He replied that the additional per pupil grant in Vaughan Township would amount to a total of $15,000 per year, no particular allocation has been made of the funds Mr. Gib- son stated but he was not sure when the increase would start.

The article stated that three groups of children had been set up, one group taught French by means of films, one by the oral method; and a third group who had no French. It was found that the two groups who had spent part of their classroom time on French had apparently not suffered unduly as far as their other subjects went, in com- parison with the control group who had had no French. It was also found that the classes taught by the oral method did better than those using films. The article stressed that there must be some continuity in the teach- ing of French between grades 8 and 9 if the benefit of the training was not to be lost. The report indicated that while the survey was by no means conclusive, results were such that they recommended a continua- tion of the experiment. 1' NEW PLYMOUTH, CHRYSLER or VALIANT AT TU. 4-7381 A poll of the various members of the school board four out of five mem- bers professing themselves as in fa- vour of having the French taught in the schools, although they all fore- saw some difficulties. Mrs. Dorothy Robinson wondered if the township was “ready for it at this time". She felt French instruction should start by Grade 4 but that there hadn’t been enough research into the matter and that up to the present there had not been enough co-operation between public and high school boards. 1,4“ Tfififee UMrs. Mona Robertson. while expressing herself in favour of CORNER YONGE & LEVENDALE RD.

NEAL such a program, felt that the budget could not stand the additional expense this year and that the question should be looked into more thoroughly. “I can't see it going in yet," she said. It was pointed out however, that while there would be very little dis- location in the high school French classes this year because the Grade 9 students from T.S.A. No. 1 Mark- ham had had French instruction only since Easter. by next year there would be a group entering high school who had had Oral French for more than a year, which would put these students far ahead of the rest of the students who had not had this. It; was suggested that rather than de- laying, the Vaughan Board should move as quickly as practicable.

The point was also raised, that many of the difficulties between na- tions in the world today were often the result of lack of communication and that if by helping to give the children of Vaughan Township even a slight proficiency and confidence in a second language this lack of com- munication between peoples could be overcome in any small degree, this would be highly beneficial: The board was strongly urged to get in contact with other boards who have instituted Oral French progâ€" rams, especially the Oakville Board of Education who have had such a pro- gram for several years and would be more fully informed, especially with the effect on the students’ progress in high school French after one or more years’ Oral French teaching in public school. -_. 1“ Chairman Kaiser assured those present that the board had every in- tention of doing this and set a date of October 4th when the board would meet again with the Oral French committee to advise them of their findings and their decision.

Only an area around his thighs and the soles of his feet were left un- touched, he said. He attributed cause of death to burns and blast injuries. Mr. Joslin died at 8.45 pm. Sunday at North York's Bran- Coroner Lauds Victim Dr. R. F. Warren was the sur- geon on call at Branson on the evening Mr. Joslin was brought there. According to Dr. Warren, the patient was still conscious when he first examined him, although he must have been in great pain. Thinking Joslin was unconsâ€" cious. he remarked to a nurse that “This looks like propane burns." Mr. Joslin defended propane, “There’s nothing wrong with propane, if it’s used right," he told the doctor. Arnold P. Yoneyama, a civil engineer from the Department of Labor, came up with a plaus- ible explanation and sequence of events for the explosion. How- ever, he emphasized that it was only conjecture; He speculated that a leak had developed in a tank car parked in the northeast corner of the Superior Propane property. Es- caping gas had found a source of ignition and caught fire. 7 Pieces of metal from the tank car probably struck other tanks, causing further explosions, he said. The flames probably followed the gas back to the car, he sug- gested. This increased the pres- sure in the tank and caused the explosion. This looks like propane 235 51123; After hearing all the witness- es during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the rustic setting of Mart Kenney’s Ranch near Woodbridge, the inquest moved to Vaughan Township Council Chambers in' Maple where the coroner‘s jury heard Dr. Cotn-am sum up the evidence and came up with their verdict.
