Central Collegiate Institute has been the hardest hit. This morning 115 pupils were re- ported absent due to sickness. The school has an enrollment of 748. Some 100 pupils. were absent Wednesday. H. E. Murphy, principal of said it was the worst outbreak he had experienced in the school. Mr. Murphy stated that the staff of OCCI*had also been hit by the outbreak. Angus Dickson, principal of O'Neill Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute, reported about 15 per cent of the school's 1,489 enrollment has been absent due to the outbreak of illness.

Frank Shine, secretary-trea- surer of the Oshawa Separate School Board, stated that in the eight separate schools which has. a total enrolment of some 3,000 pupils, about 250 absen- tees were reported. Mr. Shine said that apparent- iy ihe outbreak started in the north end of the city and gradu- ally worked its way south as many absentees were reported in the north schools first. He said the school staffs were rela- tively untouched. ; Generally speaking the out- break started just over a week ago and seems to be progress- ing steadily. The Oshawa Times was un- able to secure a report on the situation from the elementary schools this morning. Dr. C. C. Stewart, Oshawa medical officer of health, said this morning there is no possi- bility of closing the schools. He stated that before such action would be taken, a much greater outbreak of illness would have to occur.

Grey's action followed wide- spread strikes sparked by bud- get proposals put forward by the leftist government of Prime Minister Cheddi Jagan, The colonial office said the troops were being sent "for the sole purpose of maintaining law and order" and meant: no re- flection. on the policies of the Jagan administration. THOUSANDS DEMONSTRATE In the colony's capital of against the government outside the parliament building in de- finance of a ban by Grey.

TO RELEASE LEADERS They added that the release of detained Algerian leaders presumably would be coupled with the cease-fire.

It would be supervised by the insurgent Algerian provisional government in Tunis and the To Restore Missing Rule VALETTA, Malta (Reuters)-- Maltese residents vote this weekend in an election that will restore an elected government to the island after an absence of three years, Six political parties are bat- tling for the 50 seats in a legis- lative assembly established by a = --e in- ternal self. - government to Malta.

Canadians should find a place at home for their talents, he told a graduation banquet at University College, University of Toronto. He said the suggestion by some experts that Canada carry on oniy those industries in which she can compete with other countries 'is hostile to a diversified national life." If this policy had been carried on in the past, Canada would have had no universities, no CBC, no railway system and little book publishing, he said. All these services might have been obtained more cheaply from the U.S. lected government for the last three years. The island had been ruled directly by the Brit- ish governor, advised by a non- elected executive council.
