FIVE GROUP § Original discussions were held by officials from five organiza- tions within the city -- city coun- cil, Oshawa General Hospital, board of education, separate school board and Public Utilities Commission.

City clerk Roy Barrand said today he could make no comment about any- thing that occurred at last night' committee meeting. for the Ontario department of transport driver's test. This was disclosed in a report from the OML which was dis- cussed at last night's board of jeducation meeting. | "J would have thought it would |have been 100 per cent," said | board chairman Stanley E, Lov- jell. | "So would I," agreed George |Roberts, superintendent of sec- | ondary schools, "but apparently some of them need more actual driving experience." | The board approved an expen- iditure to the OML of $5,100 for \the first of three driver-educa- jtion courses this year. Another |course is planned for this sum- | mer and the third during the fall | term. | Mr. Roberts also reported that the OML has increased its cost to the students by $5 to $25 "and we are now registering students for the summer course on that' basis." He said boys who take the course would receive almost that much rebate on their first-year insurance premium as a result of taking the course. The report, submitted to the board by Frederick C. Nash, co- ordinator of the driver-education course, indicated that 138 stu- dents enrolled for the first course and 136 completed it. The over-all average of class- room tests and final examina- tion was 71 per cent with a 69 per cent over-all average for in-car instruction. The report states that several students were enrolled against their will by their parents, Eight per cent of the students enrolled in the course will not receive the dilpomas, while a similar num- board of education, separate school board, and Public Utill- ties Commission.

A letter to Ross Backus, board |administrator, from R. C. Car- |roll, manager of the consulting firm, explained the charges are based on time spent by himself at $23 an hour; W. H. Sanders, a former manager of the com- puter applications of the plan- ning department, Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission of On- \tario, at $21 an hour; and E. M. Elliott, a former computer analyst with the Manitoba government, at $18 an hour. The first stage of the study is expected to determine which of the organizations, if any, should work further toward a common data processing facility; what |jobs are candidates for mechan- ization and what sequence these jobs be converted to machines; and costs, benefits and disad- vantages of a mechanization pro gram.

Mr. Nash reported that of the 68 pupils rated by the in-the-car instructors. as being ready for the department of transport test, 20 have tried it and have been successful on their first try. "Some difficulty was expe- rienced becaus pupils found it inconvenint to kp Friday and Saturday in-th-car appoint- ments," the report said. "This resulted in a wide variation of pupils behind-the-wheel time to- ward the end of the course, but much of this was corrected dur- ing the Easter vacation," Department Backs Trips The Ontario department of education is offering an incense tive to school boards across the province which may enable stu- dents to make field trips to various parts of the country during next year's celebration of 100 years of Confederation. Oshawa board of education last night received a letter from the department which informed that the board may include for grant purposes the attendance of pupils on such field trips on eschool days provided the trip is school or school-board sponsor- ed and is supervised by suitable staff provided by the board. This information came from H. E, Elborn, assistant deputy minister of education. He wrote that it is expected a number of a the ap- proval of boards rustees and as part of the schol program, will visit certain historical sites, centennial projects, Ottaw and Expo 67 in Montreal next year as part of Canada's cen- tennial celebration. from pollution to respect of law enforcement Jack, Mann, manager of the Oshawa chamber and Gordon Riehl, a past president, who was elected one of 15 Ontario direc- tars, are attending the conven- tion "An item of particular inter- est,' said a chamber official, 'is the proposal of the Ottawa Transportation Commission.
