In total, the $620 million in provincial funding will build 63 new schools across Ontario. "We are a growth board and we don‘t have the space," said Marklew. "All of my schools will be 110% by 1996." _ Marklew said the time had come for trustees to meet with "our MPP‘s and find out what the rationale is." Superintendent of Business Services Jerry Jenkins said the board had been hoping to get at least one new school to play catchâ€"up. "We‘re disappointed to say the least," said Jenkins. "We‘ll continue to have to bus people and where possible, add portables."

Those changes, in part, have resulted in increased economic growth in the Third World, which experienced a 6% increase in its economy last year compared to 2% in developed countries. "The growth of markets in the Third World is really quite remarkâ€" able and at least part of that because they have been forced by the west, as a condition of further aid, to accept market discipline."

The changing conditions have also paved the way for more foreign investment. Trade with Third World counâ€" tries now constitutes about 20% of all trade between developed and developing countries. Still, governmental involvement is essential in the development of the Third World because without proper infrastructure such as roads and utilities there can be no ecoâ€" nomic growth. "China is choking in its own proâ€" ductivity because of the lack of infrastructure to support its growth. Most infrastructure has to come from public aid but Third World governments normally don‘t have the tax dollars to do it."

Grades 1 to 3 will be accommodated in an adjaâ€" cent public school rented by the Separate Board but "both schools will be at capacity, every inch will be used." The new school is expected to be completed by 1996. gP 8 635 Fourth Line, Oakville, 338â€"2077 Featuring 7 Day Fall Caribbean Cruises, at 2 for 1 Rates aboard the Crown, Regal and Star Princess, also featuring Heather and Bob‘s Anniversary 12 Day Cruise, Feb 17/95 from Hawaii and Tahiti.
