Vandorf O.P.P. reported Mr. Thompson. 61-yearâ€"old King City resident, emerged un- hurt after the train caught the extreme rear of his 1950 Mercury truck and caused damage beyond the vehicle’s value. When it was tossed into the ditch, the truck knocked down a railway x-shaped warning sign. Damage includ- ed a broken rear axle. Constable James Tree, in- vestigating. noted the building at the south-west portion of the crossing would give an eastbound driver a short view of a train from the south. The three-dcisel freight had about forty empty freight cars. The crossing has no barrier or wig-wag signal.

Accommo- dation is adequate. There‘s a qualified teacher in charge, with helper. I suggest of the parents 10f 60 eligible children, there are 11 parents who think kindergar- ten is expedient. If the rest thought it expedient they could afford the $12 a month. We could not school them as cheaply as ,that,” Mr. Tetley stated. Taxed For High School He reminded that the reeve had asked school boards to keep costs down. “No doubt the high school will be felt on all our tax bills." Mr. Tetley presented his annual I report, covering maintenance and improvement of schools. ‘We are proud of the staff. Their excell- 'ence at both schools is borne out by the inspector‘s report". He mentioned Mrs. Gardiner as sup- ply teacher and said Mrs. Lorne Scott, who had taken a special remedial course, was helping 26 pupils. He paid warm tribute to Sec- retary-treasurer Raymond Burt, heavy because all trustees work elsewhere. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Dixon are doing yeoman service as caretakers.” Mr. Tetley said the only in- debtedness on the new $45,000 addition was $23,900, which was expected to be liquidated by govâ€" ernment grant. He doubted many schools had a new $110,000 build- ing debt-free and credited the achievement to “shrewd thinking of previous school boards”. He expressed appreciation to the Anglican Church, Which pro- vided two months’ excellent ac- commodation for two classrooms until the addition was completed. “The future looks good. I don’t know if we want N.H.A. to get busy or not,” commented Mr. Tet- ley. He said current enrolment is 329, plus 18 from Eversley School. “The ideal per room is 35 and we are hoping this year we won’t have to build”. The trustee praised efforts of Mr. Aubrey Gordon, who had been trustee for six years, and a new trustee, Mr. Fred Patter- son, who had to resign when he was transferred to Montreal. Mr. Tetley explained, “The function of a school board is, in to see that the school is properly”. run taxes were reasonable. he said.

He did not want the board to depart from the building policy of using careful planning, thrift. government grants and a little extra from school taxes. Mr. Whalley estim- ated “kindergartens would up the mill rate by 5 or 6 mills. If kindergartens could be gotten painlessly financially, we would have been all for them." He said the Department of Ed- ucation would not permit the Patton School basement to be used for a classroom. “It is not fair to ask older people with fix- ed incomes to subsidize the new generation". He pointed out it costs $187 to send one child to school a year, the money partly covered by grants and by those not sending children to school “We owe them a debt of gratitude and should not ask them to go be- yond present contributions in or- Whulley Sim-Is Ninth 'I'erm ordons, Orr, Tetley Elected School Section 2 Board '6I Large Attendance Told No Kindergarten-Yet Demands for kindergartens in King City were heat- .edly debated at the postponed meeting of School Section 2 Board. Instead of the usual dozen, 40 parents crowded the senior classroom in Eva L. Dennis School and heard Board Chairman Mr. Gordon Tetley explain the chief obstacle,. money. “There are no kindergartens in King Township, and Mr. Robert McLeod thanked trustees for studying figures and being practical. Examine School Area Village Trustee Ronald Bolton asked about a school area. Mr. Whalley, who was chairman for the township area committee, re- ported nothing concrete or final had been resolved. “A great deal of exploration has gone into it. It might facilitate a lot more in accommodation and would always cost a price." He repeated, “We need the type of assessment that makes these things possible." Mr. Tetley had a final comment on kindergartens. “Don’t feel you have to badger us,” he told par- ents. “It is very much in our minds. They will always be a high priority and will come as soon as we feel they are expedi- ent." One mother suggested teach- ers elsewhere discriminate ag- ainst those not kindergartenâ€" traincd when sorting classes. Mr. Tetley felt other factors such as age and ability accounted for Grade 1 grouping. ,The general feeling was kindergartens were “inevitable”. Mr. Herbert Ross presided as two trustees were elected. Mr. Gordon Orr was nominated by Mrs. Laura Rolling and seconded by Mr. Aubrey Gordon for a three-year term. Mr. Ralph Loney nominated Mr. Tetley to complete two years of the term started by Mr. Patterson and Mr. McLeod was seconder. Mr. Burt read minutes from the first annual meeting in 1873. He read minutes and the financial statement covering 1960 and the auditor's report for 1959. Of the original $73,000 in two debentures, $57,000 was reported owing. Fire insurance on Doris M. Patton School is $87,500 on the building and $7,500 contents. Eva L. Dennis School carries $100,000 on the building and $10,000 on contents. Mr. Burt reported insurance coverage of $100,000 casualty; $1,200 burglary; $2.500 secretary's bond, and $1.35 per pupil with Canadian Health and Accident Insurance. Interested in teachers’ salaries, one mother was told they ranged from $3,100 minmum to $5,000 maximum. Entering his ninth year as trustee, Mr. Whalley will be chairman of the 1961 board.
