He is in grade 11 in a suburban high school. He was brought up in the suburbs, in good schools, in a sound, middle class family. "Bill has friends--some old and some new. He could be one of thousands of high school students in Toronto. But Bill is also a head, someone that smokes marijuana; he _ has even tried LSD. How different ei merece although he often is not sure of what he wants. He complains of a credibility gap between teachers and students. He says -the teachers ridicule him and his friends because of their long hair and unusual clothes. This has not always been the case. Why is it happening now? "Bill became dissatisfied with the 'system' several months ago. Probably because right now.

This group of friends and their interests become quite separate from the old group and their interests. Bill has let his hair grow, grows a beard and maybe even wear: beads. He feels the 'system's' disapproval. "Now he 'turns on' during the occasional noon-hour, in the park, maybe even in his own home or at a shopping plaza. "As he becomes entrenched in the sub-culture, he finds the outside world and its values even more meaningless to him. "Why is this happening now? Why is it happening to Bill?

Robert Richardson, deputy commissioner of works, told board of control and, he said the amount did not include h installation. He also said in his opinion Oshawa motorists were not ob- serving the section of the High- way Traffic Act which makes it obligatory for them to pull to one side when emergency ve- hicles sound their sirens. Mayor Ernest Marks said he would bring this to the notice of the police commission for ac- tion. Mr. Richardson had been di- rected to report back to the board following receipt of a letter from the Oshtwa_ Fire- fighters' Association asking the ing equipment over a three-year period which would provide a central control system for traf-) fic signals, along certain routes worked out with the fire depart- ment, and some would be work-| ing by the end of the year. GREEN LIGHTS Operated from the main fire all, the system would provide} a green light along the selected route north, south, east or west through the city, including the downtown area. Of the 54 signal intersections in the city, 36 would be under control of the} new system. i He said he had in the past) discussed the problem with late Fire Chief H. R. Hobbs and the police chief, and he had sug- gested the emergericy vehicles should approach the lights in ithe same way as a yield sign {and go through yith proper cau-! tion. manslaughter if they took such a risk, and the city should not ask them to take such a risk. He said he had a letter from the firefighters' association criti- cizing him for his statement that emergency vehicles should not go through the city at 80 miles an hour.
