The'board had agreed earlier that munici- palities should be notified so that they would have first opportunity to buy the schools. Staff reported that the Township of Georgina has indicated that it would be interested in purchasing school buildings at Pefferlaw, Udora and Mount Pleasant and would prefer sale by sealed tender. Whitchurch-Stouffville is not interested in purchasing any of the schools in that municipality. ' When School Is Sold Who Gets The Bell?â€"- Trustees Are Still Undecided Having decided to sell a number of its old small schools, York County'Board of Education has another problem. What will happen to the bells ? Remember Your Child‘s Happiness “ith a portrait from Creative Photography Edam-Framing and Restorations of Oil Paintings There’s a better way to wash the dishes. An electric dishwasher will clean up the dishes better than you can-by washing and rinsing them in fresh clean water, far hotter than your hands could stand. Today's dishwashers are better than ever. Dishes don't have to be rinsed, even pots and pans come out sparkling clean. Isn't it time you threw in th, towel and got an electric dishwasher? by Ursula Liane 6123 YONGE ST WILLOWDALE, ONT Trustees agreed that the bus should be removed only when conditions were made safe for the children. 4 YONGE ST. SOUTH Richmond Hill Hydro Electric Commission SAM COOK, CHAIRMAN AL. HORWOOD, SUPERINTENDENT your hydro ‘ Weathers Screened, Quotas Set? Richmond Hill Teacher Beat- rice Bryant‘of Beverley Acres School suggested that the tea- cher surplus could be alleviat- ied by reducing class size and ‘thereby increasing the number ‘of teachers required. The current surplus of teach- ers and an alleged infiltration of radicals into the elementary school teaching profession were among the topics that concern- ed the annual meeting of the Federation of Women Teachers’ Associations of Ontario at the Royal York Hotel last week. The meeting approved a res- olution that the Department of Education be asked to screen applicants to teachers‘ colleges and that a quota on enrolment be set. North York Teacher Cathy Croxson was concerned about student teachers .with “anti- estahlishment” View who. she claimed, “are trying to get at us through the children.” MLWE‘ve got to be 'careful of the calibre of people in the teaching profession”, she warn- ed. Aurora Trustee Keith Nisbet urged that the matter be held over for a month to give the public an opportunity to express an opinion. It was estimated that some of the bells might be worth up to $100, but Business Superintendent George Ford pointed out that it is difficult to remove some of the bells from the bell towers and the cost would probably exceed the value of the bell. Markham Trustee John Honsberger moved that the bell go with the building. “The tail goes with the hide unless someone wants the tail,” said Mr. Honsberger. King Trustee Margaret Coburn did not agree. The bells are of historic interest, she declared. and should go with the pupils to the new school they would enter. .1 1 u “up Schools to be sold that have bells are Peffer- law, Udora, Pottageville, Ringwood. Vandorf, Bloomington, Temperanceville, Pine Orchard and Lemonville. Black River School also has a bell but at present the sch_ool‘is not for sale.
