Educate poor, General Jacob urges convent schools CHANDIGARH , Nov 27 It was a thrilling moment for students of two city schools when a demonstration of aero-models was organised for them by the local chapter of the Aeronautical Society of India today.Three types of aero-models with wing-spans ranging from three feet to six feet were brought in for the purpose. The demonstrations were conducted by Amritsar-based aero-modelling instructor, Mr Ruby, and a local resident, Mr Ujjal Singh Atwal. The models included a special aerobatic model model as well as a powered glider. According to Wg Cdr D.P. Sabharwal (retd), maneuvers performed by the aero-models included inverted flying, barrel rolls, spins and loops at altitudes ranging from 800 feet to 2,500 feet. The purpose behind the display is to simulate interest among the students in aviation related activities. The displays were organised at Vivek High School, Sector 38, and St Kabir Public School, Sector 26. A similar display will be organised at Satluj Public School, Panchkula, and Sishu Niketan School, Sector 22, tomorrow. While Vivek has already introduced aero-modelling as a hobby in the school, the others are wanting to introduce it from the next academic session. Government Senior Secondary School, Sector 46 The annual prize distribution ceremony of Government Senior Secondary School, Sector 46, was held here on Monday. Mr Baljit Kalia, DEO, Chandigarh Administration, was the chief guest in the morning session of the function, while Mr Natha Singh Dalam, Information and Public Relations Minister, Punjab, was the chief guest in the evening session. In the morning session which was for the students, students were awarded for their academic and extra-curricular achievements.

Mr Jatinder Bhatia, president, PTA, welcomed the chief guests and requested the minister that students who passed their 10+2 from Chandigarh should be allowed to appear in CET and PMT tests of Punjab. Students also presented a cultural function on the occasion. Sacred Heart Senior
Secondary School The Governor of Punjab, Lieut-Gen J.F.R. Jacob, has urged the convent schools to come forward to educate those children who have to work throughout the day as ragpickers or in hotels and dhabas, who too have a right to education. He was speaking after inaugurating the three-day annual function, Spectrum, of Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School here on Monday. True to its name, Spectrum had a wide variety of events presented by over 2,800 children in the age group of four to 15. General Jacob said it was essential to accord a place of pride and priority to education so as to inculcate among the youth the spirit of tolerance and consideration to others. The need of the day was not only to have educated citizens but good citizens also because a society sans values was nothing short of anarchy. He said after the invention of printing press, the Internet was the second major development which would affect the mankind tremendously. Therefore, it was imperative to give a feel of the Internet to the students. The Chandigarh Administration had decided to introduce computer education in all government schools. He also gave away prizes to toppers of Class X. Accompanied by the Principal, Sister Gloria, General Jacob lighted a lamp to inaugurate the function. Rt Rev Dr Jerald Mathias, Bishop of Shimla-Chandigarh diocese, who was the guest of honour said it was the responsibility of parents and teachers to teach moral values to the children by setting examples themselves. As the spectrum moved from bharatnatyam to Arabian dance through aerobics, Tamilian kavadi and karagha attam, Gujarati garbi and koli dance of Goa. If tiny tots of LKG glittered in the shining dress in their gloss and glitter dance, students of Class VI created ripples and waves with green, white, orange and yellow ribbons. The special item of the show, Srijan, presented by students of Class X and Class XI, depicted how five elements air, water, fire, earth and sky created life on the earth. |

Lawyers given eviction
notices CHANDIGARH Sources said, as a first step, eviction notices had been issued to lawyers who were in alleged unauthorised occupation of chambers. The formula of allotment has been shown to a team of the Punjab and Haryana High Court for acceptance. The Deputy Commissioner, Mr M. Ramsekhar, when contacted, confirmed the eviction notices issued to lawyers who were not authorised to occupy the chambers. Since 1986 when the chambers were first allotted in some cases, the principal allottee and the two co-allottees had pledged their rights to some others lawyers on their own. In some cases, it has been found that there was only one lawyer per chamber meant for three lawyers. In some cases, fathers had handed down their chambers to their sons even if the latter was not eligible.
Under the new policy, unoccupied chambers would be allotted through a draw of lots conducted among the 300 eligible applicants. Where one or two seats were vacant in the chambers, the present occupants would be asked for their preference to choose their fellow lawyers in the chambers. |

Two get bonus shares PANCHKULA In their complaint, it was alleged that they bought 100 shares for Rs 754 each, and sent these for transfer in December 1994, before the exbonus closure date. It was added that Indian Bank sold these before the closing date and all rights accruing after October 1994 were of the complainants. The two informed that the shares were sent to CAMS Computer Age which transferred shares for Wockhdart Limited. They alleged that the shares were returned to them with minor objections. The corrected shares were sent back. Though corrected shares in the name of the complainants came back, the bonus shares were wrongly transferred in the name of the bank. They alleged that due to deficiency in service, the bonus share had not been issued to him. Upon notice, the opposite parties said that the company recognised only complete transfer deeds. In the case in question, these were defective and objection memo was issued from Chennai. It was stated that the complainants were not entitled to receive bonus shares. The Bench observed that there was no reason to withhold the bonus share of the complainant and that such a move amounted to deficiency of service.
