By Bob Douglas Citizen staff writer A record $7,000,000 building program has been approved by the Ottawa Separate School Board for 1969. The new program far surpasses the board's previous high of $4,500,000 set four years ago. The pressure of a growing population and mushrooming housing developments necessitated the big construction program, the board announced Tuesday night.

Chairman Frank Gilhooly said the board will seek grants amounting to two-thirds of the construction costs from the provincial government. The applications will be made to the Ontario Municipal Board through the Ontario Education Capital Aid Program. The board has also proposed that the Ontario Housing Corporation help pay the cost of schools servicing the corporation's planned 1,800 units in the city. Answer awaited The proposal made at the board's November meeting called on the corporation to pay either the whole cost of the school buildings or the difference between provincial grants and the actual cost Mr. Gilhooly said a reply has not yet been received.

The board expects another 1,000 primary school children will be added next year to the 28,000 now in the system. Reflecting the rapidly growing population in the western section of the city, six of the nine construction projects will be in the region from Ottawa West to Britannia. Included in the new construction are two new schools and additions to seven.

Under the soon-to-lapse bilateral agreement between The Netherlands and Canada, KLM had landing rights at Montreal and Canadian Pacific Airlines landing rights at Amsterdam. KLM, like a lot of other world airlines, wanted to tap the rich Toronto market and gave notice a year ago that the agreement would be allowed to expire unless it got landing rights at Toronto. Nothing to offer The trouble with this gambit, officials say, is that the Dutch had nothing to offer in exchange for Toronto rights, simply because The Netherlands is geographically small. By Dave Mcintosh Canadian Press staff writer The Netherlands has lost in its attempt to force Canada to give KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) landing rights at Toronto, informed sources here say.

The air agreement between the two countries will expire Jan. 8, 1969, but The Netherlands has quietly told Canada that its arrangements can continue until April 1 at least. Landing rights are one of the highest-stake poker games in the world. Sources said The Hague, in effect, tried to bluff Canada with a weak hand. Canada called the hand and an embarrassed Dutch government threw it in.

Toronto a prize Officials said Canada intends to hold out on Toronto for the highest price possible that is, comparable landing rights for Air Canada and CP Air in other countries. And these countries, unlike the Dutch, have something to offer. The Netherlands has informed the Canadian government that after Jan.

8 CP Air can continue to land at Amsterdam. In exchange, Canada has told The Hague that KLM can continue landing at Montreal while negotiations continue. Moreover, KLM already more than 50 per cent of the Canada-Holland air traffic. As a result, Canada told The Netherlands it could go and scrap the agreement. This bluntness has upset the external affairs department because relations between Canada and The Netherlands have been the very best for a long time, even sentimental.

The agreement does not give Ottawa Cablevision the sole right to operate in the township but to date it is the only cablevision firm to do so, now servicing about 9,000 customers.
