New Traffic Safety Signs

As I means of improving traf- fic conditions in the City, an in- novation in traffic signs will be introduced in the Brighton dis- trict with I view to eliminating stops when no oncoming traffic is approaching.

Chief of Police MacArthur while motoring through the United States last summer was impress- ed by road and street signs, which instead of reading "Stop", were seen to bear the words, "Yield liighl Of Way." Chief lilac- Arthiir felt that such signs could. Lin some areas of the City. be lused to advantage and after con- siiltation with the Police Commit- tee has decided to use these signs .at strccls emerging on Brighton Ii :zd.

"The meaning of the si" . "Yield The Right Of Way". s Chief MacArthur. "is self evi- dent". All motorists. when driving and confronted by such a siftn. must give way and yield to otlier IY9l1l(1leS travelling on the strccl they are about to enter. The Chef points out that the full respond- bility is on the driver of the car confronted by the sign to proceed only when safe to do so.

Chief MacArthur states that these signs have been used wiih success elsewhere and if found to be a convenience and improve- ment they will be extended to other parts of the City. Citizens are reminded that extreme care is to be used at such designated points.

John Dleleubalur (PC - Prince Albert) said in the common: that unless the law is c ed in re- spect to examination discov- erytherewillbeadrylngupof information sources on which Ca- inadian newspapers must depend. (The British Columbia courts have struck out the right of defence of Blair Fraser. Ottawa editor of Maclean's magazine. in a libel suit brought by Gordon Wiamor. for- mer B.C. attorney-general. At I pre-trial examination for discov- ery. Mr. Fraser refused to divulge his sources of information for a 1952 article in Maclean'I entitled "B.C. Coalition Commits Suicide." PROCEDURE VARIES

(An examination for discovery is a form of examination preceding a trial in civil suits and varies by provinces.)

Mr. Diefenbaker spoke of the Fraser case in seeking Commons support for a bill on human rights, which he has championed for years.

He 1 quested a bill which would assure all Canadians freedom of Speech. religion. press and radio; that habeas corpus shall not be abrogated or suspended except by Parliament; that no one shall be deprived of liberty or properly without due process of law and NV” by Kovernment order - in- council.

CHALLENGE To PRESS

He said the Fraser case is a bigger challenge to the sanctity of the doctrine of freedom of the press than anything experienced in re- cent times.

It -cllresented a "serious dan- ger" and an encroachment on the rights of the press to obtain and disseminate information.

He quoted from the newspaper trade magazine Editor and Pub- lisher which described the case as an "unbelievably dangerous prece- dent."

Mr. Diefenbakcr said the case means any newspaper can be sited for libel if it refuses to disclose its source 0' information. PROTECTED IN BRITAIN

British experience hat shown the necessity of maintaining free- dom of the press and British news- pancrs were protected in cases similar to the Fm."-er case.

At aitother point. Mr. Diefen. baker yqunt:-(l from a brief by the Canadian Daily Newspapers Assoc- iation which favored a Canadian bill of rights.

Justleoelilnlxtor Garson. oppos- ing the motion. said in effect that a bill of rights would accomplish nothing that can not be done by I simple act of Parliament or of the provincial legislatures. ' were infringed. reform could be applied by statute.

Mr. Garson said the big problem is finding a way rights can be "superimposed" on the Canadian constitution without

llament and the legislatures. COULD NOT AMEND STATUTE

He could not see what the Fraser case had to do with a bill of rights. The dlfficulbr Mr. Diefenbaker re- ferred to could be cured by I simple amendment to the B.C. statutes.

Presumably this could be done by provincial legislation which would permit newspaper men to decline to name their sources of information in court actions.

Mr. Dlefenbaker said the "mon- strous burlesque” of "McCarthy- ism" does not exist in Canada. But at the same time. civil ser- vants removed or transferred from jobs as security risks were not permitted to hear the evidence against them and had no appeal from the ouster orders.

ABUSES CREEP IN

cases rights in the federal field.

He said the immigration depart- ment carries out regulations con- trary to the law; orders-in-council denied some persons right of up- peal in the courts: certain per- sons were refused entry to Can- ada because of their race; the revenue department could deny entry to Canada of newspapers. magazines and books.

lllr. Diefenbaker said he hopes that at the present session a bill will be introduced by the govern- ment establishing an independent regulatory body for the CBC and private radio stations.

CBC ALSO JUDGE

It might be said that the CBC did not use its power against the private stations but possession of absolute power had persuasive- ness. The CBC was not only a competitor of private stations but also their judge.

It was the first private mem- bers' day since the opening of Parliament Jan. 7. At one point. only 55 of the 264 members were in the House. At another. only 27 of tlhe 172 Liberals were in their sea 5.
