It will be several days at least before the real punch of the vote will be rer:eived, CORPORAL PUNISHMENT N o Corpgral punishment is a prime subject of discus- sion in England these days. Last year Parliament withdrew from Judges and Magistrates the power to! order criminals flogged. A recent outbreak of criminal violence, with many instances of juvenile brutality toward old folk, has revived the old question of “spare The Washingfon |a New Englander, the rod and spoil the child.” One Magistrate has gone on record: “The only way to stop London's juvenile gangsters is to bring back the birch.” Lord Chief Justice Goddard in Old Bailey recently expressed re- zret that he could not order whippings for two youths who attacked and robbed a woman on a train. Others in England have advocated the return of in the direction of progress remains a moot question. The outery in favor of public floggings of sex 'riminals is understandable. Whether this stems from a savage impulse of retailation or a real desire to deter 's another moot question. Ostensibly those who com- mit sex crimes are mentally ill, or are not responsible for their own impulses. In some cases the fear of public flogging might spur sex criminals on to murder to cover up their actions. In others, however, it might serve as a wholesome deterrent. The Taku Highway (Prince Rupert Daily News) | The international move for a road which, with the assistance of a short ferry, would connect the Alaska aska Highway, is of particular interest to Prince Rupert 1ska Highway, is of particular inteerst to Prince Rupert Already the establishment of a car ferry service from ‘Prince Rupert to Southeast Alaska ports is much to the fore. The principal argument in its favor has been the utility that such a ferry service would be in connecting this strategic railnead with the Halnes Cut-off and the Alaska Highway. The Juneau-Atlin link would be an artery of similar character, opening up a new and even more direct alternative route to the Alaska Highway and an important mineral area of the Alaska panhandle and northwestern British: Columbia. At present the operation of a car ferry from Juneau to Taku Harbor is mentioned. The Prince Rupert car ferry could be operated to the port of Taku and end of the highway there without any trans-shipment at Juneau. R — to support alwithout fear of interference.” 3.
