STEEP — 4E2.4642 Iti 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. -Bitty Graham mARcH liti d.t7 V ADVANCE TICKET SALES The Cluster, Bayfield; The Woollen Shop, Bayfield; Wilson's Jewellers, Exeter; Jolly Electric & T.V,, Exeter; Rev.

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?
