$35,000 grantfpr microfilm Weston youth A wealth of Spanish colonial history stored in Guatemalan archives will become available to scholars in many fields when a project of McMaster's Mills Memorial Library is com- pleted. Financed by a grant of $35,000 newly received from the Donner Canadian Foundation, the task of microfilming the Archives of Guatemala will soon be undertaken by a team of Canadian technicians and scholars in Guatemala City. This week, two members of the Mills Library staff, Mr. Arthur Lawrence, and Mr. Paul gharrett, left for Guatemala to organize the project so that microfilming can begin. Mr. Lawrence, business manager for the library, will make final arrangements tor personnel and working space, while Mr. Sharrett, a microfilm specialist, will train a group of Guatemalan technicians in the methods to be followed. They are taking microfilming equipment with them. Mr. Sharrett, a graduate of Waterloo Lutheran University, will return to Canada to continue his education at library school in the fall. Instituted by McMaster University Librarian W.B. Ready and Professor John Browning, the project will make available to Canadian universities vast quantities of Spanish regime historical resource materials ranging from literature and religion through geography, military matters, sociology, economics and an- thropology. Demonstration Young People's Theatre started its six-week youth drama program this week. Classes will be five days a week, from 10:00 em wozoo Fm., " the Toronto Workshop Production: Theatre, 12 Alexander Street, Toronto, the term porary home of that program.

Anthropoligists, for example, would be able to examine the proceedings of the Supreme Tribunal of Guatemala, which is preserved from 1600 on, where they would find rulings on matters as disparate as the playing cards that might be used in the colony, the wines which might have been imported, the punishments given to soldiers guilty of mistmating Indians, and the taxes that were to be levied. Young theatre They would be able to turn to the papers of the Inquisition and see what offences it prosecuted and what punishments it ad- ministered. They would be able to study the documents of the University of San Carlos, founded in 1680. Available, too, would be information regarding the colony's imports, exports and agriculture from a very early date. The present country of Guatemala is only a fraction of the size of the colony established by the Spaniards throughout Central America in the 17th century. The General Archive of Central America, located in Guatemala’s capital, has remained the repository of a major part of Spanish colonial records, and scholars must Journey to Guatemala City to study and do research on aspects of Central American colonial "It is impossible to overestimate the importance ot this archive," said Mr. Ready, in commenting on the work now made possible by the Donner Canadian Foundation. "The tragedy has been that this immense wealth of information is slowly disappearing forever as moth and mould devour the documents which Guatemala, through lack of funds, can neither photograph nor preserve." McMaster’s intention, he said, is to make these records an international resource to be shared with all scholars. Microfilm copies of the material will be made available to the universities of Canada and, by means of xerography, printed copies can be quickly reproduced. The grant will be used to pay the costs of this work, while scholars connected with the project will continue to give their time freely for the sake of making this learning available. Close to 200 students were auditioned for the course, and those chosen are: Debbie Jarvis, Benny Guarnaccla, Karen Waterman, Martha Tan. cock, Holly Stevenson, Michael Shnmata, Patricia de la Rosa, Mira Friedlander, Liz Wlddesa, sun Bolton and Brice' "It is primary sources that Canada lacks above all in the field of university research," Mr. Ready said, "and this Sauna.

Latin-American studies are growing at McMaster. Dr. Harold Wood, Professor of Geography, has formed the Ontario Cooperative Program for Latin- American and Caribbean Studies, of which McMaster, Guelph, Waterloo and Queen's universities are members, and others are interested. As a member of the Part-American Institute of Geography and History, Dr. Wood has organized two seminars in Latin-American Regional Planning in which many Latin-American countries participated.

Professor Brewing, of the Romance Languages department, has twice visited the Guatemalan Archives in connection with a biography he is writing and is well acquainted with them. Mr. Ready himself recently visited Guatemala to discuss with government authorities there the feasibility of carrying out the microfilming project.

Dr. Frank Johnston, a citizen member of North York's planning board, stated in a letter received by council Monday that many of these deaths could have been avoided if no pedestrian were allowed to cross any road except at designated crossing areas, and if the speed limit on roads were reduced to a reasonable rate.
