Hardest hit has been Vaughan Township, with four clubs visit- ed during that time, while Markham Township had two clubs broken into. Thieves still continue to plague area golf courses. . This week. it was back to Vaughan Township and Maple Downs Golf and Country Club, Dufferin Street. which lost $5,- 700 in the first break-in. However, nothing was taken. The would-be thieves were frightened off by Police Con- stables Ken Smith and John Thorsell, who were patrolling in the area at the time. Perspective . . . . Although we should have heard the last of it eight years ago. the Stephen Truscott case is still very much in the news. While many people feel that it is important that our courts be 101 $1, sure, I think it is even more important that we respect the decision which was handed down. First of all, let me say that after reading the facts as presented in the newspapers, I believe that Stephen Truscott is guilty of the rape-slay- ing of the Harper girl. Now before you all con- demn me for this belief. let me remind you that two courts including the Supreme Court. the highest court in the land, have reached the same verdict. However, I don’t think that Truscott is the most dangerous criminal in this case and I think the finger should be, instead, pointed at Isabel LeBourdais. In every society, the people must have some legal code by which they live. Of course. there must be someone to enforce this code and we place this power in the hands of responsible men within our country. It is only natural to assume that the members of the Supreme Court of Canada are to be the pick of the most fair and responsi- bly-minded citizens of Canada. We all admit that no human being is infallible and so it is with these men, but we must also admit that these people are probably the best we have. r- Consequently, if we attack their decision as Miss LeBourdais has. we are attacking one of the largest blocks in the foundations of our society. If we will not listen to the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision, who do we listen to? It may not be perfect but it is the best we’ve got and in order to obtain some semblance of order we must adhere to its rulings. I sometimes wonder how Isobel LeBourdais would feel if we asked her to pay for the investigation she instigated and which left a bill for many thousands of dollars in the hands of the Canadian taxpayers. The thing that disturbed me the most was a reaction of many of our Members of Parliament. They too jumped on the emotionalists’ bandwagon and began demanding that the government take some action. Although I usually disagree with Prime Minister Pearson’s decisions, I think this time he made a very wise move when he decided to stay out of the matter. I think one of the great advantages our courts have over those of the United States is the fact that, unlike their American counterparts, our judges are not elected politicians. By staying out of the matter Mr. Pearson has left politics out of the courts. As a result the judges’ decision can stand on its own merit and is not influenced by any upcoming election. However, as usual, the NDP’s have thrown a monkey wrench in the case with Stanley Knowles’ private members bill demanding parole for Truscott. I don’t know when this entire affair will end and I don’t have the faintest idea what the circumstances will be. I only hope that the end result does not make a mockery of the courts and entire judicial system upon which our very exist- ence depends.

The bogus $5 first showed up in Montreal at Expo on opening day, the first such bill in Can- ada in 30 years. They have since been passed in Metro. Hamilton. Cooksville and Oakville. Police described the bills as being easy to detect, because the blue color was too light on the front and too dark on the back.
