Insurance occupied much of the agenda at the regular bi- weekly meeting of Richmond Hill Public School Board Thurs- day night of last week. The board debated the merits of increased boiler insurance.

Toronto Chairman Walter Hutchinson said the board already carried fire and liability insurance. and added the boiler premium “sounds like a real bargain. but ...” “Why did the auditor suggest we increase it?” asked Trustee Phyllis Hawkcs. "He must have had a reason." Mr. Service suggested the board increase its coverage on another disabilityI policy. and moved it maintain its present boiler coverage. "If we‘re going to carry $500.- 000. il. should be on liability.“ said Chairman Hutchinson. Mr. Service then added an amendment to his motion re- commending that an ad hoe committee be appoimed to in- vestigate the general liability policy. The board also moved that the ad hoc committee investigate a student accident policy distri- buted through the schools, and which was the subject of a fea- ture story in “The Liberal”. The article detailed the case of a Richmond Hill family, which tried to claim on its policy after a six-yearâ€"old mem- ber of the family had suffered a broken thigh when hit by a car. The policy covers all the boilers in the school system. The liability policy is for $250,- 000. Trustee David Service said the boiler poricy premium was “cheap, but not giving us any- thing we haven‘t got now." â€" because it said it wasn‘t liable where the insured was covered by a policy with an- other company. as opposed to increased liability insurance. and also discussed a story in last week‘s “Liberal”, dealing with an insurance plan distributed through the schools. In the matter of boiler in- surance. a recommendation was received from the board's audi- tor that its policy be increased from 3100.000 to $500000 at a three-year premium of $1,635.60. an increase of $120 period for the latter. Inspector Murray Dobson said that school principals dis- cussing ‘this matter recently felt that distributing these poli- cies was an imposition on their time. Trustee Deena Simpson said there was a “great deal of con- fusion" in the minds of parents regarding such policies. However. there was no clause in the Northern policy stipulat- ing that. Mr. Hutchinson said the board had felt the policy provided a service worth offering to the parents, but if there was some doubt about it. it should be in- vestigated. However, Mr. Hutchinson said he didn't think the staff was in- volved too much, as members only had to distribute the forms to the chlidren; any money transactions were handled by the parents.

The sale was held at the Lions Hall on two dates. the evâ€" ening of April 11 and from 10 am to 4 pm on April 12 with good crowds both times. An extra attraction on Wednesday was the tasty snack luncheon on the mezzanine which was well patronized by town bus- iness people, teachers and others, doing a roaring business which saw the attractive plates each bearing sandwiches, salad and a tart, disappear briskly. Altogether. 300 lunches were sold.

Today you can join picket lines protesting V iet- nam, racial discrimination. high food costs, low wages. or just about anything you want. The person who said this is the age of specialization was probably a professional picket who was only too aware of the vast assortment of protests tak- ing! place throughout the country. Well. once again I sat down and tried to figure what the topic of discussion for this week’s column should be. Who should I cut up this week or what government policy should I criticize? It was then that I began to wonder if the whole thing was such a good idea. I know most people believe that good constructive criticism is the backbone of our way of life. but I'm begin- ning to wonder if perhaps there aren’t just too many people doing too much complaining. It seems that no matter which way you turn there is somebody protesting against something or other and where we once joined social organiza- tions, it is now the “in” thing to be able to identify with some radical group voicing its disfavour with pretty well everything. The more I think about it, the more I’m con- vinced that it's a kind of sickness that gets in your system and begins to control your thoughts. I’m sure it's not a good thing but I’m afraid I don’t know the solution. I’m not suggesting we all withdraw into our own little shells, but then I don't think we should go to the other extreme either. I'm afraid I don't know quite where we should draw the line. I don’t think the situation would be half as bad if so many of us didn’t leave our criticisms as just criticisms. It is one thing to openly voice our displeasure but it’s something else again to go out and actually do something about it. As has been said many times, actions speak louder than words. If this whole column sounds just a bit con- fused this week. it’s simply because that‘s exactly how I feel right now. 1 have always been very critical of radicals who go about the countryside complaining of this and that, and quite suddenly I realized that I might just be one of these people. I think it’s about time that all of them. in- cluding myself, started looking for the happier side of life and perhaps make what’s left of the world just a slightly more pleasant place in which to live.

Another popular corner was the outdoor living patio where attractive plants, everything from exotic tropicals to sturdy geraniums found ready buyers. Children were not forgotten either and a long table was cov- ered with children’s books. toys and games as well as larger pieces such as rocking horses‘ doll (-ribs and the like. Adult books too were readin snapped up at from 10c 10 30c and a table full of colorful jewelry and earrings attracted a large number of shoppers. A hat bar with a wide array of gay millinery also was a point. of interest. ‘ The affair was convened by the ways and means committee of the “YW” under the chair- manship of Mrs. Norman Todd. Members of the committee each of whom was in charge of a different booth were Mrs. M. Maitland, Mrs. G. Halliday. Mrs. D. Plaxton, Mrs. E. Wight, Mrs. L. Donges, Mrs. J. Brad- shaw, Mrs. K. de la Barre, Mrs. B. Mann, Mrs. E. Steel, Mrs. P. Bedford. Mrs. A. Hughes. Mrs. P. Miller. Mrs. D. Fraser. Mrs. E. Ferguson. Mrs. B. Service. Mrs. D. Little and Mrs. E. More prosaic articles were found on a table of kitchen- wares. Here a quantity of small electrical appliances were snap- ped up almost immediately and there were any number of pieces of handy kitchen equipment from soap dishes to saucepans. In contrast, the "Counuy Store” offered homey bottles of pickles and preserves, lovely yellow cheese and tangy hum- bugs. Close by, a table of an- tiques displayed a delicate wine decanter, handsome silver and many pieces of dainty old china.
