* * * Education Minister the Hon. Clarence Terceira said parents' concerns about the proposed transfer of Dellwood Primary School to Northlands Secondary School were being looked at.

A team of educational officers was examining the situation -- "what the options might be and even what the alternatives might be.'' He did say that Government had to make the final decision and the buck stopped at his desk, but he did not see that as dictatorial.

Moving to the UBP Blueprint, Dr. Terceira said a $2 million National Education Foundation was nearly ready, a Government preschool had been added, the completion of Bermuda College's Stonington campus and construction of the school at Prospect were on target and the reforms were proceeding.

"We are keeping the promises that we have made,'' he said.

The availability of pornographic television in Bermuda again drew the ire of the Hon. Ann Cartwright DeCouto (UBP).

She noted that she complained about the Canadian porn channel that was available to Bermuda subscribers before Easter. Then, she called on the responsible Minister to "look into the matter on an urgent basis and put a stop to it.

"This particular Canadian channel was in fact banned and illegal in Canada itself,'' she said. "If it can be done in Canada, it can be done here.'' However, she had heard nothing since then.

Mrs. Cartwright DeCouto noted there was no Government legislation before the House yesterday and it would have been an ideal time to bring the legislation forward.

"Put a stop to this filth immediately,'' she said.

Rev. Trevor Woolridge (PLP) said with Bermuda Day approaching, Bermudians had to remember that it was not just the job of the Department of Tourism to promote the Island for visitors.

Bermudians had to make sure the Island continued to enjoy a reputation as a clean place to visit. Bags for refuse should be packed with the picnic lunches.

He felt new KBB adds were very effective, especially one in which a young lady would not date a young man because he littered.

And Bermudians had to be just as friendly as clean, Rev. Woolridge said.

"It is entirely our responsibility to take care of our own Country,'' he said. That would help "increase the numbers (of visitors) that increase our balance of payments and keep all of us employed.'' Mr. Gibbons said his Ministry had been "beating this drum'' for a long time.

Some Bermudians got caught up in "greed,'' he said. In reference to Mr.

Morton's comments, he added: "Some of us don't get as much as $15 for the meetings we attend.'' Dr. Saul said he was impressed by Rev. Woolridge's speech about litter. He felt that only one in ten Bermudians littered, and if the other nine would pick up litter, a big dent would be made in the problem.

Instead of urging Bermudians not to litter, Government should now be urging them to pick up after those who do, he said.

Mr. Bascome said he was putting the House and Grounds committee "on notice'' that he was fed up with arriving at the House and not being able to find a parking spot.

As for Rev. Woolridge's comments, MPs should take the lead in keeping Bermuda clean, he said.

Mr. Bascome also expressed concern that "just one quarter of the miles of beach in Bermuda are public beaches.'' More should be opened to the public.

One only had to look at how crowded Shelly Bay was on a public holiday.

"It definitely is a sin in this day and age to allow private beaches, and especially in those areas where they can be made public.'' Mr. Dodwell appealed to businesses to hire students this summer.

There were already 600 students registered looking for summer jobs, he said.

Government had places for 100 students, and the Ministry of Youth and Sport was again running its very worthwhile Chores Corps programme.

Private groups already participated, like the Chamber of Commerce with its Career Track, which brought together students and potential employers to talk about careers.

Hoteliers hired many students, Mr. Dodwell said.

There were many benefits to hiring students. Relations were built between young people and business people, it started the training process, and students learned what tourism and other important businesses were all about.

"It's really not a cost that you look at today,'' he said. "It's really an investment in the future.'' On the same theme, Youth and Sport Minister the Hon. Pamela Gordon thanked the business community for taking part in the Chores Corp programme.

"This year we have started earlier and had a tremendous response from the business community,'' she said.

The Ministry also wanted to arrange unpaid internships with some businesses to give students experience, she said.

In all, the Ministry was looking at "either facilitating the employment of, or definitely employing at least 500 young people.'' The Ministry was offering workshops because many students did not have proper job interview skills.

She encouraged businesses unhappy with the students they were sent to let the Ministry know so they could be retrained and sent out again.

Ms Gordon also said it was "erroneous'' that the Blueprint had been put on hold. Her Ministry was committed to recreational facilities in every parish.

One at Shelly Bay would be officially opened next week.

The youth TV programmes Teen Talk and Fast Forward were successful and a recording studio for youth was being looked at.

Mr. Reginald Burrows (PLP) said Bermudians were very concerned about excessive speeding on the roads, and the idea should be re-examined of reducing the size of cycle engine that was permitted.

It was difficult to sell someone a cycle that could travel at more than 65 miles per hour and then "expect them to abide by our low speed limit,'' Mr.

Burrows said.

He also expressed concern about "excessive'' violence in the community. It was bad for the community and bad for tourism.
