SF VCR S te OLE POSHRSeCSO Ve! Committee To Study Night Class Plans class-|finances collected from the 'Trustee Coffey said he could A report of night school es to be offered in city secon- dary schools during the 1962-63 term was sent to the Advisory Vocational Committee for fur- ther study Monday night by the Oshawa Board of Education. Several of the courses will be initiated in a three-year cycle to encourage students to complete a Grade 13 education. The schedule of classes was quite acceptable to the trustees but several were quite concern- ed about operating costs. Trustee George. Drynan, querying the extent of the in- crease in costs arising from the extended number of classes and schools affected, said he was waiting for a report from the Finance Committee because the operating costs were not includ-| ed in the budget. These costs should be deter- mined as an increase in the budget, he said. COSTS COVERED In reply Finance Committee Chairman A. E. O'Neill said the only change was at Donevan Collegiate Institute. Teacher's salaries and operating costs would be largely covered by grants and fees. Any figures submitted at this time would merely be guesses in many cases. 'There are other expenses which concern me more.-right..now," he. said. Replied Trustee Drynan: "If the board can spend one-and-a- half hours spending $150 for trees, surely it can spend some time on this." : Trustee Rt. Rev. Msgr. Philip Coffey said he was afraid the | classes might not be enough to cover the operation of the schools. Only 50 per cent of teacher's salaries were paid by the gov- ernment grants. The rest of the money would have to come from the fees. Trustee O'Neill withdrew a motion that the program be ap- proved and adopted. "This is) the result of a long discussion. It gets thrown in the waste bas- ket,"' he said. Trustee Coffey, after sug- gesting the business administra- tor might supply tentative fig- ures, moved the matter be sub- mitted with these figures to the Advisory Vocational Committee. The motion was carried. | SCHOLARSHIP QUESTIONED A proposed scholarship to be offered by the Ukrainian Busi- ness Mens' Association receiv- ed some criticism because it was to be confined to students of this ethnic origin. The offer was made several weeks ago and referred to the principals committee for study. Committee Chairman George Roberts said his committee had decided the award was quite appropriate, He reminded the Board the Oshawa system h Trustee Margaret Shaw was one. who spoke out strongly against the existing conditions other awards on which restric- tions had been placed. of the award.

Walker OGH Wing Fifty-two years ago, when Oshawa's first hospital was of- ficially opened during a hot Au- gust afternoon, little did those in attendance think that in less than half a century Oshawa's small hospital would one day be one of the major hospitals in the province. But, when E. H. Walker, president and general manager of General Motors of Canada Limited and an honorary vice- president of the hospital board, unveils a plaque in the main lobby Wednesday afternoon, Oshawa General will in fact be- come one of the major hospitals in Ontario. é MORE THAN 6,700 General Motors people and their fam- ilies visited the company's south plant Monday as the three-day open house started. In the picture at left some of the guests line up for free doughnuts, sandwiches and milk after completing their tour of the assembly plant.

The picture at right shows Harry Grills and his wife, Alida, of RR 6, Belle- ville, who stood in line for al- most two hours to be the first of the thousands of visitors to tour the plant.

Favors To Estes Denied In Probe WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States agriculture de- partment denied Monday that it gave favored treatment to Billie Sol Estes, a Texas farmer - financier now under fraud indictment, and claimed his grain - storage operations first flourished under the former administration of President Ei- senhower. These were highlights of early testimony as the first public congressional hearings began Representative Ross Bass (Dem. Tenn.) asked Mosely if he was trying in the letter "to tell officials in Washington that there was a rotten apple in the barrel?"
