School- For Arab Refugee- More than 50,000 Arab refugee children are now attending 117 emergency schools operated by United Nations agencies in the Middle Easrt-an increase of more than 10,000 pupils and 21 schools in the past year. The schools are qpented by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Oraganiza- tion (UNESCO) and the UN Re- lief and Works Agency for Pales- tine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). tion WHAT ABOUT TRAFFIC CONTROL, MR. MAYOR, WHAT IS BEING DONE IN WESTON TO ALLEVIATE THE SITUATION? He answered by "yin; that police officials and council are doing all possible to make Weston an easier and safer place to walk and drive. Stop streets and no parking areas are being abused, he said. Double parking is most prevalent, especially on Main Street. Motorists must cooperate with the laws set down and policemen are being asked to be even more strict in their enforcement of the law. The regulations are laid down for the benefit of all and everyone must cooperate. Children and pedestrians must be protected and in turn they must have con- sideration for the motorist. Next we got to tasking about progress in the town and we asked Hie Worship to PLEASE GIVE US MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AT THE WORKS DEPT. BUILDING ON MAIN STREET NORTH. We found out that $11,000 had been let aside in the estimates for enlargement and improvements at the Works Dept. building, this will allow for larger accommodation for the Police Department and the Engineering Department. The tenders received for the work were in the neighborhood of $15,000 and these were not accepted. Council then decided to have the wbrk done under the super- vision of the property committee. of which Deputy Reeve Lunnon is chairman. This committee has been authorized by by-law to arrange for the carrying out of the work and it is felt that by operating in this manner colts will be kept within the limits of the estimates. The mayor pointed out that among other things the present wooden beams were in poor condition and must be replaced and that a partial second storey at the front part of the building will be erected. Work will be commencing immediately. In its latest report on the scools, UNESCO says that, during 1951, the number of pupils in pri- mlry classes, conducted either in canvas tents or mudbrick school- houses, increased from 41,053 to 51,081. At the beginning of last yenr, 96 schools were in opera- tion; by January lst they had in. creased to 117. Schools opened by the two agen- cies in the Gaza area (under Egyptian control), Jordan, Leba- non and Syria have so far made classrooms available for nearly 22 per cent of the 232,000 school-age children among the Palestine te- fugees. Private and state schools accommodate 50,000 more, so that 44 per cent of the children in the age group 6-14 are now attending school. MAYOR.' The answer to this one was yes. Wadsworth Boulevard is being extended and finished from Springmount to Helen, this is subject to the approval of the Department of Municipal Affairs. Two, eight mite apartment blocks will be erected on the sites as well as some private houses. The builder will be responsible for the installations of sewer: and water and Weston, in turn, will improve the road as neces- sary. This will mean revenue for the town in the form of assessment and is another step toward developing our town with a satisfactory financial arrangement. In closing our interview, Mayor Seagruve expressed his dis- pleasure at the manner in which the disposal of refuse isheing handled at the local dump. As a result of his personal inspection he finds that the situation has been aggravated to a great extent by the removal of certain parts of the fence surrounding the property. The removal being made nacessary by the installations at the sewage area. Indescriminate dumping has been carried on by. private citizens and local industry and u a result small fires are continually breaking out and the area" as a whole is in terrible shape. Something must be and will be done to get things running in an orderly manner and the matter is now in the hands of the property committee. The two international agencies also were able to launch a pro- gram in 1961 for pupils beyond primary schooling. Vocational training classes were opened to 2,500 Arab refugee boys who were taught carpentry, shoemaking, weaving, tinsmithing, agriculture, broom-making, poultry raising, bookbinding and mechanics. These vocational training classes staffed by 72 instructors, are intended to make refugee children self-sup- porting. Agriculture claases alone were able to market 90 tons of produce and one class paid its own way with its crops. A teacher's training program to provide more instructors for the expanding system resulted, by the beginning of this year, in Idmil- lion of 50 student teachers into college: in Beirut. Another 100 an to be trained in Syrin, Jordan 3nd Egypt. _ In their report, UNESCO offi- cials emphasized that subjects tlught in these internationally- run elementary schools are the guns In those of others in the re- gion. Pupils have no difficulty transferring into state m- private ttt9tooU.

Indeed, the big problem this yen has been to obtain enough coaches to meet the demand. This indicates that more of the entrants in the big match will have the benefit of coaching from men who really know the tricks of the trade. This increased competition seems likely to hold not only for the three days ot the International, but also for the local counties day on October 7. Interest in locll coun- ties day is greatly enhanced by the fact that the Western Quebec Plowmen's Association are Joining in this day, along with plowmen from nine Eastern Ontario Coun- ties.
