He has written the Quebec Department of Education urging that between four and six million dollars be spent in the next two years on schools to enable them to accommodate the growing school population of the city.

PM PRESS SECRETARY DECIDES TO MOVE ON Prime Minister Diefenbaker is looking for a new press secretary. James Nelson, who has held that post since 1957 when it was created in the Prime Minister's office, reached his 38th birthday on February 2, took a good look at things and decided the Civil Service was not the career for him.

The Hull Catholic School Trustees announced the award Saturday after considering five tenders.

Work is expected to start in the near future and completion is set for July, 1961. Designed by Hull architect Rene Richard, the school will have 32 classrooms; as well as gymnasia, recreation rooms and libraries. 30-YEAR-OLD CONSCIENCE SATISFIED A 30-year-old troubled conscience has been soothed with the return of three dollars, plus interest, to the Ottawa Boys' Club. An unsigned letter received by executive director Fred Mc-Cann explains that some 30 years ago the writer swiped about $3 in coins from collection boxes he was taking from door-to-door for donations. He said in the letter his conscience had bothered him during the long interval and he wanted to make amends.

He returned $5. 'CROSS TOWN ilh 6 Teenage Baby Sitters By J. A. Hume Citizen Staff Writer The National Capital Commission plans to spend $2,000,000 in the 1960 61 federal fiscal year as a start on the five-year $12,000,000 railway re-location and new union station project. The expenditure will cover necessary railway re-location work to make certain that construction of the Queensway will not be held up in any way, particularly in its Bank Street railway yard section.

The $2,000,000 item is the largest of the NCC $3,568,000 construction program for the federal fiscal year, opening April 1. Other large NCC expenditure items for' the ensuing year are: 5-Mile Road 1 Gatineau Parkway, to cover paving of a five-mile section from the Mountain Road to the Notch Road and rough grading construction of a new six-mile cross parkway from the Gatineau Parkway, above the Notch Road, in an arc around through Old Chelsea to link up with the Fortune Lake Parkway beyond the Meach Road. 2 Eastern Parkway, $190,000, rough grading construction of about two miles from the Montreal Road to Ogilvie Road, providing a new diversion traffic route avoiding Eastview and providing quick access to Alta Vista, Rivcrview Park and Elm-vale acres sections. 3 Finishing the landscaping of Col. By Drive, Bronson Bridge to Hogs Back, $158,000, including tearing up the old narrow paved road and returning the area to nature.

By letter to Cross Town, by phone call, and by curbstone conversation, I am constantly being asked for a quick, short route to Florida. More times than 1 can say, I have given The Idiot's Delight, 11-15-1 in this column. Now something has been added; it's the new skyline Pennsylvania Turnpike dream road. lam assuming you know how to get to Watertown, New York.

If you can't get that far on your own, you'd better stay home. So when you come to Water-town, sail south on Route 11 through Syracuse and Bing-hampton in NY state to Pennsylvania and on down toward Scranton, Pennsylvania. When you get near Clark's Summit, about 10 miles north from Scranton, you will see a bridge turning knots in itself in the sky. That's ths new Pennsylvania Turnpike. Stay on it till you get to King of Prussia, outside Philadelphia, when you turn right and west, and travel the main Pennsylvania Turnpike.

When you get south of Har-risburg, turn off at Route 15. This will cost you $2.40, and consume about four hours. Going south as you now are, through Gettysburg and Frederick, Maryland, you will find a road with little traffic. You do not go through any place of any size in Virginia, nor until you enter North Carolina. First place is Oxford, NC.

Then come Durham, Chapel Hill, both in North Carolina. Before you get into the village of Sanford, North Carolina, you find No. 15 running into No. 1. This U.S.

No. 1 will take you all the way to Miami if you are going to the east coast, thus completing the 1115-1 Austin Cross Fined On Liquor Count ever, he had some ideas to offer on a "relatively inexpensive" type of shelter he had seen in some American cities. Simple Structure He recommended a simple structure made of steel and fiberglass, requiring practically no maintenance. "Cleveland, I believe, has some of these," he said. Old-style wooden shelters need repainting, he pointed out, and are less satisfactory.

"The NCC would have all the facilities for designing the shelters," he added. Transformation of Sparks Street into a promenade would force the rerouting of buses west along Wellington, Mr. Brady said Friday. By Philip Cooper Citizen Staff Writer An offer by Sparks Street merchants to help provide OTC passenger shelters on Wellington Street was hailed as "a most welcome move" by OTC general manager George Brady today. "We're concerned with passenger comfort," he said.

E. R. Fisher, president of the Sparks Street Development Association, said Friday his group would willingly share the cost of such shelters with the city when the Sparks Street promenade "experiment" is launched in May. The OTC itself has no money for such expenditures, Mr. Brady noted regretfully.

May Boost Liquor Fine TORONTO (CP) -The Star says fines for serving liquor to minors are to be increased as much as 900 percent under new legislation to be proposed in the Ontario Legislature this week. It says an amendment to the Liquor Control Act will increase the maximum fine for this offence to $300 and make the minimum $40.

At present the law provides a maximum fine of $50 and a minimum of $10. If, however, you plan to go west coast, stay on U.S. 1 to Waycross, Georgia. Here you turn right and west from Waycross to Homerville, Georgia. You turn south on 441 to City, first town in Florida.

At this point U.S. 441 becomes U.S. 41, and this will take you south to Tampa and other points. My most recent enquirer is Juergen Kuehn, 1355 Wellington Street. But mark my words, instead of my readers keeping this itinerary of the Idiot's Delight (11-15-1) people will phone in, profess never to have seen it.

This is last call. I do not plant to run it again till 1961. Incidentally, people with cars or who fancy themselves as great big shots prefer the throughways and toL routes, which are hundreds of miles longer. This 11-15-1, except for the Turnpike, is dull but dependable. Happy motoring.
