SCHOOL AREA QUESTION Weather Is Warm But Meeting Cool BROUGHAM (Special) The chairman of a meeting last week on the school area ques- tion in Pickering Township warned that. if discussion be- came as hot as the weather -- he would disband the meeting. Donald Gibson, a trustee of school section 10, Brougham, issued the warning. It was heed. ed by a group of people who filled the township hall. The meeting was called by Claremont school board and at- tended by trustees from all of the rural sections, along with members of the school board from school area two, the urban part of.the township. Mr. Gibson explained that Bill 54, recently enacted, pro- vided for the elimination of school sections and the estab- lishment of one school area and one board to administer it. Further, an amendment pro- vided that municipalities suck as Pickering Township, with rural and urban populations, may at the discretion of the Minister, have two separate school areas. NO DISCRIMINATION Fred Hawes, of the school area two board, explained his reasons for proposing a motion to the board that there be but one school area in the town- ship. This motion was passed and later endorsed by Picker- ing township council. "T feel that it is the only way to provide complete equal- ity for rural children," said Mr. Hawes. "They will not be discriminated against by certain boundaries." Mr. Hawes contended that there would be uniform aca- demic standards and central- ized supervision. He said he knew re would be difficul- ties "for politicians and lead- ers who like to run their own shows." NOT A MEMBER : Mrs. Eleanor McKean, refut- ing Mr. Hawes' arguments, was described in a previous council report as a member of the Rural Ratepayers' Association. She no longer represents that organization, but did speak on behalf of the rural residents of the township on the school area issue. She asked if any study had been made that the education of rural children did not com- pare with that of urban chil- dren, and the answer by school area two members was that there had not. "The basis of grade educa- tion," said Mrs. McKean, "'is to provide children for second- ary or university entrance. There was a remark made that in schools in rural areas, the children were changed." | Mrs. McKean had conferred with high school staff and been assured that rural children en- stiff cost for the north end to meet, I think it is going to be of benefit to the whole town- ship; in our end an improve- ment in the general level of education, and reduction of costs, We have a problem. We have asked before that this problem be shared. I feel that we cannot survive at the pres- ent rate without drastic action-- division of the township, If we cannot be united in school costs, then we cannot be united in anything. Residential de- velopment is creating a prob- lem in area two, I might point out that our jack of industrial assessment to balance the resi- dential is the problem." Mrs. McKean pointed out that the township debt in the urban part of the township was some- thing like $1,700,000, while the debt in the north was infinitely smaller. She agreed that the new legislation for one area would bring the mill rate, from the south down to 26 mills, and the north up to 26 mills, but that would just be to level off. "This rate will not. improve }our education one bit," she said, 'In order to improve we would have to go up to 28, 30, maybe 34 mills. There is a 19 per cent population (she was not sure of the exact percentage) who live in the rural area by choice, where the income is }made from the land. If you hav any idea of the problems of farming, you would know that we cannot afford $500 or $600 per year from the land." EMBARRASS FARMER Hugh Miller, of the rural faction, said: "When the urban dweller has his taxes raised 10 mills; they are increased on his house and lot, The farmer is increased on} all his buildings, all of his land -- even the back 50 from which he gets no income. Where jyou take an increase of $20 or $30, the farmer takes a raise of $100. It would embarrass a farmer in his business." "Farm after farm is for sale," continued Mr, Miller. "Farm- ers do not see any future in Pickering Township. If a farm- er cannot sell his farm, there is nothing to do but walk away and leave it. An abandoned farm leaves Pickering Town- ship with no' taxes, doesn't it?" Mr. Miller went on to say that the reeve, C. V. Laycox, must be at his wit's end try- ing to reconcile the two fac- tions, rural and urban, and that there was a distinct dif- ference in types of education wanted by either, and a dis- tinct difference in the financial picture. "How are you going to have being _short|? school board administer two types of education?" he asked. "We have this natura] split in the suggestion has been taken or not, but I expect to have a reply before very long." Councillors were present and some spoke, questioning the chairman, with Councillor. John Campbell complaining that he could not get a copy of a brief that was submitted to the de- partment of education's select committee by the Federation of Agriculture, The brief advocat- ed two school areas, and which is said to have influenced the minister to make the amend- ment to provide for two in cer- tain areas. The brief was explained by Councillor W. G, Newman, who accompanied the delegation as a member of the Federation of Agriculture, and not as a mem- ber of council. Mr. Newman Temarked that any one or any organization could have made a representation before the Se- lect Committee, Reeve C. W. Laycox said: "I came here for. one pur- pose -- to hear for myself the various views, Certainly I am not here to defend anything that I may have said in the past, nor to tell whet I may say in the future. I am in a unique Position, and am indeed at my wit's end. "In the 150 years of the town- ship's history, I am probably the first reeve to break every vote in the council chambers. I thoroughly dislike having the north against me or the south against me because I have made a decision, My decision will be made from the nutes I have taken here tonight wheth- |er it hurts you or helps you."
