These last several days, the world has held its breath whilst Winston Spencer Chur- chill fought the last of a lifetime of fights _ and the only one that all knew was sure to end in defeat. He could not yield easily, even to the adversary whom none can conquer, for such was not his nature. He fought death as he fought all else â€" with courage. with vigor and. one suspects. perhaps with even the wry humor that always lay dormant just beneath the surface. What can be said of Chur- chill that would do him jus- tice, except by another Churchill?

It was reported that the board had been approached by the business administrator of York Central Hospital to establish such a course. Subsequent in- vestigation with the Depart- ment of Education and the Col- lege of Nurses had revealed that such a course was feasible. The College of Nurses had in- spected the facilities for clini- cal experience at York Central Hospital'and had examined the proposed space in Bayview Sec- ondary School. In presenting the report of the advisory vocational committee. Trustee Morley Kinnee stated, “this course seems to be something that will fit into our community and in view of the short- age of nurses we felt we I should recommend it.” The course will have a ca- pacity of 20 girls in grades 11 and 12, who will spend half their time in academic studies a quarter in clinical work at the school and a quarter in clinical Work at the hospital, it was ex- plained. The student will re- ceive both a registered nursing assistant's and a high school graduation diploma after com- pleting grade 12 work. “The committee feels this course is of sufficient importance to war- rant inclusion in School if at all possible,” Mr. Kinnee stated.

The board accepted his resignation with deep regret and expressed ap- preciation of Mr. Elson‘s services to the school sys- tem and to the community during a period of great growth and rapid expansion. Mr. Elson. who has reached the retirement age set by the board, came to take over the principalship of Richmond Hill High School 17 years ago. .At that time there was one high school serving the dis- trict, which now has five secondary schools, and total enrolment was approxim- ately 220. In 1949 this had risen to 280. When Thomhill Second- ary School was formed nine years ago, Mr. Elson be- came its principal, and has seen this school grow from an original enrolment of slightly over 400 to 1700.

The greatness of Churchill re- quired a world for its stage, a canvas of continents for its bold and brilliant colors. but the seed of greatness is within all of us and can find expression in many less spectacular ways. This per- haps is one of the lessons he had to teach us. This per- haps is how a great man lives on after death. This per- haps is our own true immor- tality.

A proposal by Deputy-reev Stewart Rumble that council- lors and committee members he paid through kept minutes of committee meetings, was liken- ed to “having Service’s watch- dogs in North York,” by Coun- cillor Cleary Palmer. Councillor Cleary. who made his remarks following the dep- uty's motion. was referring to Reeve James Service’s recent proposal â€" which has now been temporarily shelvedâ€"to appoint a committee to keep track of North York Council members' doings during the year. "If you haven't enough con-l fidence in us to call meetings‘ and report as before, then you shouldn’t call any meetings,” said Mr. Palmer. “It’s like having Service'l watchdogs in North York. Be~ fore you know it, you're ap- pointing watchdogs to watch watchdogs " The deputy’s motion was ca:- ried 3-1. with only Mr. Palmer dissenting. MARKHAM VILLAGE: C.
