URGE DEFIANCE GLASGOW, Scotland (AP)-- An organization calling itself Scots against War distributed leaflets in Glasgow Sunday urg- ing ban-the-bomb sympathizers to defy forces of law and order and "wreck the state's war ma- chine."

MORE Auto Rips Out Light Standard WHITBY (Staff) -- A 16-year- old Burnt River youth is in the Oshawa General Hospital fol- lowing a car crash on Highway 401, east of here, early today. Robert Shwehy suffered a concussion and multiple abra- sions when his westbound car struck a CNR warning light standard. He was taken to hos- pital at 3 a.m. by the Oshawa Civic Ambulance. Ontario Pro- vincial Police, Whitby Detach- ment, are invéstigating. The steel standard, which was imbedded in three feet of con- crete, was ripped from its foundation. WORRY AND WORK Today a week of work and worry begins for Oshawa Grade 13 students. Friday was the regular day of school. Now the students who will write the examinatie? papers, have one week of grace. They may study at home or, if they like, they can come to school and enlist the aid .of teachers, For students 0 fGrades 11 and 12, school continues until May 31, They start to write their examinations on June 4 and will finish on June 14, For the Grade 13 students, the annual ordeal. starts on June 3. EXAM TIMETABLE Following is the of Grade 13 examfffations, in- cluding all the subjects upon which students will write papers: June 3, French authors and French literature; June 4, English composition and Eng- lish literature; June 5, German authors andé+German composi- tion; June 6, trigonometry and statics, and physics; June 7, algebra and zoology; June 10, Latin authors and Latin compo- sistion; June 11, geometry and botany; June 12, problems and geography; June 13, chemistry and history; June 14, Italian authors and Italian composi- tion; June 18, music. This year the examinations start nearly two weeks earlier than last year. 38,189 TO WRITE On a province-wide basis-the number of Grade 13 candidates has increased from 17,829 to an estimated 38,189 this year. Experts believe that by 1968 there will be 72,930 Grade 13 examinations candidates in the province. The number of papers to be marked is also increasing rapidly. In '1956, 98,685 papers were submitted. This year the department of education ex- pects 219,000 papers. And the prediction for 1968 is an aval- 'trainee, anche of 408,000 papers. Grade 13 Pupils Study For Exams To get into teachers' college each student has to write a minimum of eight papers. UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE To get into university a stu- dent must write nine papers above 51 per cent, with an overall average of at least 60 per cent. Some universities have already jacked this up to 65 per cent; at least for cer- tain courses, @ student may write from one to 10 papers, Some of. the Grade 13 student have already written one paper while they were in Grade 12. Students who are fairly certain to succeed in Grade 12, are permitted to drop one regular Grade 12 subject and take Grade 13, algebra, zoology, botany or music in- stead. This acceleration starts actually in Grade 11. This takes some of the pressure off the students when they reach Grade 13 examinations. If a student fails to get his 60 per cent average, those papers in which he made- the grade are held to his credit, and he has only to repeat the Subjects he failed, There are a few students who attend secondary school merely to catch up on one subject, hav- ing already credits for eight others, GREAT SECRECY An aura of secrecy surrounds the examination papers. They are sent to the principal in sealed envelopes each subject in a separate package. The envelopes are opened in front of the students and in the presence of two witnesses and the presiding teacher and the witnesses have to sign the envelope, stating the seals have not been tampered with prior to the examination date. Each step is covered in a.24- page' booklet full of stringe rules and regulations for Grade 13 examinations, issued by the department of education. /Park. There, WHILE AN | ESTIMATED 50,000 spectators looked on more than 70 groups, organi' zations and bands took pa Saturday morning in the Osh- awa Civic Auditorium parade from Alexandra Park to the By ALLAN BAILEY Staff Reporter The whole world loves & parade -- and Oshawa is cer- tainly no exception. For the second time in two weeks, more than 50,000 people lined the city's streets last Sat- urday. It was the day of the Civic Auditorium parade, a sports spectacular hailed by some as the first of its kind. Hundreds of yougsters, twirl- ing batons, carrying skates, and others just marching, were the stars of the show, carrying their appeal to the public to help build the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, in a way only children can. Then there were the magnifi- cently trimmed floats, a crowd- pl in any pr They depicted hockey, baseball, swim- ming, lacrosse, judo -- you name it and it was there. NBL STARS STEAL SHOW But how could one forget how hockey's Bobby Hull from the Chicago Black Hawks and Jacques Plante of the Montreal Canadians literally "stole the show." These two stars of our national game, riding in an open convertible along' with Eddie Westfall, the local boy from the Boston Bruins, were besieged by fans young and old seeking autographs. And of course, there was Oshawa's own Don Jackson who captured the 1962 World Figure Skating Championship in Prague, Czechoslovakia, as well as native-son Alex Oakley, a gold medal. winner in the: Pan- American Games this month in Sao Paolo, Brazil. He's called, "the man who can walk better than anyone else in the world." Track and Field was repre- sented by Jennie Wingerson, the Toronto girl who won a sil. ver» medal in the 80-metre hurdles at the Pan-American Games. Also on hand was Leo Troy, MPP, Nipissing, chair- man of the Royal Canadian Le- gion's Dominion track and field program. Representing football was Aubrey Linne, a lineman with the National Hockey League. 'lsaid. he has 90 head of pure- bandshell in Memorial Park. The parade opened the drive for funds to erect the audi- torium. Seen here is a group of the officers of Branch 43, Royal Canadian Legion, fol- lowed 'by coaches and play- ers in the minor baseball lea- gue which is sponsored by the branch. Practically every youth and sporting organiza- tion in Oshawa was repre- sented. --Oshawa Times Photo Sports Figures To Fore In Auditorium Parade ambassador for Molson Brew- eries, WILLIAM KURELO The next speaker received a tremendous ovation. It was Bob- by Hull, th all-star forward with Chicago Black Hawks in RAISES BEEF CATTLE Tanned, muscular and hand- some, Bobby explained that he gets plenty of sunshine in the off-season operating his beef farm in Eastern Ontario. He bred Hereford cattle and hopes to increase his herd to 200. He recalled playing against Oshawa about 15 years ago when he played minor-bantam for Belleville and that Oshawa used to beat them "quite regu- larly." "'Athough," he said, "it was always nice to come: here, be- cause I could visit my relatives and go skiing at the golf course." As Bobby was riding in the parade, two respectable ladies were overheard to say, "'he' just like a matinee idol." "Oh," said the other, 'he's better." GOOD-WILL AMBASSADOR The next speaker was Jacques Plante, the masked goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens. He's also a good-will Joking, Jacques said he sat behind Bobby in the convertible, because, "I'm so used to see- ing his. face trying to score goals, I wanted to see what he looked like from the back." In his French-Canadian ac- cent, he said he hened everyone in the vity would be behind this project. ~ "T wish I had been able to enjoy something like this when I was a youngster," he said. Jacques added that he had planned to leave shortly, but after seeing the beautiful after seeing the Oshawa Golf Club, he decided to stay and play a few rounds. "The greens aren't as good in Montreal," he chuckled, "I don't know if they threw some bombs on them or what." WAIT FOR AUTOGRAPH While {at the course, five young waited for three hours at the 13th green on Ross- land road west to get Jacques' autograph, Their wait wasn't in vain. Jacques, after putting out, promptly went to the fence and signed his autograph for each of them. Terence V. Kelly, chairman of the fund-raising campaign, thanked Don Jackson for his personal contribution of $1,000 toward the project. "Here is a young man who had to go outside the city to train," he said, "and yet he feels he owes something to this municipality." Mr. Kelly told how 19 mem- bers of 'the committee, "from all walks of life,"" had donated a total of $15,000 as well as countless hours of work. "When the auditorium is built, it will be turned over te the city," he explained, "that's why our slogan is Let's Build it Our- selves for Ourselves." "We need something in this city we can call a recreation centre," said Mr. Kelly, "two weeks ago we raised the tracks, now, let's raise the cash." There were 10.000 'balloons given to the kiddies along the parade route, as well as 10,000 lollipops donated by the Down- town Businessmen's Association, the Toronto Ar s who proves the old saying, '"'every- thing big comes from Texas."
