According to the education minister, in 1961 the Ontario Department of Education is pay- ing municipal school boards a $5 per pupil grant for every stu- dent in the province. In 1962 his {department will be paying $12 {per pupil. In 1963, the provin- cial government will be paying grants of $20 per pupil in public schools, $30 per pupil for sec- ondary school academic stu- dents and $40 per pupil for secondary school technical students. SEES NO RELIEF Mr. Roberts warned that no particular relief would be forth- coming in the cost of education. He noted that 70,000 more chil- dren were registered in schools across the province when the current term opened in Septem- ber than when the last term closed at the end of June. He Unit 42 To The mammoth drumhead serv- ice and parade of Unit 42 of the Canadian Corps will be held this Saturday. The parade will move out of Alexandra Park at 2:30 p.m. and proceed down Simcoe street past the Armories, where the salute will be taken by Lt.-Col, James Warnica, - officer com- manding the Ontario Regiment. The parade will continue on to Memorial Park where the im- pressive drumhead service will take place with colorful corps units from various parts of the province participating. The units will form a semi- circle around the bandshell with color squads in the forefront. The drumhead service will con- clude with prayer by Major J. A Rankin of the Salvation Army. The parade will then proceed north on Centre street to the headquarters of Unit 42 of the Canadian Corps.

"Education," Mr. Robarts said, "is a lamination of co- operation of three levels of gov- ernment, municipal, provincial and federal. All three govern- ments work towards a common goal -- educating our youth." According to the education minister, it is the parents who provide the funds to pay for education and he urged all of them to be "sure to insure that they get their money's worth by ensuring their children take: ad- vantage of the educational facili- ties provided for them." Mentioning the importance of an education, Mr. Robarts said the days seem to be fading when young people with no education can go out and get work. He said in Ontario, the department of education has taken advan- tage of a federal government offer to pay 75 per cent of any monies spent by the provinces for new vocational schools. EXPANDING PROGRAM He said in Ontario a program of expanded vocational and bus- iness training is now underway. The department, he said, now has 125 projects underway, about one-half of them being in thc form of business and voca- tional training provided for com- munities which had not been able to offer this type of educa- tion to students previously. "What we are trying to 'do in the project is to broaden the opportunities for education to enable students to leave high school with a vocational train- ing that will enable them to get jobs when they leave secondary school," the education minister said. He said an element of choice will be provided to students under the vocational training project so that students may make their choice at the latest possible time for which type of education they will take advant- age of. AUSPICIOUS OCCASION Darlington Township Reeve Is Opened By Minister Garnet B. Rickard said the opening of Courtice High School, by the minister of education, marks "an auspicious occasion in Darlington Township." He said he did not think there has ever been such an array of im- portant people in Darlington Township at one time before and he did not think there has ever been so many in a single audience in the township before the school's official opening. The township, Reeve Rickard said, has enjoyed greater growth in 1960 than any other municipality in the United Counties and so far in 1961 the growth of -Darlington has been even greater than in 1960, He said . the population in Darlington Township now totals 9,959 and before the end of the year, he expects it will exceed 10,000. "It won't be long before there will be a need to open ad- ditional high school facilities in the township," Reeve Rickard said. DREAM COME TRUE DDHS Board Building Com- mittee Chairman Clare E. Allin described the official opening of Courtice High School as being "like a dream come true." He mentioned the months of plan- ning and work involved to bring about the erection of the new school. Others who took part in the official opening included L. M. Johnston, the department of education's resident high sch inspector; Dr. R. P. Vivian, Durham County MP; Dr, J. T. McCreery, of Port Hope, DDHS Board chairman; Harry Bart- leit, Eastwood Construction, general contractors for the school; L. G. Baker, of Pent. land and Baker, architects for the school; J. E. Speers, school principal and Alex Carruthers, MLA for Durham, who intro- duced Education Minister Robarts. The 35-voice school club pro- vided the musical entertain- ment, Trophies were presented to the school for competition by the various firms who engaged in the construction of Courtice High School. A meeting of the Oshawa Ad- visory Board of the Canadian | National Institute for the Blind was held last week, under the chairmanship of Rev, Dr. George Telford. Of special interest was the re- port of Walter Simmons, district | field secretary for the CNIB and blind himself. Mr. Simmons |stated that there are 44 blind persons registered in the Osh- awa area. Two Oshawa children are now attending the Ontario School for the Blind in Brant- ford, where they will not only receive the same education as in a sighted school, but will also learn to be self-sufficient, in spite of their handicap. Visits and other services have been provided recently for 14 blind persons in the district. These -services included the talking - book service, home teaching, provision of glasses and other' supplies, and eye service and operations. In this regard, Mr. Simmons told of the many services avail- able for the blind through the CNIB. For the prevention of blindness cases, maintenance, eye examinations, glasses or ar tificial eyes, operations and hos- pitalization are provided, when reauired. For the registered blind, so- teaching, salesroom service, the library with both Braille and i CNIB Assists 44 Area Blind taiking books, employment, con- cessions, allowances ,recreation, residence, and general services are available. Special mention was made of the new CNIB Lake Joseph Ad- justment Training Centre in Muskoka ,which has been built largely from special donations received for this purpose, and each year services some 500 newly blind persons adjusting to their handicap, blind children with their parents, and blind adults with their escorts. The 19 residences and craft schools across Canada were also described, wiht special refer- ence to Clarkewood in Toronto, which houses 125 blind men and women, and is available for peo- ple of this district. Other reports read were the report of Miss Grace McCon- nell, blind delegate from the Oshawa Humoresque Club for the Blind to the CCB Conven- tion last May in Brantford, and the report of the Lions Club Sight Conservation Committee, given by R. Lambert, telling of the excellent work done by the Lions Club. The fall activities for the Humoresque Club, and the Blind Bowling Club have now started. Arrangements were also made for the annual meeting of the Oshawa Advisory Board of the CNIB to be held at the YWCA Nov. 16.
