Bowmanville. Ontario GEO. W. JAMES, EDITOX RATEPAYERS TO VOTE ON SCHOOL QUESTION During the course cf a year both the members cf the Town Council and Board cf Education are called on to make decis- ions that take a great deal of thought and determination. We feel that the present members cf both these civic bodies have a strong desire te do what they feel is best for the town, both for the present and future. We are certain that they do flot wish te hand -the property owner a huge tax bill but on the other hand they want to see that the town has the preper facil- ities to handie the steadily increasing number cf new homes with the natural increase in population. Last week these two municipal bodies met together and faced the problem cf what is te happen te Bowmanville's rapid- ly growing number of school-age children. The Board cf Education who are directly responsible for the accommodation and education of these children, after going over ail the angles, are strong in their opinion that four rooms should 15e added te the Ontario Street School te cost ap- proximately $56,000. The town's two elementary schools. as welI as the high school, are overcrowd- ed this year and emergency rcems have been set up te handle the increase. Next year according te a recçnt survey, begin- naers starting at the Public Schools will in- crease in numbers again follcwed by an even greater increase in 1952. Some citizens feel that the old South Ward School should be rençvated and put into use giving the Board two cf their four ,rooms, and if the kindergarten class- es were abolished the Board would have sufficient space te look after the increase. Members cf the Town Ceuncîl at the special meeting were undecided what the answer fe the problemn should be. Most of the ceuncillors f elt that the addition weuld be very fine but at the same time they are Worried about the ever-mounti*ng town debt. Rather than decide this con- troversial question themselves they voted te put the question before the people at the December Municipal Elections and let the ratepayers cf the town decide what they want. Lacking a truc picture cf the feeling cf the ratepayers we are sure that ceuncil teck the right step and called fer a vote which will gîve a definite opinion cf the man who foots the bis. We wi§h te cengratulate council on taking a stand' that will leave ne doubt in anyone's mind as te whether the tewn is taking the right' step or net. What the ratepayers will have te de- cide, when they vote for or against the building cf the new addition, is do they want adequate educational facilities with a pomplete modern curriculum and are willing te pay for it through taxes. The alternative is ever-crowded rooms, iack cf facilitites doing away with the kindergar- tens and the possible loss cf part cf the provincial grants threugh net meeting the Department of Educatien's standards. These are the questions that will face the individual marking his ballet next Dec- ember. One wag has ex'en suggested that the Federal Govemnment shculd be made te pay for new scheols, etc., as they did a large part in increasing the birth rate through the "Baby Bonus." Maybe they have something there. SUGGESTION ON DECENTRALIZING This editerial is directed te provincial and federal members cf parliament and to senior civil servants. But even if the idea it suggestions is that is going against us. The cost of liv- ing has risen another 1.4 points ta an all-time high o! 165.4. Tibetans, we read, are the world's ypnî-oiific tea drinkers. Ini that moun- --- Innd xve'd suppose folk would be more addicted to highballs Straight or bent, women xiii stili be creatures cf mystery. There's ne more authenticity in a vertical line than there is in a whalebone line. If the Conservatix'e party had been a believer in the free enterprise system in 1946 when the U.K.-Canada Wheat Azree- ment was Droposed by the Gardiner- Hewe - MacKinnon Liberal tiimNirate, and had taken a streng stand against the policy of bulk trading between gcverrx- nients, the Tories could make much pelit- ical capital eut cf the now tragic failure of that Agreement. As it is. Liberals, Tories, and C.C:Fers are ail painted with the same brush which led te a $357 mil- lion loss for Canadian wheat growers. The farmers' bankbooks are. howex-er. ne more in the red than our politiciens' faces. - NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE Individual people make sacrifices te buy life insurance, accident insurance, sickness insurance. They channel into these insurance payments a part cf the money that they ceuld use fer luxuries, even necessities. And they do se stili hoping that they wen't die Young and wen't have a serieus sickness or accident. Individual people believe that making such a sacrifice te previde insurance pro- tection for themselves and for their fam- ilies is ' ut geod, common sense. Whenr individual citizens cf a nation elect a parliament they expect its legis- lators te have as much common sense as they, themselves. They expect those elected representa- tives te buy insurance with a portion cf their tax payments, insurance against those calamîties which the individual as an individual finds it difficuit, if net im- possible, te guard against. Our members of parliament have prided themselves that they have bought with the electors' money a large measure cf domestic security through unemploy- ment insurance, old age pensions, mothers' allowances, health grants, etc. Yet, while this emphasis on domestie security has been great, and has been con- suming a lautge part of our tax dollar, we have been apparently failing te make adequate payments on our national life i surance. We are beginning, ail tee slowly, te raiize that higher old age pensions and bigger unemployment insurance benefits are cf little use te the dead or the en- slaved. If we want our legislators to increase cur life and liberty insurance by seeing te it that Canada has adequate military de- fences and makes its proper contribution te the maintenance of a world freedom, now is the time te tell them se - and in unmistakably clear and forceful termas. The life and liberty cf Canada and of each democratie citizen can be saved through collective insurance. And ne insurance is free. Its payments are sometimes made in human blood. THE PROS AND CONS 0F GOING BACK TO SCHOOL One of life's most important events which this year has been over-shadowed by the railway strike and the Korean war is that on Tuesday morning school re- cpened for another term. When we were yeung and one cf those yeungsters seriously affected by such a forthcoming event we would have resent- ed any editorial or comment which drew the fact te our attention. Now, we can look upon the occasion from f ar more angles. We can sympathize with the children whose days of relaxat ion -and freedom frem regimentatien are at an end for another year. We can sympathize wit.h Mothers who wiil be busy for the next few days buying clothes and mend- ing patches te make certain that their yeung hopefuls will be well-dressed for their cpening appearances before a new teacher. There are aise those whe, for the first time, wiil realize that their baby is ne longer an infant. He is now a school boy. We can't feel tee sorry for the teachers because they have had a couple cf months te either make extra money in summer employment, te obtain a nice tan at the cottage or te impreve their qualifi- cations with special courses. The only sympathy we can feel for themn is due te the knowledge that for the next several months, they wili have the task cf trying te discipline and educate children cf var- ious ages - a task which xiii take every bit cf patience and perseverance they have been able te store up during the summer months. Now that we have related the un- happy part of returning te scheol, we must admit that there are some compensations. There xiii be pleasant reunions between students, and a happy -prospect cf scheol * The Brampton, Ont., Conser- founding fhthers who initiated Canada's confederation were men who knew Democracy's big idea that, 'Ced shall rule În the af- fairs o? mon" and that it is from this idea and none other that the conception of man's equality and brotherhood springs." * Comments the Olds, Alta., paper: *Its not ail gravy-as a matter of fact, mest businesses wviIl admit that the gravy is get- ting thin -with cests rising al the time.
