The follow- ing story further explains this aspect of youth, his school, and the law.) By JOHN GAULT Juvenile delinquency is a reflection of parental atti- tudes and home environ- ment, William Smith, atten- dance counsellor (truant officer) in Oshawa's public school system, says. He classifies modern de- linquents into three cate- gories. In an interview he outlined his theories on how the parents or the home, or both contribute to the child's attitudes toward law and so- ciety. The largest percentage of delinquents he classes under heading "normal". A juve- nile delinquent is a person under the age of 16 who breaks provisions of the Criminal Coqge, provincial ministration building. Mem- well, vice-chairman; Edward Werry, David J.

Drynan lashed out Thursday afternoon at advocates of thrift in education. Mr. Drynan, closing out seven years as a member, and two years as chairman at the in- augural of the new board and the new chairman, Trustee Ed- ward A. Bassett, called for a halt to exaggerated concern over the "high cost of education." : "The choice", he said, "is be- tween penny pinching public penury in a rie s yoy xr pl , or shrewd, sensible p= for a sound satisfac- tory system." He told the board education's high cost can alone make us truly democratic. "Education is our only means of lifting ourselves up by our bootstraps. It is the only escape from poverty, disease and crime and let's not pretend we don't have too much of this right here in Oshawa." PERIOD OF CHANGE Mr. Drynan said education was in a period of rapid change and Ontario and Canada would or decay. They in the field of edu- cation, People who always use term, "the high cost of educa- middle course," he said, "and this makes it impossible for the committee to function properly in the glare of public opinion. There should be more privacy at meetings so trustees can take extreme views without being dubbed controversial." 107 MEETINGS Referring to the year's work, Mr. Drynan, said there had been a total of 107 meetings of the board, or committees of the board. There were 10 regular and 30 special meetings of the board as a whole; 26 meetings each of the Building and Plan- ning and 'Finance Committees; and 15 meetings of the Advisory Vocational Committee. It aver- aged, he said, 2.8 meetings a week. He said he hoped the new Davies-Brickell system for school boards would make fewer meetings possible. Mr. Drynan said he acted for the board as a whole in tender- ing thanks to Mayor Lyman Gif- ford and city council for their co-operation and advice in past years. He said both he and Mayor Gifford, .in their 1964 inaugural remarks, had called for a closer liaison between the board and council. The steps taken in this direction, he said, has proven highly successful land 'indicated strongly the de- sirability of some regular meet- ings." "The events of the past year," he said, "show the value to both bodies of regular liaison and of emergency meetings as soon as the board, as it often must, changes its mind about a project." CREATIVE YEAR In summary, Mr. Drynan said it had been a successful and creative year in every way. There were obvious achieve- ments, he said, such as de- cisions regarding the type and locale of new schools, additions to schools, acquisition of sites, revision of salary schedules and preparations for streamlining board meetings and_pro- ceedures. There were also, he said, many achievements which, at first sight, might appear mis- fortunes. "Many difficulties and imper- fections in our system which have long been hidden have become clear and imminent problems," he said. 'It would be a serious error for anyone to suppose that this happened without the intent and effort by, in every case, at least a few Trustees." In closing, he reminded board members that some problems will go away, while others will not. "This board has bared and defined some. important prob- lems for the new administration to solve . .. and with . this basis already laid I am sure the new board will be successful." Nichol Not Re-Elected Robert Nichol, Oshawa Sep- arate School Board representa- tive on the Board of Education for the past two years, was not re-appointed to the position last | night. | The board moved into commit- tee to discuss the appointment of two representatives after Trustee Mrs. Winona Clarke moved that Mr. Nichol be re- appointed. Her motion was sec- onded by Trustee Ivan Wallace. Following the committee meeting, which the press is per- mitted to attend but not report, Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Wallace withdrew their motion. 'The matter was thoroughly discussed and the wishes of the board were carried out," Wil- liam O'Neill, board chairman, told The Times after the meet- ing. mond were the only two men nominated as _ representatives after the committee session was held. Both were elected unani- mously. Trustee Ernest Marks excused |himself from the discussion and voting on the appointments as he is Mr. Nichol's brother-in- law. But before retiring he urged trustees to make the appoint- ments on the merits of the in- dividuals to avoid any suspicion of "outside influence". The appointments were also discussed by the board at its caucus meeting last Sunday. tion", he said, should be given a washing.

Mr. Drynan added that he suspected many who cried out for thrift in education, did so tongue-in-cheek. "They- piously preach penury for the mass of. the citizens" he said, "and then rush off to Toronto, to Florida or the Carib- bean for fun and games. Is it too much to expect that a few cents of the tax dollar be spent on education, sport recreation, hobbies and cultural outlets for those of us who stay at home in Oshawa." DEFENDS BOARD Turning to review the past two years, Mr. Drynan defended the board against charges of "bickering." "There were a few moments of high feeling, of exuberance, of tension," he said, "but there were also many hours of quiet discussion. There were some plots laid which failed by facts and events; constructive plans and developed." presented Mr. Drynan said much of the} controversy on the board over the last four years was legiti- mately founded on differences in educational and social view- points.

PLANE FIRE Oshawa Firefighters took 50 minutes to extinguish an air- plane fire at the Oshawa Air- port Wednesday. The plane, a fire department spokesman said today, was in the process of be- jing scrapped, and went ablaze as a result of acetylene torch cutting. Tenders on two new separate schools will be opened Jan. 18, Oshawa Separate School Board trustees decided Thursday night. They extended the opening date from Jan. 14 to permit business administrator Frank Shine and his assistant Daniel Riordan to attend an Ontario school business officials con- vention in Ottawa on Jan. 15, 16 and 17. One trustee also favored a change in the tender date because he will be out of the city on business Jan, 14. The two new schools will be built, on Pacific avenue and Wil- son road north. Both schools jan all-purpose room and are |planned for opening in Septem- ber of this year. The board heard from its solicitor, Russell Murphy, con- cerning negotiations for prop- lerty east of the Civic Auditor- 'ium, which the board is expro- priating for a third school site. The sites committee was au- thorized to inspect an 8.11 acre site west of the auditorium as a possible school site.

Finance Plan Is Expanded An expansion of the electric wiring finance plan was ap- proved this week by Public Util- ities Commissioners. The Commission decided to in- clude electric home heating con- versions in the plan and also in- crease the maximum amount of the loan to home-owners to $1,000 from $500. "There is a big market now for converting homes to electric heating," said W. H. Gibbie, secretary - treasurer. '"'We can see the maket develop as the conversion possibility becomes better known." Mr. Gibbie said increasing the loan limit to $1,000 would not |be risking the Commission's money as loans will be made against the property.

"I hope we, too, will be granted the wisdom and strength to meet the challenge of providing education in this rapidly expanding community," said Mr. O'Neill, He said the retiring board carried out its duties in a spirit of charity, justice and integrity. A member of the board for four years, Mr. O'Neill placed ninth in last month's board election. He has been chairman of the property committee dur- ing the past two years and has \chairman.

Oshawa City Council got a close look at the latest de- velopments in planning for the multi-million dollar, limited ac- cess, Creek Valley traffic route Thursday night. If the city goes along with plans as proposed by Toronto consultants Dames. and Smith Limited, it could cost taxpayers in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 over the next seven years. The Department of Highways' share would. be more than $7,000,000. Nick Damas reviewed several features of the proposed traffic artery, which would run from Wentworth to Bond street, for the incoming council. STUDY DRAWINGS Council got a look at draw- ings showing proposed construc- tion schedules and a suggested financing schedule spanning the next seven years. With the Department of High- ways anxious to get an idea of Oshawa's five-year program in this direction, council approved -- in committee -- a connecting link construction program, with financing, to 1970. streets. The city fathers also gave Damas and Smith the go-ahead on a functional study for pro- jection of the valley artery north of Bond street. Right now, the route can be called a connecting link. But council is hoping this designa- tion is changed to expressway. LEGISLATION IN OFFING New "expressway legislation' is in the offing which would raise subsidies to municipalities for property acquisition from City Council Studies Creek Traffic Route 33 1-3 per cent to 75 per cent, according to Mr. Damas. Construction subsidies for both (connecting links and ex- pressways) are understood to be the same: 75 per cent. Mr. Damas emphasized last night the schedule of work and ancing submitted is strictly & proposal. "We were bringing council up to date," he said after the three- hour meeting. "This will be our last interim report (of the func- tional study). We would like to get our results in booklet form for distribution. "Tt is then up to council what steps are taken, and how fast. We have laid out a suggested schedule for both construction and financing to 1972."

He said the four-year-old traf- fic study was necessary to de- velop basic concepts -- as op- posed to the practical aspects such as location and cost. Last night, half the south wall window-space of the council chamber was covered with a map of the proposed valley route, a little over a mile in length. The route sticks closely to Oshawa Creek, now straighten- ed, between King and Gibb streets. It will be a limited access road, A proposed clover- leaf at Highway 401 allows both access and exit. COLLECTOR ROADS A feature here is the possibil- ity of one-way collector roads (as distinct from service roads). These would parallel Highway 401 and would allow access to the north-south route, said Mr. Damas, Other exits and entrances have been determined by "de- sire lines' figured from the DS study of 1961. The route, as proposed by the consultants, would run under both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways, and Highway 401, over Gibb street and under John, King and Bond streets. "'We favor a depressed road," said Mr. Damas, "because it avoids a 'cut-up' landscape and lessens noise."

INNER CONFLICT While the normal delinquent is in conflict with his society, the emotionally - disturbed de- linquent is in conflict with him- self, Mr. Smith says. In each case, however, the same result occurs, because society is ad- versely affected. The economic conditions in the home bear little relation- ship to the acts and attitudes of the emotionally-disturbed child. Mr. Smith says this type of offence is consistent through all layers of social strata. He, the child, is the victim of one of the two extremes of parental discipline or a constant bickering by the marriage part- ners, or of an incomplete assess- ment of what is socially correct. When the child begins school, his feelings of inferiority or resentment or unfounded It begin to manifest themselves, Mr. Smith says, and these man- ifestations are quickly picked up by fellow students. They, in turn may and do reject him for simple, but wrong reasons, such as personal habits, race, or religion. The child, faced with new opposition, takes out his feel- ings in open aggression, Mr. Smith said, and thus becomes delinquent.

He was referring to the re- sults of an experiment by the department of public welfare in cé-operation with the City of Hamilton. The Hamilton welfare depart- ment set aside 100 cases for special long-term scrutiny by two workers with reduced case- loads and another 100 were dis- tributed among other welfare workers for normal handling for comparison. Of the 100 special study cases, 56 were closed at the end of six months while only 21 of the control cases, receiving usual treatment, had been closed. "IT certainly hope to do this in Oshawa once we get the physical space to put the staff," said Mr. Chesebrough. He said the main cost to the city would be one extra staff member es the province would supervise the ae and pay for the work, province would probably send one or two men to the city to assist with the project but at present there is no room in the welfare department to put them. He also said extra room would be required for interviews. In Hamilton, the savings as a result of cases going off assist- ance was $14,500 in the study group and $4,700 in the control group. "The long-term program én- abled welfare workers to treat or eliminate real and imagined medical disorders; to win the person's confidence over a per- iod of time; to present and carry through a practical pro- gram of action," said the de- partment of welfare.

The photograph and tens of thousands others taken by navy reconnaissance jets in Laos and Communist - controlled portions of South Viet Nam are part of a massive intelligence program that could be a prelude to ex- panding: the Viet Nam war.
