PAGE SIXTEEN THE 'OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1940 TRUSTEES GLASH OVER REPORT ON NIGHT CLASSES Considerable heated discussion was caused at the meeting of the Board of Education last night by the report of the Vocational Ad- visory Committee on the proposed night classes. Mr. A. E. O'Neill, principal of the Collegiate and Vocational Institute desired instruc- tions as to the operation of the War Emergency Classes to be begun shortly at the Collegiate and to what extent they should be allowed to interfere with the routine oper= ation of classes. Members of the Board felt that instructions from the Department of Education in Toronto were not specific enough in the apportionment of time be- tween academic subjects and the technical subjects which comprise the special classes. Anxiety was felt by Mr. O'Neill for the fate of the new well-estab- lished first year general course at the Collegiate for which no provi- YOUR CAR 75: Free Pick-up and Delivery HARRY 0.

Trustee Dr, F. J.

While agreeing with Trustee Donevan that nothing should be done to hinder the war effort, Trustee Mrs. Colpus and Mr. O'Neill felt that caution should be exercised for fear that too dras- tic action might upset the entire educational system. As stated else- where in this issue a committee was appointed to approach the De- partment of Education for further definite instructions applicable to Oshawa. 254 Are Missing 22 Dead in Jewish Steamer Explosion Jerusalem, Nov. 27--(AP)--Twen= ty-two persons were killed, 25 in- jured seriously enough to require hospital treatment and 254 are missing as the result of an explo- sion which capsized the refugee steamship Patria in Haifa harbor Monday, official sources announced today.

Juan Andreu Almazan's renunciation of all claims to the presidency. Almazan's earlier refusal to con- cede victory to Gen. Manual Avila Camacho in the July 7 election had kept the nation in constant fear of bloodshed. Anxiety had increased as the inauguration approached. Avila Camacho will take office Sunday, beginning a six-year term. Almazan, Independent candidate in the July election, handed out a statement renouncing his claims soon after arriving here by plane yesterday following a three-month stay in the United States. The United States' decision to send vice-president-elect Henry A. Wallace to Mexico City for the Avila Camacho inauguration prompted his renunciation, Alma- zan declared. Some of Almazan's followers com- plained that their candidate had "let them down" and expressed resentment toward the United States recognition of him as the president-elect.

Almazan supporters had said pre- viously they would not move with- out his direct leadership. The chamber of deputies Sept. 12 proclaimed Avila Camacho presi- dent-elect of Mexico on the basis | of an electoral c¢ ission report that he won over AlMazan by 2,476, 641 votes to 151,188 in the July | election.
