S. McLaughlin Collegiaté, which has reach- F ed an astronomical figure, so id much so that the Board has instructed thé architect to chop the price down to $70,- 000 ($20,000 more than al- loted for in the budget). What alarmed 'the Board (which is not exactly un- familiar with such shocks these days) was that the lowest tender submitted last week for the work was $124,- 000 -- a far cry from $50,- 000. Monsignor Philip Coffey, of the Board, felt that pos- sibly the wrong specifica- tions had been given out for the over-all job (that originally called for such items as drainage, clearing and levélling of the land including earth removal from extensive excavations -- landscaping and a quarter-mile race track. Whatever the reason may be for thé misunderstanding, the Board will have its hands full to kéep the cost of the school at $2,475,855 (the amount approved by the Ontario Department of. Education) The Board expects to receive approximately $1,500,000 of the above $2,475,855 from the Federal government as a special vocational school grant -- the balance of the, cost will be handled by municipal debentures. MONSIGNOR COFFEY The City issued debentures in 1961 to the amount of $900,- 000 for the school -- a further $55,000 was requested for this year. The Ontario Municipal Board has approved debentures to a maximum of $1,800,000 for the project. The Board has expended approximately $908,000 to December 31, 1961, on the school, which leave a commitment of approximately $1,563,000, "YOUNG CANADA VOTES" DRAWS PRAISE The 180 members of St. Gregory's Young People's Club deserve a special plaque. Thanks to the club's June 14 pre-election political forum --Young Canada Votes"--more than 650 heard spokesmen from all four parties (including three of the four Federal candidates in Ontario riding). Canadians could avoid such political dilemmas as they now find themselves in by giving greater encouragement to this sort of pow-wow. It should It was also an achievement for such The June 14 show was a fine public service. be emulated more often. a young club. It was the only time in the campaign that all four parties in the riding had spokesmen on the same platform. The key purpose of the forum was to help young people to vote more intelligently, especially those voting for 'the first time. Perhaps the heated subjects did veer too often from the world of youth, but it was a worthwhile evening, well punctuated by. spirited debate and free cross-exchange of opinion (even if a handful of hecklers did threaten to take over once or twice). f The forum was one of the best things of its kind ever at- tempted here. The youngsters, of course, didn't achieve this success alone. There was Monsignor Paul Dwyer, of course, who donated the hall. The Oshawa Jaycees -- another am- bitious, civic-minded group -- helped considerably with moral and financial support. PETER RUDDY JOHN MUHA Three of the hardest club workers were Peter Ruddy, a 26-year-old surveyor for the Township of Markham who re- sides in Ajax; Vice-President James Bishop, 23, of Oshawa; and Past-President John Muha, 23, also of Oshawa, who was a last-minute appointee to the panel. The trio made several trips to Toronto to line up big- name panelists and, all in all, did pretty well, although John Collingwood Reade certainly left much to be desired as an impartial 'moderator. ; The executive was highly pleased with the way things went off generally -- if it presented the same type of show again, it would bar questioris from the floor as such interludes delay and detract from the general purpose of the meeting. These are only minor complaints and do not change the over-all picture -- it was one of the most spontaneous and best political pow-wows of the entire campaign in this riding. Let's hope it starts # trend, especially in the municipal electiont. $200,000 AUTO SERVICE CENTRE IS PLANNED A group of Oshawa business men have purchased the northeast corner of Stevenson's road and King street west. Personalized Contracting Services of Oshawa will con- struct a building on the site, which will be used a mode auto service centre (including auto parts and accessofiés, gasoline and oil, plus an ultra-modern car wash. Total cost of the building and development will be in the neighborhood of $200,000 (plus the cost of the land ~ believed to be in the neighborhood of $90,000). The project will be opened next Fall and operated in ac- cordance with a new merchandising plan earlier this year by Shell Oil and Handy-Andy Co. A similar centre a a has already been opened in Montreal. Others will follow in : Montreal and Metro Toronto, but the Oshawa project will be the first ¥ its kind to open in Central Ontario. qi i MOSTLY SUNNY ACROSS FIVE PROVINCES WEATHER FORECAST Sunny P Forecasts issued by the Tor- onto weather office at 5 a.m.: Synopsis: All of Ontario is in a southwesterly flow of warmer air.

Farlton TV Report Stirs -- Storm In LONDON (CP) -- An official investigating body says much of the television seen in Britain is "trivial, vapid, puerile and cheaply sensational.' It says something should be done about it. The Pilkington commission, which set, to work 15 months ago, said Wednesday that view- ers were fed up with the "sor- did, unsavory and _ repetitive programs" offered. It singled out commercial television for jmost blame. The publicly-owned BBC is do- ing a pretty good: job, the com- mission said in its 324-page re- jport. But the 13 companies in- volved in the commercial inde- | pendent network weré growing lfat on the 'excessive' profits lof an inferior service. | One cause of criticism was the amount of TV time occupied by programs produced in the United States. The report con- demned the poor quality of the |product and the values depicted \by U.S.-made shows. | It said U.S . material ac- jeounted for about 10 per cent lof the BBC's total TV output. Foreign material totalled about 14 per cent. The report recommended a 'Britain Cuts Uranium Pile | LONDON (AP)--The govern. ment announced Wednesday that it possessés so much en- riched uranium from its nuclear weapons program that it has de- cided to cut production. Viscount Hailsham, minister for science, told the House of Lords: "Supplies are fully adequate for the current nuclear deter- rent policy, which. has not changed." In answer to a question, he said output will be reduced at Britain -- third channel, to be operated by the BBC, and said work on es- tablishing it should begin as soon as possible. There now are two channels, one BBC and one commercial. Both cover almost all of Britain except for a few areas in England and the Scot- tish Highlands. The report fell like a bomb- shell on the entertainment an financial worlds and_ rated streamer headlines in evening newspapers. if By the end of the day 5,500,- 000 ($16,665,000) was wiped off the market value of shares in the leading commercial televi- sion companies. The 1l-man committee headed by wealthy glass manufacturer Sir Harry Pilkington in its con- demnation of commercial TV suggested that its present struc- ture should be dismantled. WILL CAUSE HOWL The committee's theory about how .this should be done will! cause the greatest howl among the pro-commercial lobby and backbench Conservatives who already have charged that the plan would amount to "'nation- alization" of private TV. The report is not binding on the government but will be the cornerstone of a white paper on the subject in the House of Com- mons within the next. few months. | The committee studied broad- ;casting in both. Canada and the United States during the 15 months it took to prepare its report. Judging from the report, the group was not impressed with developments on the far side of the Atlantic. It said: "Experience in the United was that competition resulted in a concentration on those kinds of programs which produced the largest audiences--in imita- tion rather than diversity : Convicted Spy Makes Escape NEW YORK (AP)--Dr. Rob- lert A. Soblén, 62, has myste- riously vanished on the eve of his imprisonment for life as a wartime Soviet spy. The FBI hunted him as a fu- gitive today, but his lawyer said he may never be found alive because he is suffering from lukemia. Federal Judge William B. Herlands, who sentenced the gravely ill Dr. Soblen to life in prison a year ago, gave him un- til mid-afternoon today to sur- render, or else forfeit. his $100,- 000 bail. Herlands declared: "It seems to me that Soblen used his skill at secrecy and subterfuge as a Russian spy. Now he is using the same skill as a fugitive from justice." Dr, Soblen vanished a few hours after the U.S, Supreme Court's refusal to review his 1961 conviction, thus dooming him to end his life behind bars. Dr. Soblen was arrested Nov. 29, 1960, as a member of a war- time Soviet spy ring headed by his brother, Jack Soble, 57, im- prisoned for a séven-year term in 1957 for espionage. The broth- ers spell their last names dif- ferently. Industry May Get Tax Help TORONTO (CP) -- The pos- sibility of giving provincial tax concessions to some. Ontario industries hit by devaluation is being considered, Energy Re- sources Minister Macaulay says, The minister, speaking at a National Productivity Council workshop: Wedfiesday, was re- ferring to companies that im- port raw materials for manu-! facture and subsequent export. Apart from the effect on these importers, the pegging of the Canadian dollar at 92% cents should have a 'good effect" on Canada's export trade, said Mr. Maculay. He later told reporters: "We feel it's better to take one-third of the tax from one company and have three others spring up." A committee has been set up under the Ontario Economic Council to.probe ways of in- creasing exports and decreasing imports in this province, Mr. Macaulay said.
