Hospital authorities reported his condition Sunday night to be "very good".

No of- ficial estimate of the damage has yet been obtained. With his son Douglas, Mr. Cathcart was attempting to push a hay wagon away from the flam- ing building about 4 a.m. Sunday, when his neck and hands were burned. The son was not injured in the blaze. Firemen were not called to the scene, but the Cathcart ful the blaze with water drawn from the farm well. They tried to get the cattle out of the hasnt barn, but the immense heat in the blaz- ing building rendered all rescue CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating birthdays today: Neil Gifford, Taunton; Mrs. Helen McGarry, 122 Alma street; Wayne Church, 43 Garside avenue, Brooklin; Ozzie: Keeler, 96 Nassau street; Todd Penfound, RR 4, Oshawa; Christopher How- ard, 359 Oshawa 'boulevard south.

Kurt R. Swinton, chairman of the national committee of the Canadian Conference on Educa- tion, and president of Encyclopae- dia Britannica of Canada Ltd., in asking the participants for their help said that' in depth, width, influence and after effects the 1962 conference would be unique, Mr. Swinton was chairman when the 40 participants attend- ing the seminar met for the final general session.

"So you have done very well in your community," Mr. St. John told Mr. Roberts. | PANEL MEMBERS Mr. Roberts and Mr. St. John were members of one of the small planning groups that met separately during the seminar. | Chairman of the group was Msgr. 1. Lussier, Rector of the Univer- sity of Montreal. Adult education was one of the fields that should be considered during the 1952 Canadian Confer- ence on Education, members of the group decided. The conference should recog- nize that adult education was not something separate or apart but an integral part of the total education program, it was agreed. There were so many more pos- sibilities for adult education than there were 50 years ago, one of Plans for the new Provincial park at the Third Marsh were discussed by Alfred B. Wheatley, member of the Parks Division of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests when he addressed the Annual Banquet of the Osh- awa Yacht Club Saturday eve- ning. "We will take full advantage of the potential there," he prom- ised the meeting, "'and it will be designed for the maximum bene- fit of all the people in Ontario especially those in Oshawa."

Meeting in a general session later, all 40 participants in the seminar agreed that the recom- more should be done about adult education ip Canada, be taken up in the 1962 Conference. RCCO Is Honored At Service Musical selections presented at the morning service in Simcoe Street United Church on Sunday paid tribute to the Royal Cana- dian College of Organists which this year is observing its 50th anniversary.

Six major themes for the 1962 Conference were suggested by participants in the seminar: EDUCATION AIMS The aims of education in a free society. The professional status of the independence of teachers, their qualifications, the role of teachers' organizations. The development of student po- tential. Consideration would be given to drop-outs, differences in rural and urban schools, stream- New developments in society; the effects on education of audio visual aids, family migration.

Included in this would be evening classes at schools and universities, special institutions (Banff School of Fine Arts and elasses at museums were men- education - for citizenship and leadership training. SUGGEST BRIEFING It was suggested that the themes be discussed well before the conference; that a major speaker should present each theme at the conference and that all delegates should be chosen and briefed well in advance of the conference. Delegates at the seminar de- cided that 1960 should be used to prepare studies on the major areas of Canadian education that will be considered at the Con- ference, digging as deeply as possible for information. In 1961 the process should be Yeversed and the material should be published, fed back and cir- culated as widely as possible "among the roots, grass roots and whatever is under the roots," in the words of one participant. Dr, Hilda Neatby, professor of History at the University of Sas katchewan, opposed this view. [CIRCULATE MATERIAL "What I should like to see it a wide circulation of material suitable for various groups pre senting to them |educators think Leadership should come from above and not from below," she said. "The majority of people are quite incapable of discussing the philosophy of education. The edu- cated can formulate it. what It must be given to them. 'Then they can say whether they like it or not," she said. Rev. E. C. Garvey, head of the cipal of University College, As- Dr. Neatby's views. "We have humbly got to admit that there are epople who are more educated." "Democracy does not mean pulling ourselves up by the boot straps," Rev. Garvey said. A third delegate said that home and school groups should be ask- tioned), church groups, YM and YWCA"s, the role of mass media; ed for their opinions on practi- cal aspects. Santa Is Hi eds of excited children and their tired parents waited in line Saturday morning to give their precious lists to Santa Claus. Santa was holding court in the "Winter Wonderland" set up in Eaton's Toyland. While Christmas carols blared over the Public Address system crowds of people milled through the Oshawa Shopping Centre. An elaborate electric train outlay provided endless fascination for the young boys and some of the fathers as well. Two attractive Santa's Helpers were giving out striped candy Given Warm Welcome welcomed to Oshawa by officials of the T. Eaton Co. Ltd., and other Shopping Centre executives. Santa was escorted by strutting majorettes from Miss Harvev"s School of Dancing and was sur- rounded on his float by a dozen small elves. Most of Robin Hood's Merry Men of Sherwood Forest completed thie parade. An Eaton's official commented that it was the largest crowd to ever attend Toyland in connection with a Santa Claus parade and estimated that over 5000 people were out at the Shopping Centre in the morning. leading |i "Parents would like leadership. | philosophy department and prin-|# sumption University, agreed with|% Plans Formulated For Education Conference Mgr.

GROUP CONFIDENT There would be no need for us to get together if we're all in agreement," he said. 'But, there are so many things that we agree upon that I think we all lock forward with confidence to the conference in 1962," he said. Dr. N. A. M. MaeKenzie, presi- dent of the University of British Columbia, said basic. education was one of the most important aspects of life. _ "The 1962 conference should be used for reasserting the claim about the importance of educa- tion for the whole Canadian com- munity," he said.
