A spokesman for the public works department says con- on several streets will start soon. Drivers ean take heart, how- ever - it should all be over by the fall - by November at least for the major jobs. The department is at present engaged on projects along Sim- coe, north and south, from Brock to Rossland; road widen- ing in Rossland from Mary to Stevenson; installing a new bridge on the north side of the existing road bridge at Ross- land Road over the Oshawa creek. This is in addition to curb, guttering and paving work at various sites around the city and subdivision contracts. "We have a_ tremendous amount of work on schedule," added the spokesman, '"'but there are not as many sub- divisions being developed this year as usual." DIFFICULT One of the most difficult pro- jects for the department will be on Ritson Road North with railway facilities and factory entrances involved in the work. In addition the railway comp- any is putting in new track and re-locating some other sections. This means that close co - or- dination is necessary to avoid serious traffic congestion.

INTIMACY Referring to the assembly line type of large bureaucratic in- stitutions he added: '"'Educators today are discovering the need of intimacy, the warmth of a flesh and blood teacher who |loves her pupils. A great school lis nothing more than a_ great soul with a group of children." Christian education meant total commitment. Dr. Akers went on: "Those who try us most, most need our Jove and understanding. Under that bid for education is a call for help. There must be a complete one- ness with the student. llearn more of our high calling as a teacher." SPEAKERS Other speakers and coun- sellors at the convention include Pastor L. E. Smart, formerly of Oshawa and now superintendent of education for the Adventist schools in the New England states. Director of the convention is Pastor M. E.
