Speaking at the school board portion of the joint all- candidates meeting for the school board and council candidates last week, York County Board of Education Trustee Margaret Coburn told the packed audience at All-Saints Anglican Church in King City that 1974 wouldn't stand out “as a year to be proud of .” “I hope héwever, out of its ashes we will build," she said. The board of directors of the Ontario Humane Society has announced it will be withdrawing its animal control services in five municipalities in York Region and one in Simcoe County. There had been a number of changes made in the system in the past six months to improve board- teacher relations, she said. Contrary to one can- didate’s view, liaison committees did work, and a letter from a teacher who had served on one, proved it. Humane Society will withdraw from region Tom. Hughes, executive director, said high costs and public criticism brought about the decision. The teacher said the committee served a useful function in promoting un- derstanding between “the trustees and those groups with which it deals throughout York Region." Service from the animal shelter will be cancelled in Aurora, King Township, Whitchurch-Stouffville and West Gwillimbury on Mrs. Coburn said she, herself, was taking part in principals' meetings for the first time, and in staff meetings in school, “if they invite me.” She 'also attended professional activity days. which weren’t tea parties, but “an opportunity for everyone to learn the views of others. “Times are changing rapidly and we have all become learners. And I think it’s great," Mrs. Coburn said. Rustled cattle King favors reâ€"usable containers A number, including one animal worth almost $10,000, have been returned to their owners. But 23 head still remain unclaimed. These include eight Herefords, eight Charolais and seven crossbred Charolais. Anyone who has lost cattle of this description in recent months is asked to contact the nearest provincial police detachment or to call the Lindsay OPP detachment at (705) 324-6741. Thirty-three head of valuable cattle, obtained by false pretences and rustling from livestock sales barns and farms throughout Ontario were seized by the Provincial Police recently from a pasture farm in Mariposa Township. A resolution calling on the province to establish a uniform system of sub- sidizing returnable con- tainers and avoiding ex- pensive recycling was unanimously adopted by King Township Council Monday night of last week. It points out the re-using of glass containers would greatly reduce post con- sumer waste and save almost three times the cost of energy necessary for the process. The i'esoiution originated with the Town of Mississauga. Councillor Bill Forhan thought the proposal was excellent and suggested the “implementation could be made more effective with a high rebate for returning bottles." ‘ Pobdle Clipping Pet Grooming New Fall Fashions .SWEATERS o'COATs o FANCY & PLAIN COLLARS 8: LEADS 10088 Yonge St. Richmond Hill All agreed King trustee wants to’build out of the ashé§ The POODLE SCENE “i believe the trend will continue and lead to divorcing the negotiating process from the educational process, which would benefit everyone,” Mrs. Coburn said. Defends building Mrs. Cobum defended the proposed new ad- ministration building in Aurora, which she said was much needed. Also, to build made economic sense, as they had to move and rent was taken out of education ceilings. Referring to last spring’s strike of secondary school teachers, she said they had ended up using professional negotiators, instead of local trustees and teachers. The boérd was not “feathering its nest,” as The Newmarket Era charged. “It’s essential for trustees to work with teachers in the interests of good programming for kids. This becomes difficult in the tense atmosphere of negotiations." She said it was essential to return a “more traditional curriculum in core subjects; also it was important to find a method of evaluating what was happening in the system. A co-operative approach to evaluation was now being worked out. She said her role was to join with the rest of the board to make policy. She had often challenged them, but in 1975 the board must Their new bulding was “not the Taj Mahal.” Hughes said he had asked local municipalities to pay more for the services â€" voluntary contributions make up 40 percent of the society’s total revenue â€" but hadn’t received any replies so far.

Teachers should insti] in their students a high regard for teachers and the schools. he said. The mass resignations last spring caused him deep concern and he was not satisfied with the answer from the teachers and the board. His aims were: the bet- terment of elementary and secondary education, to provide a better relation between trustees and the board, try to curtail unnecessary expenditures, and to be available to parents and teachers as much as possible. Definite void Robert Phillips, running in Ward 5, said there had been a “definite void” between trustees and the administration and it was the trustees’ duty to “keep all channels open." A prediction that the society Would get out of the animal control busmess, was made by Pat Limdert, director of the York branch. He was seeking: more direct control by the trustees, the administration to “bridge the gap” with the He said also it Would cost the municipalities much more to run their own service than it now costs the society.

Dorothy Zajac said she was “appalled at the degree of mistrust between board and the teachers." The duty of the board was to provide an opportunity for the education for the children. The issues, as she saw them were: make better use of master teachers, longâ€" range planning in special education classes, board meetings should be con~ ducted in a more business- like manner. Trustees should neither be pro-teacher or pro-board, but only pro-student.

Last year, principals had been “shuffled around like bank managers.” One school had had four prin- cipals in four years. (Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School in Aurora). The community was entitled to an explanation as to why that was done, Mr. Kudelka said. When a principal became that dependent on the system, then all trust was destroyed. 56211.8 8284-1955 Scars That sort of thing didn’t exist before (the formation of the board) and there were less problems then, he said.
