Now the concern is on the deplorable condition of the road. "With the change in the atti- tude of the parents, the board has now arranged a meeting with the city council on April 1. "The members of the board," the release says, '"'are most sympathetic to the problems of these parents, and have been trying for the past two months to find a solution. "Statements in the press have been made to the effect that these people have been trying for three months to get action officers in this area to assurejthe PUC and City Council, and that nothing had taken place, only a 'lot of buck passing'.

Dr. Elliot made a_ separate statement, after trustees report- ed an evening television news- cast said some of the students involved had to walk three miles to school. "The greatest distance any of the children would have to travel would be two and a half miles,"' he said, "and only eight of the 46 children involved are over two miles from the school."

Last night he lost the presi- dency of the Oshawa Riding Liberal Association. Mr. Dry- nan had been secretary of the association and his name was the only one that was sub- mitted for the presidency by the nominating committee. But the name of William Selby, a chartered accountant, was submitted from the floor and in a "close"? race, defeat- ed Mr. Drynan for the position. Mr. Selby was a director of the association, has lived in Osh- lawa for the last 10 years and |has four daughters. Mr. Selby takes over the post from Terence V.

Oshawa's board of education is studying the feasibility of re- introducing and _ expanding driver-training courses in the city's secondary schools. At a meeting last night, C. E.

Mr. Newman also wrote that "Vivash reported (at the tea at Diefenbaker's home) that under Diefenbaker's leadership party fortunes had come to such a low ebb that Starr is in grave danger of losing his seat." Mr. Vivash denied this too: "At no time did I ever make such a statement to Mr. Diefenbaker or anyone else." Walter R. E.

Dr. Mark MacGuigan, asso- ciate professor of law at the University of Toronto, speaking at the annual meeting of Osh- awa Riding Liberal Association at Hotel Genosha, said Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker had merely to offer Mr. Starr, Leon Balcer's seat on the floor of the House for him to take it. "Mr, Starr took the seat with no thought of respect for this great Canadian who put his country before his party," he said, "no thought of honoring Mr. Balcer by refusing to re- place him. No. Diefenbaker of- fered and Starr took." Dr. MacGuigan, who is vice- president of the Toronto and dis- trict Liberal Association and a member of the advisory commit- tee to the Justice Minister on hate propaganda, said Mr. Starr not only dishonored Mr. Balcer by taking his seat, but also en- dorsed Diefenbaker by accept- ing the seat next to him in the house. "T 'think that when the next election comes, the people of Ontario Riding will clearly show what they think of a man who cynically endorses Diefenbak- er," said the law professor. He said Mr. Starr not only endorsed Diefenbaker '"'but has taken to emulating him". Dr. MacGuigan recalled a progressive conservative meet- ing in Toronto-Greenwood Riding March 15 when Mr. Starr said| "the power struggle within the PC party is caused by persons who have selfish aims'. "Diefenbaker himself could do no better," said Dr. MacGui- gan, "to denounce his oppon- ents within his own party as men selfishly seeking their own gain." / Dr. MacGuigan said the Hall |Report has ended all debate} OTTAWA (Special) -- Mi- chael Starr, Ontario riding member of parliament, said to- day it is obvious that Dr. Mark MacGuigan "doesn't know what he is talking about". de was replying to state- ments made by Dr. MacGuigan last night in Oshawa at the an- nual meeting of the Oshawa riding Liberal Association.

"Ontario and British Colum- bia Liberal Parties have ready announced their endorse- ment of the Hall Report," he said, "and it is only a question of time until all the others do as well as the federal govern- ment." He said there is no difference between the Liberal and NDP view of a medical care scheme, "but the socialist view that all medical doctors should be em- ployees of the state often rears its head and was behind' much of the trouble in Saskatchewan. "Socialists, as usual, go too far, They never know what is enough of a good thing.'"' Dr. MacGuigan said that if a prediction made in Oshawa by re, Douglas three days ago that Canada will eventually have a two-party system comes true, it is more likely a prediction of the demise of his own party.

"T don't know who Dr. Mac- Guigan is; I have never heard of him; but it is obvious he doesn't know what he is talking about. "The recent criticism direct- ed at me by the New Demo- crats and now by the Liberals, reminds me of the old saying-- that the most sticks and stones are found under the best apple tree." Mr. Starr said he was sure those who heard Dr. MacGuigan speak "had formed their own opinion of him when he had finished." Richard D.

Board's Value Queried By MPP TORONTO (Special) -- The value of conciliation boards as they apply to negotiations be- tween major industries and unions was questioned in the legislature Monday by Albert Walker, MPP for Oshawa.
