Preliminary budget estimates from the City show that operating costs Wie increase by More than a million this year or. Spivak blamed the in creases on the new civic sys tem created by the new demo cratic party provincial govern ment last year and said that the million the government has set aside to cover any transitional costs increases in the new system is not adequate. The Assumption was that this new system would provide savings for taxpayers now we see this is not the he said. And or. Spivak predicted that civic taxes would be even higher next year with further centralization and equalization of services. This will be the year of the modest he said there is no Way the government can opt out of its responsibility to the taxpayers of commenting on a proposal from City commissioners to in crease transit fares for elderly citizens or.

Jackson professor of Edu cation and human development at the University of Chicago said that despite the occasional Flicker of drama pain hilarity or discomfort that comes into classrooms most of them Are very Ordinary most of the time. Talking to the Manitoba association for children with learn ing disabilities at the University of Manitoba he said to re Cognize the significance of the commonplace particularly in reference to school children it was necessary to recognize the Large amounts of time children spend in classrooms. Classrooms Are the same from their Olive drab wastebaskets to the spirit and phraseology of the teacher standing by the big desk he said. Classrooms should be exam ined in the same Way As Natu ral forces like wind and water in geologic terms in their influence on children. Schools serve two functions preparation for the future and an environment for to Lay he said. The preparatory function makes sense Only if the persons being prepared have a future and the activities in the school Are related to coping with that future. Schooling takes so much of a student s time it must also be seen As a consumer experience for the children. If what schools Are doing now for children in the names of their futures is totally unpleasant it must be questioned or. Jackson said.

The fishing season in Southern Manitoba does t Start until Satur Day. Backfire As a political move the corporation chose to foreclose by a Legal move. The Plant opened in 19g1 and was run by Gumc Indus tries with capital provided by the Manitoba develop ment corporation totalling the amount includes interest and unpaid service charges. Premiered Schreyer said that if the report of the Plant s closing is Correct then it is up to the develop ment corporation to secure its assets As quickly As pos sible. The Sprague Plant has been the subject of controversy in the legislature recently since Gabriel g i r a r d pressed the government to know who actually owns the Plant the development corporation or great North Ern capital. Industry minister Leonard Evans of Manitoba said at the time that the shares of the company had been sur rendered to the develop ment corporation by great Northern because great Northern wanted to get out of an agreement whereby it said it would keep the Plant operating and would pay a guarantee if it shut Down the operation. The development Corpora Tion sent the shares Back and claimed that the Plant is still great Northern s responsibility. Under an agreement signed in 1968 ownership of the Plant was vested in great Northern capital and the development Corpora Tion was to Advance All Nec e s s a r y working capital. Great Northern claims the development corporation broke the agreement be cause it stopped advancing capital. Progressive conservative Leader Sidney Spivak after hearing of the events Mon Day morning accused the government of trying to create a Legal fiction so that it could claim great Northern broke the agree ment. He said the govern ment actually broke the agreement itself last july and has since taken Over responsibility for operation of the Plant. Or. Spivak said the peo ple of Sprague will be the ones to suffer for the government s actions. They the government Are in control of the Board since april 12 they Are the directors if the Plant was closed it was closed As a result of their actions and they Are the Only people responsible for Liberal House Leader Gordon e. Johnston Portage la Prairie said there should be an investigation of the development corporation s actions in lending the amount of Money it did with the amount of guarantees it had available. The government he said should act in such a Way As to protect the investment of the taxpayers and if that Means court action then so be charge boys with arson Winnipeg inner City police detectives have arrested two boys Ages 12 and 13, in connection with the fire Friday that destroyed a Canadian Pacific railway icehouse on Jarvis Avenue. The boys were charged with arson and turned Over to Juve Nile authorities. Detectives also arrested an eight year old and a 10-year-old boy in connection with a fire Friday afternoon that caused in damage to a garage at the rear of 572 Manitoba ave nue. The boys were ordered to appear in juvenile court this week. Ered As cultures As total ways of life for their inhabitants he said. This would Lead to broader definition of roles for the teach ers As designers of the cultural environment rather than merely instructors. It would require a More care Ful look at relations in the classroom to understand the signals Given to students More exactly. Research has indicated that a teacher looks More at ten Tiv Ely at High achieving youngsters gives them longer to answer questions and is More tolerant of their mistakes. Teachers probably Are unaware they do this but their attention should be tuned to catch these differences or. Jackson said. Children Aren t turned off by slaps but by averted eyes he suggested. He also suggested teachers should become More systematic in looking Over their classrooms so As not to neglect children furthest away from their desks or children who did t squirm around or Chil Dren who weren t pretty or cute or children who did t do nutty things or who did t make themselves obvious in some other Way. The Best Way for teachers to Gaiu knowledge of their classrooms would be to visit other classrooms and gain by comparing their approaches and their work with that of the teacher Down the Hall he said.
