This building promises to be one of the most modern schools in the province. Time and trouble have flot been spared in its planning to insure that the students of this school wili be fortunate in having the best in facilities and equip- ment in years to corne. Attractive Exterior The new school wifl be a steel and brick-one story structure with a white paint trim. The roofing wili be tar and gravel. There wili be two main entrances facing On- tario St., a back entrance and a south entrance. The schooi has been planned so that each class- t4te~m~rn room will hav 'e a separate outside entrance. The driveway wîli bel on the nortii side ani the plans show flagstone waiks arouftâ the school. Leading up to the front entrance will be a concrete walk. As well as the five regular classrooms, there wiii be a corn- bination auditorium and play- room, a principal's- room a tea- chers room, a modern equipped kitchen, a health îoom and wash- rooms. At first glance the mosti outstanding feature of the nearly, canstructed -building is the glass1 block windows that are in every( room in the school, except the1 kindergarten, where plate glass1 windows have been put in. These1 glass blocks have only been me-1 centiy introduced into buildingst of this type and already have proved to be great assets for bet-E Hear Mayor Mason Broadcast Sunday Evenîng ai 9 o'clock Through an unfortunate occur- rence at radio station CKEY, To- ronto, Mayor L. C. Mason's broad- cast on Bowmanville was flot made on Sunday, Juiy 3rd. Mayor Mason did his part, but as the famous Scotch poet, Robert Burns, once wrote, "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley" However, the broadcast will be' put on over CKEY this coming Sunday, July 10 at 9 p.m. We hope yôu will be listening. These Sunday evening broadcasts ail through the Winter and Sring by the Mayors of cities and towns throughout Central Ontario have attracted wide-spread. attention and intcrest. The "Mayor of' The Town" programme has given the Chief Magistrates of many thriv- ing communities the opportunity to tell the public something of their home town and its many fea- tures and attributes. Mayor Mason's talk is the last, but by no means least of this ser- ie,% rif "adio broadcasts. Cartwright Boy F/0 E. P. Emerson Awarded D.F.C. The Lieut. Governor of Ontario, Hon. Ray Lawson, invested F/O Edgar Philp Emerson with the Distinguished Flying Cross on June 22 at the R.C.A.P. station, Toronto. The citation read as follows: "This officer has completed nu- merous operations against the enerny in the course of which he has invariabiy displayed the ut- most fortitude, courage, and de- votion to duty." After the investiture the guests were enterained at tea by the Lieut. Governor and Mrs. Law- son. Present at the Investiture were Mm. Emerson's wife, his parents, Mr. and Mis. Malcolm Ernerson, bis sisters, Giadys and Irene of Nestieton, and a brother, Frank, of Toronto. Another brother, F/O Ralph Emerson lost his life on a !light over Belgium on Dec. 26, 1944. Mr. Emnerson has accepted a position on the teaching staff of the Stratford Collegiate Institute.. IWheri the light hits these blocks it is, completely reflected onto the ceiling Sa that. there are no sha- dows. The ventilation will be instalied 50 that the fans will be in the cloakrooms, directly under the ventilators in the roof. When the children corne' in with wet coats, the hot air is drawn up by thé fans and the coats wifl be dry by recess. The floors wili be asphaît and tile and the c 'eilings, acoustic tile and fibreboard tile. The walls will be a combination of fiex- board and masonite panels. The colour that cach classroom will be painted is to, be decided by a light meter which will détermine the right shade in accordance with the amount of light entering the room. A hot and cold water system, a fire alarm system, a cail bell- sys- ter heating system wili be instali- ed. Construction and Workmen The approximate cost of this new school is expected to be $117,000. The landscaping and fencing is expected to reach a total cost of $10,000 and the approxi- mate cost of the equipment and furniture is estimated at $10,000. The contractor for the new schooi is H. M.
