How Your Body Can Beat: The Heat So efficient are the human body’s cooling units â€" a system of sweat with a wet handkerchief in very hot weather. The sweat-gland capacity of many a ride I have enjoyed on them. I have thumbed my way back and forth downtown hundreds of times and never had to stand. I meet very nice people and enjoy the ride. When thanking the driver he has also thanked me and said the drive had been a pleasure. We have frequently passed the bus I missed and left it away out of sight by the time we got to Eg- linton. There is enough room in the autos going downtown and back for all the passengers the TTC carries. I am willing and able to pay for a ride. I was told there is a system of pay- ment for auto accommodation struction and equipping of new classrooms and kindergar- ten rooms tup to the amount of $20,000 per room for construc- tion and equipment.) The De- partment of Education will pay the same grant on a kindergar- ten table and chair as on any grade seating uriit and both of these. to receive the grant, must be included in the $20,- 000 allowed as a maximum per classroom. No grant will be paid for the later reâ€"modelling or converting of rooms, parti- tioning, tackboard space, or tables and chairs, in urban municipalities with a popula- tion of over 2500. The grant for kindergarten teachers' salaries is calculated on the same basis as grade tea- to complete the Com- muniy Hall. To date, $3000 has been raised for the project. The Oak Ridges Lions Club is holding a carnival this year, the first big carnival sponstor- ed by this club. R. D.

Yours truly, Senior Citizen Re: Public School Kindergarten Dear Mr. Editor: I take this opportunity of correcting a statement given prominence in your issue of June 30, quote “There is no provincial grant on kindergar- ten rooms.” Kindergarten rooms share in the provincial ens. There were 40 more boards operating kindergartens in 1953-54 than in 1952-53. Seldom are fees charged, or kindergartens closed. In view of the above facts. Allencourt parents may well question a decision for a doub« le kindergarten room in a ten- rom school remote from them. and no kindergarten in the 12~ room school under construc- tion beside them. Why pay taxis as well as taxes? Yours truly, (Mrs. J. A.)
