We have tried four times to get mu- sical instruction in Kleinburg. At Kelnburg school they are taught only a little singing â€" not mu- siq_" argued Mrs. Hogg. Mrs. Hogg said her feeling, af- ter'thinking over the matter, was that all non-profit making activ- ities should be allowed to use the schools free, even teachers giv- ing music lessons. The original motion stemming from a previous committee meetâ€" ing, was that Scouts. Guides, Brownies and Cubs be charged $1.00 per month; specially re- quested meetings be $5.00 for the first three hours, $2.00 per hour after; adult welfare and educa- tional organizations be charged $2.50 for four meetings. All per- mits for meetings be granted to May alst. Requests must be made especially for meetings in June. No meetings to be scheduled in the schools during July and Au- gust. Trustee Mrs. Robertson felt if there were to be any charges they should be on a flat rate to elimin- ate ‘excessive punk-keeping. Stating “We need more com- munity activities, not fewer. and even a nominal charge says 'come if you must but you’re not wel- come’," Trustee .Mrs. Hogg said she was now advocating that wel- fare and educational activities, in fact any use of the school for teaching the children or adults, be granted use of the classrooms free of charge. ing the second Thursday; Man- agement committee, Chairman Mrs. Hogg, third Thursday; and property committee, Chairman Mi.
