(CP)--A 72-year-old woodsman who once mushed a dog team 2,300 miles from The Pas, Man., will again take to the road Wed- nesday behind three white Siber- fan huskies. Halvor Weberg, whose 73-day trek to the Chicago World Fair of 1933 was chronicled by dozens of newspapers in both Canada and the United States, will make the jaunt through Saskatchewan as his con- tribution to the province's golden jubilee celebrations, But this time he'll travel in what he rates as comfort. Instead of the Hiekety steel-tired contraptin be used years ago, his prized hus- kies will pull a three-wheeled, rub- ber-tired cart, BIG TRIP ANYWAY He hasn't revealed his itinerary yet. But should he go via Prince Albert to Regina for the Sept. 15 anniversary of the province's for- mation in 1905 he would travel more than 1000 miles. Hudson: Bay is 130 miles east of Prince Albert, Also, he II probably travel alone this time. On the Chicago trip, his 16-year-old daughter Loreen, now married and living in British Col. usbia, hori along. t most of her time Tl He cart sewing moccasins to protect the dogs' feet from pave- ment and gravel. She used up 91 to Chicago | Trip To Be Over 1,000 Miles | {ards of heavy canvas. Weberg imself wore out nine pairs of run- ning shoes in trotting behind the cart for more than 1,400 miles of the journey. TRAFFIC TIE-UP When they arrived on Chicago's Michigan boulevard on Aug. 11, 1933, cars and people jammed the | street to catch a glimpse of these | crusading Canadians. One police- man told them it was the worst traffic tie-up he had seen in his 24 years on the Chicago force. Weberg intended to earn enough at the fair to return to The Pas by more conventional means, but he | said the concession fees at the fair were too high, So he put his hus- kies back in harness and started home, They didn't get far before the citizens of Menominee, Wis., pro- vided a touring car. Dog cart, dogs and all were piled in the back seat and the Webergs drove home in style, | IN BUSH CAMP | For the last 17 years, Weberg | has hunted, trapped and cut pulp- | wood in this area.

E. LaZerte, former head of the Uni- versity of Alberta's education de- partment, The report runs the statistical gamut of data collected in all 10 provinces, then concludes by rec- ommending the federal government assist in financing elementary and secondary educat by providing $150,000,000 a year. Dr. LaZerte suggests one-third of this aid be on a per-pupil basis, The balance would provide grants Jrovisees with low tax-paying aol me $25,000 report was pr ated by Dr.. LaZerte, a leading dian authority on education, hi the Canadian School Trustees' Associa- tion. It will be studied by the associa- tion's next annual meeting at Que- bec City in September and, if ap- proved, likely will be presented to the federal cabinet, COVER 10 YEARS The expenditures are calculated to meet the 65-per-cent enrolment schools within 10 yéars, eliminate 50 per cent of current mon-atten- dance, reduce half the overcrowd- ing in classrooms, and raise teach- 3 standards, r. LaZerte worked in his Ed- monton home with the help of a full-time secretary. For a job which eventually re- quired two trips across Canada CSTA funds were at a minimum, However, an appeal for volun- tary contributions netted the nec- essary $25,000-55 per cent from trustees, 40 per cent from teachers and the rest from industrial and commercial donors. Immigration trends and birth rates are examined in detail as the report begins with a survey of the school population. ELEMENTARY GRADES Dr. predicts a 15-per- cent inPrease in elementary.grades na-| by 1960-61 and a 70-per-cent boost by 1965-66. Grade 1 enrolment, now 417,072 with a 3,000-student boost expected next fall, would be nearly 500,000 by 1965. Similarly, Grade 12 en- rolment would increase to 86,137 from 56,605. Total 'enrolment fn all Srades would increase from the current 2,860,858 to 3,314,531 by 1960 and to 3,651,248 by 1965, At least 38,000 extra classrooms and teachers will be needed to meet the increase, he concludes. At 1955 dollar values, new build- ings would cost $750,000,000. Teach- ers' salaries would take $100,000, 000 yearly, Keeping more children in school longer will be another costly im- provement. Dr, LaZerte says 140, 000 pupils now are leaving Sefivo} each year between Grades 8 and 11, Only provinces with more than half their children between the ages of 15 and 19 attending classes in 1951 were British Columbia (36,- 532 of 70,230) and Alberta (37,182 of 73,941). This contrasted sharply with the Northwest Territories, where only 96 of the 1,426 children were enrolled.
