The first was an arrangement of scarlet dahlias and cream-colored gladioli, and the second had won a prize as the most original centerpiece. She had displayed these at Rich- mond Hill Horticultural Soci- ety's show Saturday last. “God has given us tongues that we may say something pleasant to our fellow-men” . . . . Heinrich Heine. Mrs. Harry Burton thanked Mrs. Clark for her hospitality and Mr. and Mrs. Boynton for their share in the program. The October meeting of the UCW will be held at the home of Mrs. Wesley Middleton and members are reminded that the October thankoffering will be received. Neighborhood Notes A group of junior farmers from Huron County came down by car on an exchange trip. Among them was Lois Merrill who stayed at the home of Mrs. E. Leek for a weekend. The community extends a warm welcome to two new fami- lies who have recently moved into the area. the MacKays and the Dunleavys. Mr. H. Homer began the ex- cuvation of the basement of his new house this week. UCW members will supply home-made pies for the Hi-C booth at Markham Fair, Ocâ€" tober 3. 4 and 5. Members enjoyed a delightful program when Russell Boynton showed slides of a trip he and Mrs. Boynton took to California, Disneyland and Hawaii. It was agreed that the even- ing service of the anniversary Sunday, September 29 would take the form of a hymn-sing. Mrs. Stewart Rumble chaired the business session. Mrs. Martin Jenkinson point- ed out that the old saying “Let your conscience be your guide" was poor advice. A conscience is not separate from experience but is educated according to the way of life of each indi- vidua'l. Miss Cora Brodie conducted the worship service using Psalm 23 and the ten command- ments of happiness. When he told his captors that he was a Christian they thought he was attempting to deceive them. Testing him with an unâ€" usual examination â€" “Who was Martin Luther?", and asking him to recite the first. verse of the Bible. they were convinced of his sincerity by the answers he gave. Following a twmmonths' re- cess the UCW met at the home of Mrs. W. Clark with 12 mem- bers and two visitors attending. Mrs. E. Leek. vice-president. opened the meeting with a few words of welcome then con- tinued with the mission lesson on Japan â€" the profile of a Japanese officer and his con- duct in defeat. in retreat and as a prisoner of the Allies.

This is serious and you know it," Mrs. Steve Pommer of Kingcross Sub- division charged King Township Public School Board, at its meeting September 10. Mrs. Pommer sought transportaion both ways for her five-year-old son attending kindergarten in Kettleby. license, rifle, ammunition and accommodation! pay for costly hunting trips by selling no longer needed items for cash! Headford News CORRESPONDENT: BECKY STATON Phone 884-7890 “There are 10 new homes in our area." Mrs. Pommer con- tinued. “We're here now, and you are going to have to do something for us. Where are those taxes going? I certainly hope you are for the children. although it sounds as if you were against them. Education is for all." Another member of the pub- lic present told the Pommers. “This is a privilege of Hiring in ithe country." and Mr. Reid commented, "Unfortunately this is one of the drawbacks of livfng in a rural area. This is one reason the province has set up county boards to ensure equal educational opportunities for all children." Another ratepayer ‘assured Mrs. Pommer that other moth- ers in her area would co-oper- ate in transportation. “I drove a child to kindergarten and when I couldn’t there was al- ways a kind neighbor ready to assist. In fact. we had to drive two children to a private kinâ€" dergarten. which cost us $75 a year tuition. But we were glad to do it to give our children the opportunity to have a year in kindergarten." “But you take our taxes. We are paying twice as much in taxes as We ever have. and are getting nothing for them," Mrs. Pommer declared. "We are paying $600 taxes for schools.” “We used up your school taxes in providing a place for your child in a kindergarten.” Mr. Reid assured her. It was pointed out that there are 200 miles of road in the township and transportation costs would rise phenomenally if kindergarten children were bussed. "It would be double on account of the half~day classes." according to Chairman Jack Van Luyk. } Trustee William Reid ‘ told the Pommers. “This is only 1 goodle you're set- ting. If your child is on a bus. he is there on your say-so and at the goodwill of the driver. We don’t pro- vide this transportation and we don‘t pay for it.” Mrs. Pommer charged, “Something is very wrong“ Mr. Reid agreed. “But it is not in our power to change it." “These are available to the children who are registered first. They may be transported to or from the school if there is room on the school bus, but the board receives no govern- ment grant on transportation of kindergartners." Trustee David Bachly told Mrs. Pommer. Trustees explained that at- tendance at kindergarten is not compulsory and this education- al advantage is available to only about two-thirds of the eligible 'children in the town- ship. “When we decided to start kindergarten. we could afford to set up only so many, with so many pupil spaces. sured the insurance would be good as long as no charge was made. “But my son can't walk from that point to our home. After all. he's only five years old." Mrs. Pommer stated em- phatically. Her husband suggested that the bus could travel into the subdivision to diseharge the pupils. "It would be only 50 yards off the highway, but would be much safer. Cars come whizzing over the hill on Jane Street. and some day there's going to be a tragedy when one of them plows into a school bus or a group of child- ren," he claimed. When, on behalf of the parents. he of- fered to pay the extra costs, he was told this arrangement would have to be made with the bus company. we must consider Nobleton. King City, Oak Ridges and all other parts of the township. It is impossible for us to make an ex- ception to the rule for you as we must treat every part of the township on the same basis." Mr. Reid added, “Two years ago they were only building 75 houses a year in the township. This year they are building 150. and we are told the number will drop to 75 again next year. With this fluctuation, how could we plan for the future? Look at Toronto, look at all the port- ables they have, with all their planning.” At this point the Pommers left the mgeting after being as- sured that Mrs. Lavis' request would receive the board's earn- est consideration in committee‘ Tested Classified.
