Trustees have been elected and, the first school will likely be at Dol-| lartown. The Midland Argus, whose; editor is chairman of the Board of` Education, criticizes the movement very severely and says that only a` small proportion of the Roman Cath-] olic taxpayers are -really in favor of the= proposed school. Twelve of the public school teachers are Roman Catholics. The Stayner Sun views with alarm, an unconfirmed report that the route` of the new highway will be changed` in the town of Stayner and made to turn north at the, east side of the C.N.: R. tracks and parallel the C.N. R. right-of-way to the 2nd line. This proposal, if it really exists, would be for the purpose of eliminating two railway crossings. which policy the Dept. of Highways endeavors to fol- low. The Sun argues that if this change were made any advantages that would acrue to the town, would be lost as traffic would not pass through the business section of the town. l uUl|\\.l IV \ll"'\l'\l`\I"\I I HIVU houvli | (Gravenhur~`t Banner) ` Many friends of R.
