Following a very strong pre- sentation by the principals and teachers in the three schools operated by the Richmond Hill Separate School Board. trustees at their March 5 meeting de- cided to amend their recent policy decision which would al- low animals in classrooms for one day only when needed for a lesson. Birthday greetings are ex- tended to Craig Gadsby on the 19th and to Audrey Davis on To Allow Animals In Classrooms ll Properly Caged And Cared For The teachers had pointed out that over a period of time a child can overcome his fear of animals if one is kept in the classroom. Constant observation can develop a love of animals and also friendship between children as they work together and share a common interest. Town Separate School Board The classroom animal also de- velops a spirit of social co-opâ€" eration as well as being useful in the teaching of science 1e5- sons. it was claimed. When these reasons had beenl reviewed John Taylor displayed‘ a clipping from a Toronto daily about a Scarbom program‘ which featured animals in thel classroom. “This is the sort of thing you read in a paper and say, ‘isn't it wonderful and why don't we do it'?” he said. The board agreed to accept the recommendation of its liai- son with teachers committee and permit the keeping of propâ€" erly cared for. properly caged animals in classrooms with the principal's approval. A require- ment of this permission is that the cages be cleaned daily. Trustee John LeClaire commented. "Animals have always been in classrooms and always will be. We don‘t want to be the only school board which bars them." Trustee Mona Hogan 3 public health nurse in North York added. 0-H CHOPS 6 OZ. PKGS. 2 LB. BAG 16 OZ. PKG. Phone 884-3000 LBS.

The board also decided to provide storage space for dis- mantled electrical equipment 'in one classroom which might ‘prove hazardous when handled 'by unsupervised children. A recent announcement that‘ Education Minister William \Davis is considering placing schools for retarded children under the jurisdiction of the new county-wide boards of edu- cation which will come into existence on January 1, 1969, was drawn to trustees’ attention by Trustee Joseph Dwyer. The trustee pointed out that par- ents of some children in these schools are separate school su-p- porters with other children at- tending separate schools. This move, if it comes to pass, may pose a problem. he noted. Therefore, the townsfolk of Richmond Hill and its surround- ing area are cordially invited to participate in the Legion’s com- munity endeavor. Any resident who can accommodate two or more young lads from out-of- town for a period of up to three nights while the tourna- ment is in progress. should conv tact either Bill Rice at 884' 7628, Tom Clinton at 884-6368 or Eric Chapman at 884-7129. Billets will be expected to provide breakfast only. and transportation to and from the Richmond Hill Arena; but tranâ€" sportation can be supplied if none is available. In an invasion of this size your assistance will be greatly appreciated. We would like to see the hospitality of Richmond Hill become known throughout North America and such recog- nizance could very well stand or fall upon the result of the welcome extended by local citi- zens.

Mr. LeClaire stated, “The board is a public board and its regular meetings are open to all. We are fortunate to have a Liberal reporter in regular attendance at our meetings and the board will continue to wel- come the press.

Five weeks from now. Rich- mond Hill will be invaded by approximately 300 Canadian and American hackey players between the ages of 14 and 16. They will be accompanied by managers, caoches. cheerleaders and fans, and some will have brought their parents along. The invasion will herald the start of Richmond Hill‘s first. annual International Midget Hockey Tournament. It will last three days. and sponsored by the local branch of the Le- gion it will be the first of its kind in Ontario. Naturally. as with any inva- sion, problems arise with regard to the billeting of troops. And Billeting Officer Bill Rice, has not yet found the answers. When an organization of men gather to promote the interests of the community, and the or- ganization hits upon a problem that only the community can solve, it is again only natural when they take the problem to the people. However, unlike the east and west galleries at Queen's Park where seating for the troops is free, a registration fee of $2.50 per person is required. But this fee also covers the noon luncheon during which Immedi- Eighteen members of the hockey committee met at Le- gion Court last Sunday morn- ing, and further news concern- ing the international tourna- ment will be promulgated soon. Sports Writer Fred Simpson of "The Liberal", was present at the Sunday meeting and his observations and comments will be found on the sports pages.
