E SURE TO
SEE
THE
Restless Ones
a penetrating motion picture that dares
to provide an answer to youth's
relentless search for reality!
Perhaps no resource is so mistreated, mis-
managed or misunderstcod as our young
people. Temptations abounding inde-
pendence unlimited , irresponsible parents,
many "well-meaning" but engrossed in
materialism . confused alders and coun-
selors . corruption in positions high and
low .. fluctuating concepts and theories of
morality and God the explosive atmos-
phere of cold wars and hot. But where is a
clear-cut call to find intelligent meaning to
life—to reality?
Here's an answer — the answer — which
goes beyond mere analysis of our times,
decrying of our situation and sordid portrayal
of our failures. From despair. confusion.
hopelessness, to the answer of faith and
commitment.
You see it, and urge others to see it. For
our young people's sake. For a better world.

8 Clinton News-l3eoord, Thursday, March 124 1i.970
The following letter to the
_editor was intghded for.last
week's paper but inodvertantly
left.out.
In the February 25 edition of
the London Free Press there
appeared an account of the
hearing held in Goderich, before
judge F. 0- Egener of QWen
Sound in connection with the
"brutal murder," on _January 24,
of Miss Katherine McGregor of
Clinton, As the accused is a boy
just under16 years of age, it was
held in juvenile court and the
public was barred.
Since this was the very first
time any details of the
investigation had been made
public, reading it was a shocking
experience, and, presuming it to
be an accurate account, some of
the quotes proved very upsetting
to many readers. For instance;
(Mr, Donnelly) "For the good
of the child and in the interest
of the community" — Is a boy
almost 16 a child? What is in the
interest of the community?
(Mr. Donnelly) "...4 good
bright boy who was shy and
retiring, with a potential he
doesn't realize and who needs
constant reminding and
supervision." — Don't most
teenagers need reminding and
supervision? and potential for
-what? — Deceit? theft? violence?
sadism?
(Probation Officer) After
testifying the boy was ambitious
and not lazy, said "He has the
ability to respond to strict
stinerviSion and can benefit from
guidance and discipline' — If
this is the officer in whose
charge the accused was, pending
the hearing, would there he
sufficient time, 9r OPPortOrlity,
to really evaluate his ambition or
_other characteristics? And what
teenager can't benefit from
guidance and discipline?
Chief Westlake said the boy
was "Very co-operative and
quiet — has been no' problem
and responds to my directions"
— Was it not to his advantage,
under the circumstances, to be
as co-operative as possible?
(Chief Westlake) "There was
no evidence of premeditation in
the case" — maybe so, but was
there any evidence to show there
was not premeditation?
(Chief Westlake) "After the
arrest, things returned to
normal" — agreed with defence
council that "There is now a
ground swell of sympathy for
the boy" — How does one
estimate a "Return to normal"
or a "Ground swell of
sympathy?" One wonders just
from whom or from what the
Chief and defence council gained
these impressions. We, who live
in Clinton, have very different
ones. In fact, since the
above-mentioned account
appeared, there seems to be a
very considerable ground swell
of indignation, dismay and
horror: Up to that time there
was no information WA which
t9 baSe any opinion.
(Mr. Donnelly) "Murder is
not enough to send it up," What
is? In view of Inspector Lyle's
description of the condition of
the body was this not more than,
murder — was it not brutal
unnecessary Sadistic murder?
(Mr. Donnelly) "The vital,„
consideration is the reclamation
of this boy." While very much in
favor of reclamation of young
lives, there is also the question
of the community, i.e. everyone,
If trial be in juvenile court the
charge is delinquency and the
penalty is a training school until
the age of 18 — or in this case 2
years and 3 months.
If in a higher court the charge
is murder, in some degree or
other, with possible life sentence
and probable parole in, maybe
ten years.
More questions arise — Is 2
years and 3 months a long
enough. period to rehabilitate a
boy? Or is it long enough to
compensate for the horrible
crime of which he is accused? Is
it long enough to act as any kind
of deterrent to others? Is it long
enough to promote public safety
and freedom from fear? And,
will it foster public confidence
in our courts?
In the final analysis to what
should we give priority?
Yours truly,
Concerned
flbe editor;
At the meeting of Hullett
township ratepayers last week in
Londesher0, many of the
farmers involved in the wildlife
project expressed the opinion
that "money will talk,"
Did those who were speaking
ever stop to think that the
homestead they were raised on
cannot be replaced so easily?
Did they think of the neighbors
who helped them get started?
Who will be around to help
those neighbors who helped you
after you move?
