TEACHER'S PROBLEM -- WHO'S WHO? Mrs. Bertha Preston of Moncton, N.B., may have a slight problem in her duties as Grade | teacher at Sunny Brae school this year -- de- termining which of the STUDY OF WHITBY Town Should Secure Its Own Cemetery This is the sixth in a ser- fes of articles dealing with a survey of the Town of Whitby. The article deals with the question of ceme- terles. WHITBY (Staff) Whitby should consider opening 'ts own public cemetery in the near fu- ture, University of Toronto stu- dents advise, The receommenda- tion was included in a compre- hensive study of the town, made this year by post-graduates at- tending the School of Architec- ture, Division of Town and Regional Planning. The students based. their re- commendation on the basis of an expected 3,664 deaths over the next 20 years. Four ceme- teries, outside the town limits, have served the requirements of 88.5 per cent of the popula- tion to date. In conducting their survey on cemeteries, the students discov- ered only one cemetery lies within the town. This cemetery belongs to St. John's Anglican Church and is located on the north-east corner of Brock and Victoria sts, 147 YEARS OLD There are no early records pertaining to its founding, how- ever, the oldest tombstone there- fm bears the date 1817, The cemetery is at least 147 years cially during the depression, many persons of other religious denominations were buried in this cemetery, The cemetery board, however, has now re- verted to its earlier stand, adopting a policy stating no one but members of the Angli- can churches may use the plots, As a result, during the last five years, an average of only 13 residents have been buried in the cemetery, The annual aver- age of deaths in the town over the same period is 241 One important factor to bear in mind, however, is not all per- sons dying in Whitby are local residents. The total figure of 241 includes inhabitants of both the Ontario Hospital and the Fair. view County Home, These people should not be counted when calculating cemetery needs since for the most part they are buried.in plots in the town of their origin The students discovered that vital statistics show 112 local Whitby residents died per year, between 1953 and 1963. Using this figure as a basis the stu- dents estimate that 11,5 of the total dead were buried annually in St. John's Cemetery. The re- maining 88.5 per cent were bur- ied outside town limits, mainly in four nearby cemeteries, These cemeteries are: the old. Originally it was designed for burial of local Anglicans. .

Expansion of local industry and subsequent growth of young- er segments of the population is expected to change this pic- jture, As a direct result of this change the death rate in Whitby is expected to drop to a figure! more compatible with that of neighboring municipalities, Osh- awa's present death rate is 7.1 per cent while Whitby Town, ship's figure is 8.0 per cent. The 7.5 figure for Whithy is esti- mated along these lines, Over the next 20 years Whitby's total number of deaths is estimated at 4,139, figuring on an eventual population of 33,000 by 1984. St. John's Cemetery has 120 junused but survey plots at the jpresent time. These plots are located in the south-west portion jot the cemetery. Directly to the jeast lie an additional five and jone half acres of unsurveyed jchurch lands where 627 plots could be located. As a result, jthis cemetery nas approximately 747 available plots, Should the religious composi- ition of the population remain jthe same, 11,5 per cent of the expected total burials will take |place at this cemetery, Require- |ments for the next 20 years, based on-this estimation, indi-| jit can then be concluded this] jcemetery has adequate space \for its burial needs and Mrs, Vernon Harrison of Moncton, --CP Wirephoto TREES OFFERED AS '67 SCHEME WHITBY (Staff) The Garden Club in Whitby has offered a donation to the town in celebration of the Centennial Ceremony in 1967.
