pije 2 the tribune tbursi stfltnba j 1967 rtfmni seditbiims scholarship values to drop a point that is no doubt overlooked in most circles regarding the drastic change in grade 13 is the change in ontario scholarships for some time now students re ceiving 80 per cent or more in grade 13 examinations have been awarded 400 scholarships by the ontario government this award represents two thirds of the first years tuition at most universities xext year the schools will determine their own method of grading as there will be no provinciallyset exams the scholarship value will drop to 150 this new system will no doubt re sult in quite a variation in results de pending on each individual school staff there could be a temptation for competition to produce the most ont ario scholarships but this may be cur tailed by the drop in value we think the scholarships were a good thing but we know that others viewed the awards as simply reward ing some students who could memor ize better than others this argument is hard to prove the new arrangement will not help many over that initial year at uni versity the number of scholarships may be more the total awarded is likely to be less it has all ended too soon ten weeks of union services involv ing congregations of stouffvilles presbyterian and united churches concluded on sunday it has all ended too soon the plan organized for the first time by representatives of both de nominations has been most success ful thanks mainly to the cooperation of church members and leadership provided by both pastors everyone we have talked to has expressed enthusiasm over the ven ture and hope that it can be continued when another summer vacation sea son rolls around it goes to prove that differences between denomina tions if such really exist are of minor importance so minor in fact that few laymen know what they are we are laborers together with god said rev cromey in his ser- mon sunday the congregation could have justly replied amen the pas tor remarked that the union services had been a pleasing and enriching experience to that we will also reply an enthusiastic amen accommodation opportunity many hundreds of local residents the writer included have taken a number of motor holidays and been quite enthused by the overnight mo tel stops that can be made such stops are many and varied in facilities but the trend lately is to the more elabor ate rivalling hotel accommodation this brings us to our point that there is an opportunity in or near stouffville for a motel hundreds would stop over here every year if there was just a place instead they have to push on to the big city for their stopover good motel accommodation can be a sign of a progessive community at least to those passing through for stouffville such accommodation is nil because of our proximity to the big metro centre yearround busi ness could be anticipated we admit the investment is not small possibly seven or eight thousand dollars a unit would be an approximate figure if a firstclass establishment is to be est ablished no less than eight units would make for a good start these are not for peanut figures we are talk ing about but nonetheless the oppor tunity is here today stouffville has a fine recreation park golf courses galore and other facilities to make it attractive the town is on the move and this could be an investment in the progress fu ture young people present we attended the first service sun day evening in a twoweek crusade for christ campaign in the stouff ville arena the worship sponsored by the united missionary churches of altona gormlcy dicksons hill markham and stouffville extends over a 15day period concluding sept 17 the pastor is rev ken campbell and the guest soloist mr jim reese the campbellreese team are no strangers here their ministry in word and song is known across can ada and the united states many people consider such cru sades as a form of religious worship that attracts the interest and enthus iasm of adults the folks who if not attending a service in the arena would be in their own churches any way this is not the case here or at least it wasnt apparent on sunday night we would estimate that forty percent or perhaps more of the per sons in attendance were in their teens or early twenties in addition there were many children present the united missionary denomina tion is noted for its ability to hold its young people why this is so no one really seems to know but the truth of this fact is visible at any um worship whether it be in stouffville markham or elsewhere as positive proof of this point a special service designed to interest the youth of the area will be held on saturday in the arena at 8 pm the young people will be there and likely their parents too survey finds newspaper best the newspaper is the most popular choice as the best medium for finding out about advertised items accord ing to a survey disclosed at the recent international marketing congress in toronto the local newspaper was chosen for six out of the 10 of the 120 items 58tc named in the sur vey television came next leading in 52 of the items and radio in or about the same as word of mouth

the city of montreal and wound up in a park ing lot which was a 30minutc ferry ride from expo the regular lots arc five to ten minutes from the grounds the ferry cost si 50 a person the other lots provide a free bus the ferry dumped us at the wrong end of expo just ten miles from where wc wanted io be at 330 pm we were at expo never mind wc finally picked up my press pass the press building was a little bit of heaven airconditioned food and drink reasonable slightly re vived and just about the time i had thought wed beheading for home wc started out to do expo as always with our family there were no plans no organization we went into the first building wc saw it was the international broadcasting building fascinating perhaps for an engineer for us it was slightly less absorbing editors

line flash the pass and your party is admittd at the reserved en trance immediately along with people in wheelchairs and comas and other conditions the first time we did it we felt like real skunks i expected the enraged types in the lineup to scream and rave or threaten to tear us to pieces noth ing happened the second time ii felt like charles de gaulle after that i lost all compunction for the

argyle while tory leadership hopefuls made their final crosscountry forays last week in search of suppor among con servative party convent on delegates the old chief continued to dismay his rivals john diefenbakcr who will be 72 next week began lo sound as if he might finally be stepping down but he continued to tantalize the parly and the country by remaining mum on where he will throw his support when the delegates ballot by machine satur day at toronto maple leaf gardens as- of this writing mr diefenbakcr remained uncommitted over the leader ship race but he stressed again and again there arc certain people within the party who are just not acceptable to his radical brand of conservatism when mr diefenbakcr ipcaks to the conservative convention ibis thursday night with the eyes and cars of the nation on him via tv and radio he will have three clear choices his first is lo simply bow out grace fully secure in the knowledge thai he brought the tories oul of their political wilderness in 1957 and made them a parly of the people for the first time in half a century or determined as he maye be lo pursue his political career lo the bitter end he may announce his determina tion lo stand for reelection a course that would throw the convention into bitter disunity or finally he could hope lo retain his influence within the parly by giving his blessing lo one of the nine commit ted candidates or even o a darkhorsc as yet uncntercd in the race rumors oul of montreal lasi week spake of mr diefenbakcr having decid ed to nominate the citys mayor and the father of expo jean drapeau as his successor may drapeau is known to be anxious to finish his job of rebuilding montreal but is is cquallv sure he would find eager support right across canada should he decide to enter fed eral politics ever since mayor drapeau so cle- qucntly put gen dc gaulle to rights about ouebes future as part of canada he has been something of a hero among everyone but quebec separatists the delicious prospect of confound ing the tory establishment with such a nomination is bound to appeal to mr diefenbakcr especially if a deadlock developed among the leading candi- dales mayor drapeau would look more and more like the man lo solve the leadership dilemma the probability is however that a1r diefenbakcr will take a less dramatic course the likelihood is that he will declare his support for one of the pres ent candidates and in making his stand known the chief will once again throw down a gauntlet to the influential busi ness circles of eastern canada mr diefenbakcr changed ihc con servatives from a stodgy unimaginative parly of the status quo to one which for a time at least was able to harness the confidence of canadians from all walks of life il can be cxcpectcd therefore that mr diefcnmakcrs form charl on the candidate will look something like this son wallace mccutchcon fast on bay st but hopeless on main st over weight witli big buslncs support

another summer season mr underwood has been fresh ly cleaned and ribboned and in spite of its age looks in real great shape the truth is its condition both exterior and interior is much better than its user im a nervous wreck the reason 1 spent one terrifying afternoon at the canadian national exhibition with my five year old son it was my 31st con secutive visit to the ex but his first he figured he had to catch up on all the exciting things 1 had seen and he had missed he packed thirty years into four nerveracking hours im now ready to cash in on ihc firms retire ment fund at first he started off on the simple little things like buying a gasfilled balloon that streaked off into the wild blue yonder five minutes and fifty cents later purchasing an atomic ray gun that was crunched under the wheels of a cleanup van and readjusting the controls on an admiral color television set and drink his thirst knew no end and then he had lo go continually we must have visited every washroom on the grounds on one desperate occasion wc sneaked him into a womans when he said he could last no longer wc paced back and forth outside while- iadics coming and going eyed our pres encc there with some suspicion to our relief and no doubt his he finally came out the people in there kept asking me if i was lost and if i had a daddy or mommy he said innocently at that point i felt more like a granddaddy the pace was beginning to take its loll little did i know that the worst was yet to come much worse he wanted lo go on all the rides six tickets for one dollar was the limit of our financial endurance he flew around in a baby helicopter rode in a boat drove a motor- cycle got all smelled up on a mangy old donkey then aired himself out in a miniature rocket ship but that was kids stuff he next set his sights on th adilts world of ferris wheels roller coasters and other bloodcurdling mid way innovation wc relented just long- enough to be coaxed into buying two tickets for a

the answer was an unqualified uhuh theres always another year wc said thank goodness for that itll take fiftytwo weeks to recover for those persons who unlike our- selves failed to catch the thrill of
