However, it is felt that in the case of minor organizations, their requests cannot be filled. Each individual application will be carefully reviewed by the Board before any decision is reached. Mr. Bert Barber was appointed as a committee of one to explore the possibility of erecting bicycle racks at the school”) The number required would be fifty for the boys and fifteen for the girls. Mr. Walter Scott, the school principal, suggested that some ac- tion should be taken to stop the practice of certain students car- ving their initials on the school’s new desks. The Board showed con- cern over the matter and decided to cover the expense of sanding down and repainting the damaged furniture. However, in the future the parents of the guilty parties will be! asked to bear the expense of removing their child- ren’s initials. The final item of business was a motion requesting the Village Co'uncil toacknowledg‘e immediate- ly the Board’s requests to have er- ected at the north and south ends of the Village, school signs desig- nating it as a school area. This step was taken in order to ensure the safety of the school children. The second group of parents, Dr. Martin said are called “The Bell- owers,” the ones who explode when “son” forgets to put away the garbage pail which father runs 0V- er in the drive with the car, or when daughter forgets to bring home the supper because she is thinking more of “Sir Galahad" than “sir-loin.” He advised them to do what he had to do, keeo a little note book where they would look at it often, either in their compact or money pocket. Group 3 were “The Haunters” whom he illustrated by the type of mother who scares away daugh- ter’s boy friends. He advised the young people to form groups, and when at one another’s homes not to be boisterously noisy or sus- piciously quiet. Mr. Pool thanked Doctor Martin “for giving us parents such gom‘. advice" and felt everyone had erg- joyed every word of the talk. During the evening- accounts to,- tallirjg $1,109.43 were passed by “Now when I was a boy,” or “When I was a girl.” He advised the teen-agers to put themselves in the place of their parents and listen to the stories of their young days, Which, he said, would take mother and dad back in memory until they would see their children’s point of view. He stressed they must keep their bargain to the let- ter‘ though if they expected fur- ther favours. Next Mr. Bell presented school pins to: Linda Bell, Helen Boyes, Patricia.

Delightful refreshments were then served by the social con‘lenor Mrs. D. Robeson, assisted by the Home and School members and senior girls. The members of the Richmond Hill Council took drastic action at their Tuesday night meeting when they passed a motion in- structing their solicitor to start expropriation proceedings against a promsed easement across the Mills territory.
