The entire scene takes place ir the little fishing village of Henne's Point, where Bill Smith and hir daughter Ann reside and where Bi]1 owns and'operates a small fishine industry, which owing to Bill’s old fishioned equipment has not ‘been paying well. On this account Bill has been forced to mortgage the place, the mortgage being held by Hayden Henderson, a. wealthy banker from the neighbouring- town of Pallsburg whose son is quite a young man around town and who is a rath- er lazy young fellow who does no- thing besides help his father spend his money by driving expensive mot- or boats.

CARD 0F THANKS EU CHRE Wife and Famfiy I was astonished to read in your last week‘s issue a neWs item re- garding the Richmond Hill Board of Education which would make it ap- pear that the Department of Educa- ‘tion had instructed the village coun- ‘cil to advise the school board to reâ€" organize. Of course any such sug- gestion is erroneous. The informa- tion the Department of Education furnished was given direct to the School Board: in answen to its own request. The fact that the Reeve obtained the same information in no way alters the fact that action on the matter by any body outside of the school ‘board was a gratuitous act of discourtesy, and meddlesome interference. Editor, The Liberal Sir:â€" The true picture of the situation is as follows. For more than sixty years the Public and High School trustees of Richmond Hill have 0p- erated as a Union Board of Educa- tion, presumably under the author- ity of a section of the School Act, which provides for such boards. The Board has functioned with satisfac- tion and I think without objec~ tion until recently when it was sug- gested that the Board was not legâ€" ally constituted. At the first meeting of the Board for 1937 held on January let this suggestion was fully discussed, and, since it was the unanimous- wisb of all members present to continue to operate as one Board as at present if such is legally possible, and. since there was nothing in the recent a- mendments to the School Act which changed the statue of the Board, and, since it seemed almost unthink- able that the Board had not been properly constituted in the beginn- ing, a chairman was appointed (which happened to 'be the writer), and he and Messrs. Skeele and Buchanan were appointed as a com- mittee to discover if possi’ble the facts surrounding the formation of WNMWWWMMW PAUL E.

No further business was transacted and the Board adjourned to meet again at the call of the Chair for the con- sideration of the Committee’s report as soon as this-would be available. The Committee waited upon the Deputy Minister on Monday, Janu- ary 26th and were informed that be- cause the Public School area of Rich- mond Hill comprised parts of the townships of Markham and Vaughan as well as the village, While the High School area included only the vill- age, the Public and High School Trustees, do not in fact represent the same municipalities, and there- fore do not come under the section of the School Act which authorizes Union Boards. After a full discus- sion the Deputy Minister stated that since we wished to centinue to act as one board he would like a few days to consider whether there was any way our wish could! be made ilegal under the present law, and lthe writer agreed to call on Thurs- Iday morning, January 28th to get his decision. In the meantime‘ a Special meeting of the Board was called for the same night, January ‘28th for the purpose of considering lthe committee’s report. The meeting was duly held and on report of the committee the Trustees divide into two boards. and will for the present at least opero ate as separate Public and High School Boards of Trustees. In view of the facts set out ahove, and of the further fact that the Reeve of the village was by cour- tesy of the committee present )at the above mentioned interview with the Deputy Minister it seemed to me an amusing thing, that information ask‘ ed for by the School Board should be made avai}anle to the press by any party noi a member of the Board before the schedule& time of a meeting of the Board called for the special purpose of discussing the said information.
