A few weeks ago the junior grades at Oak Ridges Public School were involved in an “Immersion Study of Canada 1971." To involve the primary grades in a similar project the principal and teachers plan- ned a “Pioneer Study” for them. This study was a month in 'the‘planning stages and in- cluded kindergarten, grades 1, 2 and some grade 3’5 with junior special education chil- dren. The program began with a visit to Black Creek Pioneer Village on the moring of April 28. The children showed such great interest and so many pro- jects were undertaken that the program was continued over the following week.

King Town Mayor Ken Mactaggart states that you’re a wrecker or salvager of old cars “just as soon as you take a wheel or a door off a car.” He was commenting on a report by Coun- cillor Jack Van Luyk of numerous complaints of residences being used as sites for wrecking and salvaging cars on the third goncession. Mr. Van Luyk termed the usages as “eye- sores” and added that police efforts to combat such “usages have, in my humble opinion, been to no avail. “Whenthe police advise these residents to clean up their cars they just place them out of sight for awhile and then within three months the same situation occurs again.” Complaints In King Re Wrecked Cars Will Receive Study By Town Council Along with many other pioneer articles made by pupils of Oak Ridges Public School’s kinder- garten, grade 1, 2 and 3 and special education class during an immersion study of “Pioneer Life” recently were this log cabin and covered wagon.

Mr. Van Luyk still worried about just “what cofistitutes a wrecker or salvager. Someone may be just fixing his own car.” Mr. Mactaggart said “we already have the authority to handle the situation now." Councillor Murray Sheardown suggested council should contact the Department of Trans- port and request “guidelines on just what con- stitutes a wreck. “Storage and wrecking operators have to have a licence from the province as well as the municipality.” picture‘s. questions and an- swers about pioneer living. One question. for example, was: “Did children have to worry about table manners?" and the answer was, “Yes. they had to stand while eating. You could not say a word at the table. There was a book of manners and you had to know every one of them.” The teachers felt the child- ren received a glimpse into pioneer life and a real feeling of pioneer living at Pioneer Village which was very help- ful to them in their projects. “The Ant and the Grass- hopper” on tape was played for the children, noting how the ant worked to store food just as the pioneers did. It was apparent that the chil- dren enjoyed this program very much.

He claimed the province can only afford $105 million of the projected $112 million for this purpose. Mr. White favors a fresh look at the allocation of space in universities, indicating that space might be calculated on the basis of median attendance rather than enrolment since classes were rarely full.
