Deputy-Reeve,' and Councillors Fred Christie, Arthur Catton, and Armour McMillan. When asked by the STAR whether they would let their names stand if nominated, most ex- pressed a wait and see at- titude. Here is what each said. Reeve Ed Oyler who has been in Reach Township politics for 13 years said "I just don't know yet. I haven't made up my mind."" He went on to say that there will be lots of problems and issues ~ coming up in the future such as regional government, industrial growth, and _ garbage disposal sight. But Mr. Oyler remains un- committed at this time, as to whether he will seek another term of office if nominated Saturday. : Mrs. Lucille Gray, Deputy- Reeve said, "Oh yes, it's likely I'll be trying to get back on Council." She ex- pressed some concern over what she called "uncertain times."' With the possibilities of regiona) government, she wonders where the municipalities are going. Maybe next year, there won't be any Reach Township," she said. Would Mrs. Gray seek the office of Reeve, if nominated? 'I, don't even know myself," she answers. Councillor Fred Christie, who has just completed his first two-year term would not commit himself. 'I might run again, if nominated," he said. "We'll know when the nomination comes." Arthur Catton, who has been a member of Council for four years said, "As far as I know, I'll .be seeking office again if nominated."

The decision was taken after Trustee Stanley Lovell told the board it would be the cheapest way of financing the work. It would not be eligible for government grants and the use of debentures would cost the board interest charges, he said. "Where possible, it should be done by funds that have been set aside," Trustee Lovell suggested. The capital reserve fund contains $500,000.

This will happen if a student receives a "recommendation" and is awarded his subjects prior to "the final examinations. Such a student will . be finished school June 9, while students attending schools ~ without' formal exams will not be out of school until June 16. . Under the policy, schools "with formal exams will end classes on June 9, with exams from June 12 to 16. Schools without formal exams will. end classes on June 16. Teachers will use the final | two weeks of June for counselling, attending staff meetings, preparing for the next year and curriculum revision. Students will receive their' exam results between June 26 - 30. I The policy was drawn up after a study by a staff committee. Policies affecting June attendance of secondary school students in 1972 are the responsibility of county boards and not the depart- ment of - education, under a recently issued department directive. - "Oh, do have a glass of wine.

Site for Ontario County third home for the aged County Council voted last week to investigate the possibility of establishing a third county home for the aged, rather than building a 50-bed addition to Lakeview Manor in Beaverton. The standing committee for -homes for the -aged received approval to report on establishing a third home and was authorized to seek approval of the depart- mentof social and family services for the construction - of an auditorium at Lakeview Manor. Council spent some time debating the merits of a new home in the central part of the county, or the 50-bed addition as originally suggested in the homes for the aged report. Committee chairman Mrs. Lucille Gray stated an ad- dition to Lakeview Manor would be more practical than a new building. There is no nursing home' or hospital in the north of the country, she said, and the government would be in a better position to subsidize an addition than a new home.
