(By The Canadian Pseeai JOHANNBSBURG. South Africa. March iii-Criminals have taken advantage of the number of pdy- roll robberies on the Rand recent- ly to stage faked cases. Aotinras the victim, they have hidden the money obtained from the banks for their employers, and then have wraplaincd to the police that they have been robbed.

‘lwo natives who carried out faked robberies have already been sentenced to terms of imprison- ment ior the theft of their em- ployers‘ money. A third native ls waiting trial on the allegation that ha stole s large sum of mon- ey which. he told police, had been taken from him at the point of a revolver by three native robbers.

Senior detectives said that when- ever robberies were reported to tbein a careful check of the vic- tim's statement was made to en- sure that the report was genuine. The police have certain lines of investigation which they adopt to test a victim's story.

Two other, experts of the office of education. Ernest V. Hollis and J. Harold Ooldthorpe, have just completed a detailed study of what the war did to colleges and universities.

‘Jive Billion before use

They estimate these institutions need 06.000.000.000 before i050 for expansion and replacement of buildings and purchase of land. liven this would give each ‘ ‘ r less elbow room than pre-wsr stu- dents had.

Hollis and Goldthorlio said the colleges and universities have 841.- 5b0.000 feet of building space and need an additional 265,000.00. At i060 construction prices the ad- ditional cost would be about $1.- 0t0.000.000 or e10 a square foot.

"In space this is approximately the equivalent of l3! Empire State buildings," says Hollis. These new classrooms, laboratories and dorm- itories would ‘give colleges and universities 253 square miles oi space. This is larger than any American city except New York, Loo Angeles or New Orleans.

Besides problems of raising-anon- ey labor and material shortages are tough hurdles for anyone start- ing a muIti-hilllon ddllar job, EX- peris at the bureau of labor stat- istics say the school work might be done by about 265,000 workmen working steadily for s. yes-r.

The apparent shortage of mil- lionaires isn't causing office of ed- ucation officials to lose much sleep. They figure the “small fry" earners and to: payers will come through.

Ireland's Sons Honor Patron Saint Today

Canadian Preee Staff Writer

It’: St. Patrick's Day today and the symbol of the shamrock will again enliven irish hearts and recall to Irish utlnde the legend- ary figure of one of the most col- orful saints of history.

The date of St- Pai-riclfs birth. and even the date of his death, are disputed by scholars. But, it's agreed he lived in the fifth cen- tury and died at Abbey Saul in County Down-in the year 460, some say, while others maintain it was 493. The place of his birth is pretty much a. mystery. Histor- ians have conjectured him vari- ously cs o. native of Ireland. Eng- land. Wales and France. There are those who assert that the Apostle of Ireland was really a Scotsman, born at Kllpatrick, near Dumber- ton.

In any case there's little dispute that he had a. long and adventur- ous life. Kidnapped at the age of 10 from his father's farm by a band of pirates, he was sold into slavery to a petty chieftaln. Six years later he escaped, journeyed to France. and became a monk, first at Tours and later at Lerins. one of the most celebrated mon- asteries in Europe.

Home: and some time after was sent by Pope Celestine to preach in Ireland. Awarding to his Irish biographers, Patrick founded 305 churches and baptised with his own hand 12.000 persons.

There can be little doubt he was s persuasive missionary. It was while preaching at Tara that St. Patrick made the shamrock im- mortal. when a. Druid priest challenged the mystery of the ‘lrlrilty. Patrick. stooping to the emerald sod, picked up a shamrock and held it high to prove that three could combine in one and one in three. -

After 20 years of missionary travels, he fixed his sec at Arm- agh about the year 454. His relics were preserved at Downpatrick. near the Abbey Saul, down to the period of the Reformation; and the district about Downpairick is venerated by Irishman to this day.

Sir Oliver while retaining his college post, became chairman oi the executive committee of the i0 European nations which drew up the European Recovery Program. His choice for that difficult chore was based on his performance as a wartime civil servant. His judg. ment, tact and capable admjmgg. ration brought him eventual ad- vancement to permanent secretary of the combined ministries of sup- ply and aircraft production.

He made the two ministries into a single, tidy administration, clean- ed up his desk and returned to Oxford less than two years ego. At the same time he turned down several private business offers.
