G. M. Goodfellow said that all questions asked at the meeting con- cerning the school were legitimate questions, He stated that Deputy- reeve McIntyre had questioned whether the Town could afford to carry both the sewage expenditure , and the school expenditure in the same year, but said that he did not believe that there would be any particular advantage in delay- ing the building of a school for two or three years. Build Smaller School Deputy-reeve McIntyre said that his solution to the problem would be to build a school in the North- West ward although he stated that he had no particular site in mind. Mrs, Wells said that there was not a site available in the North-west Possible $300,000 Expenditure G. F. Osborne stated that he won- dered if the people were acquainted with the fact that if the costs of labour and materials go higher the final cost 'of the school could easily reach as high as $300,000. He said that he was definitely sold on the idea of more education but was not sold on the need for an eight- roccned school which would cost so much money and was not in favor of the location chosen. He sug- gested that possibly the Kinsmen Park in the North-west ward could be purchased and a smaller school erected on the site. F. C. Hatch stated that he could remember when the deben- ture debt in Whitby was $500,000 and with less taxpayers to handle it. He said that at that time no oné was hurt very much by it. Councillor H. Jermyn sald he wondered why the Town Planning Board had mot been consulted with regard to the proposed school, add- ing that it may have been possible that the Planning Board was not in existence at the tinmie the plans were drawn up. Not In Favor R. D. Ruddy said that he was in complete accord with what Mr, Os- borne had seid. He said that, al- though he believes the Board of Education deserved a great deal of credit for the work they have done on the question, he was definitely not in favor of the proposed new school.

Cobourg Hoopers Fail To Appear Villas Inactive Members of the Whitby Spruce Villa intermediate basketball team together with a large complement of fans, waited in vain last night at the Whitby High School for the team from Cobourg to put in an ap- pearance for a scheduled game in the recently formed Lakeshore Bas- ketball League. Team officials said that many phone calls placed to. Cobourg did not provide an explanation of why the Cobourg squad failed to ap- pear. Coach Ross Munroe of the Villas announced that the regular game could not be played but informed the spectators that the Villa squad would be split and the fans would have an opportunity to see the teem in action. Officials have made no announce- ment concerning the unplayed game but it is believed that Whitby will be awarded the game by de- fault. The next scheduled game for the Whitby squad is slated for Friday, Jan. 17th, and it is hoped that they will see more action and receive stiffer competition than was the case last night. Audley The Community Club will hold its first meeting on Monday next at the home of R. P. and Mrs. Winter at 8 o'clock sharp.

A team of horses wandered into a farm barnyard south east of here and the farmer was looking for the owner. Horses apparently are not as much a source of anxiety as they formerly were. Much sympathy is felt here for the family of the late Norman Wood who were formerly residents in this vicinity, Mrs!" Wood is a sister of Clarence Trigg. It begins to look like a repetition of the winter of two years ago and it is to be hoped that the snowplows will be able to keep the roads open.
