A, . .r .T‘.-..~gg'-uovquo- 16 Maple It seems that last year so many hockey fans felt that it ' was getting quite monotonous '.â€"‘»to have THAT one team al- ways out on top â€" so, the ch- amps. having the true sports- asrde this year to bring about a more man's spirit, stepped competitive league. Also know- ing every team gets that added thrill if they win a series on home ice - this same red blood- ed .crew took the Tuesday night game, thereby making it necessary for their adversaries to return home for the‘Thurs- day night game where they could accept the â€"â€" of their fans” Now how about thati!

Stung of 266 BY REV. B. 1“. ANDREW, ST. ANDREW’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH “But we trusted that - - - z and beside all this, today is the third day since ~." - Luke 24.21. Reading the Gospel story this way, sounds a lit- tle like a news caption to a story of some recent event. T 'agedy, heart-break, human chaos - these make up the items of news day after day. year after year. The sum total of human effort left to itself, for itself, can only add up to these words, “But we trusted that -” Or, “Just when we thought we were getting along so well, then all this hit us and now look at the mess." Or, “All that we had planned seemed so clever; nothing wrong with it; We Were making money and now this.” Everything seems to end up in stupid mediocrity. _ All this happened three days ago, What now? BUT GOD WAS THERE. Yes, God has a gracious way of waiting for us to find our feet. In'the midst of the noisy whirl of the day, the buzzing distracfipns, the exacting nature of our tasks, He is there. \v e know He is there for His original followers, the shints of God of Whose com~ pony we belong, joyfully left us the heartening mess- age. They too found life had its Series of shocks, life rudely shook them with its unusual astonish- ments. Yet, God was there. Because God was there, the broken things of life are given a Master touch. Kipling in his poem, L‘Envoi, has this thought beautifully expressed - When Earth’s last picture is painted, And the tubes are all twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded And the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it - Lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of all Good Workman Shall set us to work anew! And God was there. Daily the thought crosses our mind - “As in Adam all die”. Whatever little bit of glory we cherish, and we do work so hard at glamorizing our feeble efforts, still we must die. But in Christ all will be made alive. Surely his glory is for us the last and the best. May God in his mercy quietly touch you, reach you and bless you, so that you too can say. “Yes, God was there," Easter-tide RICHILDACA CAMP KETTLEBY, ONTARIO A Day Camp for Boys and Girls 4.14 YEARS OLD Swimming (modern pool), Nature Lore, Camp- craft, Canoeing, Creative Arts & Crafts, Riding, Sports & Games, Singing, Story-Telling, Overnights (for 8-14 year olds) OFFERS 4 CAMP PERIODS FOR 1963.

Board Thursday evening. A copy of the brief which has been forwarded to the minister of education, was sent to the school board with the information that a petition is being: circulated with the intention of presenting it at the April 11th meeting of the board. The meeting between the board and the committee to discuss the brief was held at the invitation of the board’s chairman, Sam Kaiser. Mr. J. Darlington acted as ary 18 your present chairman spokesman for the committee asked the Health Unit to in~ for the first hour, his duties spect the Lower Ninth school. being taken George Snider. to leave. OVQF Members of the board took exception to the com- mittee's statement in the brief that rural one-and two-room schools were be- ing discriminated against. The committee went on to outline problems in existâ€" ence in smaller schools of the area. namely Edgeley, Old Pine Grove and Lower Ninth. which they feel are of prime importance and should be taken care of be- fore the introduction of Oral French. Mrs. H. L. Snider. secretary of the committee, stated that conditions in some schools are appalling. She described con- ditions at Old Pine Grove by Mr. which was condemned. In the when he had basement room of this school the windows were nailed shut and had been for some time. in case of fire them was no way out for the children but through a door beside the fur- nace.

Grade 5 Best Mrs. Snider asked why the .ubjcct is being started in grade 5. Trustee Jolliffe re- )ortcd that the best advice 3- vailable recommended starting at that level rather than grade B so that the high school board will have four years warning to prepare to accept these chil- dren into their program. He reported that the earlier a child begins the study of a sec- ond language the easier it is to learn. Mrs. Snider reported an educator in the township as saying. “Vaughan is putting the icing on the cake before we haVe the cake." The committee claimed that the taxpayers were misled by the meeting held at Maple, the purpose of which was to ac- quaint taxpayers with a pro- posed plan to introduce Oral French into public schools, and to obtain the feeling of those present on the subject. They claim that the feeling express- ed at that meeting was ignored when the board made their de- cision on the subject. Milton Savage. former trustee. claimed these in favor and against at this meeting should have been counted. Members of the board admitted those opposed had had a slight margin, but not the two-to-one proportion claimed by the committee. Mrs. Snider pointed out that approximately 340 children in grade 5 in the township will be receiving instruction in Oral French in September at an ap- proximate cost of $41 per pupil. “Urban schools. she claimed could teach three times as many for the same money. and the board's plan is not econo- mically sound. Other things. such as libraries, reference books and scien- tific equipment are des- perately needed. Are we attempting something for which we are not ready?

Are the benefits sufficient to warrant this cost at this time when our schools need so many other things?" Answering a charge by Trus- tee Wells that this was the first organized opposition the board had heard, Mrs. Black of Jef- ferson stated that the ratepay~ crs from that area had not wanted to jeopardize their chances of securing desperateâ€" iy needed transportation for their children by taking a stand in opposition to the introduct~ ion of Oral French. Mrs. Snider said that she had followed the progress of discussion by the board and had no idea the board was giving serious con- sideration to introducing it. Mrs. Snider also severe- ly criticized the board for accepting the assurance of a small pressure group from Thornhill that they had contacted all schools in the township, and that a large percentage of par. cuts were in favour of the project. When asked how she expected the board to find out the feeling of the ratepayers. Mrs. Snider said, “Do as this commit- tee is doing. so out and talk to the people." Mr. W. Stephens, former reeve of Etohicoke, now a resi- dent on a mil-acre farm on No. 7 highway. said “The word dis. crimination may be a little strong, but the people suffering these conditions. may feel they are being discriminated ag. ainst." He proposed that the board should allow Oral French to be introduced only in the Thornhiii area on a pay- yourself basis. He stated that a petition bearing names of ratepayers from every section of the township who are oppos- ed to the introduction of Oral French at this time will be pre- sented to the April 11th meeting of the board. Both Trustees Wells and Jolliffe expressed regret that previous commit- ments will not permit them to attend this meeting. A suggest- ion that the regular meeting be postponed a week. was re- fused by Chairman Kaiscr, who said that the public is accust- omed to the meeting being held on the second Tuesday of each month and it should not be postponed. feel right at home in Acadian's super-sized ‘3 interior.
