We Can Learn Something From Everyone ' It is my opoinion that we can something from everyone. During this trip I have tried to speak mostly with the English students so I will learn from them. I like to talk about any subject: geography, economics, religion or politics. The word "impossible" does not exist for me. | am in a hurry to learn languages and understand many cultures. One of my greatest aiins is to tra- vell around the world to develop @ more "open" me. I would like to be able to discuss any subject with equal objectivity and understanding. That is why I am going to uni- versity and want to travel, I want a broad understanding of the world in general, We do not mix the boys and the girls in the district I come from, In Sherbrooke. I am glad we do not have co-ed education. It is a great disadvantage to studying, I am sure. I think you have difficulties, too.

(Staff) Satur- day's double shooting in this tiny village, which left one man dead and another seriously hurt, has been confirmed by Whitby provincial police as an attempted-murder suicide. A police spokesman said this morning that two bullets were \fired from a .22 rifle, Dead is Sydney Reason, 54, of Myrtle village in Whitby Township, His brother-in-law, Edward Wayne Shepard, 63, of Myrtle village, continues to make sat- isfactory progress in Toronto General Hospital where he was rushed after the shooting, Whitby provincial police are continuing an investigation into the shooting. Investigating offi- cer is Constable Ernest Collin- awa's contribution to the pro-| vincial motorcycle toll, : Figures for the province make startling reading. In the first six months of this year 20 riders and eight passengers were killed. In the same period last year the figures were eight riders kill- ed and four injured. Injured in the province so far were 1,125 riders and 287 passengers, a sharp rise on the figures for the previous year. Yesterday, Ms. Eve White, editor of the Canadian Morot- cyclist called for: government upervised compulsory instruction for no- vice riders. the establishment of in- struction areas; -- a ban of all machines of five horsepower and less from the provincial highways; -- separate licenses for mo- torcycle riders and the elimi- nation of auto licences as per- mits for motorcycle riding; -- insignias for novice riders to enable motorists to recog- nize them immediately; -- and the development of a safety helmet complying with specifications of the Canadian phasis on the city's one-way streets, Sgt. Tane said that everything seemed to be work- ing out well, "So far we have only had one recorded accident on the new system," he said, 1,560 TAKE TRIP BACK IN TIME Some 1,560 persons have journeyed back more than a century in time in Oshawa since May 19. They toured Park's Henry House, the venerable and_ historic ex- hibit of the 19th century's way of life in the area. Up to the end of July last year, House records showed that 1,360 persons were attracted to the tourist draw- ing card. Last year total attendance was 2,511.

Under the present method of conducting the surveys, the province pays half the cost and the municipalities the remaining 5 cent, "Are we wine to go ahead with a study at this time when there are so many other studies being undertaken?" asked Aid. Thomas, STAFF NEEDED Ald, Hayward Murdoch told council there was no indication when the study would be undtr- taken, "Dr, Cumming told us at the meeting the province was have ing difficulty obtaining suitable staff to conduct these surveys and they could take from two to three years to complete," he said, Ald, Alice Reardon asked if the decision by Oshawa indic- ated its willingness to conduct such a study would affect the county, She was told the county would be advised by letter of Osh- awa's decision to participate in the regional government study and that it was mainly a matter of taking the first step, Earlier this year represent. atives from' Oshawa, Bowman+ ville, Ontario County and Dare lington Township met to dise cuss the possibility of request+ ing such a study for the coun. ty and perhaps Bowmanville and Darlington, W. J. Spooner, Minister of Municipal affairs has indicated that a study will be approved if the municipalities involved present an unanimous request, At the meeting, county war« den, Wilfred Gould suggested the four representatives discuss the study idea with their couri« cils and indicate to the county if they are willing to partici« pate. Mayor Criticizes Absentee aldermen were giv- en a blast last night by Mayor Lyman Gifford, The aldermen, who were not mentioned by name, failed to notify the mayor they would be unable to attend last night's meeting. 'I'm very disappointed these aldermen didn't show up for tonight's meeting," said Mayor Gifford, "We passed 17 bylaws tonight," the mayor said, "now where would be without a quo- rum?"' Before council can assemble it must have a quorum -- a minimum of seven aldermen. "These aldermen told me they would not be on vacation and would be available to make up the necessary quorum," he told council, abouts, Mayor Gifford said he also Absent Aldermen deplored the action of some aldermen who were not on va cation, who flatly refused to attend the meeting, "Some aldermen who were not on holidays flatly refused to come tonight," he told council, He thanked Ald, Alex Shes- towsky and Ald. Clifford Pil» key for attending the meeting to make up the: quorum, Both had previously indicated they would be unable to attend, Absent from the meeting were; Ald, Cephas Gay, Ald, Norman Down, Ald.

Mayor Gifford opposed the en- dorsing of the resolution, "Surely the board of educa- tion has gone over these things and they must have some rea- son for saying this plan will fail', he told council. Ald. Pilkey said his commit- tee recommendation doesn't mean council should endorse the entire resolution but only the latter part concerning the mass production af component parts. Ald. Margaret Shaw said as a former member of the board of education she felt sure the board would be happy to hear any recommendation that would cut down the cost of school construction. OPPOSITION In a letter from J, B. Wimbs, acting research architect rep- resenting the miuister of edu- cation, W. G. Davis, several reasons, why a standard play would not work, were heard by council, The letter states the scheme has-appeared to have failed elsewhere because the designs are to normal require- ments and site conditions. Widely varying building, regue lations also inhibit their use, the letter continued If standard plans are used council heard, there exist a problem of responsibility for writing contract documents, su- pervising the work, changing architectural, mechanical, struc- tural and sanitary drawings to eater for minor plan revisions or site or location differences. basic booth No A telephone squeeze in contest?
