Garbage is being turned over and children have been chased home from school by stray dogs in Ajax, claimed Councillor Wil- liam' LeGross. "The problem will be con- trolled," said Mr. LeGross, chairman of the protective ser- vices committee. A report of the dog control fh Ajax during 1964 showed that 168 canines had been impound- "ed during the year. Of this ers, 84 were destroyed, 53 went to new homes and two were re- leased without a pound fee. Mr. LeGross said that if a person were to wander around the town he would .wonder if there was any dog control at all. He told council that people in Ajax were under the impression that B. J. Severs was a full-time dog control officer and that they had been calling his home and place of employment at all hours of the day and night. The 1964 report showed that Mr. Severs, a former council member who is well known in the town, spent 366 hours on During the past year 67 com- plaints were answered by Mr. Severs, 15 charges laid, 23 warn- ings issued and 23 dogs were de- WHITBY (Staff) Whitby, councillor George Bevan took a "hefty" swing at Ontario's edu- cational system Monday night, when he recommended existing school boards be replaced by a Regional Area school system, similar to the proposed Area Plaaning boards. Terming the present system slightly ridiculing the oun- cillor suggested that the current 2,000 school boards in Ontario could be reduced to 10 which would economize on the high cost of administration. "Last year Ontario had 3,500 school boards and after a big deal reduced this to 2,000," the counciior stated. "Imagine 2,000 school boards for a popu- lation of only six and one half million people. London, England and New York each with a pop- ulation of 10 million people have only one school board," he charged. ers is Bevan continued, have area school boards with standard rates for the whole 3,500 BOARDS area." cluding superint ts, tors and staffs were ncessary "The annual auction of teach- ridiculous,' Councillor "we should Commenting still further on the subject.

RATIO TOO LOW The councillor said "under the new proposals submitted by the Whitby High School Board we will have 47 teachers at Ander- son Street School and 28 at Henry Street School. This gives a ratio of 19 pupils per class- room at Anderson and 17 and one-half pupils per classroom at Henry Street. These ratios are much, too low and do not make sense,' Councillor Bevan charg- "The number of pupils per teacher at Henry Street should be greater than at Anderson Street since the former deals mostly. with academic subjects while the latter deals with voca- tional type subjects."

Suddenly John Vesters tallied, on a solo play and the team caught fire. Less than a minute later, Lloyd Sey- mour had tied the score and another minute saw Art Ren- nick break the deadlock, with his third goal of the game.

Officers elected were: Rich- ard Nicholson, chairman; Kurt Krumland, vice-chairman; Mrs. Betty Genereux, recording sec- retary; Mrs, Eileen Nicholson, corresponding secretary; Lynn Wilkinson, treasurer and Mrs. Emile Genereux, storekeeper, The Ajax Section is now start- ed and ready to go. There are presently nine members and already they are planning to give active assistance to the Whitby Brigade in their public duties. They are off to a fine start, and are confident that the citizens of Ajax will give them full support. Formation of this local section will prob- ably eventually result in a full Ajax Brigade -- and this could prove a very valuable asset to the town -- especially when the planned Ajax Arena is built and in use. Members are very grateful to the Ajax Chamber of Com- merce, which has promised the donation of four uniforms. More will be needed, as well as other equipment -- such as first aid kits, blankets, etc. -- and it is hoped that other generous friends will offer to supply some of these. Anyone interested in joining, or desiring further information, can contact the Chairman, at 942-5243, or the Vice-Chairman at 942-0854. The members are pleased to announce that since the meet- ing Dr. Donald Noble, Ajax, has. consented to act as section surgeon. St. John Ambulance Brigade members -- all of them volun- teers -- give a valuable public service, and Ajax can well be proud of forming their own sec- tion of this organization. Garage Owners' Opinion Sought TORONTO (CP)--Mines Min- ister George Wardrope of On- tario appealed Monday to gar- age owners requiring workers with specia! skills to. approach the. Ontario government for help. Mr Wardrope told delegates at the g of the National Automotive Parts and Equip- ment Show that, although em- ployment is at a record high, there is a shortage of skilled workers. The government plans to ar- range short-term skill develop- ment projects to combine on- the-job training with classroom instruction in- theory and re- lated subjects, he said. He called on garage owners to provide details of skill re- quirements and to make use of industrial training counsellors who will advise and assist in setting up courses of study. Car-A-Minute At Chrysler WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--Chrys- ler Canada T4d. scheduled a hefty car-a-minute here Monday as work resumed at its three plants and one subsidiary after a 39-day strike that ended Sun- day. The strike, which had left idle 7,000 workers and 162. of- fice staff, ended when member- ship of Local 444 United Auto Workers Union (CLC) voted to accept the terms agreed on be- tween union and management at dawn Sunday. Agreement came after a marathon 20-hour main-table session. Immediately after the mem- bership ratified the terms of the new three-year contract, main- tenance crews returned to work in preparation for Monday's full work schedule. A spokesman for. Chrysler said the car-a-minute schedule set for Monday was deliberately placed high in an attempt to fill' all areas of production quickly. "If possible, this sched- ule will be maintained, he said.

Among the most urgent is the lack of qualified staff, a problem which the government is presently trying to remedy. A_ further and a soul-searching problem is what is the best way to deal with retardates. Although great advances have been and are being made in teaching the re- tarded, with small exception there is no cure for retardation known to medicine.
