' The question of raising the sal- aries. of the local teachers was raised in a letter sent to the Board of Education by the Ontario School Teacliers' Association. Principal E. H. Graham of the Whitby High School told the Board that a request for a higher wage scale would be submitted by the High School teachers sometime in Of Local . 'Gordon Osborne, member of the Board, stated that he thought scmething definite should be done in the matter prior to the end of the present school term or the Board might have difficulty in ac- quiring, a sufficient number of teachers to properly staff the schools in Whitby. - He added that many Ontario towns had recently raised the salaries of their teachers and that this might possibly cause local teachers to consider going else- here to teach. WiThe Board, as a whole, expressed the view that this would not be the case providing definite action was taken in this Jalier prior to the of the sch year, on management committee report also recommended that no action be taken at the present time in the matter of providing transportation for school children living north of the CPR. tracks.

Although there has been no def- inite information released concern- ing the agenda of the meeting it is believed the question of the asso- clation's decreased budget will be discussed, The Town Council , de~ creased the proposed budget of the Recreational Association by almost $1,000 and this fact has led to ex- tensive alterations in the plans for coming months' activi Whitby Township Appoints New Road Manager The Whitby Township Council ap~ pointed Frank Ormiston, Brooklin, as Township Road Superintendent at a salary of $1,800 annually at the last regular council meeting held in Brooklin, In making the appoint- ment, the council spokesman said that Mr, Ormiston was the only ap= plicant that had pre Ss experience in thig line of work. r. Ormiston was Township Road Superintendent in Whitby Township from 1940 until 1042. A request for a stricter enforce- ment of the 30 m.p.h. speed limit in Brooklin was urged and resulted in the assurance by Provincial Police officers that periodic checks would be made in the area to see that motorists observed the limit, An estimate of the expenditure on township roads for the year 1947 was also presented to council and totalled in the neighborhood of $30,- 000 and the approval of the Ontario Department of Highways was re- quested for the same, N ewMembers) oin. Local Camera Club At the regular meeting of the Whitby Camera Club held earlier this week two new members were added to the roster of the club, and officials are hopeful that this is an indication that the club is catching on in the town. - The meeting was well attended and two addresses on various as- pects of photography were given by Marjorie Ruddy, local photographer and C. Greenfield, former motion picture projectionist. The remainder of the meeting was spent in a constructive criti- cism exercise in which snaps sub- mitted by club members were used as a basis for explaining the finer points of the hobby. Club officials have expressed the wish that club members will submit snaps of outdoor winter scenes at the next "snap night" and it is planned to award a prize to the member submitting the best photo= graph, Although the club has only been in operation for a short time the membership is growing every week and it is planned to bring in out- side speakers when club attendance warrants it.

Batty, Editorial Comment | The Proposed New School The question has been asked as to why the Whithy Board of Education proceeded as it did to incur an archi- tect's fee for the preparation of plans for a new public school before it was certain that the property owners would grant the approval which is being sought at the polls on February 26. This is a proper question and one that has been answered fully by thé chairman of the Board in a recent statement. There is a very definite procedure through which a matter such as this must pass. The first word of approval must come from the Department of Education, the next from the Ontario Municipal Board and the final one from the town itself, either through the Council or by vote of the property owners. In requesting the approval of the Department of Edu- cation, architect's plans are required to be submitted with an estimate of the cost. These are essential to any consideration of the matter by the Department, and rightly S0. Even if the Department were not contributing to the cost (and in the case of Whitby it is estimated it will con- | wa tribute about 50 per cent), it would still insist on actual plans being presented in order to give its approval to the general lay-out, for the Department bases its annual grants | 1st on such things as lighting, ground accommodation, etc. ventilation, equipment, play- It is obvious, therefore, why a Board of Education must have plans to submit when requesting approval of its proposals. In the case of the Whitby Board it next sought approval of the Town Council and finally it submitted its request to the Municipal Board. These are the steps every board is required to follow when considering a new school and it is evident that the local Board has been quite correct and proper in its procedure. Another point on which questions have been asked, is as to the proportion of cost to be paid by the Department of Education. At the present time, the Department contributes to the Town of Whitby a sum equal to fifty per cent of its educa- tional costs. During the year 1947, the Board of Education will receive from the Province one-half of its total educa- tional outlay in 1946, this payment being made on the basis of the report which the Secretary-Treasurer of the Board sends in to the Department at the close of the year 1946. The building of the proposed new school would be paid for by the issue of debentures to the extent of approxi- mately $225,000, which would be retired by payment of principal and interest over a period of fifteen years. These payments would be regarded as costs of education, and the Province would pay to the town its proportion of these costs, which at the present time is fifty per cent. There is no reason to suppose that this proportion would be decreased, and in fact the present-day tendency is for the Province to assume a larger share of educational costs as the importance of education becomes increasingly recognized. It is entirely likely, therefore, that at least half of the cost of the new school would be met by the Ontario Department of Education. In reference to the issuing of debentures for a new school, it has been well pointed out that whereas, in 1920 when the King Street School was constructed debentures carried an interest rate of 54, or 6 per cent, the present rate of 3 per cent or less cuts in half the cost of carrying debentures as compared with the former issue. In other words, Whitby"s share of the cost of the new school, which might be taken roughly as likely to be $115,000 would in- volve in interest on the debentures only as much as a $60,000 ¢ {school would have cost 26 years ago. growth of the town in the last quarter century, its greatly Considering the increased assessment and its gore prospects for the future, 0 it would seem apparent that the st of the proposed new school to the taxpayer will be much less formidable than would at first appear.

Whitby showed that they were masters of the game right from the start as they scored two goals before one minute of play had passed. McCloskey picked the puck up from the face off and went right in on goal to fire one home at the .29 mark of the game, Williams came right back and sank a pass from McCloskey to make it 2-0 wiia less .than a minute of play elapsed. The Port Hope squad pulled themselves to. gether and held the Wings off the scoring sheet until McCloskey sank his second goal of the game, Lintner followed with a goal as he sank Williams' pass from the corner, Gates then started off on his road to 7 goals netting his first, McCloskey followed with his third of the game on a neat three way passifig play with Lintner and Williams. Gates added his second of this frame in the dying seconds of the first period, Re- feree Crombie had a busy time as he sent 6 fellows to the cooler to repent their 111 doings. The second frame saw the 'Wings add four more without the Port Hope club coming even close to getting one, The first goal was a brotherly combination with L. Yuill scoring on a pass from brother Don, The second goal of this period was one of the best of the period as Don Yuill who plays defence picked up a loose puck at centre ice and went through the entire Port Hope team and let go a sizzler that beat Jex all the way, Gates added his 3 and 4 goals of the game as the period drew to a close with the Whitby club all around the Port Hope net, In the third frame it appeared | w as if McEwen was headed for a shutout but luck was against him as Elliot slapped one that caught the corndr giving him no chance whatsoevei, Gates had made it 13-0 before this goal was scored and the fans were beginning to glve up hope of the Port Hope team even getting one counter. L. Yuill added his second tally as the period was littlé mere than 'half gone, Gates added his 7th goal at the 14.16 mark to com- plete the barrage of rubber against Jex who by this time had a sore neck turning to fish the disk out of the met behind him, This game brings the total goals scored by the Whitby team to 149 in only 13 games which should be close to a record. Gates in scoring 7 goals and assisting in one more, boosted his scoring av- erage considerably, This would have been a valu- able game to the Port Hope team as it was one of the four point variety and would have given them a firmer hold on second place.
