Many believe there must be a concerted effort to lift society's general level of morality and respect tar other persons, that there is a desperate need for developing sound moral consciences in the young c )titers believe that something as sim- ple as staking it harder to get guns. Recently. 1 read that tate last public hanging in Canada took place at Goderich in -1869. Of course. there were hangings after that date. up to 1962. in fact. Ilowever. it is only nine years ago that Canada abolished capital punishment. Today. there is outcry to bring it back. which is the outcome of the rage telt over the killing ol seven police in 1984. '''here is also the fear that in this •country, violence is so out of control that only the death penalty will con- tain it. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has sated there will be a tree vote on the issue in the House of Commons. A pull taken in November of M.P.s in- dicated that if the vote had been taken then. the death penalty would be back 11 Canada does vote for the return of capital punishment. it will separate itself from most western na-- tions and join the shrinking list ol countries like Iran.

The article also points out that murder is usually a crime of passion. not planning. More than a third ul murders are committed within the family-. another third among friends or colleagues. One in 10 involves strangers. one in 10 happens during It Seems to me... the execution of another offense. First degree murder must be plann- ed and deliberate. or of a peace of- ficer, or committed during certain other criminal acts, such as rape or robbery. or by a person previously convicted 01 murder. The sentence is MR. AND MRS. DAN BORM Donna Jean Wilson and Daniel Etienne Borm were united in mar- riage. October 20, 1984 at Cen- tralia United Church with Rev. B. Crowe officiating.

Second degree murder is tor all other-inteo-- tional killings. and the convict tnay apply for parole after 10 years.' Manslaughter is killing through negligence. but without intent to kill. Some people feel we should at least enact the death penalty on those con- victed of first degree murder. 1lowever a person is just as dead if he is killed by a (trunk driver as he is if hes killed by a bank robber. Manv more people are killed by (drunk drivers than by rubbers. yet. 00 one would suggest that we hang them. and in tact. they are often given a light sentence. • Rev. Dennis Doyle. who has work- ed in two federal penitentiaries says the fear. the anger. the thirst for revenge that leads us to demand the death penalty are the sante emotions that lead to murder. "We're used to instant -everything. \1'e want instant solutions to violence." says a member of the Church Council on Justice. would prevent many deaths. They could be right...of 73 police killed bet- ween 1961 and 1980. 71 were shot. Surely it's not an infringement on human rights to make gun control so rigid that potential killers cannot have access to a wide array of lethal weapons', There are others who advocate the banning of the violence we swatch on Right -4.1 television saying this would reduce violent crimes. None of these - things stop murder completely. but they might do a lot more to deter it than the electric chair. 01 course. -it tears at -our souls•when we hear of a brutal murder. especial- ly it the victim is a.defenseless child. But revenge in the torte of the death penalty has never restored a dead person nor, I think. brought much consolation to the family of the vic- tim. It seems to tee. this kind of revenge only feeds the sickness of our society. Christ said. "You have learned what was told in the past. 'an eye for an eye. and a tooth for a tooth.' but what I tell you is this: Do not set yourself against the person who wrongs you. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn and offer hint your left." Is that lust plain foolishness. or is it the way to our survival" 11 BED • BATH • KITCHEN • GIFTS JANVARY SALE Wed.
