Junior College Decision TORONTO (CP)--The pro- vincial government apparently is no further than two or three months away from making a de- cision that could revolutionize higher education in Ontario. This would be the establish- ment of a system of community colleges scattered throughout the province to offer a two-year term of post-secondary educa- tion, leading into the third year of university. Education Minister Wiliam Davis, who has studied com- munity college--or junior col- lege--systems in Florida and California, called a press con- ference Friday to make known his. views. Mr. Davis said that at pres- - ent Ontario has no policy on community colleges. But he added: "Tiiere will be a state- ment of policy within two or) three months." | He said that if such an idea was to be introduced in Ontario, community colleges would be Expected over is eligible to enter the junior colleges, regardless of his previous academic achieve- ments, This leads to a drop-out rate approaching 50 per cent at the end of the first year. The theory behind the policy was that every one had an opportunity to prove himself. This was-one part of the California community college system which Mr. Davis dis- agreed with, although he was favorably impressed by the sys- tem as a whole. He said he thought that in Ontario, community colleges would have to stress not only preparing students to enter uni- versity, but on preparing them for further education in the technical and ional fields. The idea of community col- leges is being studied in Ontario by Mr. Davis' Grade 13 imple- mentation committee.

Horsburgh Released $2,500 Bail CHATHAM, Ont. (CP)--Rev. Russell D. Horsburgh, former minister of Park Street United Church here, was released on $2,500 bail from Kent County Jail Friday pending the out- come of an appeal against his conviction on five charge of contributing to juvenile delin- quency. Leave to appeal to the On- tario Appea' Court against the conviction was granted in Tor- onto Thursday by Mr. Justine J. M. King, who set bail. Mr. Horsburgh was convicted earlier this month by Juveniie Court Judge W. H. Fox after a 14-day trial and was sen- tenced to a year in jail on each Mr. Horsburgh, 45, was con- sexual relations He pleadel established on a regional basis, serving specific geographic or) population areas. | Any announcement on the in-| troduction of this form of higher education in Ontario would be made before the legislature-- possibly in the speech from the throne when the House opens in the latter part of January. In California, Mr. Davis said, any person 18 years of age or an extension of the present ele- mentary and secondary school program, or it could swallow | up Grade 13, reducing high school education in the province to four years. Mr. Davis said junior colleges in California have both day and night schools, and otherwise serve the community as a whole through a wide range of recre- ational or cultural activities. Discount Rate Boost Tightens Money Supply -- NEW YORK (AP) -- Britain,|rate boost could bring the cur-|a date for arguing the appeal] the United States and Canada took swift action this week to tighten their money supplies. Britain jumped its discount rate to seven per cent from five to protect the wavering pound. The United States fol- lowed to four per cent from 3%. Canada boosted it to 4% per cent from four. Eleven nations, including Can- ada made $3,000,000,000 avail- able to bolster the pound. The U.S. federal reserve| board said its action on the dis- count rate was taken "'to main- tain the international strength of the dollar." The discount rate is the| amount of interest charged by central banks. | The stock market, which) doesn't approve of high inter-| est rates, fell after the 'action. INCREASE SEEN Some bankers predicted the discount rate advance would bring an increase in the prime rate of banks, currently 444 to five per cent. The prime rate is the charge for loans to custom- ers with the highest credit rat- ing. Apprehension was expressed in some quarters, the discount- Ontario Parks Director Named TORONTO (CP)--Kelso Rob- erts, minister of lands and for- ests, announced Friday crea- tion of the position of director of parks and recreation. | Appointed to the job is D.

(CP)-- Magistrate Bruce Hunter Fri- day adjourned to Jan. 8 the case INTERPRETING THE NEWS By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer The United States position in South Viet Nam resembles the prolems of a man digging a hole in a swamp. Every shovelful of earth is replaced by water. Bedrock, if it exists, is a long way down. How much farther can the U.S. afford to dig? After 10 years of supporting South Viet Nam against Com- munist infiltration, the U.S. is more deeply mired than ever. Having given aid amounting to more than $3,000,000,000, about one-third of it for military help, it has no easy choice between keeping it up and dropping it. This 'situation is drawing another penetrating analysis in Washington amid signs that if of martial law followed his de- parture this time. a There is considerable specula- tion he intends to argue for an extension of military action to block aid coming to the Viet Cong inside South Viet Nam from North Viet Nam and Cam- bodia. KREMLIN WARNING In Moscow this week there was an aggressive warning from the new men in the Krem- lin' Russia would supply the "necessary assistance" to the Vietnamese Communists if the U.S. attacked them. This was a change from the attitude of Nikita Khrushchev, at least in his last years as pre- mier, To the U.S air strikes on US. Position In Viet Nam Like Digging In A Swamp drawing a bitter Chinese blast for his reticence. Khrushchev's successors -- to be taking a sterner ie. There is ample evidence the South Vietnamese themselves perhaps care a good deal less about the fate of the war than the U.S. itself or other South- east Asian countries, such as Thailand, that fear the U.S. may write off the country. Viet Nam was occupied by the Japanese during the Second) World War. The French re- turned after the war, and left again after inability to cope with the Communists. Now the U.S. has the same problem, as more than 20,000 of its military advisers are in the country and North Viet Nam in August, inurushcheyv reacted mildly, American casualty lists mount daily. the U.S. gets tougher mili- tarily, a more aggressive reac- tion will come from both China 90 ON MONDAY and the Soviet Union. TAYLOR HOME Gen. Maxwell Taylor, U.S ambassador to South Viet Nam, is back in Washington for high- level consultations: that will in- clude President Johnson next week: Taylor, on his return, sought to play down reports of broader military action, especially the notion that the war may spread beyond South Viet Nam. Some of those reports sprang directly from statements attri- buted to him in Saigon before he left. "There is no such thing as a simple solution in South . Viet Nam," he said. '"'There are too many variables to attempt to put through any one program. Spokesmen for the White House portrayed the Viet Nam consultations as a review, witi no "horrendous" decisions con- templated. But the fact remains the U.S. is faced with the alternatives of expanding its role or watching the internal situation in South Viet Nam continue to deterio- rate. Since President Ngo Dinh Diem, leader since 1955 was de- posed and killed a year ago, there has been a succession of coups, government realign- ments and riots. The last time Taylor visited Washington, in early September, there was an abortive coup. Stulent and Buddhist rioting and the subsequent declaration Greetings, LONDON (CP) -- Sir Winston Churchill is "cheerful and happy" approaching his 90th hirthday, a secretary said Fri- day night. Greetings and gifts from "'all parts of the world--a terrific lot from Canada and the United States," were arriving at the London home of the man who called Britain: to its "finest hour."' Churchill will be 90 on Mon- day but the celebration begins Sunday--if not before--with tel- evision and other tributes. Sir Winston plans to appear at the balcony window of his Knights- bridge house Sunday to retufn the salutes of admirers and be photographed. An aide said Churchill kas never been the type of person to be downcast by advancing age as signified' by birthdays and the forthcoming event was no exception. The Queen, as in other years, will extend greetings to the be- loved '"'Winston'"' who was prime minister when she was crowned in June, 1953, A recording company is sched- ain, Canada and some 25 other countries--including West Ger- Free Car Trade Talks Are Held OTTAWA (CP) -- Another round of talks on a_ possible move toward Canada - United States free trade in auto and parts was held here Friday be- tween government officials and executives of the American Car Manufacturers' Canadian sub-} sidiaries. | However, it was understood) that these manufacturers still are divided on the issue. Their representatives met spearately with officers of the industry, trade and other federal depart- ments. Government sources said a prerequisite of any move to- ward even a gradual abolition of tariffs is an understanding that the manufacturers would not only continue the present scale of their production in Can-| ada, but expand it. | Canada now accounts for about six per cent of the con- tinental market but has only four per cent of combined out- put. One reliable estimate is that it would require an addi- tional $200,000,000 in Canadian production to close the gap. | The talks here Thursday and/ Friday were preliminary to an- other round of discussions, probably early next month, be- tween officials of the Canadian and IS. governments. These talks have been going on for many--a set of records bearing major speeches by Churchill, A spokesman said 200 sets of the records, which play for up to 10 hours and cost £25, have been ordered by West German buyers. The collection includes the famous "Some Chicken, Some Neck" speech delivered before ment. Throughout the week an un- and greetings from around the world has poured into the Churchill home.

The falling water level in the easternmost lake of the Great Lakes is causing concern in New York State and Canada. The other Great Lakes also are experiencing Jower levels. Long-time _ residents of the Ontario shoreline say they have not seen the lake so low in three decades. The U.S. army corps of engi- neers agrees generally. A visitor with good hiking legs and some spare time these days can see: --Scores of small boats rest- ing high on land as far as 40 yards from water. --Boathouses and boat-haul- ing docks surrounded by bone-dry lake bottom. --Dredges being employed at $100-a-day to cut channels to link the receding waterline with business-hungry marinas and other marine-service op- erations. Army engineers report that the average depth of the lake now is slightly more than 242 feet. They say they believe that the decline, which began two years ago during prolonged dry weathel, will continue. MAY EQUAL RECORD By February, the engineers say, the level will be at an av- erage of 241.45 feet, the low re- corded in 1934. This is the low- "child of the House of Com- mons' received one of. his proudest honors earlier this year when Parliament passed am all- party motion, The unique action expressed profound gratitude to Churchill for his services to the nation and to the world.
