TLE f : PeEERGTEH Hil HALTHEEL Ei tit t i a 1 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, May 30, 1967 COURSES FLEXIBLE 'New College Play Own Roles TORONTO (CP)-- Education Minister William Davis said Monday the provincial govern- ment does not plan to make On- tario's community colleges a pathway to university degrees. Con.munity colleges in some states of the U.S. perform this function, he told the legislature in a speech introducing spend- ing estimates for the depart- ment of education, because their universities find it impos- sible to accept all eligible stu- dents Mr. Davis said Ontario has been able to expand its univer- sities fast enough to handle the demand. He said he could not predict what type of courses the com- * munity colleges would be offer- 'ing five years from now. "Things are changing far too papidly," he said. The aim was to.keep the courses flexible. ~ CALLS FOR FLEXIBILITY New Democratic Party leader Donald MacDonald said the courses should be flexible and designed to meet the needs of the community the college serves. Mr. Davis said some general courses were outlined by the government, but only in the in- terest of getting the colleges un- der way with a minimum of de- lay, It was expected the courses would be changed locally. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said the con.munity colleges should offer courses parallel to toiuniversity course so students can. go on to university to com- plete their degree. "This would result in a saving to the student by enabling him to take two years of university training in a community college close to his home. He also urged the govern- ment to establish community colleges in centres with popula tions of 60,000 persons or more. He said Brantford was an ex ample. Mr. Davis said it would be "very difficult" to provide post- secondary education for every community of that size. He also said that at least 75 per cent of young people in Ontario are within 25 miles of a university. In other developments: --Health Minister Matthew Dymond announced that the manpower committee of On- tario's council of health is now studying a proposal to shorten the present six-year course for training doctors in the province. --Mr. Dymond said neither his department nor the On- tario Hospital Services Com- mission has been asked for assistance in resolving the dispute which led the Regis- tered Nurses Association of Ontario to "grey-list'"" Lennox and Addington County Hos- pital in Napanee. --Labor Minister Dalton Bales announced he has ar- ranged for talks to resume to- day between Ontario Hydro and striking construction workers in an effort to settle their dispute. --Development Minister Stan- ley Randall said the Muskoka Charcoal Co. has been lent $300,000 by the Ontario De- velopment Corp. to establish a charcoal briquettes opera- tion near Huntsville. Robarts Says Encouraged By Response MONTEBELLO, Que. (CP)-- Ontario Premier John Robarts said Monday night he is "pleased and encouraged" at the response to his proposal that Ontario convene a Confed- eration of Tomorrow conference this year. Mr. Robarts defended the proposed convention and On- tario's position on the refram- ing of Canada's constitution in a@ speech to the annual meeting of the Canadian Life Insurance Association. A text of the speech was repudiated provincial - suprem- acy views espoused by his attor- ney - general, Arthur Wish- art, said: To His Plan out the participation of the fed- eral government itself." The premier said he does not intend the conference to "pro- vide the provinces with an op- portunity to attack the federal government." "To avoid this we have ex- cluded from the agenda discus- sion of fiscal arrangements and specific suggestions of constitu- tional change." Topics on the agenda are a review of the problems of Con- federation, consideration of the federation's objectives, rela- tions between English- and French - speaking Canadians, and relations ebtween the fed- eral and provincial govern- ments and among the prov- "The government of Ontario inces. ig firmly committed to the prin- ciple of a strong central gov- ernment with all powers neces- sary to provide the national pol- icies to ensure a unified, pros- perous Canada." Mr. Robarts said the federal government became a new and senior level of government in Canada 100 years ago. RESPECTS STATUS "This fact Ontario honors and respects," he said. '"'No change can be made in this status with- "TI. believe we have a funda- mental problem in this country of French - Canadian national- ism which must be given urgent attention," he said. "There must be a searching examina- tion of the place given to our two basic cultural groupings." Mr. Robarts said he hopes delegates will agree that in all provinces with 'appreciable' groups of French - speaking residents "provision must be made to permit their children to be educated in their own language." Place Ville Marie Builder Intersted In Toronto Site TORONTO (CP) -- The city has been offered a cash pay- ment to expropriate land that was to have been used for a T. Eaton Co. Ltd. redevelopment project, Mayor William Denni- son said Monday. William Zeckendorf, interna- tional developer responsible for many major North American projects including Montreal's Place Ville Marie, has told the city he is prepared to undertake the defunct Eaton's project. Eaton's officials announced two weeks ago they were aband- oning the $260,000,000 plan that would have put several new of- fice buildings, a convention ho- tel and a huge Eaton's depart- ment store in a 22.3 - acre area Mr. Dennison said he esti- mates the land Mr. Zeckendorf wants to use would cost about $40,000,000. In a letter to Mr. Dennison Friday, Mr. Zeckendorf said he would provide Eaton's with a new store or an addition or improvements to the existing one. He said he would require a 99- year lease from the municipal- ity and would pay rent in lieu of real estate tax. It would take three to six months to develop a detailed plan for use of the land. The mayor said he was happy with the new proposal. Board of control would consider it Wed- adjacent to the new city hall. nesday. - "New Officers Installed \ By Bowmanville Institute ~-BOWMANVILLE (TC) -- Of- ficers for the ensuing year were installed at a recent mee- ting of the Women's Institute by Mrs. S.

Oil Sheikdom Closes Show As Politics Come To Expo By JACK TRACY MONTREAL (CP) -- Interna- tional politics hit Expo 67 for the first time Monday when the oil sheikdom of Kuwait closed its tiny pavilion over what was termed Canada's attitude in the Middle East crisis, Less than 24 hours after Pres- s\ident Nasser of Egypt criti- cized Canada for being biased toward Israel in»the Middle East dispute, the commissioner- general of Kuwait's pavilion received a telegram ordering him to close. Except in the offices of Expo, however, the closing caused scarcely a ripple. Crowds con- tinued to flock into the pavilions of other Arab countries, those of the United Arab Republic, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, which kept their doors open. The crowds filled other pavil- ions too, By 12 midnight, 265,492 visitors compared with an expected 161,900 for a total Expo's turnstiles had counted) of 8,319,173 since the fair opened, An Expo spokesman said the action of Kuwait had been taken "unilaterally" and the fair's management had received no advance notice of the planned closing. : POLITICS BLAMED Michael Dibben, head of the press, radio and TV division, said there was regret at the fair 'that politics had been brought into the arena of Expo 67 after they had been kept out of it with great success." The $200,000 Kuwait and the other Arab pavilions are on Notre Dame Island in roughly the same area as the pavilion of Judaism. There was a hint that the closing might not be perman- ent. It was believed Canadian authorities were getting in touch with the Kuwait mission in Washington. Kuwait has no rep- resentation in Canada. A spokesman for the pavilion said its commissioner-general, F. M. Fahad Sarawi, did not know if the pavilion would be closed permanently. But life was not all solemn on the fairgrounds Monday. Some of the stars of the Aus- tralian review Pop Goes Aus- tralia, which had its premiere pal at Expo als Monday night, cavorted over the site. THROWS BOOMERANG Frank Donellan, who claims the world boomerang - throwing title, demonstrated his skill for newspaper men by throwing his boomerang out over the St. Lawrence River, with the weapon returning to a spot 10 feet from him. Then Rolf Harris, who won fame singing Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport, put on his three- legged act for photographers and tried to get through an Expo turnstile. Even Dairy Industry Day, which opened with a speech by Forestry Minister Sauve, let its hair down a little. After Mr. Sauve read a solemn pronounce- ment from Prime Minister Pearson on the "nutritional and economic value of milk," dairy princess Gaylene Miller of Dal- meade, Alta., led a procession to Man the, Provider pavilion where thousands of children re- ceived free scoops of ice cream. Today the Israeli pavilion re- turns to the publicity spotlight with the launching of its Bible quiz. Forms, with true-or-false questions, will be distributed to visitors and there will be monthly drawings for trips for two to Israel throughout Expo's six months, A POPULAR JOB LONDON (CP) -- More than 120 men who wanted to get away from it all swamped the Trinity House coast guard ore ganization applying for 10 vas cancies for lighthouse keepers, Ford Found TORONTO (CP) -- Wayne Ford, charged with the capital murder of his widowed mother, Monday heard a_ psychiatrist describe him as an aggressive type of psychopath, inclined to outburts of violence and unable to tolerate stress and frustra- tion. Dr. Robert Turner, chief of forensic services at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Tor- onto, told a Supreme Court Jury that Ford's type of psychopathic disorder could fit the legal de- finition of insanity, but, in most cases it did not. Ford, 20, has pleaded not guilty to the capital murder charge. His mother, Minnie Ford, 55, disappeared from their suburban Toronto home just be- fore the 1963 Victoria Day week- end. The Crown claims that a body found last October in Lake Couchiching, 70 miles north of here, was that of Mrs. Ford. Ford told the court Friday that, following an argument with his mother on May 16, \1963, he hit her with a baseball bat when she threatened him with an icepick. Five days later he and two teen-age friends dumped her body into Lake Cou- chiching, he said. U.S. Teamsters Back Contract WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Teamsters Union announced Monday overwhelming approval by 450,000 members of a three- year national contract with the U.S. trucking industry provid- ing 76 cents an hour in wage and benefit increases. The contract was approved by a 4-to-1 margin with some 70 per cent of those eligible cast- ing ballots, the union said. A committee of the trucking industry, representing some 1?,- 000 American firms, earlier ap- proved the contract which was negotiated after a rash of small strikes and a three - day na- tional lockout last month. Wages before the new agree- ment ranged from $3.32 an hour to about $5 an hour, with long- distance truck drivers making the higher rate on the basis of mileage payments. The 76-cent package in the new contract includes hourly wage increases of 25 cents an hour this year and 15 cents hourly in each of the following two years. The rest of the money goes to increased mile- age payments, health and wel- fare benefits, pensions, vaca- tions and cost-of-living pay in- creases. Doctor Drops Suit For Fees TORONTO (CP)--A _ Toronto eye-doctor who refused to ac- cept a cheque from the provin- cial health insurance plan has ordered his collection agency to drop a suit against the patient who refused to pay the doctor directly. The case of the unpaid $11.50 bill of Richard Thorne, a sub- scriber of the Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan, came up in the legislature May 2 when the Ontario New Demo- cratic Party leader, Donald MacDonald, criticized Dr. Jo- seph Grader of suburban North York for not accepting the cheque. Dr. Grader said in an inter- view Monday he is withdrawing the suit because it had been turned into a political issue and is too time-consuming. He attacked. Mr. MacDonald for "trying to force me to run My business the way he wants." Mr. MacDonald's that Dr. Grader does not ap- prove of OMSIP had been '"'dis- torted and one-sided" and at no time had the NDP leader asked him for his side of the story, Dr. Grader said he reserves tient pays. He did accept of welfare patients' bills which he mailed directly to the OMSIP Office. Psychopathic statement the right to decide how a pa-|. _-- OMSIP cheques for payments} S ONLY.....
