Need For Leadership

. With Canada’s House of Commons ‘almost on the eve of & free vote on the question’ of abolishing the death

penalty, it is worthwhile to consider

the situation in Franch, where 87 dep- - uties have introduced a bill in the National Assembly. It appears similar.

attempts have been made in the past . in France, without success, The death

penalty remains on the statute book.

Yet relatively few persons are sen-

tenced to death for crimes in the re-

public—17 in the past three years out ‘of # population of 49 million. Of the

17, only four were executed. ~. Here in Canada, under both parties

in recent years, death penalties have yarely been carried out. Since taking .

office in 1963, the present govern- ‘ment has commuted 20 death sen- tences to life imprisonment—indicat- ing very clearly its abhorrence of the -practice of hanging.

" Yet it is being suggested now that

in a. free vote Canada’s Parliament

would come out for capital punish- ment and that in doing so it would be accurately reflecting public opinion.

If this is so, it is @ Clear case of the

exectitive being ahead of public think-

ing and shows the need for a course of education of the public. But, as the

Vancouver Sun suggests, it also shows

the need for more courage at the top.

_In a matter such as this the executive

definitely ; should lead:

In this country we are falling a long way behind Britain in civilized man- ners. Even the House of Lords, which for so long was regarded as reaction- _ary, gave the total abolition of the “death penalty its support and is now_ leading the way to enlightened treat- ment of other social questions which

Canada’s legislators have not even

begun to touch.

Peanut Butter Battle

The beanut butter war, which has occupied the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for part of seven years now, has gotten sticky again. Thus reports the Detriot Free Press, “which attributes the latest blow—and a low one—to a Harvard professor, who has come up with the suggestion that somebody sometime might want to make raspberry-flavored peanut butter. The idea has so horrified pea- nut butter fanciers that the good pro- fessor is in decidedly ill odor.

The hattle, as the Detroit paper ex- plains for those of us who are not. in on it, is between maunfacturers who want some leeway in what they put in peanut butter jars, and the Federa- tion of Homemakers, a women’s lobby which doesn‘t want anything but pea- nuts, and maybe a little salt in peanut butter. The FDA, which has_ been conducting hearings since 1959, sort - of sides with the ladies. :

Manufactuers say they want to add such things as honey, -vegétable oils or sucrose to improve the flavor and keep the peanut butter from becom. . ing rancid. They think that if pea- nut butter is 87 per cent peanuts and the rest is harmless, that’s fine. The women want a 95 per cent minimum. The professor, who undoubtedly has been disowned by now, was testifying for the manufactuers. He assumed that just because moppets add peanut butter to almost anything, they might . like almost anything added to peanut butter.

What puzzles our Detroit contem- porary is why the government is in this squabble at all. The FDA’s job is to see that foods and, drugs are. not harmful and are not falsely represent- ed. The peanut percentage, it argues, should be left on the shelf. If any manufacturer dares defy the women, he does so at his own peril. If they want 95 per cent peanuts and won't buy any other kind, they'll get 95 per rent peanuts. And if they, want rasp- berries, they'll get raspberries,

‘The only ones who've gotten: the

4 a

raspberries so far, it seems, are the L.taxpayers, who've financed this-seven year’s war.

This is one U.S. involvement which we hope our government at Ottawa will have the sense to keep well to the windward of.

Memorable Anniversary This community and province is in- debted in many ways to Canon E.M. Malone, D.D, who was honored at a special service at St. Peter's Cathedral and reception in the church hall on Saturday, on -the occasion of the observance of the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the Anglican priesthood. The jubilee was fittingly marked, too, by a letter of congratula- tion from Her Majésty Queen Eliza- beth and a tribute from the Arch- bishop of the dioeese, Rt. Rev. Wil- liam Davis. » During his long tenure as rector of St. Peter’s Cathedral, from which he retired in 1952, Canon Malone be- came very widely known and esteem- ed, and gave invaluable co-operation ‘and leadership in many worthwhile movements. One citizen—not of his own church—said that meeting the genial Canon on the street, and re- ceiving his salutation, was like a benediction. And indeed his host of friends and well-wishers are of all -denominations, -and- will join in-ex- tending their very best wishes to him — and Mrs. Malone at this time.

An Old Friend Gone

As head of The Guardian's .xjob printing department over a long per- iod of years, the late James F. Duffy | served on several occasions as King’s Printer and later as Queen's Printer for-the Province, and established a

_reputation for thoroughness and re-

liability of which we were all proud. We admired him for his personal qualities, too, though he would have laughed off this tribute if it had been paid in his hearing, for he was the most modest of men; and he would have asked, with that twinkle in his eye which we remember so well, what the boys were trying to put over on him with their blarney.

Jim Duffy was a fine athlete in his youth, and carried into all his activi- ties a sense of sportsmanship which it is the prime function of athletics to develop. In his work, he saw no frea- son -why-a-man who knew liked doing it, shouldn’t put the best | he had into it. He had been doing that for over half a century, and it came natural to him. He had a zest, as well, for the Social amenities, but he enjoyed them in moderation. He was unostentatious, but unfailingly conscientious, in his religious as in his other duties.

Also, and outstandingly, he was a family man, and counted himself rich

as indeed he was—in the affection

vies surrounded him in-his home. °

Here, truly, was the centre of his in- terests, and here, of course his passing will be most keenly felt. But it is a loss which touches all of us who were in close contact with him, and fon whom we speak in tendering our sym- pathy to his loved ones, :

Rebuffed Avast

The cloak of secrecy which Ottawa insists on maintaining over the activi- ties of closed-door federal-provincial conferences was illustrated in an_as- tonishing manner in the House of Commons the other day. David Orlikow, member for Winnipeg North, asked the government for a

list of the delegates who attended the ‘

so-called war on poverty conference called by Tom Kent when he was in charge of this campaign at a princely remuneration. Mr. Orlikow also asked for copies of the working papers pre- sented to the conference. The min- ister, Jean Marchand, said he had no objection to listing those present at the meeting. But he refused to pro- vide copies of the working papers. The newsmen, it seems, had access to some at least of these papers at

_ the conference opening, and that was

- about all they had to go on in compil- ing their reports of the proceedings. Why there should be any secrecy about them at all is incomprehensible.

As the Winnipeg Tribune points out

‘in this connection, here is another warning to Parliament that a new level of policy making and govern- ment is creeping in. If the Commons submits to béing treated as being in- ferior to’ féderal-provincial officials, then Parliament is on its way.to he- coming a kind of amateur theatrical.

Osteoporosis Effects Women

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen |

OSTEOPOROSIS is a_ bone disorder that usually bothers ‘women over 50 years of age. Backache is the most common complaint, but in many instanc- es the first manifestation is a collapsed vertebrae.or a spon- taneous hip fracture. Some of these women lose an inch in height over the years due to the bony changes. The condition is partial to those who consume too little calcium and .protein and lead an inactive or sedentary existence.

Bone is living tissue — active yand changing constan' There is a dynamic balance between | M8, bone formation and bone de- struction. In osteoporosis the amount of bone tissue is de- creased because of unknown fac- tors that discourage bone forma- tion, encourage bone destruc. tion, or a combination of both, In this slow process, calcium Jeaves the framework of the skeleton and is reabsorbed along the surface. The end result is @ more fragile bone.

The condition is diagnosed by a process of elimination. Most of the laboratory tests are normal and the X-ray seldom shows 08- teoporosis until 30 per cent of the bone density is lost. Several
