Nigel, a second-year student in Economics at York University, is also a keen student of Political Philosophy. WELCOME, STRANGER -- Allan Schroeder, Education Director of the Canadian UAW, will be in Oshawa tomorrow for the opening of that two-day Seminar at the UAW Hall. He shows up annually about this time on the same assign- ment -- his lectures are one of the better features of this high- ly educational get-together, BURT TO OPEN UAW EDUCATION SEMINAR What memories George Burt must have when he re- visits Oshawa, as he will do tomorrow to deliver the keynote address at the two-day Education seminar at UAW Hall, No Canadian has played a greater role in the develop- ment of 'Trade Unionism across the Dominion than the 59yearold former Osh- awa plumber who once worked for General Motors here (as a metal finisher on on the solder line in the body room). Burt, a former treasurer of Local 222, UAW-CLC, has held down one of the most influential Labor posts in Canada -- as Canadian direc- tor of the UAW -- for 33 years, He has another uni- que distinction -- he has the longest UAW service record : \\ on the international execu- EORG tive board with the exception ne Sauer of Walter Reuther, interna- Veteran observers of the Canadian Labor scene recalled week tliat Burt, a rough and ready scrapper when the are down, started his long reign as Canadian director -@usting Charles Millard, then of Oshawa, at the 1939 con- The defeat also marked a milestone in the Trade career of Millard who eventuatly became a national as Canadian director of the United Steelworkers of erica. When Burt took. over as Canadian director the UAW about 5,000 members -- today it has more than 70,000 to coast, including 13,500-odd in Oshawa district. Burt, who looks more like 49 than 59, neither smokes drinks -- assistants marvel at his vitality, especially his frequent 1¢-hourdaily work stints that leave colleagues grog: gy. He is also vice-president of the Canadian Labor Con- When he rolis into Oshawa in his Oldsmobile he must recall those bitter, dramatic days of the 1990's that preceded the birth of Local 222 and. his gradual emergence as a Trade Unionist of national reputation, By THE CANADIAN PRESS Cultural Affairs Minister La- palme told the Quebec legisla- ture Thursday a royal commis- sion report on book publishing indicated a few people in the province had.a "gold mine" go- ing for them in textbook sales. He said: "Education is cer tainly expensive for most peo- ple in the prvince, but it is a gold mine for a few, "That's what we learned from He was defending the royal commission report against op- position charges that some of those mentioned in the report were not given a chance to de- fend themselves, He was also defending the government's time for release of the report which came at the start of debate on a bill cre- ating Quebec's first education department.

COMMITTEE DISAGREES The committee has split over specialized agency should be established to whether a new deal with world housing prob lems or whether a department or centre inside the United Na- tions, to provide technical as- sistance, would suffice. The United States, Canada the Soviet Union and Romania are among those that have op- posed establishing a new agency. The centre idea was proposed |be pursued with greater dii- jgence, though how this can be jdone in view of the internal dis- lcord that undoubtedly results from the coup is not made clear, It would take no clair- voyant to suggest that if the, U.S. is determined to hold.

U,S.., intervention -- and that may, bring greater intervention from: the other side, Three days before the latest . coup, Defence ecretary Robert McNamara reported that the. Vietnamese situation was: "grave." A day later, he sug- gested the gravity had been ex- ' aggerated and that he had been encouraged by recent opera: tions. On the third day, the. Pentagon. reported the Viet Cong had stepped up their op- erations sharply and that cas- ualties were heavy. The confusion 'that has fol- lowed U.S. policy in South Viet Nam Is illustrated by the Wash- ington Post cartoon showing men watching tape coming out of a Pentagon computer. The tape reads: "The situation in Viet Nam has deteriorated-- but we are encouraged today-- and it can get much worse." | "Maybe it's in code," sug: gests one of the men watching the tape.

The City of Osh- wa donates $1,000 annually to the Fair -- there was aiso a 198} grant from the Province of Ontario for $3,614. It re- ceived $5,314 in grants. The biggest Revenue producers at the Fair were the Concessiotis space ($3,877 which was down from $4,511 the previous year) and gate admissions ($2,935, @own from $4,176 the previous year.) * 'The Oshawa Fair has been deciining in popularity for years now--what is needed most of all is an upsurge in mem- bership of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, new ideas.
