By Less Births TORONTO (CP) -- A decline in Ontario's birth rate may give the province's expanding school system a breathing spell, says Dr. Cicely Watson of the On- tario Institute for Studies in Ed- ucation. Dr. Watson said, Thursday that if the decline of the last few years is indicative of a trend, it could have dramatic implications for elementary schools in 1970 and for univer- sities and community colleges in 1984, Dr. Watson, a member of the institute's planning division, said that if the results of a pilot study are confirmed by a full- scale study she is to launch soon, the province's elementary schools may need from 300 to 500 fewer classrooms and pro portionately fewer teachers. The effect of the decline would subsequently be felt in secondary schools, universities and community colleges. Dr. Watson said that although the province's birth rate has been declining slowly since 1960, the most surprising aspect of the pilot study was that the great increase in pupils fore- cast for 1964 and 1965 as a re- sult of the "baby boom" after the Second World War has not materialized. f "We've had 20-odd years of pressure on schools because of numbers. This would give us al § breathing space to provide re- forms badly needed but diffi-| & cult to achieve because of the! pressure of numbers. | First RCAF Aid To Zambia Arrives - 24 Hours Tardy LUSAKA (AP) -- The first RCAF piane to join in Zambia's Hercules C-130 transport air- loratt. oil airlift arrived here Thurs-| Said Howey, of: Beamsville,| day--24 hours late near Hamilton, Ont.: The delay was not caused by| "We are hoping the situation the Canadians, however, " isorts itself out within the next/| It was understood here that fer a ly a we can really little organization so far has) Two other RCAF C-130s are been made at the Leopoldville, |due to arrive in The Congo in Congo, end of the "flying pipe-|the next two days to join the line" from. where the Cana. | airlift which has been made é jnecessary by neighboring dians are operating. |Rhodesia's blocking of normal Sqdn.

Mr. Owen, a second - year "economics student at the Uni- versity of Western Ontario, was speaking in support of a gov ernment motion that withdrew recognition of the "coercive authority that the Canadian government exerts over the in- dividual citizen." The motion, which was de- feated, stated that '"'the individ ual's conscience is the sole au- thority over his actions."

In a year-end statement, they forecasi another boom year for the province, but sald the rate of growth likely will not be as high as in 1965 because of the developing shortage of skilled workers, Meanwhile, William Cran- ston, chairman of the Ontario Economic Council, and David Archer, president of the On- tario Federation of Labor, is- sued a joint statement calling on 'employers not to retire skilled workers at age 65. They said there could be no quicker, more effective way of upgrading and expanding the provincial work force than to gloom. Output is expected to be about nine per cent higher than in 1964. Employment and income levels reached record levels during the year. Employment in construction and durables manufacturing-- the province's two primary ex- pansion leaders--was up 10.4 and 8.4 per cent respectively. |FEW IDLE For the province as a whole unemployment during 1965 was 2.6 per cent of the labor force-- the lowest since 1956, At the year's end. construc- tion activity was running about 20 per cent higher in value than in. 1964, And signs of ex- pansion were still visible.
