The Only opposition to the stations appears to be the govern ment the association said in a news release. The Manitoba motor league has asked for them. The chamber of Commerce has asked for them. The cief of police of Winnipeg has asked for them. Certainly the pedestrians can Only gain from the inspection stations would make a compulsory Check of every greater Winnipeg motor vehicle at set intervals and would demand that any mechanical defects be repaired or the car re moved from the Road. The government the association says has refused to establish inspection stations on the High Speed alone does not cause accidents they say. It. Is the inability of the Driver to control his car at High speeds due to defective steering or tires. Safety projects run by the Manitoba motor league have revealed that More than one third of the cars tested failed to come up to maximum safety standards the release said based on the shallow and undependable foundation of what the Lay Driver thinks about the mechanical condition of his car would be rejected in any court said the association. It is they say Only after a fatal Accident has occurred that the vehicle is checked and then it is too late. While alleged statistics have often been used to baffle common the report Seldom has it been done to such grounds that very few traffic a an extreme As Here and m Cir a dents Are caused by defective i cum stances where the Cost of the vehicles. I remedy is so and the Cost their statistics Are based Only on the verbal reports of the Drivers themselves says the release. Many Drivers Are unaware that their cars Are unsafe says the association. To of the failure to provide such a remedy is so government sponsored inspection stations in the Winnipeg area would be entirely self supporting claims the association.

At the movies life Between the millstones by Christopher Dafoe the l shaped room with Leslie Caron Tom Bell Brock Peters Patricia Phoe Nix Cicely Courtn Eidge and Avis Bunnage. Now playing at the Garrick. The l shaped room is so close to life that you can almost smell the foul air that sweeps along the cluttered streets of netting Hill. I first saw the l shaped room in London at a Cinema in netting Hill and i remember the feeling of desolation that swept Over me As i stepped out of the Cinema into the jangling traffic to Dis cover that i had stepped nol from a reality cardboard world but from reality into into deeper reality. The world of the screen and the grim world out Side were almost one and the same. I need hardly add that the l shaped room is not what some people Call Light summer enter far from it. It is a film that comes to grips with reality a film that. Speaks the truth in ringing tones., the l shaped room is about that other London and those other londoners that the tourist folders never speak of. It is the harsh cruel London of the bed Sitter the London of the Gas meter and the cheap cafe. It is dissenting judge Speaks his mind a direct reflection that too Many of Chicago special tons supreme court Justice John m Harlan said this week that the entire judicial system being threatened. By the idea that courts can solve All the deficit modern Day society. Speaking at the dedication of a Large addition to the n e w american bar Centre Here jus Tice Harlan also called upon All lawyers to work vigorously to help the nation solve the Many burning issues of the the Justice s remarks were of his View those issues Are being carried into the courts and that the courts including the supreme court have gone too far in attempting to solve them. Justice Harlan was the leading dissenter on the supreme court at its last term disagreeing with the majority in 43 cases and writing dissenting opinion in 22 of them. Long Range View he has dissented when the court applied Federal standards of search and seizure to the states when it stepped into the reapportionment tangle and when t struck Down some Federal and state Laws. He has said the court s majority sometimes decides cases with an Eye to immediate Justice rather than to a Ong Range View of the decision s effect upon the Law. He said the Federal system is difficult to operate require accommodations that May often seem irksome or but out of that process he said usually come pragmatic solutions of More Asting value than those Emana ing from the pens of the Best theoretical planners. Unless we Are prepared to consider the diversified develop ment of the United states As Laving run its course and to engage the future of the country largely As that of a welfare so piety we will do Well to keep what has been called Deli Cate balance of the Federal state relations in Good working or he said. In addition to regarding the ederal system As inadequate ustice Harlan said some Well meaning people apparently be Leve that the judicial rather than the political process is More Likely to Breed better solutions of pressing or thorny problems. This is a compliment to the judiciary but untrue to demo cratic logical extreme the argument he added makes it difficult for judges to refuse to revise inadequate Laws passed by Congress or to refuse to strike Down Laws that Are manifestly unwise harsh or but carried to its logical extreme Justice Harlan said the idea would eventually Lead to a substantial Transfer of Legisla Tive Power to the and a lessening of judicial Independence and of legislative responsibility. A judicial decision which is founded simply on of impulse that something must be done or which looks no further than to the Justice or injustice of a particular Case is not Likely to have lasting he said. Justice Harlan urged All Law yers to keep abreast of current constitutional trends to engage in constructive criticism of Judi Cial decisions and to help in form the Public about what judicial decisions mean. Constructive criticism of judicial he said is a for the judiciary and for healthy development of the Law. But it is surely equally True that ill formed or intemperate criticism of the doings of the courts Only serves to Breed misunderstandings and ultimately disregard for the Washington Post 31 cases of polio in Montreal hospitals Montreal cases of polio have been admitted to Montreal hospitals but an official of the City health department says there is no Dan Ger of an epidemic. Most of the oases Are from Quebec s Eastern townships. The Quebec health department tues Day sent a Supply of anti polio vaccine to Sherbrooke to. Curb outbreak. Not pleasant but it is True and the tilings that happen to the people who live there Are Asim portent in their Small Way As the things that happen to Lear and Hamlet. For. These people too Are caught Between the millstones of life. They Are victims of the City and the ways in which they come to terms with their torments make powerful vivid drama. The Story is a simple one. A French girl pregnant takes a room in one of the tatty bed sit ters of notting Hill. She meets and has an affair with an impoverished writer who lives in the same House. Their relation ship is destroyed because the girl s unborn Bastard child comes Between them. The girl is haunt i n g 1 y played by Leslie Caron. Miss Caron i think has never been better. She is True in everything she does. She has seen the lonely girls of London s bed Sitters and knows somehow exactly what life is like for them. Tom Bell who plays the Young writer almost equals her accomplishment. Or. Bell is an actor hew to the screen who will go far the lesser roles Are filled splendidly. The directors of the film have taken pains to find actors of ability for every role. Avis Bunnage and Patricia Phoenix Are excellent As a pair of Middle aged prostitutes Cicely Courtn Eidge plays brilliantly As a grand Motherly lesbian actress Brock Peters does Fine things with his role As a West Indian musician. The film is beautifully photo graphed masterfully directed. It should t be missed.

Perinbam said a new educational Frontier faces the world in the developing coun tries. The vast needs of these Peoples and the urgency of the situation called for action of an International scale. He said underdeveloped coun tries look with admiration respect and envy at Canada s by cultural character and seek the Benefit of Canadian knowledge and experience in the Field o education. Fresh perspectives and Initia Tives were needed if Canada was to meet this Challenge. Since English and French were Thi languages of education in mos of Asia and Africa education was one Field in which Canada could play an influential and constructive role.
