'Open School For Retarded AJAX (Staff) -- On Saturday, June 17, at 2.30 p.m., Mr. Joel Aldred will officially open the Aldon School for Retarded Chil- dren in Ajax. The school is sit- uated on Burcher road next to the Lord Durham Public School. The opening culminates the efforts of five year's work by local Association membership. In 1956 a small number of parents and others interested in retarded children formed the Ajax-Pickering-Whitby Asso- ciation for Retarded Children. The main purpose of the Asso- Pickering Township Council and the Pickering Village and Township Red Cross Society. At this location, one normal class- room was divided into two smaller classrooms and, after some renovation and additions the rooms were made generally suitable for school purposes again. The next three terms saw the attendance increase to 22 pupils and three teachers, and it be- came apparent that a larger, more suitable building was be- coming a necessity. The actual construction of the ciation was to provide a full time day school for retarded! children in this area.
