Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Hector Dufresne and \ i . WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS os For HS Is Chairman of the Whitby District High School Board, W. D. Thom- son, explained features of the 1953 budget to Board members as it was approved this week, and he pointed out the changes in grants, salaries and other factors which have resulted in a $9,192 increase in levy to he made this year. Cost of the school area is shared be- tween the Town of Whitby and the ment ratio basis. Mr. Thomson said: y Expenditures shown for the Management and Property Com- mittees are approved estimates and represent an increase over those in last year's budget. The amounts shown for - transportation and for fees payable to other boards are the same but the amount included for bank interest is two hundred dollars less. "Beginning with 1953 all grants {paid by the Department of Educa- {tion will be included in the gener- al grant, no special grant for Home Economics and Shop or for night classes. The grant on H.E. and Whitby Town Explains Why Levy Township of Whitby on an assess- | 70 Population Equalized Assessment Percent 5774 Increased Shop is now based on the number | of classrooms used for these pur- poses and the average daily at- tendance of all pupils. Teachers' salaries are not considered when | estimating grant. "Owing to a decrease in the | assessment per capita our grant on attendance will be $112 per pupil compared with $110 for 1952. The percentage paid on aproved cost and for. night classes is the same, ""There are nine complete public school sections in the area on each of which we get a grant of $100. "This is the first year since the area was formed that no fees will be received for pupils attending from districts of other secondary school boards, meaning a consider- able loss in revenue. "Transportation cost the board $5,046.25 but the grant will be paid on approximately $4,560 since there is a maximum on which this grant is paid. "The following figures were used in estimating our grant and in de- termining each municipality's share of the levy: ; to be held on Tuesday evening next | Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Irwin, all | of Niagara Falls.

Kin Fund Puts Set In Fairview Lodge Three years ago it was suggest- ed by a citizen of Whitby writing in The Times-Gazette that a worth- _ while project for some organiza- tion to embrace would be the pur- chase of a television set for resi- dents at the Ontario County Home for the Aged. Last year, the Kins- men Club of Whitby adopted the project with ,the result that the Men's Lounge at Fairview Lodge was furnished with a TV set from which the residents now derive daily pleasure. However, there are 200 persons at Fairview Lodge and the Jndies have not access to the location the present set. Therefore the Kins- men Club has now begun raising money for a second installation. The people at the lodge live in comfort but have little enough to do all day long. Particularly are facilities for recreation lacking. In a recent report of the provincial ? Second TV inspector, it was stated that while Fairview Lodge is excellent in every respect, there is too little recreation and too little of interest to keep the residents occubied. nced in an advertisement in this issue, the Kinsmen intend to install without delay, a set in the Ladies' Lounge of the lodge. Donations of any amount will help | - even very modest amounts. Do- | nations may be made by leaving {them at the Whitby office of The | Times-Gazette or by a phone call to Stan Martin or Sid Correll, days---652, evenings--663 or 637, An excellent example of how | this project is being greeted by | the public was shown this reporter yesterday as he talked to Mr. Cor- | rell over a cup of coffee. Mere mention of the club's project brought a $2 bill flying across the | coffee cup from the right and a $1 | donation from another person on the left. Andy Muir Will Work At School The following brief items of busi- ness were dealt with by Whitby District High School Board. The resignation of Margaret J. Ruse, teacher of French and Latin, was accepted. The management committee was authorized to act upon any further resignations (on- one is anticipated) and: to fill e positions as early as possible. Andrew Muir was engaged as caretaker of the new High School which is to be built, at a salary of $3,600 per year. Mr. Muir will also act as 'Clerk of Works" dur- ing construction.

He is a grand- son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rob- erts, Byron Street North, Whitby, and attended public school and high school here before the family moved to Kingston. The University periodical says of "Although small in stature, Eck has measured up to the rest of the outstanding athletes in KCVI and has played on the Senior Football team for two years, scaring quite a few touchdowns." . He takes part in many sports but perhaps the most interestin, one is his talent for surfboard rid- ing on the breakers. Many people think that this is easy but it is not the ordinary surfboard rid- ing that Eck does. It is a rough, strenuous sport, not on calm water but over huge rollers.

Noon Lunches Served To 4 At Hillcrest The meeting of the Hillcrest Home and School wqs held on Thursday, February 26, with the president, Mrs. Cyril Heard, in the chair, During the business meeting, ar- rangements were made for a pub- lic speaking contest for the chil- dren to be held at the March meet- ing. Plans for the rummage sale on May 2 were announced. A report was read stating that during the winter months an average of 44 pupils a day were served with soup or cocoa at noon: A variety of musical numbers were given by Mrs. Kinsmen, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. P, Spratt and Mrs. P. Cook, former "members of the Treble Clef choir accompanied by Mrs. P. N, Spratt. These were greatly enjoyed by all present. An impressive candle lighting service to commemorate Founders Day followed 'with rs. B Muckle as narrator. Candles were lit by Joanne Lindsey, in memory of Mrs. Courtice, Mrs. J. Frost re- presenting the teachers, Mrs. Wm. Forbes the Federation, and Mrs. Cyril Heard our Home and School. The speaker of the evening was Mrs, O. E. Palmer of Toronto, Guidance Counsellor at the Depart- ment of Education and was intro- duced by Mrs. Lloyd Gibson. Mrs. Palmer gave excellant ad- vice on how to understand -chil- dren. Besides giving them a feeling of security, we must teach them to stand on their own feet, teach them to walk so they can walk away from us' To hold them back is against nature. The lesson from the Bible to "love one another," teaches them to get along with other children. We must try to understand them as individuals even In the class- rooms. School work is only one phase of their education. Working with their hands or with colour, etc., are important too.- Each child is different and interesting in his own way. We must not catalogue their faults but rather give con- structive advice. If we can't do them good don't hurt them. It is important to give full in- terest to their stories and ideas while- they are young and not be- little their plans, If we do not listen when they are young we may not have the chance later on. Mrs. Palmer advised showing our chil- dren that they must work for things, but that work is part of the fun. If we grouch and grumble and give them the impression our work is dull, they will feel the same way. We should "derive real satis- faction from our work, no matter what our vocation. The speaker and singers were thanked by Mrs, A. Crawford. A birthday cake for Founders Day and tea were served by Mrs. Kzan- oski and the room mothers.
