Early Sunday morning an overheated furnace ignited floor and desks. By the time the fire was detected and firmen ar- rived, the-interior of the school was gutted. Brooklin and Whitby fire departments responded. Roof and walls of the school were not damaged.

For_the past few years it has been badly overcrowd- ed and this year was "converted'"' into a two-room school by the ex- pedient of stretching a curtain across the room. Teachers are W. Slute of Raglan and Joanne Doner of North Whitby. Yesterday Chairman of the Board Loyd Sonely and trustees had a hurried conference over what to do with their 60 pupils but no deci- sion was reached. No accomoda- tion appeared to be available. It will take at least two weeks to re- pair the school. "The firemen did a great job," one of the trustees said last night. "If they hadn't responded so quick- ly, the entire school would have been razed." "Whitby firemen had my permis- | sion to answer the out-of-town calls," Mayor Harry Jermyn said today.

Court Will Decide If Shaw Request LONDON (Reuters)--The courts will decide early next year whether George Bernard Shaw's bequest for the study of a 40-symbol al- is a practical proposition just the Irish dramatist's last | Hing against convention. | The government public trustee, who is administreing the play- wright's complicated will, has asked the court how he should spend the money. Shaw died three years ago at the e of 94 and left £367,233 ($1. ,000), Death duties ate up about half the estate. After bequests to servants and relatives, it is unlikely that more than $100,000 will be left for study- the ssibility of introducing Shaw's lifelong ambition--an Eng- lish phonetic alphabet. For propaganda purposes, Shaw also ordered that his play And- rocles and the Lion should be translated into his alphabet by a ties expert and distributed to libraries. The money was to have come out of his estate.

Few people have the remotest idea of what Shaw's alphabet looks like, though he elaimed it would save a writer two months in every year. Generally speaking, it is based on the existing 26 letters with addi- tions of shorthand symbols to mark phonetie sounds which normally uire a combination of letters. nder his system all words would be spelled exactly as they sound. Shaw's will has been severely criticized in Britain, Lady Astor, a lifelong friend of Shaw, called it ridiculous. The playwright's will is not the first from the Shaw family to cause a headache. A British judge ruled in December, 1951, that a controversial bequest of $623,000 left by Shaw's wife on her death in 1943 was a true charity. The bequest was "to teach the Irish people self-control and the arts of social intercourse."

Whitby Public Bodies Guests of Dr. Fletcher Dr. Griffin, director of the Mental Health Council, outlined the scope of the coming international con- gress of mental health to be held in Toronto in August of 1954. This is a great honour for Canada and its endeavours should aid general mental health. The second paper was given by Dr. D. Gunn, of the Ontario Hospital, New Toronto. Dr. Gunn told of the advantages of drugs to render the convulsion under electro-convulsive therapy milder. There is some difference of opinion in different localities as to the need or advantages of such drugs. Dr. Gunn has been using the drug suaccinyl choline. He considered it to be of value. Oxygen must be available, usually used for safety. Dr. Gunn has now given 2,000 treatments using this drug.
