No. 21 Vaughan and No. 4 Markham at the annual Jefferson Public School ratepay- ers )meeting Wednesday night of last week. Mr. Kerwin succeeds John Passmore who terminated a six- year period of office on the school board. During the general discussion which preceded the election Jim Matkin stated he was not satis- fied with the way notice of rate- payers' meetings was given and said, ‘I want a post-card sent to every ratepayer regarding meet- ings.” At the present time every schOol child is given an official notice to take home to the par- ents and secretary Norman Bur- nett posts three notices in var- ious public places as well as running an advertisement in the Liberal. Mr. Matkin said there were many ratepayers on the back concession who should have a say in school affairs and he thought a notice through the mail would bring them out to the meetings. John Passmore told the meet- ing that the system of mailing notices had been carried out on two previous occasions but had been discontinued, adding, “We didn’t get any more response then than we do under the pres- ent system. However, since there has been such an increase in the population in this dis- trict, I would like to see it tried again.” , ._ . - n “a Mrs Mary Terry, chairman of the Bbard, then presented the Financial Statement dated Dec. 20, 1954, which showed: Receipts Bal. on hand, Dec. 31, 1953 Prov. of Ont., grant .

Mrs. Terry spoke of the inaug- uration of a Parents’ Night at the school with its resulting ben- efits to parents, teachers and school children. She also in- formed the meeting that a fire- escape had been installed in the old school, which formerly had only the one means of egress. The chairman thanked all those who had taken an inter- est in helping the school children during the past year, including Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown and Fred Day who organized sev~ eral skating parties last winter, and Mr. G. L. Alexander who sponsored the pre-Christmas skating night at the Unionville at the Unionville indoor rink. Referring to the teaching problem, Mrs. Terry stated the “MW‘ will be faced with the hir- ing of two new teachers at the school next September owing to the addition which is now being planned. Arthur Gibson asked how far the program on the ex- tension had gone along and Mrs. Terry said, “It has been approv- ed by the ratepayers and we are now waiting for the approval of the Board of Education and the council of the township of Vau- ghan, before tenders can be is- sued.” It is expected the addi- tion will be ready for occupan- Cy in September. Proceeding to the election of a new trustee to replace John Passmore, Mrs. Terry said, "We are very sorry Mr. Passmore is resigning. He has been on the school board for the past six years and a big vote of thanks is due to him for all his fine work for the school and the ratepay- ers. n Called upon to make a final speech, Mr. Passmore said he well remembered the night six years ago when he had been e1- ected. There were about 1 2rate- payers present, the customary number in those days, and he was a little dubious about tak- ing office as he had never servâ€" ved on a school board previous- 1y. But the six years which have been crammed with the problems of building a new school to re- place the old one built 90 years ago have apparently proved both interesting and stimulating, for in spite of Mr. Passmore’s state- ment that, “Scarcer a day will go by that something has not got to be settled when building a new school", he closed by stat- ing, ‘1 can honestly say I- am leaving the board with a great deal of regret”, and he assured the continuing members of the board that if he could help them in any way he would be glad to do so. Following the counting of ballots by scrutineers Darrell Goulding and Wm. Bell. It was announced by the chairman that the new trustee, Ross Kerwin had won his office with 34 votes to his opponent’s 5 Jack H'all then nominated Ross Kerwin as the new trustee for 1955 to 1958 and F. Day nom- inated Bert Phelps. ...--- -.-u-.o vare )peration [aintenance .... ce stration Disbursements .......... .......... ......... y ........ III-occult (music) . . ;worth . . . . nett . . . . . .
