Temporary Differences

Sir Winston appears to believe that it would be better for the heads of the four States to come together first and then, once the broad objectives had been defined, to leave ultimate solutions-if any be possiblevto the hannels. Mr, Eisenhower, while not dis- counting the value of that kind of ap- lproach, is of the opinion that it would :be wiser to start a bit farther down, per- ihaps at the ambassadorial level, and work up.

Criminal Code Provisions

By Bernard Dufresne Canadian -Press Staff Writer

(Following is the final of three articles on the new Criminal Code which came into effect on April 1.)

From organized labor's view- point the three most important sections of Canada's new Criminal Code deal with sabotage, crim- inal breach of contract and mis- chief. '

The tag "anti-labor" was slapped on the sections but later amend- ments appear to have eased iabor's fears.

The country's three main labor federations. representing about 1,- 100,000 trade unionists. felt the sec- tions, as originally drafted. could be used to curb their right to strike.

The Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, the Canadian Congress of Labor and the Canadian and Catholic Confederation of Labor in Quebec said so in representations to the government, which later added what. are called ”saving clauses" in the sections.

TRADE UNIONS EXEMPTED

The clauses ,.' trade unions. under specific circumstances, from the ambit of the sections.

While Justice Minister Carson and other government supporters in Parliament have said the labor groups were satisifed with the sav- ing clauses, some labor men still regard the three sections with sus- prcion.

The sabotage section provides a penalty of 10 years in penitentiary for a ”prohiblted act" prejudicial to the safety. security or defence of Canada or the safety or secur- ity of allied armed forces stationed in Canada.

The code defines a prohibited act as an act or omission that im-' pairs the efficiency or the work- lng.of any vessel. vehicle. aircraft. machinery or other thing. The definition also covers damage, loss or destruction of private and pub- licly-nwned property.

MISCIIIEF SECTION

The mischief section. which com- bined in simple language some 20

sections of the old code. provides severe penalties for anyone who wilfully damages. destroys or ren- ders property dangerous or inef- fective, or interfers with the law- ful use of property.

The penalties are life imprison- ment when life is threatened. 14 years when public property is in- volved and five years when pri- vate property is affected.

Organized labor argued that since a strike possibly could re- sult in damage to property union members could be charged with, and possibly convicted of. sabo- tage or mischief.

Roughly speaking. the saving clauses exempt workers from prosecution for sabotage or mis- chief if damage to property follows in strike action.

SAVING CLAUSES

The saving clause to both sec- tions also permits a worker at I plant where there is no strike to walk off the job and join the picket line at a strike-bound plant.

The breach of contract section provides sentences of five years in penitentiary for breach of contract which may result in endangering life or property, causing serious bodily injury or depriving citizens of certain public services such as gas. electricity, water or train transportation.

The saving clause added to this section specifies that workers in public utilities are t from pr secution only if the walkout oc- curs after all possible legal steps towards conciliation of a labor dis- pute have been exhausted without success.

The three sections are not new to Canadais criminal law. They ex- lsted in roughly the same form in the old code.

But the rewording undoubtedly will make their application easier. One legislator said during parlia- mentary study of the new code last session that the old breach of con- tract section was so poorly worded it was impossible to obtain a con- victlon.

Mysterious Burial Mounds

, HAY FEVII INJILYIONI IIFOBE IIAION

It's -time in start thinking about fever. - course. in most sections of the country. it": pretty early for Iuy sue to be troubled by pollen from ragweed or other offending plants. But. if, you went to avoid all that sneezing, sniffing and weeping you went through last year. you'd better beziu taking protective injection soon.

Building Up Immunity

You'll wabt to build up an im- munity to the ular poliens which affect you. d the quicker you start, the better off you'll probably be.

You might. begin taking these inlectious about 12 weeks before the pollen season begins. although some doctors advise waiting until about six weeks before the symp- toms are expected to start.

Hay fever. of course, is I mis- nomer. It has nothing to do with buy or fever.

You will be allergic to many things besides pollen, principally inhalants - things you breathe into your body-such as fun! and house dust. Daucier from animal skin, vapors, cosmetics, even per- fumes, mlght set you sneezing

o and wheezing, too.

As a rule, you are sensitive to more than one thing.

Chlefly Affects Men

While hay fever might affect any one of any age, it is more frequent in men than in women. Persons of the white race are vio- tims more often than those of the Negro race.

You are most susceptible If you are between 10 and 40 years old.

If you were really bothered by hay fever last year, and you don't know to what you are allergic, I advise you to have a doctor give you a skin test. This won't hurt you, and it will determine your II- lergies and indicate what treat.- ment is needed to relieve your distress.

If you begin your desensitization injections early enough. you have a pretty good chance of avoiding all, or at least most. of your dis- comfort. If. however. you wait until the pollen season kicks up your allergy, your chances dimin- ish. Injectlous begun during the pollen, season aid only about 40 per cent of the patients.

Some doctors advise patients to continue immunization shots all year round.

Antihlstamine drugs such as diphenhydramine and tripelIuuI- mine are effective in relieving symptoms in about 70 to W per ceut of the cases.

There are other things you can do. too, to help prevent or relieve your own discomfort. But we'll wait to talk about that until the pollen season begins.

Answer: Most such cases re- quire surgery. particularly if backache. stomach pains. painful menstruation and severe discharge are present.
