Member of: Magistrate lan Walker of Vancouver must be one of the old school types who be- _lieves children should lead a cloistered existence, Last week he described as '‘dis- . graceful”. the fact that a father had brought two ten-year-alds into the public gallery of Vancouver's Magistrate's Court to observe proceédings, The Magistrate ordered the youngsters. out of the room after a woman, charged with shoplifting, was accompanied to the front of the court by her interpreter-hus- band, who also had a small bay in tow. There was a general discomfiture. when the Magistrate blew his cork and said “It is a disgraceful exhibition to bring children into court to see these’ misfortunes paraded before you."* ‘ * We'd like to know what sand dune Magistrate Walker has been hiding his head under for the past few years, Ten-year-old children should have every bit as much right to attend public court and learn how Can- adian justice operates, as any other individ- ual-in this free lond of ours. We can see no objection ta the practice as long as the youngsters qré there under adult supervi- sion. ; In fact,. if our present government and court procedures are any indication of a lack of interest on our part when WE were ten years old, it would seem there is on object ‘lesson to be learned somewhere. ' Perhaps if more young people took the opportunity to watch government and jus- tice at work first-hand; they might be better Prepared to make healthier decisions when ‘they reach legal voting age. ; To deny them this privilege on the grounds that some court proceedings might. corrupt their morals is quite stupid, ‘Today's children have access to an over- dose of souped-up sleaziness from. any magazine stand, they have nathing but the best in bang-bang violence thrown at them from television sets, and they can-stand on any street corner and get distorted educa- tion. on the facts of life, ; Yet this Magstrate has called the obser- vation by young people of the real, down-to- earth misfortunes of life, “‘disgraceful’’. Who is the learned Magistrate trying to kid? Either he is a “double-standard” advo- cate or just a plain and simple sorehead, Whichever way you faok at it — he's certainly unrealistic. A lethal killer .. . The greatest luxury of the twentieth century has become.a fethal killer—main- ing, injuring and destroying human life at alarming and ever increasing rate. The changes the automobile has brought to our society are huge, and with change comes danger, Not only is the auto- mobile causing carnage on the reads, but it has become the main interest of the teenage boy, offering an unparalleled opportunity for temptation end: sexual promiscuity, To deny that these concerns exist or to claim exaggeration is to be un- realistic. . Too often minor traffic violations bs- come the habit of drivers, whose attitude seems to be, “if | goa little over thé speed limit, or pass on the right, it's alright if | feel safe,"’ Such small risks are just as dis- honest as passing a bad cheque or stealing from a till, for what we really do is rob those driving ground us of a certain arnvunt of safety. The chance we take Troy stem: mivimal tc us but we have no way af cstimciing ine effect of fast driving on @ nervauis person in the car ahead or be- side, What we do in driving this way is take the law into our own hands. ‘Too many men; normally courteous, lose their man- ners the minute they get behind a wheel. They must be first away from stoplights, first down cn almost empty highway, and to often, first fo ihe morgue. . To say that the problem is not a moral one is wrong. It is the duty of all of us to obey even small road rules to the letter in a continuing effort to curtail the danger to ourselves and our fellows, During a year there are almost 5,000 fatal highway accidents in Coneda, and 150,000 people hurt. The rate of accidents’ is steadily rising. In the five years between 1958 and 1963 it rase by 20%. For moral consideration, the increase need not take . into account the greater number of cars, for the deaths are just os real with more vehicles. The second World War cost us. 6,000 fatalities per year compared with . the current motor car rate of 5,000 The responsibility as well as the wheel is in the hands of everyone who drives.
