There once was a mighty Af- rican lion who asked all animals he met: “Who is King of the Jun- gle?" To which they all replied: "You 0h Mighty Lion.” 2 25c Weeds, Insects, Fungi and Stump Suckering.

It will take more in pap- er work than this," commented Trustee Harold Sanderson. Chairman Clement felt there should be routines for the main- tenance of buildings and renova- tion where necessary to bring all the accommodation up to uniform standards. Based on other board’s practices he believed there should be an annual budget in the area of $20,000.00. Site Grant Small He continued, “We must look to the day when the details un- dertaken by board members will become too onerous for them. to undertake. and to provide for a staff competent to develop the work now done by board mem- bers.” (Continued from page 1) time that will permit them to undertake these functions with competence is not realistic, nor fair to future board members. We should crystallize our poli- cies so that when new board members are elected our secret- ary and other staff members at least are fully aware of the me- thods that have been used."

L. Duffin of the Department of Education the proposed ward system for Richmond Hill. Mr. Duffin in- formed him certain changes re- garding the number and election of school trustees in towns were being considered and they would be presented to the legislature probably in the next two weeks. On the school sanitation inspec- tion report from the York Coun- ty Health Unit it was recom- mended that all rooms with a southern exposure without blinds or drapes be so supplied. For the present a room at Crosby School will be supplied with a special blind to ascertain whether it will fit the needs of the classroom (including use of an opaque Dro- jector) before several other class- rooms needing window coverage are supplied also. The separate school board will be asked to get together with the public school board to decide on an award for the elementary school pupil winning the oratori- cal contests which will be held in the future to decide who will rep~ resent the town in York County Council contests. Town council will be informed of this plan. A letter will be sent to Mr. Mortson informing him of the communication from the town. County Oratorical Contest At present the Mortson line is transporting a maximum of 30 pupils to special classes at a cost of around $100.00 a‘ month. and has an agreement with the board to do so. It was questioned as to whether or not a bus operator for the town would be able to operate during the hours sched- uled by the board. SAVE 16c 6 tins 59c “The board is quite in order to write the Department and point this out”. said Superintendent McIntyre. On motion of Trustee Sanderson and Trustee J. Rabin- owitch, a letter will be sent ask- ing for reconsideration of grant on this property. Bus Franchise A letter from Councillor 'l‘. Broadhurst informed the board the town council was considering giving 'a transport company a franchise covering all transporta- tion in Richmond Hill. If this were efi'ected it would prevent the Mortson bus line from trans- porting public school pupils, ex- cept those who reside outside the town limits in U.S.S. No. 4, Vau- ghan.
