SURVEYED BY COLLEGE Practical Courses To Be Offered By JAMES COUPER of The Times Staff Dr. Gordon E. Willey is building a college. Not with his hands, of course, but with his mind. The Ontario-Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology which is now being construct- ed on 75 acres of land at Sim- coe Street North and Fifth Con- cession is only a shallow re- ley, its president (principal), sees for the future. Physically the college will consist of 16 portables for: the 250 students expected this fall. Dr. Willey anticipates the school will have 3,000 students by 1970. A start has been made on nearly all of the portables al- though most are merely wood- en skeletons. Dr. Willey ex- pects a start will be made on them all by July 1 and they flection of the college Dr. Wil- Further Talks Set On Hospital Wing Hospital authorities in Osh- awa will meet this week with Toronto consultants to assure their plans for a proposed $11,400,000 annex which will in- corporate all the latest fea- tures within the means of the hospital budget. The proposed addition will provide for a new, enlarged school of nursing, quarters for the board of health, an addi- Former Regiment Commander Dies The commanding officer of the Ontario Regiment (Tank), when it returned from over- seas in 1945, Brigadier Robert L. Purves, DSO, CD, died yes- terday at Newmarket. Brig. Purves was well known in the Oshawa area by many of the men who served with the regi- ment.

The funeral service will be held at 1.30 p.m., June 23, at the Thompson Funeral Home, Aurora. tional 136 beds and larger laun- dry facilities. "The latest sketch plans are substantially similar to the old ones except some departments have been rearranged quite a bit," said Ian Mitchell, assis- tant hospital: administrator. will be erected by Aug. 1. So far he is on schedule and main- tains the school will be ready for opening by Sept. 11. But it isn't the physical sur- roundings which concern Dr. Willey. After viewing several downtown sites he is quite happy with the portables. EMPHASIS Even when the permanent building is built in 1969 all he wants is "a functional building} with enough space and equip- ment to let us teach'. Dr. Wil- ley is putting the emphasis on "courses and teachers who will use the most modern equip- ment and pedagogical tech- niques". Dr. Willey enters education directly from industry, having worked for Ontario Research Foundation, Norman Slater Co., Algoma Steel and Union Carbide. Dr. Willey does not try to hide the fact that his experi- ence in industry is affecting his choice of courses for the new college. INCREASES Out-patient use of the x-ray, lab, and emergency depart- ments is considerably up for the first five months of 1967 as compared to the same time a year ago," said Mr. Mitchell. The x-ray department is up 20 per cent, lab, 32 per cent and emergency, 13 per cent. "This is probably happening in every Ontario hospital,'"' said Mr. Mitchell. "There is.a grow- ing trend to increase the use of these departments." In-patients using the operat- ing rooms is also up seven per cent for the first five months of 1967 as compared to the first five months of 1966. Emergen- cy operations have also in- creased 14 per cent. "Staffing the operating room is difficult but particularly in the summer when there is a growing list of people requiring surgical attention," said Mr. Mitchell. | "It is only logical that I start off with what I know most about," he said in a recent in- terview. He does not expect courses in the 'applied arts' part of the "college of applied arts and technology" to start for at least another two years. PRACTICAL COURSE Like himself, the courses Dr.) Willey has planned are prac- tical. He promises no courses will be started unless he is cer- tain there will be jobs for every student who graduates. A survey of the needs of local industries has "been started and should be completed before opening. | Dr. Willey wants the courses to be practical in other ways, too. He believes 'transferring knowledge from a full head to) an empty one is no good". As an example of how he will avoid this he said, "'we will teach metallurgical stu- - STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL THEME FOR DINNER The strawberries were delicious last night at a "strawberry festival" din- ner at the Masonic Temple honoring more.than 20 past district deputits of Ontario District and the incum- bent, Wilfred E.

County Engineer William Twelvetrees advised county council Tuesday the design of the bridge needs only On- tario Department of Highways approval before construction proceeds. The bridge was originally designed as a. 40-foot span concrete barrel arch but provisions was made in the tender to allow bids based on alternate steel . structure design. Armco Drainage and Metal Products submitted a price of $114,870 for the construc- tion of a steel plate structure; while the lowest price on a concrete structure received was $129,809. The bridge will be built 40 feet above the creek bed at Lot 28, Concession 3-4. The engineer also reported that arrangements have been made with Whitby and Pick- ering Townships to detour traffic on the County Road while the Squires and Pardon bridges are under construct- ion this summer. rave 1000 At School Fun Fair Boost Centennial Project (two| More than 1,000 people at-| fish pond for one or more of the| there were 391 property damage A.|500 prizes.

The school went well over its financial target for two glass cabinets that will feature 1867 and 1967 items. Teachers and pupils mingled at concession and game booths last night in centennial cos- tumes for the fair that was organized by teachers last Easter. "Tye never seen children work so keenly for anything," said Mrs. Dagmar Marschke, a men.ber of the teachers' work committee. The school staff and pupils attended Mon- day classes in 1867 costumes to generate enthusiasm for the fair and children spattered posters throughout the school to advertise the event. On the upper and lower ter- races of Lovell school on Cen- tre Street, there were games for everyone from a 'Smarty Shoot" stand to bingo. Teach- ers and children participated in 'a fashion show of modern and | century old costumes, "About 500 bags of popcorn made and bagged in the school, were sold in about 20 minutes of the fair's opening," said Mrs. Marschke. 'There . were hundreds of balloons all over," she said. School children square danced to music provided by the school, they entered three-| legged races, wheelbarrow rac- es and tried their luck at the WHITBY TOWNSHIP BRIDGE | 100 Fewer Mishaps Noted During Five-Month Period There has been an across the; board drop in Oshawa traffic accidents for the first five months of 1967 as compared with the same period last year. Although the comparison of statistics revealed an encourag- ing trend, Inspector Nor man Smyth of the traffic division of the city police department said it was not a big enough drop to be accounted for by any one factor. Only one person has been killed on Oshawa's streets this year compared with two for the first five months of 1966. By mid - August. of last year six persons had died in traffic accidents. Personal injury accidents from January to May are down from 131 to 102, The number of persons injured in these acci- dents is down from 181 to 137. There have been only 333 pro- perty damage accidents for the five cents. The home economics class and parents of E. A. Lovell pupils sponsored a bake sale. Other games were: a penny toss, horseshoes, cards and baseball. Pupils featured a cen- tennial ride in an old-fashioned covered wagon.

Credit Union Wins Action WHITBY (Staff) -- 'I don't think he would have signed) when he was sober, but he} must be held responsible for} what he has done," said Judge least partly attributed to the bad jweather at that time of year, |police said, Inspector Smyth said in spite jo the drop in accidents this year there has been no drop in the number of traffic charg- es laid. He suggests that the number of charges laid thus far this year is probably up from those of last year. He said one factor in the decline in accidents may be the fact that police "are bear ing down a little more on traf- fic offences.;; He added that the fact that the courts are being a little less lenient may be an- other reason. He said these may be factors causing drivers to be "more cautious, not taking so much for granted." Inspector Smyth said he was disturbed about the number of minor accidents taking place at shopping plazas in Oshawa. The Oshawa Shopping Centre is the worst location in Oshawa for traffic accidents with no less than 25 having occurred there this year. He said they are minor ac- cidents which are not necessary and which "waste everybody's time." He called them the re- sult of carelessness and inat- tention. One of Inspector Smyth's "pet peeves" concerns the number of people who "haven't got the decency" to report accidents or to stop and check for damage. |He said, 'Its your duty to stop, 'get out, and check for damage." He added that he did not believe drivers who claim that they did not realize they were involved in an accident, "even a light bump and you know it. | Traffic-Safety Record ' Tops Cities If statistics mean anything In Grouping ulation is only 13,000 greater A.
