' Initially only a short section of Yonge Street was without power, but the line fell and areas west of Yonge were also blacked out. To qualify, students must have received a secondary school honor graduation diploma, and have attained an 80 per cent average or more in their best six subjects. the intersection allowances are still unresolved Both teams are now preparing submissions, which must be presented to the fact finder within seven days of his appointment. One of the main issues is that of in- crements. The board wants them in and the teachers want them out. “Those are still the big things,” Monroe told The Liberal. He would not discuss salary differences, but ad- mitted the two sides were “not very close.” His findings will be made public if no agreement has been reached within 15 days after the release of the report to the board and the teachers.

Jacoba has led a charmed life for six and a half years and Miss Taylor hopes she still is. Her owner, Louise Taylor, has been calling the neighbors. A friend in the printing business reproduced 1,000 posters with Jacoba’s picture on it. She first heard about Jacoba two years ago from a friend who worked for a veterinarian. black and white cat, in the shade of a big maple tree. Miss Taylor has called all the animal control authorities and dead stock operators and all the newspapers and radio stations she can think of. But no Jacoba. The dog had been mistreated by a previous owner and turned over to the vet, who did not want to put such a beautiful animal away. Jacoba was a registered collie with enough quality to get inrtoic‘i‘og ghogvs. Jacoba went to live with Miss Taylor and soon after they moved to Van- couver.

Mr. Salvatori fears the programrma y not survive another year. “I find it very difficult to believe‘ there are only a handful of properties in Richmond Hill that would qualify for an award." he said, “but that seems to be my conclusion as a result of the nominations that have been sent in." In a letter to The Liberal, the chairman said he believed the awards were “a very good community-oriented program".

Committee chairman, Dorothy Quirk, in speaking about the first recommendation told The Liberal, however, the biggest problem at present was in dialect.
