Vol. XXVII. No. 31 Council Asks Government to Assume Greater Share in the Cost of Education Resolution to be Discussed at Annual Meeting of Ontario Municipal Association. Failure of More Money from the Government Council Suggests Representation on School Boards. No Reflection on School Boards. Timmins council held t weekly meeting yesterday with all members present Emile Brunctte who is still on business. Acting Mayor erts, back from his military Camp Niagara, was in the c mecting. Some discussion took vlace on one of the resolutions that was vassed at last week‘s meeting when the minutes were read. The resolution in question was the one asking the provincial governâ€" ment to assume a greater share of the cost of education in Ontario. ~â€"The resolution as nassed at the last meeting asked that the provincial gov_ ernment assume a larger portion of t_he cost and this week Councillor Bartleâ€" man commented that he thought the resolution was supposed to call for the government to assume the full cost. Representation was also asked for on the schcol boards so that the municiâ€" pality could have a closer contact with them. Mom“oooooooooooJ Acting Mavor Bill Roberts suggested that the council should not criticize the school boards as they had been very capable and efficient in the past. He commented that the position of the town would probably be even better than it is, if some of the former councils had been as efficient as the school boards had been. Councillor Ellen Terâ€" ry promuntly revlied that there was no intenion to criticize the school koards. The idea instead was to secure greater and closer co_operation between the school‘ boards and the council in the general interests of all. § 4 «mss | on PR EV uies general interests of all. A new resolution was drafted asking the Government to assume the full cost of education, or failing that to give the municipality authority to have represâ€" entation on the school boards.

They also said they were holdâ€" ing their annual flower show in the near future and were in need of funds. The Ontario Society of Plumbing In_ spectors wrote to the council asking them to send a representative to their annual convention that will be held in London on September â€" 25th and 26th. Councillors Spooner and McDermott were apsointed as a committee to deâ€" cide whether it was feasible to send a representative or not. They will bring in their report next week. A resolution from the City of Kingâ€" ston was forwarded to the council askâ€" ing for their endorsation. The resolu_ tion asked the Dominion government to defer the callâ€"up of key municipal employees. No action was taken on it, as the resolution was shelved.

Idea of Air Cadets Likely to be Adopted by All Allied Nations. "Timmins may well be proud of the fact that the first squadron of the Air Cadets in Canada was formed in Timâ€" mins." ‘This was but one of the many most interesting and informative facts given by Francis Woodbury, secretary of Timmins Air Cadets in an address at the Kiwanis luncheon on Tuesday of this week! at the Empire hotel. The ‘speaker in very able way Clearly explained theâ€"Air :GCadets organization in Canada, its history; administration and purposs. / _ $8® fow it % +% en mt e i Mr. Woodbury has just â€"completed two courses in Air Cadet administration. which specially qualified him to deal with his subject, particularly as he was active in the organization and directioin of the Timmins Squadron which is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. "The impetus to form the Air Cadet League of Canada came from England where the Air Training Corps, as it is known over there, came into being in February, 1941. Now, a vear and a half later, there are more than 250,000 boys from 15 to 18 enrolled, led by 7,000 comâ€" missioned officers and 12,000 civilian instructors," Mr. Woodbury told the gathering. "Australia and New Zealand have their Air Cadets, we have ours and now the United States have studied and adâ€" opted our plan and have their Air Youâ€" th of America." The Air Cadet League of Canada was organized in February, 1941, and began to function with provincial committees in June of last year. Mr. Woodbury said that Timmins applauded the idea right from the start, thanks to the foreâ€" sight and leadership of Percy Moisley who wrate regarding the formation of a Timmins squadron away back in Januâ€" ary, 194‘, immediately after Air Minister Power spoke about forming an Air Ca_ det League in Canada. The speaker added that he would not be surprised to see all members of the United Nations adopt some type of Air Cadet training very shortly. "Constant correspondence got results and Timmins may well be proud of the fact that the first squadron in Ontario was formed here. The No. 10 Air Caâ€" det Squadron of Canada was formed here in Sentember 1941. "From October on, squadrons were formed in Canada almost every day. The Air Cadet League of Canada did a magnificent job with the close coâ€"operâ€" ation of the Roval Canadian Air Force, but it soon became evident that coâ€"opâ€" eration was not enough to keep pace with the enthusiasm which swent the country." ‘The local squadron‘s secretary went on to inform his audience that the R.C. AF. on March 14 of this yvear took over the administration and training of Air Cadets, while the Air Cadet League fosâ€" ters formation of new squadrons and provides general assistance and direcâ€" tion to the movement. Methods of forming a new squadron were then explained by the speaker. The first step,. as he explained it, is to get a representative group of responsible citizens, a service club, a group of seryâ€" ice clubs or a school to apply to the league for permission to organize a unâ€" it.

The league appoints the officer to his rank. He is on six months‘ probation before his rank is,confirmed. At the same time the sponsoring body must enroll bovs between the. ages of 15 and 18 vears of age, preferably er‘to 15 who have a desire to fly and who are ntédically fit. * q When these jobs are completed the squadron is ready to get under: Way Mr. Woodbury next explained part of the adminstration of Air Cadet squadâ€" rons under the direction of the R.C.A.F. In the headauarters of each Training Command there is an Air Cadet Liaison Officer unit from which all orders are issued to commanding officers of each squadron in that command. The adâ€" jutant of each squadron is the confidenâ€" tial secretary of the commanding officer., In concluding his address, Mr. Wood_ bury dealt briefly with the purpose of the Air Cadet organization. "Command of the air svells viectory or defeat. The Battle of Britain, the batâ€" tles of the Coral Sea and Midway Isâ€" land are but a few instances to back this statement. "You can‘t conscript an airman. He has to have the desire to fly or he is no good. It takes more than a year to train him for actual combat flying. The day will come and soon when potential material will be low. Then Canada‘s Air Cadets will be the reserve feeding the lifeâ€"blood into the Commonwealth Air Training Plan."
