! FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WHIT BY NEWS Says Gym Should Not Be Used As Community Centre A considerable number of requests for use of Higlhh School gymnasium . facilities in the evening during the | | winter months were received by the Board of Education Wednesday . night. Tuey turned the problem of allotting hours over to Gordon Mc- Mahon, Director of Recreation. However | Trustee John strongly protested turning the High School into a community centre. "We have troubles enough main- taining it as a proper school build- ing," he said, "How is it that wien the Boy Scouts mee; there they are not al- lowed enough light to play by?" asked Clive Hatch, No one seemed to know the answer Lut the property committee will look into it. Prin. cipal Graham said he had not re- ceived any instructions from the Utility Commission about turning out lights in the gym. Peter Draimin complained of : rowdyism from young "punks" who hang around the school with the object of causing trouble, "What is the policy of the board," asked Mr. Hare. "We have so many requests for use of the school, We "Sire supposed to be running a school, not a community centre. You are just asking for trouble to grant all these requests. My thought would be to cut it/all out except for grant- ing occasional requests for special events." R. D. Ruddy: "I am in favor of granting use of the gym to all who ask for it, if it is at all possible." Mr, Hare: "There has been a lot of damage done in the past and no one will ever admit being respon- sible." Mrs. Frank Wells: "Those are the only gym facilities in town, The taxpayers have a large share in it. It would be only fair to allow bas- ketball 'playing." Mr, Hare retorted: "And the tax- payers have to pay their 'large share' of any damage done too. I didn't accept chairmanship of the property committee to look after things like this." Donald Wilson: "If we do not rent it where are our young people to go in the evenings?" Finally it was 'decided to allot time and rént the school, the board to arrange for supervision. Sign Contract The board authorized signing of a contract with Collacutt Coach f 9.ines which is already operating She school bus taking children to and from Whitby and Brooklin schools in the area to be incorporat- ed as a school area on January 1. Contract price was 35c per mile, said to be a very low figure, Until the end of this year, cost of trans- portation will be divided among Whitby and Brooklin boards. After that, departmental grants come into force. The route being run now averages 5012 miles per day at a cost of 42¢ per pupil per day. Account for the month of September totalled $344.40 of which Whitby"s share is $172.20. Until snow blocks off part of the route the monthly bill will run about $413, D. J. Kean questioned the condi- tion of roads on a portion of the route in the winter. He was told that snow conditions had nothing to do with the terms of the contract under discussion. The board ruled that pupils will not bé permitted to smoke on the school bus. Hare | Many Holiday Guests at Ashburn MRS. WES.

Wreck Henhouse Walls at School Among the multitude of problems with which a Board of Education has to wrestle is the question of why the High h to peck holes in the henhouse wall and use the insulation for making nests.

"It is hard to say how long Ajax will be used as a dispersal point. Thep eriod is indefinite," Mr. Rich- ter said. "The demand for domes- tic neip is greater than the supply and until it is filled they will con- tinue to come." Nationalities are Ukrainian, Cze- choslovakian, Lithuanian, Estonian and Polish. Although many are from concentration camps of differ- ent countries many others are dis- placed persons with no homes in their native land. Many of the D.P.'s are well edu- cated, with university degrees. De- spite their qualifications, they must serve the contracted year as domes- ti» help by way of recompense for their passage to Canada. After the end of a year, they are privileged to do as they please. A salary schedule has been set with a mi' f/mum of $35 a month plus room and board. The department does its best to locate them wherever in Canada they prefer, but it makes no prom- ises, as the demand for help is greater in some sections than in others, Recently they have been leaving Ajax for employment in Toronto.
