On the advice of Director Earl Lagroix the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board, at a recent meeting, considered the question of discouraged walk-a- thons on school . days when full funding becomes a reality. Trustee Hugh Ar- mstrong quoted the director, who was ab- sent from the meeting, as not believing the board could get full grants if the walks were held on instructional days. However, the majority of the trustees went along with Whitby Trustee Catharine Tun- ney who said, "It doesn't harmn the students to miss one day." She said that school spirit was an imn- portant consideration tao. "When the funding is In effect, that is the time for this matter to be discussed," Ed Finan, Whitby trustee, said af- ter proposing a tabling motion. Trustees rejected tabling and chose to deal with the matter then. Those who supported the motion to discourage walk-a-thons when full funding cornes into effect asked as Michael *Stephenson, Pickering trustee, did, "How can we justify taking a day off? " "The walk-a-thons build character ... and self esteem for the school and-the studen- ts,"1 Whitby Trustee Tom Oldman said. The board approved walk-a-thons for Denis O'Connor High School in Ajax for Sept. 24 and Paul Dwyer High School în Oshawa for Oct. 8. Students will walk to raise money for the school's 'grade 13 programs which do not receive full funding from the Ministry of Education.

At a recent meeting 0f the board Chairman Ruth Lafarga pointed out there were other factors which entered into the total budget, factors over which the board had no control.
