Your consideration in the matter of watching over any trees planted near your home--in watering them, if dry weather continues and in "keeping the children from bending or break- ing them--will do much to ensure the long lasting beauty of our home town.

Farm Pons Backed by County Council Uxbridge, May 6-- Ontario County has no river conservation authority, but that is not stopping it from going ahead with a farm pond program. "The central section of the county is perennially threatened with drought and that, to some extent at least, has launched the program. County Council voted $1,000 to match the provincial dollar-for-dollar offer of. subsidies for farm ponds. The province is willing to spend up to $3,000 on farm ponds in any one county. | The farmer, under the provincial- county agreement, can obtain engin- cering advice and a subsidy of up to $100 on construction of a pond. Mini- mum capacity of the pond must not be less than 76,000. gallons. ; So far this year, 36 farmers have made applications to H. L. Fair, coun- ty Agricultural Representative, for engineering assistance and eventually, the subsidy. Applications are sent to Ralph Gregg, Lindsay. He is thé Province's Agricultural Engineer for eight coun- ties in East-Central Ontario. He makes test borings to ensure there is a water-holding soil at the site of the projected pond and, if satisfied with the site, roughs-out plans for the farmer. ; Mr. Gregg is also charged with the engineering 'details of farm drainage, remodelling, ventilation and special tillage problems, He also lectures and advises junior farmers' tractor clubs in-the: eight counties, Last year, six farm ponds were brought to completion in Ontario county. Prince Albert Schl Ouf Grows Building At the regular meeting of the Township -of Reach School Area Board held at Manchester Hall, on Wednes- day night, May 6th, a large deputa- tion of rate payers of Prince Albert school. section waited on the Board re- garding conditions under which the school was carried on. The mothers of the pupils were in the majority and were very much interested in the wel- fare of their children. As in most schools in the southern part of the Township, the school pop- ulation is increasing rapidly, ~ the Board is having difficulty keeping-the accommodation up with this growth, Apparently these growing pains start- ed about a year or so ago when the Board had to find a temporary room. This was done by fitting up a room in the basement (which was never in- tended for a permanent classroom). Some of the difficulties arising from this make-shift, and from which the complaints were built on -- uneven heat, poor ventilation, poor light, and now dampness, Fire hazard was also complained of. The climax which seems to have brought about the presence of the delegation was when the water bégan seeping in and lying on the floor. As a result of this dampness one of the mothers said, "My children had been continually ill with colds all winter." It looks as if the Board had a real problem on their hands, as the school population was steadily growing and would continue to increase. Some of the suggestions brought forward were: building an addition to the present school building, sce if a dwelling suitable for remodelling for a classroom could be secured, in- quire if it would be possible to secure'|* a room from the high school at Port Perry when the Public School moves out; .would it be possible to secure a building at Ajax such as was secured Business and Pleasure at Library Board Meeting The regular monthly board meeting of the Library was held in the Mem- orial Library last Thursday evening. All members were present and con- siderable business was transacted. In- asmuch as some of the members will meeting was not set. Ordinarily th¢ Board meets in the afternoon 'but for this occasion an evening time was chosen so that at the conclusion of the work session a special event could take place with friends of the members present in the common room, The planned event de- veloped into two events. The commit- tee had arranged a social hour to make a presentation to Mr. H. G. Hutcheson, Mrs... A. MacFarlane, the Board President, acted as chairman, calling on Mrs. M. Letcher a past president, to read the address of appreciation to Mr. Hutcheson. It very elequently re- viewed the thirty years of Mr. Hutch- eson's work as treasurer. Mr. C. V Purdy, Chairman of the property com- mittee, in a few well chosen words, tendered two gifts on behalf of the Board. Mr. Hutcheson, who was tak- en completely by surprise and was visibly moved, made the acceptance speech in his usual dignified manner. He recounted the struggle to raise funds with which to build the splendid memorial, now a credit to the com- munity, and an outstanding library in the province. Mrs, W. H. Harris, who had also served the Board for many years as chairman, and through the building years, in a reminiscent mood, recalled two important days, the laying of the corner stone and the grand opening by the Port Perry Memorial Hospital. It was also mentioned a new school might be in order : as the present one y dat Many other sug- Fostions were oat forward; but the paramount question is what is going to be done to better conditions. Some of these ratepayers were very outspoken in their condemnation of the present set up and were eager to find out when they could-took for im- provement. Chairman Fred Wilkinson, on 'behalf of the School Area Board, assured the delegation, the matter would be looked into, and inquiries made regarding some of the suggestion made." He 'sympathized with the mothers and fathers, but said it was a large pro- blem, and would require much con- sideration. It seems Mafichester school are be- ginning to have growing pains, too. The question of a consolidated school between Prince Albert and Manchester was a suggestion made -to cope with future developments.

Mrs. MacFar- lane, graciously accepted it for the Board and said it would be given a place of honour on "the fireplace. The word "fireplace" caused Mr. Hutcheson to récall the history of this beautiful repository for the Book of Remembrance.
