Williams, Bditor.- High School Area Discussed By Rotary Speakers Three members of the Board of Education, Mrs. Frank Wells, F. J. McIntyre, and G. M. Goodfellow ad- dressed the weekly meeting of the Whitby Rotary club yesterday, and gave a discussion of the new pro- posed "High School Area." Introducing the - speakers, Rota- 'rian G. M. Goodfellow briefly out- lined some of the work that has al- ready been done in connection with the new "High School Area," but added that the committee has not reached any definite decisions as vet, and is anxious to sound out the public opinion, after fully acquaint- ing them with situation. He also stated that Mrs. Wells would out- line the proposed program, and Ro- tarian F. J. McIntyre would follow with the financial conditions that would result if the new plan is adopted. The text of Mrs. Wells speech is as follows: "The movement initiated by the Department of Education of Ontario to divide the various counties of the Province into high school areas ls gaining momentum and since it is of definite interest to the citizens of Whitby, the following information should be of value. Until 1945 some 190 continuation schools in Ontario were operated by districts of which 80% had assess- ments of less than $500,000. Similar- ly until 1945, some 200 high schools were operated by districts of which 40% had assessments of less than $500,000. That is, more than 150 continuation schools and 80 high schools have been operated by dis- tricts over which a one mill levy would not raise $500. Such a dis- trict cannot possibly afford operate an efficient secondary school. As a result rural and semi-rural people have had to carry on with accom- modations that have been definitely poor and with equipment that has been pitifully inadequate. They try to retain an efficient staff but they lose their teachers just as soon as they gain experience. To a certain extent this has been our experience here in Whitby and so the larger high school district plan is cer tainly worth our earnest considera- tion. Briefly, the plan 'is to set up district of some 8,000 people and an assessment of from $7,000,000" to $8,000,000. These districts will have schools with an enrolment of 300 students or more. With such an en- rolment they should be able to offer the - following . ' courses:--Academic courses from grade IX through grade XIII; Sumimeseial Sole frum ade X through grade : e sh the home economics course and the courses in music, Arts and Crafts and practical Agri- culture from grade IX through grade XII. Additions will be made to present buildings, or new build- ings will be erected. Equipment will be brought up to urban standards. The boards of these district" schools will able to pay better salaries-- suffic! to retain their teachers. Because the schools will be larger, the teachers will be teaching fewer subjects; they will become more proficient in the subjects which they are teaching. Transportation will be free to every child residing in the district. Every municipality within the district will have representation on the board. These district schools will have lunchrooms or cafeterias. It is suggested that instead of a 90-minute noon recess period which most of our high schools have at present, the school will operate con- tinually from 9 o'clock until 4 p.m. with two forty minute lunch periods. Half of the student body will have lunch during one of these periods, while the other half will have re- gular classes. This will save suffi- cient time to organise the so-called extra-curricular activities within the school day. Sports, dramatics, literary societies, glee clubs, or- hestras and bands will become ac- tivities in which the rural as well as the urban children can parti- cipate. Too often in the past only the urban students, could enjoy these advantages, because the stu- dents from the country had to catch the school 'bus to go home to do the 'chores', Participation in school ac- tivities, besides providing an added interest, will give the student some- thing in the way of culture and a - training for citizenship which can be of inestimable value as he faces the more serious business of living and making a living. Such a school will not only serve the 10% or less who are going on to the professions but it will also provide a definite training for the 90% or more who have to be fitted into our economic pattern. This, then is the larger high school district plan, as it is being worked out presently in a number of counties in the province. The question that must be upper- most in your mind now, is "How does this plan affect Whitby?" The consultative committee on educa- tion, which was set up by the Ont- ario County Council to study this matter, met early this year and a tentative division of the County in- to five possible high school districts was made. District No. 2, comprises Whitby Town, tby Township and Pickering Township. The con- sultative committee has no power HIGH SCHOOL AREA (Continued on Page 14) Freda Wilson John Jeffrey Wed At Whitby A quiet wedding took place at the United Church Parsonage, on Monday, August 4th, at 2 o'clock when Rev.

Office Town Council last night voted to protest the action of the National Unemployment Service in closing their Whitby office effective tonight. Introducing the protest, Reeve Muir pointed out that several years ago before such an office was located in Whitby, council had received many 'tomplaints from unemployed per. sons who thought that there was unnecessary expense and incon- venience in going to Oshawa to register twice a week. "I am of the opinion that this office should be continued in Whit. by," the Reeve stated, "and further. more no reason has been given for closing this office." Councillor Straty suggested that a protest should be registered at a higher level, such as the Minister of Labor. NOW PLAYING Two Shows at 7.00 and 9.00 A Woaderlol Lova Story...

The measure was introduced by Mayor Davidson, who stated that it had been brought up earlier in the year, and then set aside at the time, Stating that in his opinion, "neither the mayor nor councillors were paid enough," Reeve Andrew Muir moved that the salary of the mayor be increased to $500 per year, and that of the Reeve and Deputy- Reeve be increased to $200, and councillors from $100 to $150, re- troactive to the first of January 1947, and deductions for absence to be made on the basis of 22 meet- ings per year, or $7 per meeting missed. The motion was seconded by Councillor Ken Lee. The only two dissenting votes were cast by Councillors Strathy and Oke. Councillor Strathy stated that he favoured the motion if it went into effect next year, but he was not in favour of raising his pay after taking office, and Councillor Oke echoed his remarks, Whitby Rinks Win Prizes Over Holiday For two Whitby bowlers, the past week-end will be one that is long remembered. The pair Norm Thomas and William Correll, won second prize in the big Sinclair Men's doubles tournament in Osh- awa on Saturday, and then took part in a full rink's tournament in Bowmanville on Monday with two other Whitby bowlers, and carried off first prize and the Goodyear Trophy. Other members of the trophy-winning team were James Ross and Bob McNee. Norm Thomas was the prize- winning skip on both days. On Sat- urday, his entry was a close second in a large field of 32 entries for the coveted Sinclair Cup, but on Mon- day, he skipped his rink to victory in Bowmanville. While Thomas' rink was winning down in Bowmanville, Dick Adam's rink carried off third place in ths G. W. Read Invitation Tourna- ment for Mixed Rinks at Oshawa. The Whitby foursome composed of Dick Adams skip, Jack Annan, Mrs. J. Annan, and Mrs. E. Guthrie, won all thrée games, and finished four points behind the winners, Assault Case Remanded For OneWeek Norman Carlton, Pickering Township, charged with having carnal knowledge of a woman other than his wife, with attempt to rape, appeared before Magis- trate Russel P. Locke,in Whitby ®olice Court yesterday afternoon, and was remanded in custody for one week, . "It is only reasonable that this man should be represented .by counsel in view of the serious na- ture of the charge, and it might be advisable to hear if tried in a higher court," the Magistrate sald in setting the case over for one week, Bail was set at $5,000. Carlton testified that he had written to his mother, but had received no reply as yet, Magis- trate Locke arranged for police to get in touch with the mother of the accused to arrange for a defense counsel. Henry Gaskin, Whitby, who was charged with careless driv- ing, tailed to appear in court, but was represented by counsel, and the case was remanded for one week, " ov Partial Extension Of Sidewalks For Mary St. West A petition that the sidewalk be extended along the north side of Mary Street, from Euclid to Palace Street, signed by many of the resi- dents of the area was presented to the Town Council last night. In discussing the matter, it was pointed out that the petition pre- sented was really wrong, since only two people were directly involved, and only one of them had signed the petition. Gordon Fairman, who lives on the corner of Mary and Palace Streets, had offered to pay his share of the new extension, and if the sidewalk was not continued all the way from Euclid Street, he of- fered to pay for the share that would flank his lot, and suggested that a cinder path be put along the rest of the street. At present there is no sidewalk between Euclid Street and Palace Street, on Mary Street, and in wet weather, resi- dents of Palace Street are forced to go more than a block out of their way to walk on the sidewalk, or go through the mud. Reeve Muir moved that the side- walk be built along the Fairman property, and a cinder path be put along the remainder of the block, after Councillor Whitney had pointed out that he didn't see how the sidewalk could be put down at the present time. Town Council Briefs Moved by Reeve Muir and se- by Councillor Jermyn that the Council should purchase quarter page advertisement in spe- lished by the Oshawa and District Labour Council on Sept. 1, at & cost of $15.

Mayor Davidson pointed out that his request, a weekly inspec- tion of restaurants and the busi- ness area, was now being made by the Sanitary Inspector, and a re- port filed with him. In his request, Sanitary Inspector Thomas stated that his duties had now increased threefold, and he felt a correspond ing increase in salary was justified. * XR * A contract of $373 was awarded the Bennett Construction Company for removing the existing portion of the curb and gutter on Dundas Street west, for a distance of -148 feet from the corner of Byron Street, and laying a new curb and a six foot strip of pavement. was ordered to approach the mer- Street from Dundas to Colborne Streets to see if they would pay for continuing the new cement side- walk out to the curb. Many of the merchants had already intimated that they would pay for such a pro- ject, and it could easily be done, while the cement making equip- ment is still located in that area, i finishing the Dey strip of sidewalk. A ® * In connection with complaints about the stagnant water in the son stated that he had contacted officials of the Stokeley-Van Camp canning factory to treat the drain- age of their pea stacks with ga dis- infectant to eliminate the unpleas- ant odour.

P, Locke, The charge was laid as the re- sult of a fracas which occurred on July 27th, involving the three brothers and their brother-in- law John Ross, Whitby. Ross testified that the brothers had threatened him, and used abusive language in his home, As a result he had ordered them out of the house, and later had gone to the Whithy police, and laid a charge. Herman Campbell, one of the accused, stated that he had been living at the Ross home, and that Ross accused him of passing scan- dal to his wile, Campbell denied that he or his brothers had made any threats and stated that they left as soon as they were asked. He also admitted "chewing the rag a bit" with Ross, Lorne Campbell, backed up the previous witnesss' statement that they had left the house as soon as they were askad. He also tes- tifed that Rozs told them to "get out or he would throw them out," and he told Ross 'very politely," to step outside, and see just who would do the throwing. Sgt. Love, of the Whitby Pol- ice Department, verified Ross' statement that he had complained to the police, "I am satisfied that the three men were at the home of the complainant, and although ° they denied being under the influence of liquor, it is evident that they did cause him annoyance, and he did go to the police and lay a complaint, Therefore, I am regis- tering a conviction, Two of you had no business to be there at all, and there is no excuse for three brothers entering a man's house and making threats and. using abusive language. If you break this bond, you are subject to $100 fine, a jail term, or both," the magistrate said in passing sent- ence, Gerry Bracey Wins Olympic Trial Event Winning the half mile event in the Junior Olympic trials at To- rontp Varsity Stadium on Friday afternoon, was only the first step in a busy week-end for Gerald Bracey, Whitby track star.

Most of the residents re- side, permanently elsewhere, and only live in Whitby for two months in the summer. They have no civ- ic road in the park, and they are without water lines or hydrants, sewers, sidewalks, and street lights, and only a minimum of fite and police protection, in view of the distance from the stations. The let- ter goes on to state that "there is the nucleus of a public park at the lake. The bathing beach between the pumphouse and the wharf is excellent outside of the pollution of the water. However, the area sur- rounding the harbour is smelly to the extreme, untidy, 'and might even be dangerously unhealthy be- cause of the location of the town dump where the creek water seeps through the garbzze carrying the pollution and germs to the harbour and endangering the lives of the people living in houses near the harbour who are obliged to walk through stagnant water as a means of exit. Continuing, the writer points out that garbage is being dumped on the road allowance, either by civic employees, or by private citizens, causing an unhealthy condition. There are only two methods of reaching the park, either by using a rough farm road, which is not practical or by driving past the dump on Brock Street South, and you can imagine the feelings when visitors express their opinion of the dump as an entrance to an other- wise attractive part of the com- munity, Unless the Town Council shows "some determination and definite progress, we intend to ask the Pro- vincial Board of Health to con- demn the property and forbid its further use for present purposes." The letter was signed by 13 prop- erty owners at the Park, and its words were echoed In complaints received by other. residents from Port Whitby. "Our biggest trouble is not from the dumping from the town gar- bage collection," Reeve Muir stated, "but from individuals from 'out of 'town, who dump there "where they please." Something must be done about it, and the sooner the better, even building a fence around it to prevent private dumping if neces- sary, or seeking a new location for the dump" the Reeve added. "The dump has been a source of trouble for years, and I don't won- der at the ratepayers complaining," Councillor Seymour Whitney, chair. man of Town Property Committee, stated. "I propose to get a bull- dozer in to the dump to level it off, and cover the garbage as soon as it | is humanely possible," Councillor Whitney added, "and we will hire five or six trucks to draw gravel to cover it up, within the next few days." ; Councillor Russel Underwood stated that he agreed with Mzeve Muir, that outside dumping should be prevented, and that a fence would "eliminate the view." Councillor Harry Jermyn stated that he heartily agreed that it was a serious matter. "It is positively awful," he declared, "and it should be dealt with immediately." "I favor incineration," stated Councillor John Strathy, "The long range view is the best view and I fail to see what good a few loads of gravel will do. An' incineyator is the only logical long rangé an- swer," he added. Councillor Ken Lee stated he favoured the idea of remedying the situation immediately with gravel, and added that he also was in fav- our of prohibiting dumping by out- siders. While Council was discussing the possibilities of incineration, Coun- cillor . Underwood asked, "Where will the money come from? Are we going to be spendthrifts like some of the Councils in the past?" Reeve Muir replied, "We've, got to spend money to keep the town fit, and nobody can expand with out spending money, even if deben- tures are necessary," or Davidson stated that in his opinion the present high level of the water will not be eliminated for some time, and therefore, they must act accordingly. A letter from Dr. A. E. Barry, director of Sanitary Engineering for the De- partment of Health, outlining the three alternative methods of dis- posal of garbage dumping, sanitary fill, and incineration, stating the advantages and faults of each. After a lengthy discussion of the comparative advantages of the san- itary fill method, and incineration, Councillor Underwood moved that the matter be yferred to the Town Property Committee, for a full re- port into the matter to be made _ and given at the next meeting of the Council, and Councillor Strathy seconded the motion.
