Costs Of University Education In THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE }Survey Reveals 7 Universities Have Raised Fees BY THE CANADIAN PRESS University education will cost more in Canada next year. Seven of 11 universities and colleges reporting in Canadian Press survey said they plan to increase tuition fees for stu- dents returning to classes in the fall. All 11 have announced increases in tuition at various times since the end of the second world war. Decreased returns on ments and endowments and the higher cost of maintenance and faculty instruction were blamed for the increases. Inflated costs were temporarily offset during peak post-war years when record numbérs of veterans attended classes. This shorterm financial boost has disappeared since almost all veterans had graduated by this spring. QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY Enrolment at Queen's University at Kingston, Ont., during the peak years of 1947-48 was 3163. Enrol- ment for the year just completed was 2316. Recently-announced tui- ton increases at Queen's range from $230 for first-year arts to $365 for medicne. Books and socity fees are extra. Fees in 1945-46 were $173 for arts and $245 for mediéne. AT TORONTO Higher tuiton fees in all div- sions of the 12,500-student Univer- sity of Toronto were announced May 22 by President Sidney Smith. The increases range from $29 in the music general course to a high of $70 in engineering, architecture, dentistry and medicine. The new rates, which include indicental fees, also apply to the graduate school and deiploma courses. Carleton College in Ottawa has increases of 20 per cent planned for September, bringing the basic tuiton to $240. The last increase was in 1948 when fees were raised 31-3 per cent. The University of Ottawa ex- pects slight increases for next year but has set no definite amount. Tuiton fees there have been raised $50 since the war. UP AT McMASTER An estimated 1000 students at- tending classes next year at Mc- Master University in Hamilton will have to pay an additional $26, brnging the cost to $265 for the arts student. Other categories will be $275 and $300, depending on the number of laboratory courses tak- en. At the end of 1946-47, the basic $uiton was $182.50. Bachelor of Arts courses next year at McGill University in Mont- real will cost $300, up $70 from 1945-46 figures. Partial students will' be $250 to $300 next year depending 'on the" faculty. Officals said no further increases are plan- ned now. University of Montreal fees aver- age about $180 a year with medi- t $375. Fee increases of for most courses next termi have been announced. Two other increases were made since 1945-46. WESTERN UNIVERSITIES The University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon has raised its fees twice since 1945, the increase aver- aging $100. No further increase is planned for next term. The University of Alberta in Ed- 'monton recently increased its fees by 20 per cent. Highest fees are in medicne--$425 for the first two years and $450 for the second two. At Vancouver, the University of Britsh Columbia has 'a $50 fee increase planned for fall, the sec- ond increase since 1948. Fees last year averaged $247. Increasing educational costs dis- rub eduecationists. Mr. Justice J. [Keiller MacKay of the Ontario Supreme Court said recently at ommencement exercises of St. Francis Xavier University at Anti- gonish, N.S., that higher fees "would undermine the whole bril- liant future of Canada." Like many other educationists, Mr. Justice MacKay urged federal financial aid to universites. (End advance for pms of ed- nesday, May 30).

This information is contained in the company's annual report. The report does npt give the number of shares held by the shareholders who hold this view. In April, McIntyre, and a num- ber of shares held by the share- holders who hold this view. In April, McIntyre, and a num- ber of other mines, sent out a questionnaire asking for views on the gold industry. Of Mclntyre's 4547 shareholders, 1310 sent in re- plies. Here are the questions and re- plies: Are you in favor of Canada's gold mines being given free ac- cess to world markets for gold, at home and abroad? Yes 1278; No 20; undecided 12. Should we, in order to give sup- port to our employees and the mining communities in general, continue to struggle against al- most impossible odds until our resources are exhausted? Yes 130; no 1042; undecided 138. Should we, in order to conserve our valuable ore assets, give con- sideration to suspension of opera- tions until we can reopen the gold mines under more favorable con- ditions. Yes 988; no 176; undecid- ed 146. Balmer Neilly, president, com- ments on the questionnaire in his report to shareholders, as follows: "The quick response made and the number of replies received were far beyond our original ex- pectations. The final decision in this matter will probably emerge from the negotiations now in pro- gress between the bargaining agent of our employees and the company's staff." Plan Big Display For Trade Fair LONDON -- (CP) -- Robert As- quith, president of an association which does a £2,000,000- ($6,000,000) - a-year business in Canada, claims the association will have the larg- est British section at the Canadian International Trade Fair in To- ronto this year. Asquith told reporters that the Machine Tools Trade Associatoon has ordered 32,000 square feet of show space--to display everything from a dentist's drill to a 30-ton machine that presses out automo- bile bodies. Asquith was one of 200 export- ers attending a reception at Can- ada House. Also among them was Sir Colin Gubbins, wartime head of an organization directing sabotage and underground activity, Part of his peacetime job is selling carpets and textiles to Canada.

Britain Seeks To Speed Up Re- Arming LONDON (CP)-- A drive to step up Britain's rearmament program is. recommended in the latest re- port released by the Commons select committee on estimates. The report underlines a warning that unless round - the - clock work shifts are adopted by defence in- dustries, the rate' of production may be seriously slqwed because scarce machine tools are not being fully used. It discloses that the time - lag between ordering and taking de- livery of machine tools varies from eight months for clothing to as much as 24 months for a new type of aircraft. To meet this and other produc- tion problems, the report urges the government to: 1. Work out an effective system of allocating scarce raw materials. 1. Develop a bold policy of up- grading semi-skilled workers, dilu- tion of skilled labor in every prac- tical way, and encouraging, women to return to industrial employment. 2. Work out an effective system of allocating scarce raw materials. 3. Reduce administrative formal- ities which are delaying construc- tion of new factories for defence works. 4. Conduct a census of all ma- chine tools -needed for defence which may have to be requisitioned and extend sub - contracting for tools in urgent demand. The committee says workers have been leaving the machine-tool industry because of better wages paid in industries meeting boom export demands. It deplores the effect of the call-up of apprentices, and urges adoption of measures for vigorous development of schemes for training. It also suggests ef- forts to secure more trained scientific workers. New Zealand Building Costs Rise AUCKLAND, NZ, -- (CP) -- The building industry in New Zealand is buoyant at present but the time is fast approaching when rising costs will outstrip the demand. This was the conclusion of a re- port to the annual conference of the New Zealand master builders' federation. It said that costs are nearing the limit beyond which it will neither be possible for the industry to recover and economic return on capital invested in new buildings, nor for the would-be home builder to contemplate even the simplest of homes. This warning, said the report, is given '"'disregarding the poe sibility of an adverse turn in trad- ing conditions, international or local, and the subsequent reper- cussions." ] Cost of a modest home of mini- mum standards for wage-earners rose by about three per cent in 1949 and another six per cent 'in 1950. This year the price is ex- pected to rise another 10 per cent, at least. The survey said that since 1929 wages had risen nearly 146 per cent. Raw materials rose between 60 and 300 per cent. It estimated cost of the average building is di- vided as follows: 45 per cent for direct labor (building); 27 per cent for indirect labor (production of material); 28 per cent for basic cost of raw material, admin- istrative and capital charges, over- head and profit. Indirect expenses affecting build- ing costs include higher charges for professional services; higher standards in household fittings; material shortages causing loss of productive and supervisory time, and labor shortages aggravated by demands from "mushrooming" in- dustries. .

Changing Korean Weather Hard on Princess Pats Dirt roads, pulverized under military traffic into a heavy dirt flour two and three inches thick, almost take to the air in dense { opaque clouds Aas vehicles move over them. So far the Italian campaign trick of wearing a neckerchief over the nose and mouth while driving hasn't caught on, although the oc- casional military policeman at an intersection uses one. U.S. Army dus t-respirators, which strap over nose and mouth, are expected to be available short Meanwhile drivers have at least eye protection. Goggles equipped with polarized lass are plentiful, and they have cushioned pads that insulate the eyes. While prolonged exposure to dust can produce the same pulmonary complaints--and worse-- that af- fect miners, it has been blamed already for a variety of ailments varying from headache, laryngitis and even dysentery. Increasingly frequent rains settle the dust temporarily besides her- alding the approach of 'the rainy season. First effect of the water on the flour-like surface is to pack it, like cement, and briefly there is a good road again. But as the fall continues, the texture softens into mud, and then grease into which the traffic tears deep ruts. Second Front, Take 1 By BILL BOSS WITH THE CANADIANS IN KO- REA (CP) -- The Patricias are beginning to squint. It's the glare. The hot Korean sun has set the battalion to thinking about head- gear. Unlike Italy, where the Canadian Army's beret was practical year- round wear, Korea lacks cover for the campaigner. The soldier man- ning a mountain position usually is on a bald, treeless ridge or spur. On the move there are few hedges, vines or trees for him to pause under. Faces that don't tan are taking a beating, especially the noses. Lieut. John Pearson of Winnipeg, for instance, has to keep a piece of paper or a handkerchief over his whenever he stops in the sun, So the Patricias are going to wear United States army caps, a cross between a baseball cap and a locomotive engineer's with a 2%-inch peak. Dust and rain are two other fac- tors that figure in summer cam- paigning in Korea. Still in battle-dress and wind- pants -- long since tattered and shredded under the wear of cam- paigning -- the Patricias soon will be issued their summer clothing, Canadian - made bush gear that i. light, comfortable and tough. That at least render more bear- able the sultry, stuffy atmosphere that accompanies the rainy season. Their poncho-gouridsheets will keep them dry. The ine: usually fall during June, July and August. Records indicate a peak period of continuous downfall during June, tapering down to brief, but intense, evening showers in August. Again like Italy, the rains have Jsharp, and immediate, effect on river levels. Time and again camps have been washed out. Established in fine weather on dry-looking river beds they have been flooded by torrents that storm down overnight. : The Patricias' rear headquarters look for flat riverbanks for their 'camps. Even so, a tentful of drivers under Sgt. Ian Selkirk of trail, B, C., awoke one morning recently to find 10 inches of water under their camp cots. Pte. Jim Rowland of Hamilton spotted his boots floating right- side-up at the far end of the tent, dry inside. Less fortunate were. Cpl. Gordon Wildings of Woodville, Ont., Pte. Clayton Garrison, Chat- ham, Ont., Pté, Olas Debolt of Moose Jaw, and Pte. Raoul Le- franc of Ottawa, all of whose be longings were sodden. $36,550 Realized At Sale of Holsteins OAKVILLE (CP) -- A total of $36,550 was realized Tuesday on the sale of 69 head of pure-bred Holsteins for an average of $529 at the disposal of the Roselawn herd of Richmond Hill.
