THE . INDUSTRIAL MORTGAGE AND TRUST COMPANY Established 1889 F48EA SARNIA PETROWA �!m rofest 4.aro Members of the Huron Coun- ty Hog Producers' Association have approved a resolution protesting the Connaught La- boratories' ,venture into large- scale swine production. The resolution will be sent to the provincial association. Malcolm Davidson, . of RR 1, Brucefie'ld, a director, said the Toronto laboratory Wends to sell about 25,000 gilts a year for the next two or three years. "If the quality is as low as some people suggest, it could have an effect on our hog qual- ity program," Mr. Davidson told delegates to the annual meeting. Huron County is third in pro- vincial hog production to Wa- terloo and Perth Counties. Mr. Davidson said the labor- atory started the prtfgraIn as an experiment and has extend- ed it to a breeding program. The whole operation, he said, is 'heavily subsidized by the University of Toronto. Eldred Aiken, a member of the provincial hog producers' association, said he was "deep- ly interested in the resolution," "The laboratories were not operating only in. Ontario, but out west, where they are hav- THIS' WEED( ing a free hand," he said. Guest speaker, Ben Steers, of Bradford, president of•the pro- vincial group, said every advan- tage must be taken to increase the quality of pork if Canada is .to stay in the market. Feed Freight Charge There is a great deal of talk that the existing grading meth- od is not giving a trite -picture of the bacon hog, he said. He -urged that some 'method, be found to grade hogs on foot, rather than after they are slaughtered. In other business, the associa- tion approved a resolution to the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture seeking -a change in feed freight assistance policy. The resolution suggests feed dealers and companies are tak- ing advantage of the assistance, a war -time measure introduced by the federal government. The association wants a pol- icy similar to. the deficiency payment made on eggs. The assembly yards commit- tee of the provincial associa- tion will be asked to establish' two or more assembly .yards within the county. At present the only one is located at Clin- and NEXT When Killing Has to Stop By RAY ARGYLE The Canadian Parliament, sometimes after it resumes _sit- ting in mid-February will de- bate a government motion to abolish the death penalty for murder. Because the cabinet has decided to allow a free vote y , MPs riot bound_ by party 1 s'• s, the proposal has thus be- come a - matter of conscience for every MP. What are the chances that the, death penalty which has been sparsely carried •out in Canada in recent years, will now be .abolished?' The prospect •for abolition is now considered about fifty-fifty. Most members of ' the cabinet, including Prime Minister Pear- son, are believed to favor aboli- tion. Opposition leader John Diefenbaker also • t will likely vote . for abolition. The only party which official- ly favors abolition are the New Democrats. The Creditistes are mainly opposed, while Liberal and Tory ranks are split about even. The cabinet's decision to give MPs the opportunity of ca free vote came late in 1964, and co- incided with the action of the British House of Commons. which voted for abolition in one of its first moves under the new Labor government. The death penalty -"except for treason - is on its way out all over the world. Only France and Spain retain capital pun- ishment in Europe. Nine Am- erican states have abolished it. Therehave been no hangings in Canada since Prime Minister Pearson took office nearly two years ago, and only 14 execu- tions; were carried out under the five years of the Diefen- baker government. Nine • men are at present under sentence of death in Canada -five in Que- bec, two in New Brunswick, and one each in Alberta -and British Columbia. Whatever • the merits of the death penalty as a deterrent to murder, there are no figures to prove its effect. Its abolition in v.ario'us countries has led to neither increases nor decreases in the 'murder rate. Even the present Canadian compromise of calling for the death penalty only for capital murder, and not for unpremeditated killings, has had no statistical effect on the crinie rate of this • country; Those who argue for abolition of the' death penalty, and I am one of them, do not do so out of any sense of sympathy for killers. Protection of society must be our first concern. The question `can be asked, however, what good does the. W. E. SOUTHGATE Seaforth--Phone 527-0400- deathpenalty do? Its harmful effects on society are there for all to see. I have witnessed two executions and believe .it is savagery made all the more gruesome by its offi- cial sanctioning. It will always be morally wrong to take a life. Innocent men and women have died because of it.• Execution of the murderer does not re- store life to his victim. But it does reduce society to his level. The main argument for re- tention of capital punishment is that it is a deterrent. It ob- vjously, doesn't work out that way. The twisted sex 'monster; the dope -crazed gunman, the scared kid holding Lip a filling station -they're not .thinking of the consequences of their ac- tions when they commit mur- der-. - If only the problem were that simple. If only all inhuman acts could be forestalled by setting up deterrents against them. But until all of us are reasoning, reasonable human beings,our responsibilities will never be discharged- simply by killing off the unreasoning. • FROM CO-OP•_ MORE POWER when you need it ... through controlled' volatility. ki er;Gf-fi4e premium extras Vou je;t wli i, C0.OP, revel Gasoline.
