Negress Refused Entry to Nurses' School in Owen Sound
Marissa Scott, center, shown with two nieces, was refused admission to a nurses training course in Owen Sound Ontario, likely due to race. Ontario Health Minister Russell T Kelley said he could not intervene when Ed Sargent, Owen Sound’s boy mayor, raised the issue. Scott may train in Windsor. Bill Keralas of a Guelph restaurant promotes a mail order marriage system with Diamond Andonopoulis, a Greek immigrant, whose 18 month engagement was arranged after guerillas drove her from home and she asked her fiancé to help. He arranged air travel to Canada.
