It made a ‘tremendous difference" to a room, he said, and was “very impres- sive." “Is there anything parti- cularly wrong with the floor in the library?" asked Trus- tee Deena Simpson. The matter arose last week when Vice-Chairman Jack Knott suggested the board look into the matter of pricâ€" ing carpeting for the lib- rary'. The board had consid- ered it briefly once before during renovations at the school. Crosby Heights Senior School's new library has passed muster in most re- spects, but Richmond Hill Public School Board is still having trouble deciding whether broadloom or books should be the decor. 5c a.

Trustee Charles Wortman said the board had been spending a lot of money on books. Now it hode to proâ€" vide a proper environment: that had proved valuable in other places. "Some people just follow," said Mrs. Hawkes: “In a busy library, that could be dangerous,” quipped Trustee David Service. Times change. said Mr. Hutchinson, and many lib- raries had large areas of car- peting now. Some even had ash trays, while the one at Scarboro had pillows and ot- tomans on the floor. On one of his visits, almost as many people had been sitting as walking around he said.

Pileup Superintendent Gordon McIntyre said a visiting in- spector had complained about the same thing as Mrs. Simp- son and had suggested the tub be replaced. “Why not paint it?" asked Mr. Hutchinson. Looking at the overall school, Trustee Deena Simp- son thought it had been well looked after, except for the sink in the home economics room. It was ugly, ridiculous and “destroys the illusion of modernity," she said. The sink was a laundry tub, corrected Chairman Hutchinson. Business Administrator Kenneth Tur-ton said that, so far as books were concerned. they had been coming in “as fast as they can handle them." The board requested Mr. Turton look into the cost of the carpeting. NEED GOOD WORKERS?

Williams Condemns Plan, Dump Operation Contract WAYNE WILLIS Western Graduate Public Tenders May Be Less Public Mr. v Service said the practice was one being done by other boards, mainly to “get around the time-con- suming" opening of enve- lopes and to provide some beforehand knowledge. 0111 men A move that would speed up the opening of tenders for public school projects, but would make them less public, in the process. was given consideration by Rich- mond Hill Public School Board last week. The motion was put for- ward 'by Trustee David Service, who asked that the board instruct the policy committee to draft a policy “wherein sealed tenders submitted to the board may be opened in the presence of three board officials or trustees in order that such as these may be included in the agenda previous to a meeting." Chairman Walter Hutch- inson said the View gen- erally held was that all major tenders should be done at public meetings.

What would the board gain by the proposed new policy? In a public opening, there was no chance after- ward for anyone to cry foul, he said. Jack Fawbert, manager of Vaughan Township's dump on the Teston Side- road for the past two years resigned his position a month ago. Mr. Hutchinson said he still felt the tenders were things that would have to be thoroughly discussed publicly. He said he had had some “real wrangles” on these. Superintendent Gordon McIntyre said he hoped the day never came when major tenders, such as those for new schools, weren‘topen- ed before the board. That was always an “exciting moment," he said. Said Trustee Peter Sale: “Is there so much time lost by the board opening these tenders at board meetings?" made policy, it should be stated in any subsequent advertisements for tenders, where they were going to be opened, so the public could attend. Mr. Service said they would still be public. HOLIDAY STORE HOURS: Open Saturday, July lst California Jumbo Size 45's Cantaloupefi FRESH GRADE OVEN READY -â€" 2‘. LB. AVG.
