A ministry spokesman said the federally and provincially matched dollars for the COED pro- gram ran out in June. "I can speak highly of the people in London," said Lane, who acknowledged the pro- posal is a complex project. There was however, a definite communication pro- blem. As Eckert points out, the hoard had no indication that the search for potential employees or the change in criteria had delayed the board's application. Trustees commented on "government efficiency". particularity on the large dollar amounts spent in the province under the COED program. "Over $200 million was spent in three months. Even I couldn't do that efficiently. Damn it, are our schools and kids not that important? If they had done that four years ago when the Tories had a minority government they'd have been hung from the nearest tree," said Mr. Eckert angrily. "And that's about as political as your director will ever get," added Eckert. relieving the tension in the room. As one trustee commented: "keep it on the front burner" and the board may yet see results on its proposal to add rooms to some of its schools in place of portables. A German engineered sports sedan for $30,000 is a thing of beauty. A German engineered sports sedan dor $8,925' is an affordable thing of beauty. For decades now, German engineer- ing hos been the acknowledged gold standard for the -automotive industry. This is especially true in the sports • sedan category. Regrettably, however, the price tag for those cars usually ends up equalling the car's weight in gold. One notable exception is the Volkswagen Jetta. Because it is built by Volkswagen, it is not just an automobile that many knowledgeable people would like to own; it is on automobile many knowl- edgeable people can afford to awn. Despite its low price, the Jetta offers the respected virtues of rack and pinion steeling and a 4 -wheel inde- pendent suspension with MacP'‘, •son struts up front. And while Jetta's 4 - cylinder, fuel injected engine with a five -speed manual transmission makes it fun to drive, it also delivers typical Volkswagen efficiency. People who wish to make their Jetta even more economical to run can choose the fuel efficient Volkswagen diesel engine. And the remarkable news is that there is no extra cost for this engine. The Jetta by Volkswagen. Is it any wonder then, that the word Volkswagen, loosely translated, means: people wagon. The Jetta.

PUC meeting Continued from front page would tie up "a trentet,uuijs amount of dollars", on the other hand, the PUC manager faces a possible $20,000 bill to scrap and replace many metres whose time expires next year. Testing the old metres co40439,each time. The new uratic suspension metres which cost $54..each, are so accurate and sturdy they may last a lifetime. If the old metres are taken out and tested twice, the same amount has been expended as would buy a new metre. In- itial expenditures for new metres would be balanced by absence of further costs over the long term. The PUC manager plans to see how many metres are due for scrapping in 1985. If the number is down, he hopes to reach a compromise with the ministry of consumer and corporate affairs, and replace fewer in 1984 and more the following year.
