although each and every one had been invited through paid advertisement in the local papers the contribu tion of ideas and offers of as sistance of many can make a great celebration of the 100th birthday of a school which has meant so much to residents throughout the years it is reasonable to calculate that the efforts of an overworked minor ity cannot no matter how they try stage as brilliant an occa sion as can the wholehearted effort of every ratepayer the centennial celebration is sched uled for saturday and sunday june 20 and 21 a letter was read from a a archibald public school inspec tor who wished the committee every success in their under taking and said that it was in order to use a small amount of the school funds to finance it a resolution was passed that 30000

before picker ing twp council on monday evening to request that some consideration be given to the housing requirements of the municipalities senior citizens he said that in the majority of cases a 960 sq foot home was too large for elderly persons with no dependents it is unfair to condemn these people in their sunset years to institutional care herded to gether in rooms and suffering from lack of privacy he said the ratepayer suggested that areas should be formed for the erection of homes with the sup port of all levels of government we would not be extending charity but would be repaying a debt we owe to all our mo thers and fathers he contin ued we all are benefiting di rectly or indirectly by the con tributions made by them to our general prosperity he con cluded reeve sherman scott said that it was difficult to control such a scheme he said that the undersized homes would prob ably notremain in the hands of the senior citizens and there fore would not be selfsustain ing when occupied by others the reeve pointed out that as the municipality continued to grow it might be possible to lower the townships size re quirements this problem exists over the entire country noted the reeve i dont feel that there is any easy answer to the prob lem from our level of govern ment he said councillor harry ashton ag reed that the suggestion had merit and should be forwarded to the township planning bd on a suggestion by mr fair- grieve that the council provide the accommodation reeve scott frowned on any plan by council to embark on a house building programme he noted further that it would be diffi cult to assist in a financial way the promotion of such a pro ject the present council has too many financial problems to deal with at this time without subsi dizing a housing
