Wilson was speak ing in support of previous statement that perhaps dis trict collegiate board members should be elected rather than appointed by the various coun cils involved The Examiner has subse qucntly contacted several pres ent board members all of them ointed and several local ran with view to determ ining the thinking of interested persons in this matter Some of these comments are as follows Clifford Lockhnrt chairman Barrie District Collegiate Board There are advantages and disadvantages to both me thods Personally am in fav or of board members being selected by the voters through election But on the other hand know number of good men who would not consider duty on the board if they had to go through an election Pratt vicechairman There isnt too much comment than can be made hear that Mr Wilson suggested that an ad be put in the paper This is rather ridiculous state ment There is merit to hoth sides The provincial govern ment in its wisdom has decid ed that in the
