Round-The-World Fair Trustees Want Ratepayers Vete On Oral French “This is once again where a de- cision made in committee meeting has been reversed," stated Chairman Kaiser. “You all told the people you were in favour of Oral French in 1963. ‘ That was my opinion at the Mrs. Robertson’s motion was sec- onded by Mrs. Dorothy Robertson of Pine Grove and supported by Mr. Wm. Kerr. Chairman Sam Kaiser and Trustee Terry Goodwin voted against the motion. ' Mrs. Robertson went on to say however, that as she was retiring from the board at the end of the year. she did not feel she could commit any other board to putting the Oral French teaching into effect. “I feel this should not be an election issue for those running for election,” she stated. “I feel that if I put this mo- tion to a vote. it will throw the ques- tion into the laps of the ratepayers." Mrs. Robertson noted that after several meetings with approximater 30 parents representing home and school associations in the township during the summer and fall members of the board had been polled and that none was opposed to the introduction of the Oral French. “I even laughing- ly agreed to introduce the necessary motion at this meeting myself,” she stated. , On a motion made by Trustee Mona Robertson of Elgin Mills at the November 8th meeting of the Vau- ghan Township School Area Board, the board voted 3 .to 2 to have the question of whether or not to have Oral French I taught in Vaughan 'tI'ownship put to a vote of the elec- ors.

Hayes on the subject “deplorable con- ditions at Patterson School”. Mr. Hayes submitted that in spite of assurances given the parents of Patterson School pupils last June. that conditions at Patterson would be corrected, nothing has'been done. His written submission to the board detailed the following: the chemical toilets create an over-powering odour and suggest a possible health hazard; the water at the school remains un- drinkable; conditions of floors and bathrooms “can only be described as filthy and responsibility for supervis- ing day to day cleaning seems to be non-existent.” Trustee Mona Robertson suggest- ed that if the front half of the town- ship wanted the Oral French that it could be given to them and not to the back half. Trustee Goodwin object- ed heatedly to this. “This is con- trary to all we have held out for for so long. What is good for one sec- tion is good for all,” he maintained. When asked for a statement fol- lowing the meeting, Mrs. L. Trow of the Oral French committee said that the committee was aghast that mem- bers of the board had reversed their former statements. I did not think people in public office would do such a thing. I consider their actions quite irresponsible,” she stated. Trustee Goodwin instructed the secretary to record his dissent to the motion. “Not one person came to the public meetings objecting to this,” he stated. time and I am still of the same op- inion.” “The Liberal" Is always pleased to publish items of interest contributed by its readers in the Thoruhill are: - - - - - - a Our representative in Thornhill is Mrs. Margaret McLean. who may be reached by phoning AV. 5-2331.

Not so, how- ever. they filed tentative plans to disappear up the bayous if things got really rough, but went about and enjoyed a sup- erlative holiday. Kay report-s that there was no apparent pa- nic down there, just little kmots of people gathered around TV sets - same as here. Anyway. she has come to expect these things, The last time she went on a big holiday like this, the Hungarian uprising took place and the time before that they got away just before Hurricane Hazel hit hereabou-ts.

So you see I can‘t get to everything and would be glad to have a phone call from anyone with any little items to re- port. It would be nice if all the organizations in the district would appoint a publicity director who could call after every meeting and tell us what went on. It appears that the Patterson School maintenance is in the hands of a 16 year old graduate of the town- ship’s opportunity class who had been hired on a temporary basis to see if he could do the work. Secretary N. C. Jackman admitted that the custod- ian had not done his job 100%. Mr. Jackman stated that repairs to the window had been ordered and also that the loose light fixture had been ordered repaired. He advised that they had had an insurance adjuster up to the building to see if the crack- ed plaster and loose fixture were be- cause of the Maple explosion. He statâ€" “I am ashamed that this report has come here tonight. These condi- tions shouldn’t exist.” stated Trustee Mona Robertson. Chairman Kaiser admitted that the board had promis- ed the parents washroom facilities and that they would explore the pos- sibility of drilling a well. He stated however, “My opinion has not chan- ged. I still think a school without bathroom facilities should not be op- erating.” Trustee Goodwin advised that a chlorinator had been installed at the school and three others in the town- ship and that the water was now up to standard. He apologized for the poor maintenance at the school. In addition, it was stated that a window had remained broken for weeks, a ceiling fluorescent light ap- pears ready to fall to the floor and seemed so hazardous that the teach- er had had the children move their desks from underneath it; measure- ments had been taken for blinds last June but have never been received and no interior painting has been done for at least three years.

Thornlea News CORRESPONDENT: MRS. B. LEPKEY Phone AV. 5-3489 The board theh heard a delega- tion from George Bailey School who asked permission to transport 25 He stated also that the board was concerned with the life of the facili- ties at other schools in the township and until they had some indication on this, he was not prepared to spend any money on the Patterson School. "I feel it would be the most economi- cal and most beneficial step to look into the closing of the four schools in the township which do not have proper facilities." Chairman Kaiser thanked Mr. Hayes for bringing the matters to the board’s attention and stated that they would be given top priority. Trustee Goodwin estimated that it wOuld cost approximately $2,500 to put toilet facilities in the basement of the school and at least another $1,- 500 for a well. To this would have to be added the c0st of a septic tank and tile bed as well as the cost of some means of raising the wastes up to ground level. Total cost would prob- ably be around $5,000. To put the toilet facilities at ground level would mean an addition to the building and would cost in the neighbourhood of $10,000.00. With respect to the lack of bath- room facilities in the school, all the members of the board agreed the conditions were deplorable. Trustee Kerr stated that he was honestly am- azed that the Patterson parents want- ed the school to stay open and noted that in Purpleville where he came from. no one had objected to the clos- ing of the school. ed that he had first been advised ab- out the loose light fixture on Novem- ber 1st.
