plain that my recollections of
Mr. Pattullo, as premier, are

somewhat hazy, but I was
there just the same. And I
hope I’m still there in the

spring of 1965 to see if Mr.
Benneit peats Richard Mc-
Bride’s record as longest-term
premier in B.C. history.

Mr. Bennett, I would = say,
makes more speeches than
Messrs. Pattullo, Hart and
Johnson ever did, perhaps
more than the three of them
combined, Of four, he has
been premier longer than any
of these three, In the Pattie,
Hart and Johnson eras, ib was
the teehnique for the pre~
mier---and enbinel ministers,
Loo-—Lo remain as silent as
possible. That’s why sessions,
in those days, were shorter
than they are today. Cabinet
ministers did not read long
reports of thelr departments
—whieh, I must say, T feel is
wasted time and petting no-
where,

Annosition Leader Robert
Strachan. likes to make oul.
that Premier Bennett is so ar-
rogant and dictatorial, so
bossy and so snippy, that he
never tells the Legislature
nnvthing of what goes on in
high places. Mr, Strachan
should look back Into history.
He'd find out that compnred
to Messrs, Pattullo, Wart and
Johnson, Mr, Bennett Is an
absolute binhber-nyouth,
