The Huron Expositor, 1960-06-30, Page 9During a recent debate in the Senate on the matter of enlarging the .grounds for divorce, 'Senator W. H. Golding, of Seaforth, took part. A member of the divorce committee of the Senate for many years, Senator Golding spoke as follows: "I was deeply disturbed' and worried about a ease of this sort being brought before our commit- tee on the sole ground of deser- tion. So far as I know, in the 83 years since Confederation, never before has a ease been set down. for hearing on a ground other than" the one traditionally accepted. by Parliament. Parliament's attitude on grounds for divorce has not changed, "It has been pointed out by the honourable chairman of the com- mittee (Hon. -Mr. Roebuck) that this whole matter was discussed thoroughly and a vote taken. The Senate is on record • in having re- fused to enlarge the grounds for divorce. The House of Commons has taken the same position. The question before the house at the present time is simply the adop- tion of these reports, and as far as I am concerned, I would not consider that I was in order at all to deal ,with the merits of enlarg- ing the grounds. for divorce. That is not the question before the house at the present time. "Honourable senators, in com- mittee we felt that for very good reasons we should not even hear this petition at all. In. the first place, we naturally wished to be loyal to the Senate and the atti- tude it..takes, and we had full knowledge that the Senate did not 'approve -of enlarging the grounds for divorce, Secondly, we also felt that there was no good reason, after all these years, why_ we should consider a case which in our opinion does not meet with the requirements of Parliament. Our third reason was that we had no -intention and no desire of estab- lishing a precedent by hearing the .evidence in this case. "My honourable friend referred to the statement that there are some 50,000 deserted women in the Dominion of Canada. I have• heard the same figures quoted, but whe- ther it is correct or not I do not know. In any case, other cases of the kind will follow. The courts will not grant a divorce on the, 'grounds of desertion. •alone, al- though the salutary effect on those who think that they are going to use the members of this commit- tee as guinea pigs to satisy their curiosity, by bringing some test case which hasno: chance of being recommended for divorce. We•have no intention at .all of being open to that possibility. "In this particular case the peti- tion was filed before we knew any- • thing about it. Perhaps there is nothing wrong about that. On the. other hand, I contend that • any radical departure from the normal policy we have followed year after year should have been known to the members of the 'committee, and I think my contention is sound. "When we were, confronted with this problem we had to consider what we should do. I am speaking not only for myself but for the ov- erwhelming majority of the com- mittee when I say that were were foully 'convinced in our own -thins that we would have nothing what- soever to do with the case. How- ever, the petition is -in. The hon- ourable chairman of the commit- tee referred to a motion which I will now read. It was moved by myself, and seconded by the hon- ourable Senator Barbour: "That 'the petition of Dorothy Nora Alice Hurst Earle, now on file, asking for: a divorce solely on the grounds of desertion, be reject- ed, since this committee has no present intentions of recommend- ing a divorce on any grounds oth- er than that which has been tra ditionally accepted as proper grounds -for such action by the Parliament of Canada. "I do not want to take up the time of the house by going ovet this again. The province of Nova Scotia, I understand, accepts cruel- ty as a ground. If we heard the evidence in this particular case there would be no reason in , the world why every . person in the same position as this woman, , whose case might just as deserv- ing should not file a similar peti- tion. It is not that we are unsym- pathetic towafilthese people, but we must be governed by Mw and order, and if we were placed in `tbe•'psition that people were flock nig -here— - Hon.'Mr. Choequette: "From all provinces". Hon. Mr. Golding:. "Yes, from all provinces—the position would be impossible. I think there' is a song that runs something like this: "Look down, look down the road before you start." Hon. Mr. Smith (Queens -Shel- burne): "Lansesome road!" 'Who Says Reducing is Difficult? CALGARY, ALBERTA. "I , want to tell you how pleased I am with the Naran Plan, I have never found it easier to take off those unwanted pounds, I feel so much better, have more energy and for the first time in years I don't have that heavy bloated i feeling after eating. The Naran Plan is truly grand ,for anyone Who has tried- as I have to lose . weight- and given up because of starvation diets or tiring exer- cise." D. A. Hergert, 22nd Ave., Calgary, Alta.

Gat the Naran Plan from your "drttggist today, it is simple:;and . . sold on it money haat giiarahhtee. TI'on, 'Mr. Goldipg: "We do not need to get into these situations at all. We.can;take the position which we did take inthis case. In tiuir humble opinion the position we have taken in -#his case will have a bearing in the future, -I don't want to repeat -all that was said with regard to this case, but I wish to say that what we did we believed to be the 'sound and sensi- ble thing. The petition is before the committee now, and if honour- able senators pass the motion they will endorse the stand which we took in this particular case. "I want to say a word about our chairman. We were disturbed, and another senator and I went to him and told him we were worried about the situation and he was very fair about the whole matter. He said if I felt as keenly about this• petition as be was sure I did feel, I had a perfect right to have the matter brought to the atten- tion of the full committee on the following Monday. The consensus indicated that the committee was strongly against having anything to 'do with the petition other than to dismiss it. Well, after some discussion the chairman suggested that we have, anis it was my thought that -we should have, a full meeting of the Divorce Committee so that every member would be present and have a voice in whatewas being done. The chairman agreed to notify all members of the holding of a special meeting, and he agreed that I had a perfect right to give at that time notice of a resolution and to bring it in to be considered at the special Meeting. This was done, and as was point- ed out by the honourable •senator frpm Winnipeg South (Hon. Mr. Thorvaldson) the committee car- ried that resolution by a vote of 12 to 3. "At that meeting the chairman told us, and I repeat what he said then, that he was a good enough democrat to abide by the deecision' of the committee. That he"'has done in moving adoption pf the committee's report. "We want to continue to get along in harmony and peace with each• other, and there is no reason why we should not do that and con- tinue our work.' My hope is that the Senate will endorse what we have done." ':Rebekohs Install Mrs. J.

It• sure is a swell summer pastime, don't you think? The lads in charge of the draw would like all participants to ar- range to be on the job as close to 7:30 as possible, in order that rinks can be completed and start- ed on time.

Heard over the grape vine where a number of our fairer sex and lady bowlers (or are they) journey- ed to Clinton last week to partici- pate in an event at that club. Re- sult? No wins; two ties; one loss— sounds somewhat like a box score at a hardball game. Our informant reports that Jas. MacDonald and glamorous Frank Sills (Seaforth's best bowlers) jour- neyed to. Goderich on Wednesday (to bowl). Frank says the prizes were all mechanical,.. since they just could not catch one. Result? Three losses!

DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL: Our dentists can play an important role in detect- ing cancer early. True, the mouth is not so ferquent a site of cancer as the lungs, .intestines or breast, but it is not uncommon. Cancer of the mouth can strike the lips, tongue, inner cheek, palate, etc. As with most cancers there is no pain when they are small. , Have your dentist examine, any sore spot that doesn't heal or an unusual swelling or numb feeling in any part of the mouth. There are many.'causes of ulcers and lumps in the houth which aren't cancerous and generally there need be no concern when something ab- normal is found. - Since there is no simple way to tell an early cancer from a benign sore, a biopsy is frequently advis- ed. Cancers in and around the mouth are more frequent in older people, especially men who have been smokers all their lives. Since your dentist can detect early hidden mouth cancers, peri- odic visits are recommended. Fre- quently ill-fitting dentures result in mouth sores, and rectifying this situation is a two -fold service. Almost every case df mouth can- cer is curableif caught early. Don't hesitate to get prompt are. (Q): "My girl had pain under her right- breast bone. When it persisted I took her to the pedia- trician who said she had an en- larged liver and that I shouldn't worry. What does this mean and where is the liver?" Mrs, .N. P. (A): Ask your doctor specifical- ly what is wrong. If he said not to worry, I'm fairly sure this is a passing thing. If her pain or timer enlargement—or both—per- sists, some special tests may be needed to find the cause. The liver is in the right upper abdomen just under the lung• diaphragm. .
