KALNINS ON ... --~ '-1 IThe World at Eight Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. The temperature outside is 40 below zero and the weatherman promises more of the same throughout the day. It is eight o'clock and time for the news from the radio news room of CFTR. This is Alex Kalnins reporting. First, the main items: It was announced in Washington today that the Canadian oil and gas prices will jump by 8 cents a gallon, starting next month. The spokesman for the State Department said the price hike is only temporary. It is likely to go 'up by two more cents as soon as the pump operators can change over to the new price. In Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau praised the American announce- ment, countering that the Canadian Government will take steps to increase the gas and oil price above the present 8-cent limit. "By boosting the price of gas and oil", said Trudeau "we will be able to achieve a greater measure of economic stability in this country". The Arab Nations in Cairo, discussing the oil policy, announced last night that the Canadian crude oil prices will go up by six dollars a barrel. "The time is ripe for the necessary increase", said the Arab oil producers' spokes- man. "Time has run out for cheap crude oil". The Prime Minîster of Alberta said last night that his country is also raising the price of oil by $6.50 a barre! to "stabiize the sagging Japanese economy". Mr. Lockheed noted the present price hikes for oil and gasoline will have a "tremendous impact" for generations to come. "The Ontario alone will pay 40 billion dollars for our gas and thus we will be able to lower our own fuel prices", he told the reporters who had gathered outside his Western White House. Also, last night good news came from dairy farmers in Saskatchewan. The spokesman for the Dairy Farmers' Association said the price of milk will go up by two cents immediately. "But, most farmers, as expected, are not pleased with this announcement", he added, "they want at least a 4-cent hike or they will strike". And now, the main items: The Bakers' Association of Canada has announced an immediate increase of price for a loaf of bread. Starting tomorrow, the housewife will pay 3 cents more for a single loaf. "We will, of course, press for even higher price hike as everything is going up these days", the spokesman added. This just in from Detroit: the Canadian driver will be asked to pay more for all 1975 models as the cost of labour has doubled in the last 10 years. By next year we hope the car prices will have trip- led, said the spokesman for the Big Four auto makers. And, the final item from Tokyo: the Japanese Prime Minister has told his Parliament that ail exports to Canada will be priced upwards as the result of the world-wide price hikes in consumers goods. By the time our goods reach Vancouver, we expect the 10 per cent price hike should produce a much-desired economic relief to our manufac- turers. Later on the Japanese spokesman added: "This is only a beginning. Our prices will go up even higher". And now, ladies and gentlemen, may I interrupt this newscast with a special news bulletin from Ottawa: Because of growing inflation and skyrocketing prices in this coun- try, our Prime Minister has taken the most drastic step so far, to save Canada and 20 million Canadians. He told newsmen and TV reporters: the Parliament Buildings are up for sale. And, I, Margaret and Justin are off to the moon. "Hopefully", said Trudeau "there won't be any hikes needed; not for some time, anyway". Goodbye, folks! See you on the moon.

Without this regula- of Green Street in Whitbv, tion, there is no concern that abuse of court time and equipment would elim- inate, for most people, the opportunity to use the fac- ility regularly. The committee has stressed that the purpose of the club is not to restrict the general public from en- joying the courts, but, on the contrary, to permit any interested individual, at a minimal cost, to gain the full advantages of the sport through the system of court reservation. Although the facilities are, at the present time limited, it is hoped that strong support for the club and a growing membership will eventually lead to the erection of more courts, throughout the Whitby area. • The committee will hold a public meeting on Monday, May 6th, 8 p.m. at the new Whitby Library, 405 Dundas Street, West, Whitby, to present to those interested, the results of their efforts and hopefully, to accept ap- plications for membership. Any persons wishing to ex- press their views on the matter are asked to attend.

The government here in Ontario believes that no one should ever be deprived of a higher education simply for lack of money. And, we're doing something about it ... through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). OSAP consists of government- financed loans and grants designed to help qualified Canadian citizens and landed immigrants payfortheir higher education. And they are based on need, not on academic achievement. The loans are interest-free until 6 months after graduation, and repay- ments don't begin until then. The grants don't normally have to be repaid at all. Already, 2 out of 5 students at Ontario universities and community colleges receive some form of f inancial assistance f rom OSAP. If you would like to know what assistance is available, how to apply for it, and how much you may be qualified to receive, contact the Student Awards Officer at the institution of your choice.
