Will Suggest -25 Million In Scholarships WIJNNI-PEG (CP) — External Affairs Minister Sidney Smith said Monday night he will rec- ommend to his gov.ernment a plan to distribute $25,000,000 among university students in the form of scholarships and bursar- ies. . ‘ He said in an interview statis- tics revealed about 15 per cent of Canadian.university students get aid comp‘ared with about 70 per cent in British colleges. His plan would call for $6,250,- 000 to first-year students in its first year of operation and about $12,500,000 to first- and second- year students in the next year. By the fourth year the plan would distribute about $25,000,000 to all students. ’ — The» scholarships would aver- age about $600 each and would send about 40,000 more students to universities. the universities of Toronto and Manitoba, said he also thinks a change in the housing act could be made to permit universities to borrow from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation under favorable terms for construction of university residences. He is on a three—day tour of Manitoba. H.B.C.

Complains OI-cl Slogan Used LONDON (Reuters) —- Angus Maude, Conservative member of Parliament, complained Tuesday the British army is using a cam- paign slogan originally coined by Oliver Cromwell, the English dic- tator who fell 300 years ago. “The new model army" is the slogan. Maude told the Commons it first was applied to an army which “was recruited by the press gang, fought against -and executed its sovereign, forcibly interfered with the privileges of Parliament and established a mil- -itary dictator-ship.” \ Z Conservatives of Kings County , in the past eight months successful campaign. ‘ Gordon Wallace'Yorston, age 43 , Mrs. Lynn Sacchetti $19 includ- _ , are aggravated by elements in Mr. Smith, forimer president of Holcls Meeting Enthusiastic members of the newly formed Young Progressive held a meeting at Montague on Friday night in the Rainbow room of the Bison. ‘ Mr. Edwin MacDonald, presid- ent, opened the meeting and gave a very detailed account of the work and the benefits carried out by the Diefenbaker Government and wished Mr. John A.
