At that time the gorilla had a gangrenous wound on its hip, eczema on its fingers and toes and had lost a great deal of its body hair. Jim Kenyon, a staff veterinarian at the University of Toronto division of laboratory animal science. Little is known about the growth of the gorilla hair, Kenyon explained, thus making it difficult to tell exactly when the thallium first entered the gorilla‘s body. However, Kenyon says he believes it might have been sometime last April. The thallium findings were con- firmed Tuesday by Don Hepworth, chief inspector with the Ontario Humane Society, who added that the autopsy also revealed colitis, bronchial pneumonia, nutmeg liver (a liver disease caused, in humans, by alcohol) severe skin lesions and emaciation. The case is still under review, Hepworth said and no\moves would be made until “we try and get a little more evidence." “I just don’t understand," said Mrs. Bowman when told of the thallium findings. “How in the world could he get that?" “These animals do not enjoy the outside or the sunshine,” she explained. “Therevhad to be a hell of a lot in the body to put that level in the hair," Kenyon said. Asked whether the society plans to press charges, Hepworth responded: “The point is who are we going to charge?" She said the gorilla had never taken any alcohol, although half a bottle of vodka was found in the gorilla house when the Humane Society arrived to‘ take the animal away, she confirmed.’ She was not surprised however by the colitis and pneumonia findings, claiming that this was caused after the animal was removed from her home and kept outside in the sun. “That was mine,” she said, adding that “you wouldn‘t assume after fin- ding alcohol in someone‘s home that they were feeding it to their dog, would you? TTEE FOR VAUGHAN '76 Photo by How AURORA â€" A proposed staff policy on psychological testing in the schools will be allowed to circulate for awhile yet. York County board of education decided Monday night. Although agreeing to one amended clause, which would allow test reports to be shared with the parents or guardians when requested, and also given to medical advisors with the written approval of the parents, the board was reluctant to pass on the other three clauses right away, other than in principle. Offices urged at jail farm THORNHILL â€" Mayoralty candidate Bob Adams says he would like to see the west side of the Langstaff Jail Farm developed as “prestige office space" while the east side is kept in the public domain for open space. He said in a televised press con- ference on Cable 10 that the best place for “a higher order of services” in York Region was on the Langstaff Jail Farm next to Yonge Street. But Adams said later that he meant commercial “the cream of develop- ment“, for the land between Yonge Street and the CN tracks. The jail farm in Richmond Hill has been vacant for some years and is owned by the City of Toronto. Adams, a regional planning committee member as well as chairman of the Markham planning committee, said that Mayor David Crombie of Toronto had said the city would accept whatever use for the land that Richmond Hill decided for it. These were: all individual psychological tests of intelligence and personality be administered by members of psychological services; for all such testing, prior approval be obtained from the parents or guar- dians, or from the student, if over 18 years of age; test reports be filed in and therefore be part of the Ontario School Record (OSR) of the student. This was interpreted in the Liberal as meaning a place where apartment buildings could be put. He said that he could work with Mayor David Schiller of Richmond Hill and Mayor Crombie to keep the eastern part of the farm as open space. Trustee Joy Horton of East Gwillimbury moved that the latter clause be deleted, but was un- successful. Mrs. Horton objected to the fact that the reports would be readily available to any teacher, who wanted to see them, but would be denied to parents. “The board is probably heading for a deficit position (in that portion of the budget) but one that we will be able to handle," Joyce said. Policy proposed on psychological tests Mrs. Horton also took exception to eduction director Sam Chapman's opening remarks. In speaking against giving parents copies of the reports, he said that, it was “not in the best in- terests of the child to have a copy in the family filing system." Said Mrs. Horton: “I feel a copy must be made available to the parent. I can’t conceive of the school having the arrogance of testing a child and then Joyce noted that the budget set aside for portables has been exceeded by $14,000 due to the purchase of five new portables in September. Vandalism RICHMOND HILL â€" Although York Region's Roman Catholic schools have been plagued with heavy vandalism this year, the board’s financial picture should end up in the black, Ed Joyce, superintendent of business and finance, told the board last week. “With investment assets totalling $935,000, by December if all the townships pay up, we should end up the year in the black," Joyce said. ' He said funds were required to replace 28 panes of glass at St. Joseph’s school and $5,000 was spent for repairs at St. Michael’s. { SHOP 'N SAVE AT “They're not the board‘s children, but ours,“ said Mrs. Horton. “I don‘t think the school system has the right to decide if a parent is capable of raising his own child." taking the reports away Newmarket‘s Craig Cribar saw it differently.

It was "dangerous" to give results to parents, who may not know the forml“ The results could be shared, but the actual report shouldn‘t be given, he said. Board ’3 new member is ruled ineligible Chapman said that, for a psychologist to release a report, “so that parents can ask their neighbors what it means, is doing a disservice to the children."

However, Bulfon was ruled to be ineligible when he went to file his the Richmond Hill arena.

POLY BAG She then suggested that the reports be released to the medical prac- titioners, who, in turn, could release them to the parents. Chris McMonagle of Markham, said that psychologists did release such reports to parents. The testing was only done on how the child was functioning in school. If it went beyond that, they weren‘t treated in the school. children hurt John Stephens, also of Markham. said it was “inconceivable” that a child could be tested and his report not be giggn to the parents; King‘s Dorothy Zajac wondered why “we should do something in the school system. that they don‘t do anywhere else.'{ H The policy. report will now be cir- culated among the teachers and parent groups Although Bulfon has begun his duties as parish priest in Woodbridge, he has not yet moved to his Woodbridge home.
