ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3rd, 1967 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES (Authorized as Second Class mail, Post Office Department, Ott,&wU) Publsh4d every Thursday at the office 01 publcatie MainStreet, Pishone 109, urono, incario EStablshed in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester- Editor andi Manager Good Sense fand tLotteries ResidentLi of New York State apparcntly have a great deal. more good sense (about thrce times asý much to be pre- cîse) an state poliicians gîve them' credit for liaving.' Latest reports show that the sale of st at elottery 'tick- ets is only about one-fourtis what the stabe had forecast. One upstate region, for example, was allotteti 1,200,00 tickets and sold but 100,000. Thus folks in New -York are bearing out wliat people in New I-ampýshire have indicated. This is that far more persons have a sense or morality and thrift that the "easy moncy" adVocatcs believeti. Thus the New Hlampshire school systeras have been getting well under haifwhat they were promised as a resuit of the state lottery. In both New York and New Hampshire the talk is now about new taxes de- spite the lotteries. A look around'the world shouki be enough to con-, vince anyone that, in general, lotteries are associaýtedi with poverty and inefficient economic systems, not with wealth, progress, and economie stability. We trust that -such other states as might be temptcd to follow New Hampshire's and New York's disappointilpg path wiIl think twice before do- ing so. Is It Pressure?~ *Prime Minister Robarts, along with at icasit threc otlher Provincial Prime Ministers, lias asked that the Feti- erlMedicars, Plan be changed so that private comypanies providing medical insurance be i;tcluded. 11Tliis is in contradiction to Provincial legislation in, Onbario wherc the province conduets hospitalization insur- ance solely on their own and with no, private comp;%nies being includcd in the plan. The province lias always looked .10 this plan as well as the operation of hydro as Most suc- cese*ful plans and schemes. The request by the Prime Minister of Ontario would appear to mean one of two things. Eithier the hospitaliza- tîoîi plan, is not turning out as-expccted andi becoming too. coStLyý for the province or that pressures from Insurance Com-"panles .ai associatle interests. are too great for -the. proý(vincial leader. If govcrnm-ents are to dabble into the affairâ, of ahl th1e people then they shoulti do so on a non-profit basis. ýPrivatE5 companies do flot operate under sucli conditions taxpayer does not want to feathcr-bed private conipaýnies andi cannot be expected Id 'do so.

Preparation for the opening of thenw lee of applieti arts and technology inOshawa are poedn close to sehedule. Wete weather and a brick-layers' strike have delaycd' contruction aI the temporary site but, classes are stili expeclted 10o begin in September. The latest report on progrcss made by Durham-Col- lege offîcials (the name lias recently been ch.anged andi sfhortened from 'Ontario-Du'ham College) is gencrally en- couraging. The class'rooms, staff and administration build- ings will .be ready for occupancy in August., Fourteen mas- ters have been engaged to teacli aI the college. The col- lege reports they.are "outstanding individuals with valuable experience in the business and industrial world" assuring the besî instruction available to students. There are, however, two areas ini which shades of grayness exist in -the initial stages of this new institution which can mean so mch '10 Ontario and Durham counies, The first is indicated in a collegenews release which M4ates preparation for opening of the college is undler control "except that financial negotiations for the supply of watcr by the Oshiawa Public Utilities Commission have flot been completed." . Significance to thîs aspect as a scrious situation was given bythe lad that the board of control found il neces- sary Id close the meeting at which it was being discusseýd to thse pubic. No mater how hackneyed the expression lias become, "education is everybody's business" -ajti a coslly one, particularly at the local level. mus if theclosed-, meeting discussion in any way concerns whether the prov- ince or thie local taxpayer shoulti assume additional fin ane- ing burdens, now and in the future, it is hoped bhe, provin- TRUOPINiG TH4ECO« ATTRACTS ,09 Ninety minutes of skirling pipes and precision marching attracted about 22,000 people to Toronto Varsity Arena on the Dominion Day Trooping the Color - one af the biggest crowds -the-,stands have seen since the Grey Cupi gaines were held there more than 10 years ago.
