Braving chilly winds and a biting cold, the youngsters and their teachers, who obviously had been standing for awhile, got just a quick glimpse of last summer's heroes. There was no time for slowing down, though, for a personal greeting or two. Just minutes earlier, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin Jr.

A few Carleton University students, most wearing their red school jackets for the occasion, waved as the cars drove by.

Just past Lansdowne Park, a sizeable delegation had gathered to offer their goodwill greetings: "American students welcome you." They were standing in front of a small, green panel truck bedecked with a large American flag.

The motorcade route was bright and colorful, enhanced by a sunshiny day, and smiling faces.

Kennedy Memorial at Runnymede Island in the River Thames during the weekend, police reported Monday, William McConnell, who brutally raped a 14-year-old girl last Feb. 23, was sentenced here today to 10 years in penitentiary. The sentence was imposed by Chief Justice of the High Court Dalton Wells before whom the 26-year-old man pleaded guilty on Oct. 16. His Lordship said that while he has no powers to send McConnell to any place other than a penitentiary, he would make a strong recommendation to the proper authorities that the accused be given the extensive psychiatric treatment recommended by competent psychiatrists.

Two psychiatrists, including Dr. Robert Coulthard, a specialist in psychiatry in the maximum security division at Penetanguishene Hospital, said McConnell suffers from "a personality disorder further complicated by alcoholism and drug addiction," and that unless he is cured he would present a constant danger to the public. Cure doubtful Dr. Coulthard said this morning the accused would require at least f-years of constant treatment but that it was still doubtful whether he could ever be cured. On the night of Feb.

THE HAGUE (AP) Little optimism was evident as the European Common Market summit conference went into its final round of discussion today on what to do about negotiations for Britain's admission. A spokesman for West German Chancellor Willy Brandt said he was "moderately pessimistic" about getting an early date for talks with Britain. Dutch Premier Piet Dc Jong, the conference chairman, said he was "not brimming over with optimism." Brandt said negotiations could begin in the spring. Premier Mariano Rumor of Italy wanted to pin down the date to the end of March. But French president Georges Pompidou, who requested the conference, was said by his delegation to be holding out against setting one.
