Board Policy Secretarial, Sick Leave The management committee of York Central District High School Board brought in seve- ral recommendations at Mon- day night's meeting, which were approved. Vice-chairman Ernest Redelmeier presented the report. The first recommenda- tlon was for approval of the Department of Edu- cation’s plan for marking grade 13 papers in 1964 by making teachers available for local marking, and departmental marking. It was noted that this is the: ISA YONGE ST. sort of thing the board would - like to see more teachers doing.

G.‘ Chapman explained that the‘ department's plans are that certain parts of grade 13 exaâ€"‘ minations, especially in English‘ and modern languages, will be done by the teachers who have in‘srtructed the students. Other pa ts of the examination will be multiple choice type ques- tions which may be marked by clerks. These innovations have been prompted by the great lincrease in the number of students writing these exami- nations, in an efiort to speed up the issuing of results. The department is making an allowance to the local teachers of $1.00 per paper. In answer to a question from a} board member Mr. Chapman reported that when complete papers are marked, as has been ‘the custom, 14 papers per day ‘is the standard. Another management com- mittee recommendation dealt with the secretarial staff. This staff will include the same t h r e e categories, secretary, assistant secretary and clerk- stenographer as formerly. Each school will have one secretary, one assistant secretary. and all other office staff members will be under the clerk-stenogra- pher heading. An assistant secretary will be named on the recommendation of the superintendent in schools which have a full time clerical stafl' of two or more. All school office members will work a 35 hour week, with ‘hours being extended from 8:15 am. to 5 pm. and 8:30 to ‘4:30 pin. during school holi- Edays. All other conditions will lremain the same. All secretaries 'will receive‘ an adjustment of $200 in salary and all assistant secretaries and clerk-stenographers an adjust- ment of $100 effective January 1, 1964. The administrative offices and all school olfices will be closed from December 24 to Monday, December 30. The board’s policy regarding cumulative sick leave has been} revised effective December 16. The revision makes certain that the wording of the policy will mean the same thing to every- one, Mr. Chapman explained. The previous policy’s wording ‘was open tormore than one iinterpretation, he claimed, as [experience had proved. Another change is in calcuâ€" lation of years of service. When ‘ a teacher comes to this district with a credit in accumulated sick leave. this is converted at 20 days to a year of service. If he comes from a board which does not have a sick leave po- licy, he will receive no credit as he has lost nothing. If he comes from a board with a ‘sick leave policy. he will'get credit for service. If he has received a cash settlement from the previous board for his accumulated sick leave, then he will receive no credit from the local board. The board also granted a request from Mr. Douglas Booth, teacher of biology at the Richmond Hill High School. to visit two schools in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and take a two-day course at the Technifats Corporation at Hollyoke, Mass, from Ja- nuary 2 to 7. Mr. Booth will receive out-of-pocket expenses up to $150 and the usual train fare expen- se as if he were attending a convention. This will be charged to the 1964 account. ‘ It was noted that this is the Thirty fellow workers and members of council honoured Mr. Ross Casement, who retires from the works department at the end of the year, at a party held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bovaird Friday evening. , _ . __- . n. . n ,, ALL- 1171... chlllllfic Shown above are (left to right): Works Commissioner Otto Wha- len, Councillor Walter Scudds, Mr. Casement, Councillor Alan White, Deputy-reeve Stan Tinker, Town Clerk Russell Lynett, Reeve Floyd Perkins and Mayor William Neal.

Trustee Morley Kinnee abstained from voting on this question because of possible conflict of interest. Business Ailministrator D. J. Ashwortb reported that the costs of instruc- tion per pupil in each of the three streams of in- struction have been calcul- ated. Gross cost, which will be charged to other boards, is: academic $655, business and commercial $763, and science and technology $885. Net cost (after grants) which will be charged indi- viduals is academic $479, business and commercial $586. and science and tech- nology and trades $709. ._...a_..A_. Comparative figures of the Toronto Board of Education, which it was reported do not include the entire cost, are gross: academic $622. business and commercial $605 and voca- tional $998: net: academic 5451. business and commercial $407 and vocational $739. The costl of business and commercial‘ which is apparently lower than academic training is explained that in the city older schools are in use for this instruction with no debenture charges in- volved, and the pupil-teacher .ratio is high. to the other science teachers on what he has learned during these visits. The advisory vocationall committee report, presented by Trustee George Yates recom- mended that accommodation be provided in the proposed addi- tion to Bayview Secondary School which will be adaptable for machine shops, architectu- ral drafting, vocational art, industrial physics, general practice or merchandising. a library, home economics, gui- dance, a single gymnasium and addition to the cafeteria. Chairman Robert Ross and Trustee Lewis Clement pointed out that the trend is to build schools with flexibility. Trustee Manley Clingersmith reporting for the property com- mittee recommended that an amount of $1,000 be allocated for purchase of equipment for the maintenance shop with the approval of the business admi- nistrator and the shop supervi- sor. Chairman Ross told the board that the shop supervisor has been using his own tools for the past three years. “They need equipment badly and I think it's time we bought it for them," he concluded. A letter from the mainten- ance and caretaking staff re- questing an adjustment in the salary for matrons of $300 a year, three shirts and two pair of pants 8 year for each memb- er of the custodial staff, the maximum salary to be reached in three years. the head care- taker’s salary maximum be raised $200 per year, and the rate for firing either coal or oil be $4 per day, was referred to the management committee ‘for consideration. Chairman Ross concluded the meeting by expressing his per- sonal thanks to the board mem- bers and staff for making 1963 a successful year. The date of the 1964 in- augural meeting was set as January 6. To Sell Antiques, Furniture, Pianos, Pet Stockâ€"Anything!

A 7 The conifers, to which the Christmas trees of spruce. pine, hemlock and other varieties be- long are very oily, resinous and highly inflammable. One little spark from an open‘ fireplace or a Christmas light decoration can turn a beauti- fully ‘sparkling ornament into a blazing torch. Each year, the newspapers carry the tragic news of people, mainly children, killed with just the’ little am- ount of carelessness it takes to set off a tree. 'There are plenty of ways to‘ make the tree a source of light without overloading the elect- rical capacity. Shining metal-or- naments with light thrown on them are just as effective as the hot little tree lights in dan- ‘gerous closeness to drying :needles. If electric lights are used particularly last year's, examine them carefully for worn sock- ets or cords. As much as it is decorative. a tree left burning at night or when the family is out visiting is an invitation to trouble. If tissue or cotton batting is used, it should be fire proof. SAM COOK, Chairman Keep the tree outdoors until the last possible mo- ment, preferably in or un- der snow where it can soak up as much moisture as it can. Indoors stand the trunk in a water-filled con- tainer after slashing a few cuts in the stump.

Mr. Hoover pounced to the attack stating he felt council’s approved resolu- tion to amend the bylaw to permit racing in that part- icular area was “contrary to Section 245 of the Muni- cipal Act and I’m asking for a recorded vote on the matter.” He pointed to the portion in‘ the section stating that council should not enter into any cont- ract or obligation following the election of a new council unless it has been approved by the municipal board. An amendment to the section allows such action by the old council if three quarters of the new council is comprised of the previous year's council. Mr. Hoover claimed that such was not the case because the‘ council comprised only four‘ members (due to the death of former Reeve Wilfred Dean) and with the defeat of Deputy- reeve Allan Sumner the new council would only include three of the five former memb- ers. Reeve Charles Hooper imme- diately disagreed saying there were only four sitting members‘ at the time of the election and with only Deputy-peeve Sumner missing this made up the three- quarter requirement‘. Mr. Sumner agreed saying “three quarters of the council would be returning of the four men comprising council at the election." Mr. Hoover refused to retreat and stuck to his guns asking that “we have a recorded vote.” Admitting he was be- witched, bothered and ’slightly bewildered, Reeve Hooper said he felt “we were justified under the act in passing the resolu- tion”. ' “This is a very unusual t h i n g,” be maintained, “and I’ve never been in this position in all my years in municipal work." Mr. Hoover maintained his stand asking for a recorded vote. He also wanted a recorded Vote on the previous meeting‘s minutes. “What are we going to vote on?" wondered Township Clerk H. C. T. Crisp. “I don’t think we require a recorded vote on the minutes." .‘Deputyâ€"reeve Sumner than moved that the minutes be ac- cepted as being correct. His motion was seconded by Coun- cillor Stewart Rumble.
