Wilbert Jennings and Mrs. Gordon Baldwin, chairman, remain in office. Ewart Jennings is the secretary-treasurer. At S.

Despite an extension of four new rooms a couple of years ago. the school population is so rapidly increasing as new subdivisions are being set up and new homes are in process of con- struction, school accomodation is a matter of great concern, Over- crowding must be alleviated, said the trustees and whether they try to build or form a new school area there is an angle from the stand- point of taxation, members of the board pointed out. Mr. Jack Blyth has made a very comprehensive survey dealing with future en- rolment over a period of the next five years which would require 13 rooms and upwards, for ade- quate accommodation_ Whit- church subdivisions point to new homes. From Lake Wilcox alone 100 are attending Oak Ridges school. At 8.8, 22, Eversley, Carlton Crossley was named new trustee, replacing Ivan Specht, in office for three years. Leonard Shropshire will be chairman and Roy Bowen remains a trustee. The ratepay- ers meeting held in the evening, December 28, was largely attend- ed. A substantial balance exists in the treasury, and no increase in school taxation is expected. Up for consideration for the coming year will be examination of «mod- ern seats and desks. James Ball will begin his 22nd year as sec- retary-treasurer of the section, The activities of the 1949 school board and the progress of stud- ents under the principalship of Mr. Paul Wagar were commended by a vote of the ratepayers.
