Lovell, Bank Has Trouble Enforcing Plans By DON HANRIGHT OTTAWA (CP) -- When the Bank of Canada speaks, not everyone jumps. Former governor James E. Coyne -- apparently concerned about inflation--made separate attempts during the 1956 econo mic boom in Canada to get de- partment stores and instalment finance companies to hold the line on consumer credit. Obviously they didn't like the idea because no agreement was) reached. This was revealed for the first time Thursday when the present bank governor, Louis Ras minsky, was questioned by the royal commission on banking and finance on the use of "moral suasion" by the central bank. The term is used to describe the efforts of the Bank of Can ada, in cases where it is un low a certain course in the pub lic interest. USED SUASION 'TOO Mr. Rasminsky said he, too, has used moral suasion since he became governor of the bank 18 months ago. "I have been satisfied with the results," he said. But he declined to reveal the timing, nature of the persua sion, or the institutions involved. | Mr. Rasminsky did not name |Mr. Coyne--who resigned as governor public dispute with the govern ment--in reviewing the record of success for moral suasion. But he said that in 1956 "an approach was made by the gov ernor of the bank" (Mr. Coyne) to instalment finance companies to "urge" them to hold their accounts receivable at the then existing limits for the next 10 able to draw on any statutory power to impose its will, to per suade various institutions to fol months. | "No agreement was reached," isaid Mr. Rasminsky.

Canadian Killed In Texas Crash SHEFFIELD, Tex. (AP) -- A Canadian was killed and two other persons were injured, one critically, when their automobile went out of control and crashed near this southwest Texas town Thursday. Tue Texas department of pub- lic saftey identified the dead man as Bruce D. Watson, 21, of Cornwall, Ont., a clerk for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

SET OBJECTIVES Local 841 members were seek- ing recognition of the local as their bargaining agent. Local 35 members were seeking a new working contract giving them higher wages. A city bylaw, passed under Section 89 of the Ontario Labor Relations Act, excludes Local $41 members from the provi- sions of the act. The talks took place at a ho- tel here, with W. J.

Stroud, retiring chairman of the Oshawa Board of Education, dropped a few hints to the new board: Watch that budget, stick to policy-mak- ing and leave details to offic- ials, take a new look at buying policies. Education in 1962 cost the tax payer $3,229,941 he said. Mr. Stroud's swan song, at the closing meeting of the 1962 board Thursday, bristled with statistics and carried a warn- ing note. "You should have a_ good close look at the budget," Mr. Stroud -told the trustees, "'and keep the cost of education from getting out of hand. This can happen," he warned. SLICE TO TAXES LARGER He said the cost of education in Oshawa has risen not only in dollars but also in percent- ages. In 1961 education took 39.6 per cent of all taxes, In 1962 it was 40.8 percent, Mr. Stroud said. He said the gross cost in 1962 was $4,615,425. Deducted from this amout can be $1,385,484 in provincial grants. The total de- benture debt for education was $6,884,400 Dec. 31, 1962.

He said he was most anxious to see the board take a new look at their buying pol- icies and methods. statement, such as business has to go by. Mr. Stroud also expressed con- cern about the many meetings a trustee has to attend. He said in the first five months of his term as chairman he attended a total of 122 meetings. "That is too many," he said. "I believe the board should set more policy and leave the administration to the officials." Sometimes it is easier to deal with everything individually, rather than lay down a policy, Mr. Stroud said, but all trustees are busy and don't always have the time. Mr. Stroud ends a two-year term as a trustee on the board. He said he retired from the board because of health reas- ons and other commitments. His year-end report revealed that a total of $1,338,711 was spent on secondary education. Elementary schools took $2, 910,474. On vocational training }a total of $366,240 was spent. ENROLMENT INCREASED Last September enrollment in Oshawa schools has increased considerably, Mr. Stroud reveal- ed, with 3,413 attending secon- dary schools in 1962, against 3,050 in 1961. Enrollment in pub- lic Schools rose to 9,766 in 1962 from 9,565 in 1961. He said the numbers of teachers, over the same period, rose only from 334 to 338.
