next five unless pressured into action he charged he referred to one basement classroom in the building as a dungeon on the question of staff mr bowes pointed to a 15 percent turnover in teachers at the con clusion of the june term rather than acquire replacements to fill each of these positions he recommended putting nonteaches like- principals and librarians back in the classroom some of them dont- do anything but mark at tendance anyway he said he mentioned other areas also where cut backs in cost could be accomplished with respect to master teachers he said their use was questionable at the secondary level but helpful in the elementary classroom feci the crunch candidate john mcmurray said that most people fail to realize thatup to 60 per cent of local tax dollars go to education he noted that while a plea had been made to elect a businessman to the board from whitchurch- stouffville it was also a businessman- who had advocated a 100 percent increase in the members honorarium its not a fulltime job he argued so there shoulnt be that kind of monetary at- tachment the speaker urged cutbacks in spending wherever possible and called on the people to co operate in achieving this end if we do not then the taxpayer is going to feel quite a crunch he warned he referred to inside conditions at summit- view school as deplorable mr mcmurray agreed with candidate jennie bangay that more stress should be placed on core subjects so that young people might better adapt to the world they must live in v he supported the role played- by master teachers saying they tended to present fresh ideas to the school are todays teachers happy he asked they should be he replied the negotiating committee was pretty- good to them he noted however that he wasnt so sure- the same at mosphere-
