WHY: COMPLICATE THINGS!.
The. Ontario Public School Trustees Association has been spon-
soring Public Speaking Contests in Ontario Schools since 1927, a
commendable record and one which has-produced many orators whose'
abilities might otherwise have remained untapped.
We hardly think that the new name which the group has dreamed
up will improve the quality, and effectiieness of the competition.
-ease.-yon-didreLknow,the Public Speaking Contest is no more.
It is now referred to at the "Oral Communications—Festiiir"-- -7—
gfficials of the association indicate that more emphasis will, in
the future, be 'placed /on impromptu speaking as well as the usual
'prepared subjects. This is given as a reason for the name change.
We fail to understand how a name tag like Oral Communications
Festival could, in any way, .assist impromptu speaking.. The Winston
dictionary defines the word "Festival" as " a time of rejoicing and
feasting, usually in honour of some great event, a special public cel-
ebration."
A
Does this sound like the speaking contest you have attended?
What is wrong with the name Public Speaking Contest? Changing
to a complicated irrelevant name will in no way improve, but only
complicate and confuse a ' contest which has had a every appropriate
_
,name, for many years. Some of the younger children entering in an
"Oral Communications Festival" couldn't pronounce the words, let
alone know what they mean.

At last municipal 'leaders are becoming aware of a fact that
chokinp noise-battered citizens in large cities have teen muttering
for some time — the car must go.
The problem is how to get rid of cars from downtown—streets
without infringing on the 'rights and convenience of citizens? „
An Ontario government decision'to stop construction of Toronto's
Spadina Expressway, which would have cut to the 'heart of the city,
was the first sign of political, awareness.
lecently 114ontreal municipal.officials have had second thoughts
about a /crosstown expressway extension of the Trans-Canada highway
— slashing through downtown Montreal.
Montreal Urban Commission Chairman.' f,ucien Saulnier, feels
apprOyar should have beoz delayed "until we had, a better assessment
Saulnier noted., "I'm sure. that there is a better than.even chance
a motorist who •is offered a very good, alternative will take public
transportatkM." '1
Both Montreal and Toronto are extending their subway systems,
and a firm in the U.S.A. with a grant from the government, is ex-
perimenting with sinall electric:powered. rubber wheeled vehicles
which-.run on either streets or tracks, —
Surely a °pulite', which has the technology to put a man on the
moon. can find ways. to move people quicklY, quietly, and Cleanly
around cities. '
