What does? Why, having money in the bank, of course! When you've got a nice pad of savings behind you, you can take advan- tage of sale prices. And when you spotsomething you want, you can pay cash-for it. Or, if some- one in the family gets sick, it's nice to knowthe money is right there to look after him. The fact is, everything in life looks better when you’ve got cash in the bank. And it doesn’t take long to run up a nice sum when you make small but regular deposits. Yes sir, money in the bank really does give a man that ten-feet tall feeling. Do you know where I save my money? THE BANK OF NOVA SCDTIRI Club rooms when member groups from the Central Ontario Region sent representatives to discuss aspects of the recent Festival held at Hart House Theatre. Chairman of the Groups Com- mittee, Elizabeth Gray reported that the screener had had to choose from eighteen full length plays to make up the week's bill. So close was the competition that ’ there was only a five play or a setIen play week possible. Two plays were so close that if one were chosen the other would have to be. The Regional Festival was won by the “The Killdeer" written by Canadian author James Rain- ey and directed by a University Alumnae Club member Pamela Beckwith who was described as “brilliant” by the adjudicator. The Killdeer will represent this region at the Dominion Festival in Vancouver in May and may be seen in Hart House Theatre May 5, 6, and 7. Tickets may be ob- tained by calling Mrs. J. 1. Jack- son (TU. 4-3557) or Hart House Theatre. , Groups represented at Fri- day’s meeting were the Aurora Drama Workshop, the North York Little Theatre, the Don Mills Players, the Port Credit Theatre and the Etobicoke Little Theatre, while the Curtain Club acted as hosts for the meeting. C.O.D.L. President Blanche Hogg clarified the set up ofthe Ontario Oneâ€"Act Festival, which is being run this year by, the Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce. The president felt that under the C.O.D.L. a more central festival might be arrang- ed, 'perhaps playing the finals alternately in the Western and Eastern regions. ‘ (Continued from pase 1) l'or 42 \vccks' work". Mr. Hag- !nrt said he attended the recent 0 E .\. convention and supported :: resolution that principals be re- . ("hairmin Clement - Trustees l‘mx'o supported similar resolu- tions to no axaii. Councillor Whillans said he is all for spreading out the costs of education. The burden on the homo owner is too great he said. He blamed the “hidden popula- ‘.ion" ior some of the excessive cost. He thought an enforcement officer would prove profitable. tic was referring to occupants of basement apartments contribut- ing to the hidden school popula- tion but not to the costs of edu- catin: thc children. Mayor Tomlin said dual occu- pancy assessment is the only an- su'er. Rccvc W. J. Haggart said he believed the local trustees had presented a sensible budget un- der the circumstances but he thouth as a matter of policy councils everywhere should re- fuse to accept. school budgets even at the risk of going to jail. .“This,” he said “may bring gov- ernmcnts at other levels to take action to case the burden on the home owner". “We lllif‘lli need bicccr jails." said the llnyor.

Chairman Clemcnt stressed the importance of education as a priceless ingredient of our cul- ture. Reeve Haggart agreed with the importance of education but said other things have importance too. We have to maintain our basic services, he said, roads. water- | l lworks and sewers: Chairman Clement contended our best asset is a good education- al system. “We have an above av- erage system.” he said, “but not as good as we would like". Mayor Tomlin said he was all for a fair standard of Wages but there must be some concern for the ability of the people to pay. Teachch now are receiving much more than many of the people who are paying the taxes, he said. Councillor Whillans - A good teacher should be paid more than the people who pay them. Councillor Mrs. Southwell â€" We’re paying up now for the many years when teachers were sadly underpaid. Councillor Broadhurst thought the province should set a sched- ule for teachers’ salaries. Pointing out that council faces the prospect of an increased tax rate this year Councillor Whil- lans made a plea to the trustees to postpone the renovation of the McConaghy School. “You got a1- ong this far why couldn’t it be postponed for a while,” he asked. Trustees contended the work has already been postponed too long. Councillor Mrs. Southwell suggested council members take a look at the rooms. Council gave approval for a re- quest of the board for a proposed addition to the MacKillop School of four classrooms and a general purpose room at an estimated cost of $150,000. Approval was given after many comments on the In- crease in cost. THE BRITISH CAR BUILT AND BACKED BY GENERAL MOTORS . ..

In expressing support for a motion by Reeve Haggart to re- fer the budget to the Finance Committee Councillor Broadhurst said. “I think the trustees have presented a sensible budget and under the circumstances I'll go along with referring it to the Finance Committee". Mayor Tomlin expressed thanks to the trustees for their attend- ance and explanation of the bud- get. “The budget isn‘t padded," said Trustee Sanderson, “and we pared it after we had it prepar- cd’.’ Quoting Shakespeare, Mayor Tomlin remarked. “Methinks thou dost protest too much”. Councillor Broadhurst contend- ed there is a great need for some check on the continuous rising costs of education. He presented a resolution asking the provincial government to give municipal councils the right to refuse school budgets which amount to more than forty per cent of the total levy, or when costs per pupil in- crease by more than 10 per cent. Supporting his resolution, Mr. Broadhurst contended that there must be some limit set some- where. The increased cost is lar- gely due to increased salaries. The Union knows they are deal- ing with a body with a limitless purse. His motion was seconded by Reeve Haggart but failed to get support of council. Councillor Bradstock - I don‘t favor paying our teachers \less. I think we should pay them more. It's the most important job in the community. You can replace a spring in your car. or get a new pair of shoes, but the most vital years of a child’s education can- not be replaced. Councillor Broadhurst - The most expensive education is not necessarily the best. It isn’t nec- essarily true that if we spend more we will get a better educa- tion. Council unanimously supported the Whillan motion asking the government to seek new sources of revenue for education costs to relieve the real estate taxpayer. School trustees gave assurance that should provincial grants be increased the requisition on local taxpayers will be reduced accord- ingly.
