Oak Ridges Mr. Blyth stated in his review of the year’s work that 1955 had been a comparatively quiet year as far as school operations were concerned. but pointed out that the increase in the school popu- lation made it necessary to con- sider extensions in the near fu- ture. At present there are 12 teachers and a principal and a total of 11 rooms in opration. The school year began with an enrollment of 388 but present at- Strains of Norway Spruce in- troduced to eastern Canada should be slender trees with nar- row, brushtype tops. Research at the Petawawa Forest Experiment Station suggests this type- bf Norway spruce is more resistant to damage by the white pine wee- vil than the comb-shaped spruce planted in Europe. The study is part of a long-‘ term research program by the Forestry Branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources. to breed strains of spruce adaptable to eastern Can- ada. Comparison of Norway spruce and white spruce planta- tions in eastern Canada has sug- gested that Norway spruce may be capable of higher yield and could be an important tree in fu- ture planning programs. Recommend Use Of Norway Spruce The greatest disadvantage of Norway spruce is that the tree is susceptible to damage by the white pine weevil but Forestry Branch scientists hope to counter this disadvantage by breeding weevilâ€"resistant types. The lat- est observations showed that the slender trees with narrow tops wre damaged less by weevils than stout trees with broad tops. The trees studied at Petawawa have now been propagated so the variations in their resistance to weevils may be studied and poss- ibly weevil-resistant types bred for planting in eastern Canada. In welcoming the ratepayers, Board Chairman Jack Blyth stat- ed that the Board hoped the small turnout was an indication that the past year's work of the Board had been scatisfactory. He added, however, that the Board would appreciate a larger attendance at these meetings. - Less than 15 ratepayers turned out to the annual school meeting of Union School Section 1 King and Whitchurch last Wednesday night to hear the annual report of the trustees and to elect a new trustee. When nominations were called by meeting chairman Alex Gallacher. an acclamation was ac- corded retiring Trustee Jack Blyth. Mr. Blyth will now serve a second three year term.

It was questioned whether or not incorporation would cut off students from the township, “Not necessarily,” replied Mr. Blyth. “but in any event we would still lose the township grant even if we took outside students.” Trus- tee Robert Woolley commented that it was possible to gain an element of autonomy without sacrificing the school's revenue by becoming a police village but he added that the Provincial gov- ernment frowns on such a move. Mr. Blyth emphasized the point made earlier by the Board Audi- tor who stated that comparing the debenture debt incurred by the Township on behalf of the Oak Ridges School against the poss- ible assessment available after incorporation. the community of Oak Ridges would be bankrupt to start.
