School Board was presented Hig .|with a bill of $3,455 to pay for sewer and water extensions to the new high school on Henry Street. The account was passed by the Board at a meeting this week, but not before Mr. Dryden. a member of the District Board representin the Township of Whitby, voice considerable objection. The account was for both sewer and - water extensions placed to service the school by the Whitby Public Utility Commission. The account was made up of $1,527 for a water extension to the school. The total cost of the six-inch ex- tension, running 720 feet, along Trent Streét from King to Henry Street and down Henry to St. John Street, was $3,054. This replaced a one-inch main which had serviced the households in the area. A let- ter from the Whitby PUC explained that the Commission this year was faced with some $40,000 in new extensions and was operating ona close budget. The PUC therefore was asking the High School Board | Member Objects To Board Paying For Sewer, Water cided to build a new school, plo posers had claimed that Whitby should be the site since sewer and water is available. Therefore, he argued, if that was why the school was being ocnstructed in Whitby, the_sewer and water should be supplied without cost to the High School Board. | Trustee Don Wilson, a represent- (ative from the Town of Whitby, (claimed that it would not be fair for the taxpayers of the town to bear? the full cost of the con- struction of these services. He claimed that according to this plan, the Township of Whitby, which shared the High School, would also be liable to a share of the cost for supplying the services. He fur- ther argued that if the sewere and water lines had been build along Henry Street, the Board could not have purchased the land for twice the price. | Mr. Dryden disagreed on that ipoint and raised another. He stated that in the deal for the new High School, the present high school would be "given' to the Town of Whitby for about $10,000. "Well, who paid for that school in the first place," asked Mr. | Wilson. Mr. Dryden reminded him that when Whitby came into the district, | the new district board was to re- | ceive all assets of the old board. : He further claimed that the new | |water lines and sewer lines were bring in a number of new houses into that section of the town. He again stated that at the be- ginning of talks about a new high { man, available but have to be paid for, by the Board. \ "A little piece of skulduggery' | replied Mr. Dryden. | The motion to pay "the account | to the PUC carried with Mr. Dry- den opposing.

The Commission, he said, had accomp- lished in only a few months, what many towns larger and smaller had been trying to do for years in their efforts to attract new in- dustries. Mr. Wells believed - that Whitby was making excellent pro- gress, and he noted that since last April, when he was here last, he noted many changes in the town. Of general work of the Chamber of Commerce in the Town, Mr. Wells said that "there is so much help you can get from a Chamber of Commerce but most of you do not take advantage of it." The Chamber could render a wide Tangle of service to the community if it could get' the proper sup- port from those who might natur- ally be expected to be interested in it. Mr. Wells advised those selling memberships to tell the people what the Chamber had done and contemplated doing. The speaker said that there are in Canada 7 active Chambers of Commerce and Boards oi irace, with over 10,000 business men as members, and 200 who were less active. He said that the Canadian Chamber stood ready. at.all times to uphold. the local organization. SEE BRIGHT FUTURE President R. G. Langford vre- dicted that the next twelve mo.ths would be outstanding ones for Whitby, therefore it was import- ant that the Chamber of Commerce should seek to play its part. He predicted further that in the next ten years Whitby would be of city status. He pleaded that the best possible members be chosen for officers and directors. He also ad- vocated a drive to obtain more members. Community Yule Tree Is Approved Chamber of Commerce last even- ing endorsed a recommendation of the directors that the Christmas community tree held last winter with a great measure of success be repeated this Christmas, with the recommendation that its scope be enlarged if possible. It was left in the hands of the directors, with power added to their numbers, to arrange the event as they see fit. It was ft opinion of some that it could enlarged on if could be obtained. Primarily for the children, several suggestions for enlargement and improvement were made and these no doubt will be considered by the direc- tors. On the matter of financing, President Langford sald that he believed that it would be necessary to get $5.00 from each merchant. Last year two collections had to be made, the second when Mr. Langford witnessed a similar event in Stouffville which attracted thous- ands of people and involved the expenditure of much more money than was raised here. RECORD PRODUCTION CANBERRA (CP) -- Australia's total wool production in 1952-53 is estimated at a record 1,280,000,000 pounds, 18 per cent higher than a year ago. Australia now is es- timated to have more than 120,- 000,000 sheep. ADDITIONAL WHITBY NEWS (Continued on Page 20) Night Classes At High School Sixty-four have registered at the Whitby High School for night class- es. At the October meeting of the High School Board in Whit- by this week, Principal Don Tutt reported that a total enrallment of 64 had been made on the open- ing night. Four classes are being conducted. Mr. Tutt stated that there were 14 New Canadians registered for the first year course in basic English; 19 registered for the second year class in basic English; 16 registered for the calss in com- mercial and typing; and 15 regis- tered for the sewing classes. e sewing and commercial classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings every week, the first year English on Tuesday evenings and the second year English classes on Thursday evening. Mrs. Lee con- duets the sewing classes; Mr. An- drew the commercial, Mr. Pecun- ier the second year basic English; and Mr. Tutt the first year English classes. Board members learned that there is a registration fee of per night and also, were advised that the teachers would expect the same salary for the night classes as last year, namely $8 per night. Some members of the Board voic- ed the opinion that this would be expensive instruction if any of the classes were to drop off to three of four students. dl After some discussion a motion was passed stating that classes be concluded when attendance dropped below ten in any class. Later this motion was rescinded and another motion was carried which authorised Mr. Tutt to re- rt to the Board for any action the enrollment of any class dropped below ten members.
