something for everyone at 114th thursday oct 9 1969 the tribune page 3 markham fair 22ri ijnkfvl the 114th annual markham fair was the most successful on record competi tion in every class was of the highest calibre including the beef show this prize winner is from almira hereford farms rr 1 unionvllle the herdsman is mal colm keith jas thomas dogs slaughter 62 hens editors mail daughters suspension debated dear sir i would like to set the record straight on my re cent correspondence with the school board on many occasions i have given various school principals authority to mete out any punishment they deem fit for any mis behavior by my children while under their author ity because of this and the firmness with which they are treated at home i do not consider that my children have the makings of juvenile delinquents the problem then on the school bus as i point ed out in my letter to the school board is in fact a job in adequate supervi sion between the author ity of the school and of the home there are ob vious inherent dangers in expecting one person to supervise a bus with sixty children and at the same time negotiate their route safely in ever increasing traffic my suggestion to use older responsible students on each route as prefects or monitors is not with out precedent for this reason they could no more be called spies or snitchers as mr chap man states than teachers or older pupils supervis ing classes playgrounds or crosswalks could be some of your readers may have received the im pression that my 10 year old daughter deidrc is or has the makings of a juvenile delinquent i can assure them such is not the case there were two instan ces in which deidre was involved and which led up to her what i maintain was an illegal suspension from the use of the school bus the first was on april fools day 1969 whether she was the one selected to be made an ex ample of or whether she was the only one engaging in hijinks that day i can not say my wife dis ciplined deidre without notifying me the second and last incident occur red late in the same school term this time it was brought to my attention i visited mr stover the principal to discuss the problem and seek a solu tion having lost two days work with pay i con demned the system of not allowing the child on the bus as not being the ans wer i still do as i main tain the hardship and loss is placed on the parents not on the child there was no provision on the 6869 cards for the parents signature mr stover was in error when he stated there was i deeply resent the state ment that i would sign such a card and then not honor my signature as a taxpayer i am sadly aware of the ever increas ing school taxes and some of the seemingly frivolous uses to which these taxes are put and welcome the governments warning to school boards to give more care and attention to the tax dollar while bylaw 371 of the schools act gives author ity to school boards to provide transportation for pupils it does not make provision for with drawing such service on an individual or multiple basis in closing while i would rather have had a spirit of consideration and cooperation in this prob lem from mr chapman im afraid he has adopted more of a dictatorial at titude to date than any thing else i thank the tribune for the coverage of the school boards actions and with the continuous and worrisome upward spiral in taxes i hope your paper can see its way to give greater coverage to the boards meeting and activities jim kavanagh box 94 markham santa claus parade markham plans were unveiled before
