• Look out for Hallowe'en and,
Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches' gateposts,
Giving stars the.stare.
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Sirring round the fate -cakes,
With a solemn spoon.
Witches, cats,
Ghosts and bats,
Hallowe'en's that,
And that is that!

Spent fuel shipped
from Douglas Point
A consignment of "spent"
fuel from the Douglas Point
Nuclear Power Station is on its
way to Mol, Belg:um, for'
Reprocessing at a plant operated
there by the European Nu,clear
Energy Agency. Under a 1968
agreement between Atomic
Energy of Canada Limited and
the ' French Commissariat A
L'Energie Atomique, the latter
will buy plutonium extracted
from the fuel, for use in
experimental power reactors.
During the "burning" of
uranium fuel in a reactor some
of the Uraniuth is changed into
plutonium. A residue of this
plutonium can be recovered
from spent fuel and used as a
fuel in other reactors.
The agreement provides for
the application of international
safeguards, including' inspection;
to ensure the plutonium is Used
qnly for peaceful purposes.
The Douglas Point shipment,
consisting of 320 fuel bundles
weighing a total of ksixItons, is
being transported '1'5 three
special containers. Handling the
shipment is Transnuclear Inc., a
company specializing in
international shipment Of
nuclear materials. The containers
were taken by truck to 5:
Toronto, where they were
loaded on board a ship for F. -
Europe. 22 -
Two previous shipments of
spent fuel have been made under
the 1968 agreement, both of
them from the ,Nuclear Power
Demonstration Station at
Rolphton, Ontario
Three Rs will cost more
Total cost of bducation in
Canada for 1970-71 is estimated .
to grow by 14 percent to
$7,635,000,000, according to
* School Progress magazine in a
report based on the latest
DominiOn Bureau of Statistics
estimates.
Despite Modest growth in
§chool population, the sharp rise •
results from growth
concentrated in the more
expensive educational
institutions -- high schools,
colleges arid universities. Fewer
dropouts is a factor in the
increase.
Average cost for each
enrolthent is up '12 percent -
$1,206 per student this year;
$1,080 last year.
Enrolment in elementary
sclioel. is increasing qnly
school enrolment goes up about
four percent. In colleges and
universities the increase iS about
10 percent. . The reduced
dropout rate is revealed by the
fact that the_ estiinated
secondary and post -secondary
scifool growth is greater than
expected on the basis of
population age -group statistics.
First glimmerings of a
slowdown in the expansion of
schools and costs is seen 'in
kindergartetr,- where enrolment,
shows a one percent decline to
355,800. This reflects a sharp
drop in the birth rate that began
fiv6- years ago. While the total,
school population is forecast to
grow for, /970-71, enrolment in
elpmehtary schools is expebted,‘0
to decline about 44,000 .to just
.over four million
