Alderman Wagner is not alâ€" one in this feeling, for some time ago, Professor Ralph Kruâ€" eger of the University of Waterâ€" loo suggested that it may be time to make membership manâ€" datory. _ : Therefore Be It Resolved that membership in the regional deâ€" velopment association be manâ€" datory for all villages, towns and cities.

Miss Mary E. Johnston of MacGregor Senior School will be the first "Lady" vice princiâ€" pal of a public school in this area, and has been assigned to Empire Public School. Miss Johnston joined the staff in Sept. 1952. Mr. Dutton also considered it unfair to say that the roads in the area were not designed for the increasing amounts of trafâ€" fic, and that the streets were deâ€" teriorating because of the inâ€" creased traffic. The roads were designed for the amount of trafâ€" fic expected _ of _ secondary streets (Margaret and Lincolg@ and the deterioration was due to a watermain that had burst some time ago and had underâ€" mined much of the street, nec essitating considerable road reâ€" pairs. Paul L. Fretz, also a member of MacGregor Senior School, will become viceâ€"principal of Elâ€" izabeht Ziegler Public School. Mr. Fretz joined the staff in September, 1958. The Board was most impressâ€" ed with the calibre of applicants from its staff, for these posiâ€" tions. Concerning a charge, includâ€" ed in the brief, that the increaâ€" sed traffic was dangérous to school children, D‘Arcy Dutton admitted that this could easily be, and felt that more traffic guards would not be amiss.
