A study by researcher Peter Gibson portrays the five-year- old project as an extremely high-density, geographically iso lated community without any major recreation facilities, re mote from shopping centres and without an adequate bus service for the residents. The' board was told of conflict? among residents, many of them welfare recipients, and prejudice on the part of public tenants towards the surrounding middle-class, more affluent community. But it was noted there was' an equal bias on the part of surrounding homeowners towards the project residents. a "In the case of Confederation Court these objections have cul minated in the building of a chain link fence to separate the housing project from the rest of the neighborhood," the report In 1971 the population density was 160 persons per acre, making the project one of the heaviest populated in the city.

The board was told that residents were aware that the surrounding communities non-acceptance of them, if not overt hostility, had been passed on to their children and the youngsters, searching for an identity, were banding to gangs such as CALABOGIE (Staff) The police investigation into the dis-appearance of McNaughton, last seen near his father's: Holmes Lake fishing campsite June 12, is being severely hampered by rumor, a police spokesman said today.

Mr. McLean, to a letter to city clerk A. T.

Hastey, said the merchants want to know the exact cost of the mall to taxpayers and store lessees, whether the street will be traffic free and used for buses only, and the estimated cost breakdowns for each of the three proposed construction stages.

Wind recital despite cruel By BLYTH YOUNG The Ottawa Wind Ensemble, conductor Michael the Ayorama Wind Quintet and two string players combined Wednesday to give a recital of works by Mozart, Hetu and Dvorak at the Academic Hall, Uni versity- of Ottawa. Mr. Goodwin began the program with the combined wind forces in Mozart's delight'ul Serenade No. 12 to minor, K. 388.

Our initial impression was that he was not getting the resilience from the group which we might expect, but then it must be taken into account that the acoustics of the hall are brilliantly cruel to the wind sound, clear, but without any resilience. However, none of us could complain. This was marvellous music well performed and no admission was charged. Tht Quintet for Winds, Op. 13 by Jacques Hetu was offered by the members of the Ayorama Quintet, second desk players of the National Arts Centre Or chestra.

Lloyd Francis, Liberal MP for Ottawa-West, told the Commons Wednesday that some Ottawa pensioners have had the six- months' retroactive pension in crease deducted from their supplementary allowance. He asked Health Minister John Munro whether he was aware of the practice and did he intend to change the Canada Assistance Plan regulations to prevent it. Mr. Munro said the regu lations allowed the provinces to tal jurisdiction in setting social- assistance levels.

He eaid he had indicated to the provinces that he would prefer that they not alter the levels from the Charlebois High School described trend-setter Charlebois High School, scheduled to open in September, will probably be the first school to be used 12 months- a year and seven days a week. "Because it will be air-condi tioned, summer courses may be given tfiere to 1973," Principal Raymond Sauve told the Wednesday-meeting of the Ot tawa Richelieu Club. The modern school, to accom modate I.SW French-speaking students, is at Heron Road and Alta Vista Drive. Mr. Sauve said the school, to be completed in August, will have been built in record time.

Preliminary plans were ac cepted to September, 1971, and the contractors were at work at the end of November," Mr. Sauve -said. Chess match may begin on Sunday REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) American chess challenger Bobpy Fischer wrote and hand- delivered an apology to the So viet's Boris Spassky today, say ing his concern over financial arrangements almost wrecked the world championship match. I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," Fischer said. Fischer personally delivered the apology to Spassky.

The apology apparently cleared the way for the 24-game match to start Sunday. Equipment manager of Riders dies HAMILTON (CP) Frank Morgan, equipment manager of Ottawa Rough Riders, died today after suffering an apparent heart attack. He was 57. Morgan had attended a work out of the Canadian Football League team Wednesday night prior to tonight's exhibition game against Hamilton Tiger- Cats. But early today in his hotel he complained of chest pains.

He was rushed to hospital, and pro nounced dead on arrival. marvellous acoustics earlier hearing of this piece dur ing the winter concert in the Na tional Gallery.

Thursday, July 6, 1972 The Ottawa Journal goal set by the federal scheme. Mr. Francis cited the case of an Ottawa woman who receives the old-age pension and the social-welfare supplement, in cluding the cost of drugs. When she received the raise granted by Finance Minister Turner's May 8 budget, that same amount was deducted from her next drug cheque. Outside the House, Mr.

Francis said a number of cases had been-brought to his atten tion. The budget provided for a full cost of living increase to old-age pensions retroactive to Jan. 1 this year. It amounts to about $17 for the first six months. Pensions went up to $82.88 from $80 a month.

The Canada Assistance Plan may increase that to $150 for pensioners with no oth er source of income. "Bulldozers were already at work to December and final plans for the interior of the school were not even finalized," he added. Mr. Sauve said it was only through the co-operation of the school board, architects and the contractors that the school could be built so fast. "We may have set a trend for future school construction to the province," fie' said.

"We built with the student in mind," the school principal said. "Students will have all the room they need for their activi- outside-the classroom. There is even a mall-type ball with benches and trees." This mall measures 44 feet by 190 feet and is 35 feet high. Light comes in through a glass roof. Although the school is not situated in the centre of its fu ture, student population." Mr.

Sauve said, "it soon will be if construction continues at the present rate." It will definitely open on time," Mr. Sauve said. Downtown shootout a mystery City police today were still trying to piece together details of a gangland-style shoot-up to the Lyon-Florence Streets area Wednesday which left residents in fear and crumpled cars scat- tered on neighborhood lawns, A frightened young man and his female companion -said later they had been shot at. Four damaged cars were left strewn about the streets. The youth claimed he had driven to a house in that looking for his brother.

As he left the home after being told his brother wasn't there, shots rang out. Minutes later cars, apparently peppered with gunshot, were crashing on the street and roil ing up onto front lawns. One was completely wrecked. No arrests have been made and police say they are still investigating the incident. ort parking fees up The maximum daily parking fee at Ottawa Airport will jump by 35 per cent to SJ.25 on July 10, according to the ministry of transport.

New rates for parking were announced in newspaper advertisements Wednesday by the transport ministry. The minimum fee of 25 cents for the first two hours has been increased to 25 cents for the first hour. The 25 cents for the next two hours remains the same, but the old $1 rate for four to seven hours is dropped. The 24-hour fee of $1.75 goes up to $2.25 and the weekly rate goes to $11 from $10.
