AS BOARD OF EDUCATION GIVES GREEN LIGHT TO NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR OSHAWA To Employ Students Twenty students from a mix- ed class in an Oshawa collegi- ate will be spending Friday afternoons working in local firms to learn social skills. The idea was approved last night by the Board of Educa- tion after one trustee, Dr. A. E. O'Neill, objected. Lewis McCoy, supervisor of the two-year special course at Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate Institute, explained to the board how he wanted local business establishments to participate in a job experience program for Grade 10 students. 'He said in their last year of school these students should) find out about jobs. | In a brief which Mr. McCoy presented to members he said people lose jobs more because of lack of social skills than NINE SPECTATORS were on hand Monday night when the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion met at the board's admin- istration building. Chairman George K. Drynan, QC, of the board, said that he was "happy" to. see the group, mostly high school teachers. Mr. Drynan welcomed them on behalf of the board.

He hopes the 20 students in|7 his class will = the skills each spending three consecu- bi afternoons with participat- ing businesses. No pay will be involved and pupils will be erred to other jobs after the three weeks. : Said Dr. O'Neill: "If this pro- gram is entered upon there will iy be requests from other schools. This could snowball and I want principals to be free to discuss this p and know . just what they are getting into." George K. Drynan, chairman of the board, said: "'No one is anxious to implement any pro- m unless it is a success. "And I hope this is a success and that it does snowball." He suggested the Labor Coun- cil be advised about the course. All trustees and Separate School representative R. J. Nicol voted for the plan with only Dr. O'Neill against. They asked that a full report on pro- gress be made after a 24-week period. Dr. O'Neill wanted the idea to go before the education pol- icy committee. He said: "I am jealous, and always have been, of schools being able to handle its own affairs without any interference from outside. "And the less interference they get the better they will do their job." Trustee Mrs. Margaret Shaw said: "I wholeheartedly support this venture. I am really happy to see someone doing some- thing for students in this course. "They find it hard enough to find jobs when they leave school." Mr. McCoy said that over half of the cities in the province had a similar program to this one.

TRUSTEES NICOL, LEFT, AND WILLIAM WERRY STUDY SITE Teachers Score Press Statement A letter from teachers at Donevan Collegiate criticising School Board Trustee Bill Werry for a statement he made to The Oshawa Times will be studied by a special committee. Mr. Werry said at. a board meeting last night he wanted to explain -- "'not apologize'? -- to the teachers, just what he meant, A teacher - board relations committee will discuss the issue at a meeting soon. The letter, signed by J. J. Victor, staff president, and James L. W. Oosterveer, staff vice-president, read: "An article appearing on page 1 of The Oshawa Times, Wednesday, September 23, was the subject of a staff meeting called by the staff executive of this school. "In this article, the charge was laid by Mr. Werry that Donevan Collegiate is "very unfair to parents who are trying to keep their children in school'. "Quite apart from the unfair- ness of the change itself, which was based on insufficient know- ledge of the facts, it is disturb- ing when such criticism comes not through official channels, but throush the press. "Tt is especially unfortunate that such an incident shou occur at a time when ie Board has led us to believe that they are interested in healthy Board-teacher relation- ships. "The staff of the Dr. F. J.

"Tt makes teaching really difficult,' he said. Mr. Mur- phy said two classes had recently to be transferred because of the heat. The board ordered a re- port on the heating system. 3 Drunk Three Oshawa men were 'con- victed of drunk driving by Magistrate Harry Jermyn here Monday, and each received the minimum sentence of seven days in jail.

John James McGrath, 36, of 742 Cedar street also made a guilty plea. His offence, the Court learned, occurred on Simcoe street south on Aug. 31. According to police evidence he crossed the centre line of the road, and then went up on the boulevard. The third man, Claude R. Hanley, 40, of 310 French street, contested his case with the help of defence counsel Terry Kelly. He said his demeanor of 3 a.m., Sept. 12 was caused, not Get 7 Days Each Drivers exclusively by the 'four drafts of beer he had'"', but mainly by the eight phenolbarbitol tablets he had taken the previous day. Constable Cleo Thompson of Oshawa PD told the Court that he had observed a car driven by the accused pull out against a red light at the corner of King street and Ritson road, and then move slowly up Ritson in a "jerking'" manner. He said Hanley was, in his opinion, intoxicated. This was also the opinion of Sgt, Jon Jen- kins at police headquarters. Hanley said he had increased the dosage of phenolbarbitol to eight per day from a doctor's prescription of four. The pills were for a nervous condition, he said. Mr. Kelly asked for a reduc- tion to impaired driving, but Magistraié Jermyn declined, telling Hanley he had been a "menace on the road".

One trustee voted against the plan and another would not vote. The remaining eight trustees and a separate school represen- tative backed the idea. Geonge K. Drynan, board chairman, said today that the approximate cost of the school would be $3,000,000. "The city will have to raise approximately $1,650,000 of that sum by deben- ture," he stated.

DID NOT VOTE Trustee Mrs, Margaret Shaw voted against the plan but did not state her reasons in the board meeting. Dr. A. E. O'Neill did not vote, saying this was for the same reason he abstained last week when the board decided to build nine shops in the school. Last week Dr. O'Neill said: i ""phis means that there is no loss in accommodation for aca- demic work." The report further suggested there be four typing rooms, two bookkeeping rooms, one busi- ness machines, two merchandis- ing, and one secretarial lab. For the nine shops the princi- pals suggested two drafting, two machine shops, and one each "T am in favor of building a school but not in fayor of this school. We are way out ahead of ourselves." e REPORT GIVEN After a lengthy board meet- ing last night, trustees decided to go into a caucus meeting of the committee of the whole. Re- porters were allowed to stay but not to report. During this caucus meeting a report with the revised accom- modation for the new school, which is to be built on Harmony road north, was presented by the principal's committee. The report stated that in order to keep the accommodation as flexible as possible and take advantage of the present grant structure the following sugges- tions are offered -- 19 standard classrooms instead of 26 and 10 commercial rooms instead of three. It read: "It should be noted that if all these rooms are a good size and if a good choice of classroom furniture is made, each of these rooms can be used for academic subjects such as English, history, mathematics, etc., in addition to the commer- cial subject proposed. auto mech s, welding or woodworking, electrical, elec- tronics and printing. The report ended: "It is sug- gested that auto body should be a major activity in the'boys' oc- cupational shop. Hairdressing or merchandising could be a major activity in the girls' occupation- al program". Members closed the caucus meeting after a half hour .dis- cussion and the recorded vote was taken in an open board meeting on. accepting the re- port. s PLANS STATEMENT Mr. Drynan said, after the meeting, $150,000 will be saved in grants for the commercial rooms. He said there is a 100 per cent higher grant for com- yo Na rooms than for stand- ard. Mrs. Shaw did not state her reasons for voting against the plan in open board meeting, but said she would make a state- ment to the public later. At previous meetings, Mrs. Shaw has said Oshawa taxpay- ers were gaining "nothing" by taking Federal grants for com- mercial rooms and shops be- cause the money had to come from taxpayers anyway.
