SHOW NEW METHOD A fairly new method o music teaching was demon- strated by Woodcrest School's Grade 1 and 2 classes. The Dr. Carl Orff music classes were begun with the recitation of a jingle or verse in rhythmic form. This was followed by clapping, tapping and snapping of fingers. Next came xylo- phone, tamborine and cymbal accompaniments. These classes were under the direction of Miss Marilyn Adams and Mrs. R. Rodgers. This system, due to successful results, will be gradually ex- panded to operate in other schools, | Mrs. Margaret Drynan, piano accompanist and supervisor of to Vincent Massey and Ritson schools.

Continued Mr. Singleton: "As the Roman Empire expanded, temple and private banks be- came quite common, In 210 BC, an ordinance named specific places in the forum where tab- ernae agentariae, or bankihg! offices were to be located.

The Bank Act re-| vision of 1944 required private bank notes be eliminated by/ 1950, or, sooner. Today, Can- ada's central bank, the Bank of Canada is the sole issuer of the country's currency. "'Oshawa's Toronto - Dominion! Banks, each have special dis-/ tinctions in their own right," said Mr, Singleton. The King and Simcoe streets Branch had that launched banking as we know it today.

"Since the metro government was formed the population has increased by about 50 per cent," he said, "'and by 1970 there will be more than two million peo- ple." To those people who propose amalgamation, Mr. Allen says, "this is not the answer for 1963 or the foreseeable future," which, he added, "isn't too far ahead." He said amalgamation would eliminate the individual coun- cils of the 13 municipalities with; just one large governing body, It would have 69 mem- bers.
