Reporter The true meaning of Christmas religious and humanitarian is what Barrie kindergarten teachers are try ing to instill in their fiveyear olds try to teach that what we celebrate at Christmas is the birth of Christ try to stress that aspect although its kind difficult for the children to think of that with Santa and toys on their minds They get that from watching lot of television try to balance it out said Mrs Willa Wilson kindergarten teacher at St John Vianney School Mrs Barbara Pipher who handles kindergarten classes at Cundles Heights School said her system is to start the season by emphasizing the story of the birth of hrist Then come other stories that impress upon the pupils the message that you give gifts because you care about people not because you expect something back Finally the subject of Santa and other fun things of Christmas gets tackled Hopefully weve managed to get the real meaning across first shcsaid Mrs Piphcr is puzzled by anissions in recent books on the Christmas story We really had to hunt to find book with the complete story of the first Christmas Parts seem to be missing from many One for example made no mention of the three kings she said Most children in her class were already aware of the Christmas story or at least parts of the story The kids who go to Sunday school really know it he said The situation was the same in Mrs Wilsons class Some children had most of the story down pat result of exposure to it at home or church thcrs needed more information try to put the pieccogcthcr for them impressing the idea if Jesus as gift

for annex ation of whatever lands Barrie gets from sur rounding townships Alex Arrell chairman of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing into the citys annexation application said Monday And land annexed on that date could in clude as much as 4300 acres the city has not Examiner Staff Repo applied for The hearing was adjourned Monday pro bably until May or June while opponents of annexation seek judicial review of questions concerning the status and propriety of letter from Ontario Treasurer Darcy McKeough laying down provincial policy on population growth in the area See story 13 The hearing will reconvene for one day Jan to set date for resumption of proceedings Mr Arrell said after the adjournment Jan 1978 is the logical date for Barrie to take over whatever lands the board grants The city has applied for 20000 acres from three adjoining townships all of which op pose the application Under the Barrie proposal the city would get 13500 acres from Innisfil Township with western boundary running one lot west of the townships Fifth Sideroad But Mr Arrell said during Mondays ses sion the boundary should lie mile and half west extending city limits to the present InnisfilEssa boundary CREATE PROBLEMS He said the citys proposal would leave tongue of land in the township which would create fire protection problems because it would be difficult for Innisfil trucks to reach the area and the city might be unwilling to counterpro Townshi area protect property outside its boundaries If the citys proposed southern boundary the midlot line of Concession is accepted by the board moving the western boundary as suggested by Mr Arrell would give the city an extra 4300 acres Part of this area is included in Innisfils sal which extends west to the Essa boun ary and south to the Midlot line of Concession 12 Mr Arrell said residents of the 4300acre area will have to be notified before the hear ing resumes next spring Also to be notified are residents of about 600 acres in Vespra who are not in the citys proposal but wou be included in the Innisfil counter proposal and about half dozen landowners who want their lands added to the annexation SPECIAL ELECTION Mr Arrell said special election would pro bably be set for December 1977 to elect representatives to Barrie city council from annexed areas The new members would have oneyear term since regular elec tion is scheduled in December 1978 Other issues to be addressed include in tegration of annexed areas into the citys ward system and creation of an urban service area Mr Arrell said Urban service areas are set up so that only those who actually receive such urban ser vices as sewers and piped water pay taxes for them Mr Arrell said an urban service area should take in only those who already have such services and those who will receive them within maximum of five years He said he would prefer to see the area limited to those who will have services within three years Now believe at least 72 from
