Catch is that af- ter the initial interview. the board needs to check with the Department of Ed- ucation to obtain the ap- plicant’s rating.

His feature article reads: “A few years ago, a sim- ple, inexpensive blueprint for downtown rejuvenation blaz~ ed briefly across the Hamilton scene, showering businessmen with sparks of enthusiasm. “It disappeared without a trace. Norwich Plan “Basically, the plan mere- ly involves sprucing up stores, ripping down unsight- ly overhead signs, carrying out minor repair work and using a little soap and elbow grease on brick and stone work. “Repainting is carried out under the eye of a general overseer who designs color schemes to blend attractive- ly in the overall project. Where possible, street lamps and similar essential ser- vices are attached to build- ings in an unobtrusive manner. "When the project was completed in Norwich, it was found that the average cost per storekeeper was less than $200. “Businessmen there soon discovered they had backed a winner. Reports of the success spread rapidly and before long cities all over the world were at Norwich’s “This was the Norwich Plan, a technique created by Britain's Civic Trust and given a trial run in Norwich to put new life into the city's shoddy, lack-lustre downtown core. What Happened T o Norwich Plan? The board also decided at their meeting to approach the Albion Hills Conservation SPh'JOl with a view to having a group of approximately 40 students attend the school for a week in 1965. At the recommendation of the advisory vocational committee, the superinten~ dent was asked to make a report on the feasibility of constructing a special voc- ational school.

Richmond Hill Despite this, he continues, the committee plans to work in co-operation with those who have indicated their willingness to co-operate with it and hopes that by force of example, something better than presently exists can be brought about. It is their intention to supply planters for trees to owners or tenants of co-operating students now enrolled in the two year occupations courses, where choice of courses is now extremely limited. stores, whose contribution in that part of the endeavour will be that they will buy and maintain the trees them- selves once the planters are supplied by the committee.

Co-oper- ation in the latter aspect is what is so badly needed, the mayor reports. “Among them was St. Thomas which, in 1962, was ready to grab at anything that offered half a solution to declining downtown sales. “The city’s board of trade took a copy of the film and started discussing the idea with merchants and city offi- cials. “It was decided that cus- tomers were being driven away to the glitter of new shopping centres by the shabby, decrepit appearance of downtown store fronts. “Overhanging signs were replaced by storefront signs which emphasized the com- modity sold, rather than the store own r's name.
