She Osha Sines Published by Canadian Newspapérs Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Wednesday, August 19, 1959 Durham School Problem Needs Speedy Solution Durham District High School Board igs apparently no nearer a solution of the problem of finding high school accommodation for its growing high school population. It is likely that its members, frustrated by the bickering among the eight municipal councils which epntrol the area, might carry out a recent threat to resign "That would be a pity, but it would give the member councils food for thought. It .would certainly give council members a great deal of extra work and worry. It points up the for some long-range planning, and possibly some re-grouping of the high school area, TLe coundils a e undoubtedly agreed on one thing---the urgent need for more high schools. They ha that neither Oshaw can accommodate Both municipalities culty making provi need ve any are son having for their Main difficulty palities to agree on the site for at least one new high school. The original proposal of the board was to erect a 400-pupil school at Orono. Newcastle, Bowmanville and Darlington vetoed this, and it was then suggested that three new schools be built This did not meet with the approval of another section, and Bowmanville and Darlington suggested a split in the high school district. A special committee to study the problem was up by the United Counties council, and it generally agreed that its findings would be accepted by the councils The committee, in efféct, agreed that two boards be set up, but turned down & suggestion that Darlington and Bow- manville set up. another high school board.

While the word has a strong element of action in. #---one is free to do certain things--it also has an element of re- lease. Thus one is free from certain things. And it is that particular element which contributes most to the different meanings in different parts of the world. It is also the cause of much unrealistic thinking on the part of North Americans, A man whose physical needs are well looked after, who has a conifortable home, all the gadgets of a materialistic eivilization, and a full belly, can think of freedom in fairly abstract terms---if he thinks about it at all. His freedom of choice is broad, and his desires for release from some burden, worry or threat. may go no further than a wish for less work, more money and more leisure.

The board is again making proposals, and the councils are again promptly applying vetoes. There is undoubtedly some justifica- tion for the councils to act as they do, but one important thing is being for gotten, Time is running out. We are getting closer to another school: year, and the problem which was apparent at this time last year is worsening. It must not be forgotten that the high school board's original program. called for the completion of the first of the new igh schools "at - Orono, for the 'beginning of this, the 1959 fall term It was a 400-pupil school.

The councils appoint them as men who can be trusted to make decisions beneficial to the communities they represent Recent actions would make it appear that the representatives cannot be trusted this far. Council vetoes make it obvious that representatives" actions will not be ratified unless such action benefits. one ' particular community. It is an impossible situatior The schools are needed. Obviously economical reasons. they must be strategically placed in the fastest grow- ing areas. We would suggest that a study be made, and a planned program relative to population needs be mitted to a general meeting of all eight municipal® councils, where could be thrasheu out Such a meeting would bring every thing out in. the open, and would let the district fhigh school board where it stands Freedom talk in pretty loftly dom and democracy But the man who lives in a hovel, who is constantly hungry, whose family can slip at any time from hunger. to starvation, and who can entertain no hope of bettering his condition, can think of freedom: 'im. just one simple sense. That is the freedom from want. His battle for survival is too stern, too immediate to permit him to think much beyond the provision of the next few meals. Freedom to say what he thinks, to vote for a government of his pérsonal choice, to worship according to his con- science can have real meaning for him only after he has gained freedom from want. Until then he will gladly trade his ballet for even the promise of one square meal a day for himself and his family. There is not much use trying to sell democracy to impoverished nations 'until we understand what freedom means to them.

These liabilities include school truction costs of more than $86 million and highway guarantees of more than $66 million. And British Columbia has a heavier schedule of taxation than any other Canadian province What Mr. Bennett has put into one pocket he has taken out of the other The B.C. government's method may be acceptable public financing.

But the fireworks seem to be getting' more expensive each year. Other Editor's Views RURAL PEOPLE IN CONTROL (Calgary Albertan) Discrimination against city voters is not confined to Canada. Many states of the U.S, have it. Georgia, for instance provides for representation in the state legislature by counties, and most of the rural counties have as little as 10 or even 5 per cent of the population of the population of the big urban counties Thus the small rural population runs the state. Only the state legislature can change the system, and naturally the over-represented rural people are not going to vote away their own tremend- ous political advantage.

The official guides point out to tourists all the interesting in- animate objects on the Hill, such as the painting of our most emi- nent immigrant from Scotland Prime Minister Sir John A Macdonald) the carved stone head of Caleery"s most famed ranch owner (the Duke of Wind- sor), the room where so much is seid by so many to so few (the House of Commons).

It might be possible to get all the public to co-operate in 'an anti-polltion campaign, They might be acreesble fo paying the extra cost of filters for their car exhausts and to have their furnaces put in proper shape. But the fact is that there aren't the people who could do the job, particularly the latter. In all Canada there are very few combustion engineers. There isn't a course at any university. And to get qualified men to de- vise machine and to patrol the field is almost impossible.
