mn TODAY'S TOPIC PENNY HORTON DAVID Board of control will recom- end to city council tonight that taxes be increased 4.85 mills which includes money to start the civic square proj- ect. The hike will cost the average taxpayer about $38.80 extra this year. The Oshawa Times asked six people how they felt about the tax jump. Lynda Colbourne, 124 Jones Ave.: "Every year taxes go up but this seems like a big jump and we can't do any- thing about it. Prices are aw- fully high right now. If the city really needed everything it was going after it would be all right but I don't think they do. Sometimes the city spends money foolishly." HAND RALPH SCHOFIELD Ralph Schofield, Swiss Heights Rd.: 'I'm a real es- tate broker and from experi- ence I find that many home- owners, especially in the fixed income. bracket, find they are unable to cope with rising taxes on homes and _ there- fore are quietly giving up their homes for less uesir- able accommodation. Some are forced out of the city to rural or suburban areas where taxes are lower. But these moves are against their wills." Ron Trott, 410 King St. E.: "It doesn't bother me too much. I'm single and I don't own a home. Maybe they need a new addition to city hall. I don't know. But Council Sets Tax Rate Tonight | saad TORONTO (CP) Wide- spread changes in Ontario's student awards plan, including administration by the universi- ties instead of by the depart- ment. of education, were an- nounced Wednesday by Educa- tion Minister Davis. Initial reaction by the Ontario! region of the Canadian Union| of Students was that the revi- jsions were "inadequate." Hugh |Armstrong, regional president, jsaid the program "will not en- |sure equality of educational op- portunity in this province." | However, he welcomed the) decision to turn over admini- stration of the program to the} universities.

David Hand, 1022 McCullough Dr., Whitby: "Every time the taxes go up the standard of living goes up too. I don't like they sure could spend some money on snow removal." Janet Rorabeck, 352 Ritson Rd. N.: "If I had to pay $40 extra this year on a home, I would faint. Taxes are high enough and so is the standard of living. Living will get paying these taxes.

The program, introduced last other sources will Queen's Park Revises Student Awards Plan The minister listed six basic changes in the program for the 1967-68 academic year: 1. A ceiling of $600 will be placed on the loan portion of student aid, so that a student with an assessed need of $1,300 would get a $700 grant and a $600 loan. 2. Family contributions to de- pendent students will be related "solely to annual income," with no reference being made to other assets such as home own- ership, savings or life insur- ance. 3. To "'leave scope for incent- ive through other awards," the first $150 of total awards from be disre- garded in calculating the stud- ent's needs. 4.

The committee had asked the OMA to postpone its increases which would require new legi- slation to change OMSIP pay- ments--now 90 per cent of the OMA fee schedule. Under the new schedule, OMSIP payments would cover only about 72 per cent of some fees. PLANTS FEEL PAIN MOSCOW (AP)--Plants have feelings too, says a Soviet scien- tist.
