[" \u2018a Property transfers swing up In both number and sale prices Westmount real estate transfers jumped in June with 41 transfers representing $1,583,600 in city valuation, taking place compared with 30 in May and 35 in June last year.A high number of sales involving considerations, however, brought the number fully listed transfers down to 13, one less than May and well below last June's mark of 21.Among the 28 transfers that were not fully listed were four declarations, one donation, 10 sales for $1 and considerations and 13 sales involving various amounts of money and considerations.City valuation for those properties not fully listed was $1,044,950.The 13 fully listed transfers were valued at $538,650 and sold for $563,500, giving sale prices a 4.6 percent margin over city valuation.Last month, last year Last month the valuation was 2.4 percent higher than the sale prices and last June valuation was 11.5 percent higher.The sudden rise in sales involving money and considerations accounted for almost one-third of the total valuation transferred with $469,900 worth of Continued on page 2 Today's World \u201cI enjoy golf, but I don't let it interfere with my life.If 1 don't make par on the first hole E just quit worrying about it and go shopping.\u201d \u2014 ©.® > o Di o SD: A + A = = © \u2014 So = mÉ \u20ac DL 53 S = - = 3 2 = 9 = eu Q 3 T > \u2014 > > œ E S \u2014 \u2014 = o => 2 © D \u2014 D = = © Swell swill Various city departments are as usual bolstered with extra help to make up for regular staff vacations Last Friday, a student: looking type assigned to a garbage detail wasn't quick enough for the driver of one of the big, white Heil trucks which compress and haul away Westmount\u2019's refuse.The truck was seen to drive off leaving the keen and eager young worker behind.His higher education or his probable relatively affluent background, or a combination of both, led him to do what comes naturally to him but which might not have occurred to a regular garbologist.He hailed a passing cab.And startled both the hackie and passersby with a hearty: \u2018Follow that garbage truck!\u201d BILL 28 ENDORSED Bill 28, unifying school boards on the Island of Montreal, was endorsed by the Westmount School Board in a special meeting held last night.Chairman Dr.Elton Pounder said that the local board had some reservations and recommendations.They suggested that elections should be by universal suffrage\u2014persons over 18, Canadian citizens, etc.\u2014and that officers should be elected and not provincially appointed.(See editorial on page 4.)

The PAPSB is out of line again THERE is something Neanderthal about the Provincial Association of Protestant School Boards\u2019 approach to Quebec\u2019s overdue reform of educational structures of the province.The PAPSB is talking too much to lawyers and not enough to people and perhaps, even, its own member boards.Else they would not be rushing to test in the courts the constitutionality of Bills 27 and 28.They would, rather, be rallying around the progressive features of these acts, showing some eagerness to see that they work.The PAPSB cannot escape suspicion that it is betraying jealousy of its established base in the myraid of school boards left behind as anachronisms in regionalization throughout the province and centralization in Montreal.It could even be charged with being overly concerned with that likewise anachronistic educational term, \u201cProtestant;\u201d a term long largely meaningless and, in any event, giving no recognition to all those better embraced by the definition \u201c\u2018non-Roman Catholic.\u201d \u201cProtection of constitutional rights\u2019 is a high-sounding battle cry, but it is hollow in the present-day context of near- universal educational opportunity, of overwhelming reliance on the central provincial exchequer for financing of it\u2014and of so much other social legislation of which education, in the final analysis, is just another form.We do not believe there is any groundswell among ordinary people of this province, urban or rural, for maintenance of divisionary forms of control over education.Rather, there is a mounting and incessant demand for the the best and most efficient system as well as checks on spiralling costs.If this means reduction of numbers of school boards and of duplication of efforts, particularly if due to religious or language fences, the PAPSB is going to find itself lacking in support for its obstructionism.There is another danger in this readiness to press for \u2018\u2018rights,\u201d when the real issues are power and money: our soon-to-be close partners in the future education of all young Quebeckers, whether French, English, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Jewish or any and all other shades, are going to be wondering just how wholeheartedly \u201cProtestants\u201d and Anglos are prepared to bury the past and get on with the future.In Westmount we have been hard-bent on getting more and more bilingual, even outright French immersion, teaching of our children.If unification speeds up the process, there will be a lot of happy dissidents here from the throwback attitude of the PAPSB.The Westmount School Board, itself likely to disappear in unification, quite rightly rapped the association for appearing to speak negatively for the local commissioners in this matter once before, and it is to be hoped that they will do sO again.You Say EEE aa a No slur intended upon the Library Sir: Let me thank you for your announcement of the revival of the Westmount Historical Association in your issue of June 17.The article, based on an interview with me, contains however several statements which have disturbed the board of the Westmount Library.I am sorry if what I said gave Hon.C.M.Drury Says.Scientific planning for future In and earlier article which appeared in this column entitled \u201c2001,\u201d 1 discussed the growing problem of over-population and concluded by suggesting that the government should begin focusing on it with renewed vigor.Now, from no less an authority that the chairman of the science council, Dr.G.M.Solandt, comes the idea of establishing an institute which will do just that.He calls it \u201cfutures Canada,\u201d and he suggests that it \u201cconduct studies, research and critical analysis of the future, as a Canadian contribution to the search for solutions to global problems.The institute would study the present mechanisms in our society, define future problems, outline alternative solutions and try to outline actions that should be taken today, tomorrow or within a few years in order to achieve defined objectives in the more distant future.\u201d Wide-range Dr.Solandt envisages that Futures Canada will be staffed by professionals representing a wide range of disciplines so that no interest group or groups can predominate.For to be useful, any institute for studies of the future cannot have any sacred cows, nor indeed any vested interest in maintaining the status quo.While he is careful to point out that the Science Council could usefully undertake preparatory studies for the establishment of such an institute, he does not think that the council ought to operate it.However, Dr.Solandt anticipates that science and 07000 0 0020020, EC your reporter quite a wrong impression.I did not mean to imply any negligence in regard to the care of our records.Several unusual circumstances seem to have occurred within a comparatively short time of each other, which had a bearing on this: From the society's side the death of its president, Dr.Harvie, and the deep involvement of its other officers in family and social service work; and from the library\u2019s side the change of administration, and complete reorganizing of its building, due to necessary expansion.The location of our historical material naturally had to be changed.The fact that it was there to be of service to the school \u201cOld Westmount Club\u201d shows that it had been guarded and cared for by the library staff through thick and thin.These circumstances also accounted for the long inactivity of the Historical Association.Far from having had a \u201c\u2018turbulant past,\u201d the association has had periods of concentrated activity, ut with great co-operation in its work by others, (not the least by The Examiner.) In our new revival we are seeking to be financially independent, charging a membership fee of $2 a year.We look forward to the continuance of our happy relations with the library, without which neither its function nor ours would be complete.We also hope for continued cooperation from The Examiner.I would certainly be the last technology would have an important role in the institute\u2019s functions.The exact role for science and technology which he foresees would be to devise appropriate methods for seeking an understanding of how our present society works and how its evolution can be controlled so that it can be made viable for the future.Specifically, the computerized techniques of analysing and developing models of economic and social systems will open up new possibilities of identifying what he refers to as the \u2018\u201cimportant variables\u201d of human society.Too futuristic?If so, consider the \u201cworld game\u201d which is currently being experimented with at Southern Illinois University.Conceived and developed by Buckminster Fuller, a central computer stores in its memory bank an inventory of world resources, which the competing players allocate to the world\u2019s population.A player wins by providing the most happiness and satisfaction to humanity through the optimum allocation.Change needed There is no doubt that a radical change of attitudes is necessary if this kind of scientific planning for the future is to be undertaken with the required degree of seriousness.However, I feel that simply by proposing such revolutionary techniques, we cannot help but realize the dimensions of the problems which mankind is likely to encounter if we continue on our present course.000080 %0 00% 8, ota te 0000 T0000 ta Te te ete!

You Say.Continued from page 4 material could and does originate from thousands of sources\u2014 branches, divisions, sections of each department and agency in Ottawa to say nothing of regional offices.We could never hope to make an accurate assessment of the quantity and nature of materials forwarded to weeklies.Regarding the question of rinting materials free, we would ike to point out that this and the other questions we have asked arose from a request from the weekly publishers themselves that these matters be studied.This request came at the Special Senate Committee on Mass Media hearing for weekly newspapers attended by a national representation of publishers in February 1970.As you probably know, Information Canada has a mandate to try to make government information systems more efficient and more effective.By reducing unnecessary, wasteful expenditure while increasing the use of government materials in weeklies, we hope to accomplish more, Some government news is important for your reading audience and news is provided and printed free.In other cases government advertising in weeklies to permit repeat exposure and to create a stronger impact is important.Perhaps by trying to make our distribution system more efficient while also requesting advertising rate cards and tear sheets, we have confused our purpose.We hope it is now clearer and that you will be able to help us so we in turn can help taxpayers, your readers and you.(Mrs.) Nicola Barry, Research and Evaluation, Planning Branch, Information Canada, 171 Slater street, OTTAWA.(Editor's Note: Mrs.Barry has misread our editorial note\u2014we indicated we are co-operating and mentioned that in the first three days we had accumulated over two inches of government material received in the mail.The pile is now somewhat larger (and this is the quiet season!) aiid nti TEXT OF BISHOP'S STATEMENT The following statement was issued this week from the office of the chairman of the executive committee of the Corporation of Bishop's University, Alex K.Paterson: After several months of rumors, uncertainty and confusion as to the future of Bishop's University, the situation for the immediate future has now been clarified.The Champlain CEGEP has asked permission to use the teaching personnel and facilities of Bishop\u2019s University for the purpose of operating an and will be shipped to her as requested tomorrow, minus items valuable to us for reference such as Hansards, DBS daily and weekly bulletins, a 130-page summary of the Competition Act, ete.(Mrs.Barry and no one else in her new government complex has answered our complaint regarding the questionnaire accompanying her request, which clearly betrayed the bureaucratic idea that media publish material \u2018\u2019for\u2019\u2019 the source which sends it.Our purpose is to publish information \u2018\u2018for\u2019\u2019 our readers, \u2018\u2018from\u2019* all sorts of sources, including government.And until Information Canada indicates it is working for the people and not for the myriad of empires in government, we will suspect its purpose and motives.(We regard press releases and documents as a necessary means of communication with government, and no editor should object to sifting them for matters of interest and concern to his particualar readership.What every editor should object to most vociferously is yet another layer of bureaucracy interposed between him and his sources, specially if it proposes to be a further screen through which news of government must sift.(Information Canada was conceived by the present government, not requested by the media.We are happy to help it prove it can have a useful purpose, but the burden of proof will lie in its future perfromance as well as its immediate indication of its reason for being.) English-speaking CEGEP in the Townships.The Bishop's executive committee has authorized the principal to enter into negotiations with the director of the Champlain CEGEP in order to facilitate the operation of the CEGEP for the coming year.In 1969, Bishop's University agreed as did McGill University and Sir George Williams University to help the Government and offer a CEGEP equivalent program until the fall of 1973.It was understood from the outset that none of the universities would ultimately operate a CEGEP.It was, therefore, common knowledge that Bishop's University would revert to teaching university students only, once the government had established its CEGEP corporation.In April 1971 the government created the Champlain CEGEP and Bishop's University was made aware of this through the press.Awaited government Bishop\u2019s University entered into discussions at committee levels with individuals representing the Champlain CEGEP, but no firm arrangements were made or could be made until the government announced whether it intended to change the original arrangement made with Bishop's University in 1969, or even if the money to operate a collegial program would form part of Bishop\u2019s budget as in previous years.As there was no information forthcoming from the department, the chancellor of Bishop's University requested an interview with the minister of education which resulted in a meeting between the principal and the chairman of the executive committee and two senior officers of the ministry of education in Quebec City on June 23 It was made clear at that meeting that the government had no intention of having any university operate a CEGEP, nor had it planned to impose a CEGEP on Bishop\u2019s University.The government hoped, however, The Westmount that Bishop's could accommodate the Champlain CEGEP for its initial year of operation.While the government did not object to Bishop's operating a CEGEP on its own in accordance with the 1969 arrangement, the students would have to be charged fees as the government grant would be insufficient to cover the costs of tuition.In these circumstances, the university decided that it had a duty to provide and would provide the necessary facilities for one year in order that the government grants made to the university and the Champlain CEGEP would be sufficient to provide free CEGEP education equivalent to the collegial education being offered elsewhere in the province.Minister's assurances Bishop's University intends, with or without the CEGEP, to continue providing university education for those in the Townships and elsewhere.The minister of education has given the university his assurance that it is the firm intention of the Department of Education to continue its financial support for post-collegiate education for at least five years, during which time the university has agreed to present its plans for the longer term.After passing through a period of uncertainty as to its status and position in the educational system, Bishop's University will now be able to get on with its primary concern, being the education of university students.The principal and corporation look forward to the continuing active support of our alumni, faculty and students and community at large in accomplishing our goals.Additional statement The following additional statement, specifically to The Examiner, was included in a letter from Mr.Paterson: In your editorial of June 24 you criticized the university for announcing that some of its students were being transferred to the Champlain College through a letter announcing changes in room assignments and without Examiner,» - Thursday, July 15, 1971 - 5 consultation with the students.The university regrets that this letter contained the statement regarding the Champlain CEGEP, particularly in view of the fact that no decision had been reached by the university in this regard at the time the letter was written.It is true that a decision has now been taken as explained above, to enter into negotiations to lease facilities to the Champlain CEGEP.The students will continue to be taught by Bishop\u2019s professors reporting to a Bishop's administration.You stated furthermore that \u201clast year's Bishop's freshmen are bound to regard their unassented relegation to untried Champlain as some form of demotion and rejection.\u201d It is hard to see why anyone would have this feeling as the CEGEP program has been introduced throughout the province and whether a student attends the CEGEP to be operated from Lennoxville or any other CEGEP, he is now obliged to go through the CEGEP academic stream before entering university.This is the system brought into being by the department of education and not by Bishop's or any other university.In conclusion, therefore, the several generations of West- mounters who have been associated with Bishop's University will, we hope, rather than be saddened as suggested by you, be proud to learn that their university is fulfilling and intends to continue to fulfil its role in education at the university level.We are confident that our students will continue to benefit from the unique education that is provided at Bishop's University.Stripped A 1968 Buick Wildcat, stolen sometime Saturday or Sunday from the Alexis Nihon Plaza parking garage, was \u2018recovered\u2019 Sunday by the Long Sault detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police on a remote logging road outside Cornwall.The vehicle had been stripped and battered.It was owned by an employee in the plaza.Only AIRCANADA®) has Non-Stops and 747s to VANCOUVER DC8 Non-Stop at 9.30 a.m.Monday through Friday 747s Daily Service at 5.30 p.m.ZL EE NE EE NEN ERR \u2018XEN BAA 6 -

At least Stratford expects the applicant to list details of colleges, music schools, teachers and last\u2014but not least\u2014\u2018\u2018List major repertoire and indicate selection you would like to study.\u201d The above brings to mind one of the years I went to Vancouver to cover the International Music Festival.They also had \u201cmasterclasses\u201d given at the University of British Columbia by the artists in the Festival Quartet.They were engaged to give a series of chamber music concerts and William Primrose was the violist.Certainly a top and world famous artist, he played years ago with the WHS H&S offers parents way to relate to kids With many parents of teenagers worried and baffled by the psychedelic, drug-tripping, counter-culture of their children, the question is often asked by parents: how they can participate more in the lives of their youngsters?In Westmount, one method is through the Westmount High Home and School association.A recent news release describes the function of the organization: \u201cto encourage communication and understanding between the school staff, the Westmount School Board, parents and students.\u201d It goes on to say that the association arranges meetings each year at the school, one of which is a \u2018Meet the Teacher\u201d night.The principal, vice-principals and two teacher representatives attend executive meetings of the association and a member of the executive attends monthly meetings of the Westmount School Board.\u201cA necessary function is supplied by the association in that it maintains a liaison with the Home and School associations of the two elementary schools, Roslyn and Westmount Park, and also with Weredale House and the Schoo! Committee,\u201d says the release.The association has supplied volunteer French teachers to newcomers to Quebec who have difficulty with French.It has helped set up clubs in Westmount High, supplying advisors when necessary, and has made insurance available at low rates.It has helped to arrange seminars on drug education and family life, has organized fund- raising for proficiency prizes and scholarships and created a fine arts committee which has started a band boosters club to_encourage the school band.It hopes to organize a similar club for the orchestra.Montreal Symphony Orchestra.Meeting him at various rece tions, I asked if he had any really exceptional players in his master class.Naturally the performers had \u2018enrolled prior to the quartet's arrival.Primrose looked at me.His face spoke volumes.\u201cI have five in my course\u2014two are passable but don't ask me about the others.\u201d These players can say: \u201cI studied with Primrose.\u201d Teachers are forgotten Alas, at Stratford Festival, if there are any outstanding participants, the teachers who guided them through the years, who worked their repertoire up, are forgotten.They will say when asked, \u201cWho did you study with?\" The guitarist will answer, \u2018\u201cLagoya\u2019\u2019.The singer will say, \u2018\u2018Souzay\u201d.The flutist will reply, \u2018\u201cRam- pal\u201d.Car stolen 3 years ago In canal Three stolen cars were found by Westmount police recently.Two were found the same day they were stolen but police had been searching for the other since 1968.On a Tuesday, an automobile valued at $2,500 when stolen was dragged out of the Lachine canal.It is now practically worthless, having been there three years.The same day, police found a still-running automobile on Clarke avenue.It had been stolen from Roger Automobile Ltd., 4269 St.Catherine street, west only minutes before.Police suspect the thief panicked or lost his nerve when he saw a police patrol car.An automobile stolen that Tuesday evening or sometime during Wednesday from 3055 Sherbrooke street west was picked up in Chateauguay with stolen plates attached to it.Police report that the owner of the car hadn't realized the car had been stoien when it was reported to him that his automobile had been found.Radiological course coming Westmount Civil Protection is offering a course of five evening sessions over 21% weeks in radiological detection, sometime after August 15 and after 25 persons have indicated their interest.Participants should be over 18 years of age.Real equipment, such as Geiger counters, will be used along with radioactive material.Applications should be made to Insp.Wm.Pride or Cst.Wm.Kavanagh at Westmount Police headquarters, 931-1711. c, 6e \u2014\u2014_ IT'S THE REAL THING (Limit of 2 per Customer) (Plus btl.Deposit) Ctn.of 6 EER {APS LE \\ CANADA GRADE FRESH HGCHIC WHITE SHIN TOILET TISSUE Pig A 7 rolls LET.Ca 1 Ib.dy | CHRISTIESS SODAS?GOLDEN RIPE, LARGE SIZE 3 ; > di \u201cA A La é À # ll ° e; anteed effective DETERGENT POWDER King Size 5 Ib.box JUJUEXZF juNOU;SOM YL this store only A&P FOOD STORE 1953 ST.SRTHERINE STW.: DELIVERY SERVICE AVAILABLE MONDAY THRU SATURDAY \u2014 Book Your Order Now to have your rugs or broad- looms, washed, cleaned and repaired while you are on vacation.GREGORY'S Re 4151 St Catherine St.W Phone 932-4277 ORIENTAL Choreographer Jeff Henry was Somerville activist By GORDON SADOL \u201cFT don't believe in teaching dancers \u2018how to dance\u2019 or actors \u2018how to act\u2019,\u201d was the first thing Jeff Henry said to me.\u201cI believe in helping them to express what they have in themselves.Seli- development.That's the key.\u201d We were at the theatre in Old Montreal and far from his Westmount home where he\u2019s been living for seven years.However, he came off the subject of choreography long enough to tell me that a group of Somerville area residents comprising Wedding TTL a TOM MUNK er: >
