The institution will be called Trent University. It is to start classes in September, 1964, with an enrolment of some 100 stu- dents. Within 10 years, enrol- ment is expected to increase to 1,000. A press release said the new university will work out of Pe- terborough Board of Education buildings for its first two or three years. In the interim, permanent buildings will go up on a site north of the city don- ated to the university. The city has already given $100,000 toward establishment of the university and this 'will be supplemented by provincial assistance,' Mr. Robarts said, without indicating the extent of provincial grants.

The: site for this development will be immediately west of the Ajax Industrial Plaza, the com- pany's big development of last year which houses six indus- tries. SOD TURNING Gerald A. Mobbs, managing director of Slough Estates in Canada and England, will of- ficially launch the development at a ground-breaking ceremony on the site tomorrow. As the High Sheriff of the County of Buckinghamshire, Mr. Mobbs had to obtain the special per- mission of the Privy Council to leave England. He has indicated that, during his stay in Canada, he will cast an industrial eye on the Toronto and Ajax area with intent to "make plans for the future'.

Fire Destroys Plant In Galt GALT, Ont. (CP) -- Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the Kannan Paint and Varnish Company plant on Water Street during the night with: an esti- mated loss of $50,000. A fire hall in the centre of the three-storey building prevented flames from spreading to a sec- ondhand store and pool room. A series of explosions blew out sections of the brick walls and broke hydro wires. C. Ready, manager of the paint company, said their most serious loss was of formulae and government specifications. They had many orders ready for shipment but delivery was prevented by the Teamsters strike. The company was plan- ning to move its plant equip- ment to nearby Glenmorris in three weeks. At the height of the blaze, guests at the nearby Albion month last year. Hotel were told to move out, power shovel.

Police said the accident was a head-on collision of such force that both engines were flung about 50 feet from the scene. The truck's load of lumber was scattered all over the highway and up a side road. The truck burned for about three ihours, destroying the cab and the trailer. The car did not catch fire, Lands and Forests fire crew from Englehart, Ont., about 1 miles away, attended under Bud Colquhoun and Roger Hack. There were no ' witnesses despite a series of fights and scuffles on the floor in front of the platform, prolonged booing and shouted interruptions. It was the wildest political meeting in Canada in many years. Some 100 demonstrators chanting '"'We want jobs" and "Ban, ban, ban the bomb" erowded the centre aisle of the forum and set up a continuous din which made it impossible at times for Mr, Diefenbaker to be heard. Progressive Conserv ative speak above the racket, a fight would break out in a new place, "I came here to make a speech and I'm going to make it," the prime minister declared. At first, the rafter - jamming crowd appeared to be about evenly split between booers and applauders. CHEERS TAKE OVER But as Mr. Diefenbaker car- ried on, the cheers became party organizers tried to push. the demonstrators back and out the exit. This didn't work. The demonstrators pushed back, WORRY ABOUT ELDERLY Party workers said they be- came anxious about elderly per- sons sitting in floor seats among the crowd of at least 8,000. All 7,060 seats were filled and hun- dreds were standing. Some sat on the floor around the plat- form. Conservative supporters sev- eral times formed a_ flying wedge--at one point led by a 300-pound man at the arrow- point--which charged into the demonstrators. The placard-waving demon- strators, including at least one Fists, Words Fly more pronounced. The prime minister received three tremen- dous cheers and a tiger when he concluded, his face bathed in sweat. Some persons rushed to the platform to congratulate Mr. Diefenbaker. At no time did the demonstrators attempt to gain the platform or to molest the prime minister. Mr, Diefenbaker was escorted from the foitum by eight police- men who earlier had made no attempt to halt the fights and scuffles on the arena floor. The escort was to enable Mr. Diefenbaker to get through the crowd of well - wishers, not to fight off the demonstrators who identified themselves as mem- bers of the British Columbia Federation of Unemployed and B.C. Federation of Labor. WILL CONTINUE STAND There were loud cheers when Mr. Diefenbaker said that in the future, as in the past, he will continue, '"'whatever the at- titude of those who deny free speech," to stand for the right to be heard. "Now you can see what would happen if the leader of these people was the head of the gov- ernment," he said.
