The committee's recommen- dation, which followed a meet- ing with Board of Health offi- cials, will be presented at the next lar meeting of the board, Monday, Feb. 22. Public School Superintendent Dr. C. M. Elliott told Trustees the psychologist's job would be to examine, assess and diag- nose cases referred to him by school authorities. Through his work, Dr. Elliott said, the psychologist would help channel the educational program of slow learners, sug- gest further treatment when required, meet with parents of problem students, and give therapy '"'but not of a medical er psychiatric nature." He would also help arrange the conducting of small classes for the emotionally disturbed.

Dr. Elliott suggested the hir- ing of a psychologist at a Janu- ary meeting when he read a portion of a Canadian Mental Health Association brief to the Royal Commission on Health Services which claimed five to ten per cent of school children, at a conservative estimate, show symptoms of emotional and mental! disorders. These disorders are of a suf- ficiently serious nature, the re- port stated, to require the help of specially trained personnel in addition to the classroom teacher, the school nurse, and the family doctor. At the committee meeting last night, Dr. Elliott said a city the size of Oshawa has need of several psychologists. Under the present system, | he said, students who are emo-| tionally and mentally disturbed are sent to the out-patient de- partment of Ontario Hospital, Whitby -- a process which is) slow and obviously unsatisfac-| tory. | sis on quality rather than quan- tity. Carol McGirr, Vincent Mas- sey School, said an increased complexity in the world and in education had brought an in- creased emphasis on research which only the central library could handle. The advantages of the central library, she said, was that all books are available to all chil- dren; that the child is trained Expenditure for books alone, he said, wouldn't solve the problem.

But anti-corrosion additives in salt, according to latest re- ports, are only about 25 per cent effective in reducing rust, says Fred Crome, city engin- eer.

He had been seriously ill for the past month. Mr. Munroe, who taught at McLaughlin for three years, and alsuv at O'Neill Collegiate, was much admired by the staff, said his principal, George Roberts. "He was a_ serious-minded young man with a strong sense of duty." Dr. Claude Vipond, a personal friend, said the city has lost a brilliant young teacher and a citizen keenly interested and active in public affairs. "His contribution to education was manifest in the classroom, in the Joyalty of his students and in his political committ- ment," said Dr. Vipond. "His Louis Munroe Dead At 36 LOUIS MUNROE tives." T. E. White, works superinten- dent, estimated after the meet- ing, that if anti-corrosion addi- tives were added to city salt it would cost an extra $16,812. Mr. Crome said there is quite a body of opinion that the re- sults of additives do not justify the "quite considerable" cost, $7 per ton of salt. Mr. White said this winer the city will use about 2,500 tons of coarse sait ata cost of $28,125 and 187% tons of fine salt mixed with sand to cost $1,815. Ald. Clifford Pilkey said coun- cil should explore anything that might eliminate auto rusting. The matter came to council when the department of high- ways (which does not use ad- ditives) requested the city to advise them whether they would be prepared to use anti-corro- sion additives if they are shown to be reasonably effective.

He said he would make a plea to the board for a great in- crease in books and libraries. "Tt is also a matter of equip- ping new schools," he said. "We start in a new school with empty shelves and no specific amount set aside to stock those shelves. We should consider an initial grant of considerable size when new schools are opened." A committee of four teachers who took a_ teacher-librarian training course in 'Toronto Teachers' College last year made a report to the commit-| tee. Ken Skuce, T. R.

"His fortitude during a long illness 'was admirable. His friends, personal, political and in the educational field will miss him greatly." Mr. Munroe was very active in the New Democratic Party in Oshawa. He was re-elected president of the provincial and feleral riding association last fall. He was also, in 1959, presi- dent of the Oshawa Liberal (fed- eral riding) Association. "His death has left the New Democratic Party in great sor- row," said T. D. Thomas, & long-time NDP representative in the provincial legislature. "He did a great job for us. He was very keen in his work, He was an asset to our party; he was very very broadminded and well-read The body is resting at the Armstrong Funeral Home only this evening. The body will be taken to the Horace Racine and Robert Funeral Home, 260 Bes- serer street, Ottawa, for the funeral mass and interment. Mr. Munroe was born in Ot- tawa in 1929, the son of Mrs. Jeanne and the late Alphonse Munroe. He attended St.Pat- years away. graduated from Ottawa Univer- sity in 1952. He taught at Arnprior and Cochrane before coming to Osh- awa Collegiate where he taught for three years. He then went to Maxville, Ontario as princi- pal of a 200-pupil high school. Mr. Munroe returned to Whit- by, where he taught for a year before going to McLaughlin where he has taught for the last three years. He married the former Lucille Allen in Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, Ottawa, on Dec. 29, 1956. He was a mem- ber of St. Mary's of the People Church in Oshawa. In addition to his political ac- tivities, Mr. Munroe was presi- dent of the Oshawa Branch of the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers Federation. He was also active in the Oshawa Little Theatre group.

The brochures, suggested by the board's public relations committee, would be mailed to Oshawa residents as part o@ Education Week activities. Trustee T. D. Thomas, vice- chairman of the committee, told a committee meeting last night the idea was to get the board's ainis over to the general public. He said an estimated price for 5,000 copies might be $350. Trustee William Werry said: "It's very important the board should explain what we're try- ing to do. We've had a lot of bad publicity in the past, and now we must try to improve rg relationship with the pub- ic," He advised the brochures be sent not only to parents with children of school age, but to as many residents as possible. Public School Superintendent Dr. C. M.

SOME RAN IT UP THE POLE... Yesterday, They All Went Gatherin ~ was Central Collegiate. It was a varied selection of flags that fluttered over Osh- awa yesterday -- the day of the official flag raising ceremonies in Ottawa.

For a time it didn't look as though the flag would get un- furled at all. City Council's order of flags didn't arrive until quarter of an hour before the planned ceremony.
