And maybe that s because Large organizations Don t scare the 53-year-old metro chairman he s International vice president of one of the largest. John Ernest Willis a name he rarely uses since he much prefers to be called Jack is Well suited to take up uie reins of office As metro s political head. In August he was elected to the second highest office in kiwanis International thus becoming a leading contender for its presidency in 1968. In two years he could be world Leader of the service organization which has members in 18 countries. A Veteran of six years on metro Council coun.

For the past four years he has been metro s vice chairman and was Only narrowly edged out of the chairman s Job in july when former councillor l. E. Ostrander was. Elected. Cast in the same Mould of soft spoken efficiency which characterized metro s Origi Nal chairman tar. H. G. Coun. Willis has never been a headline grabber. Throughout h i s three terms with metro his contribution during debate was usually in the form of Well reasoned Well documented argument. Rarely would he in the partisan political debates which have done much to tarnish metro Council s image in recent weeks. As a result Many observers feel that his two year term at the political Helm May go a Long Way toward restoring to metro Council the Unity which has been lacking of late. There Are two main things that will have to be done in the near he said in an interview tues Day evening. First we re going to have to arrange a meeting Wilh the province to see what can be done to in crease m e t r o s financial support. Second we re going to have to set up a Liaison Between the corporation the area municipalities and the provincial government in an Effort to establish a list priorities not Only metro projects but also of each of the coun. Willis referred to the overload of work which has been in limbo in the offices of the metro build ing until the election was Over. Budget discussions Are scheduled to begin any Day. The Federal government is about to be approached for Aid for the new transit Headquarters. The master development plan will soon be thrown open at Public hearings. Metro s Over All zoning bylaw is expected to be presented soon. A resident of East Kildonan since 1919, coun. Willis is married with two daughters. Al present he is Winnipeg manager of a plastics firm the Job he has held Down since 1945 despite his Multi tude of outside acl Vilics. A.

In addition to the kiwanis club he has been actively involved in the masonic Lodge the metropolitan civil defence Board the East Kildonan Community club and the Elmwood and Kil Donan Yucas. I like to keep is quoted As saying. And All the signs Are that coun. Willis will have much to Busy himself with in the next two years. Set Edward Fairweather in charge of ramp telecommunications for Manitoba tests equip ment of the new wire Holo network. The service started tuesday in Winnipeg and provides a link with six other Canadian cities. Ramp wire photos link seven Canadian cities by Ron Campbell it now takes 13 minutes instead of up to three Days to distribute essential crime pictures to ramp detach ments in Canada. This is due to the new ramp wire photo network which opened operations in seven major can Adian cities tuesday morn ing. Reception and transmission is possible 24 hours a Day. Seven Days a week Over four wire circuits an ramp spokesman said. The network s facilities will eventually extend to All ramp divisional Headquarters and to provincial forces across Canada.

Photos of walled Meu bogus cheques or Bills documents and fingerprints can be Iran milled Over the network. At the Winnipeg detach m e n i Headquarters 1091 Portage Avenue. Inspector r. G. Ross explained opera Tion of the new machines. The picture transmitter sends a photo to a receiver in the City that has been dialled on a hot line Tele phone next to the trans Miller. If the Winnipeg Delach Meul s k300 photographic receiver Lias been dialled from another City it lakes 13 minutes to receive and 22 seconds to develop the Ivy by 8-Inch Glossy photo. The ramp Here has the receiver and transmitter on monthly rental from Cana Dian National Canadian Pacific telecommunications. Before the wire photo machines were installed Insp. Ross said it could take up to three Days for full distribution by mail of crime pictures from ramp Ottawa Headquarters to All Canadian detachments. The machines Are part of the s15 million expansion of ramp crime intelligence facilities promised in Janu Ary at the Federal provincial conference on organized crime he said. Only a Small portion of what was mentioned As the amount of. The promised expansion has been used up by acquisition of the wire photo system Insp. Ross said. There was no Timp wire photo system before now he said because of the amount of Money available for Over All polic ing we have to be Able to justify the Money we do get.1 Insp. Considered the new machines a definite asset. I think it s most Neces sary in this Day and age when the criminal element is Heeney sees crisis in education by Michael Grieve there is a crisis in Canadian education and its consequences will be widespread according Lodr. Arnold Heeney Canadian head of the International joint commission. Speaking at the 100th annual convocation of St. John s College tuesday or. Heeney said the crisis has resulted from the relationship Between the academic Community and the state. The great expansion in All areas of knowledge and the importance of education s contribution to economic growth. Or. Heeney was awarded an honorary doctor of Canon Law degree at the convocation held to Confer an honorary degree upon most Rev. Howard Hewlett Clark anglican archbishop of Rupert s land. The nation should look to Hie academic Community for the flow of ideas and the definition of standards of behaviour which will stimulate the processes of government said or. Heeney. But there is no doubt the two communities have markedly diverged he said. The higher civil service is often thought of As a closed Bureau Cracy insensitive to the March of while the academic Community is sometimes called uninformed in giving irresponsible criticism. Or. Heeney attributed blame for the divergence to neither Side but said the consequences Are Baleful and Al a time when the nation has desperate need for the Best intelligence and the most responsible minds in War and reconstruction periods scholars were integrated into the service and made important contributions to policy formation he said and Al in the United Stales and Britain academics Are participating at High Levels of administration. I am satisfied that in Canada we can devise the Means to restore and improve our if Canada is to develop to its full potential More resources will have to be directed into education because of an expansion in All areas of knowledge. This Calls for an agonizing reappraisal. Tradition and Devotion to the past cannot be substituted for a willingness to explore novel even Radical routes toward the ancient objective of Wisdom and he said. In this situation the role of Small colleges particularly those with Church foundations such As St. John s was not easily determined. The solution will be consid ering the possibility under appropriate conditions of secular solutions to the problems or. Heeney said. Among others receiving honors at the convocation were Rev. Frederick James Boyd and Rev. Luger Guy awarded doctor of divinity degrees and Lohn Fletcher Waudby who became an honorary fellow of St. John s College.

Grain prices Are High enough that larger payments can be made without risk. I expect this Resolution to be a major Point of discussion during our final payments to Farmers he said should he made sooner than during the past few years. This Lias almost become a political Issue. Every year there is a debate in parliament whether the final payment was a higher one than in the previous year. This is of Little importance to the Farmer who is waiting for his or. Runciman said that no discussion is expected on Grain movement this year.

Runciman lashed out Al reports thai the Churchill ele Valois had not been filled in time and called the Flap Over Churchill a storm in a Tea cup. It was an attempt to create some fall employment but it in t Quile fair to give the Issue so much importance. Any failure to fill the Churchill elevators now will not have any effect on the movement of Grain out of As Long As the elevators Are filled by next August there will be no problem. Asked whether he expected the Price of Grain to Rise or. Runciman said he doubted thai j any significant increase would j be achieved in the immediate future. But As food Aid was playing a More and More important role in the developed countries higher returns might be in store for the Farmer. Not Only will governments have to have Money to buy the food they will also have to induce producers to Supply the necessary quantities. This can Only be done by higher he said.
