It was all something of an anti-climax for budget night at Oshawa's Board of Edu- cation, Thursday when only six of 12 members showed up . . ~ not enough for a quorum. As a result, city residents won't know how much- they'll haye to kick in for Education's slice of the tax dollar until the next meet- ing of the Board, Monday, March 15 The board had hoped it could ratify the budget last night in time to present it to City Council on Satur- day, but the deadline has been postponed by one week. "Truants" from the meet- ing were: Stephen Saywell, chairman of the finance committee; Dr. Claude Vi- pond, William Werry, L. G. Glover, and Separate School board representatives Rus- sell Murphy and J. C. Lar- mond, The board decided against even discussing the budget further after' trustee T. D. Thomas said it would "not look too good with so few trustees on hand', Following the meeting, Mr, Thomas said he was "surprised" at the small turnout considering the large amount of money under discussion. "It is under standable, however," he said, "as the meeting was called for 5:15 p.m., an inconvenient time when many trustees are just getting out of work and heading home for dinner." Unable to proceed, the Board accepted a motion of Trustee Stanley Lovell and went into committee to dis- cuss teachers' salary nego- tiations.

She was speaking at the club's weekly dinner- meeting this week. She also had a word of caution for newlyweds: WEALTH BULK "Many problems arise when newlyweds fail to com- municate in the field of their finances with each other." It was most important that the wife should know the whereabouts of her hus- band's finances and the method of their disposal in case anything should hap- pen to him, she added, again stressing the need for inter-family communication in such matters. in conclusion she said; "Concern for money is not the same as an obsession for money. Everyone, man or woman, married or single, owes to his or her peace of mind to learn how to manage money."

Neal, whose seven children go to the school, said "My children can walk home by 4.30 p.m. and it would also cost me $1.40 a day for bus fares. Why should we have to pay for transportation for our children? The PUC offer also stated the children would have to pay 10 (Mrs. Jacquelitie Woodcock, in- stigator of the protest; said it was not fair the children from this area should have to pay. "There are children in Osh- awa who are picked up by taxi cabs and driven to school each day. These cabs are paid for by the. Board of Education," she said "We seem to be the left overs in Oshawa," Eldon Woodcock said, "why should our children be made to suffer when it's not their fault." At this point, Mr. Whitehead Suggested the boycott of the school by the pupils in ques- tion; not going to come up with a better solution than this one, we should keep our children out of school," he said. Mr. Woodcock explained to the rest of the group that it would be perfectly legal to keep some of the children out of school. UP TO 12 "Children up to the age 'of 12 years are not required to walk more than two miles to school," she said.

His remarks. came during a board discussion of a proposed) minimum standard housing by- law, which was approved in principle, Dr. Watt said the city is pres- ently limited, under provisions of the Public Health Act, in be- ing able to condemn houses, The proposed new bylaw, he said, covers more ground and) owners will have three months to correct bylaw infractions or the houses will be closed, "Tf the owners have to im- prove buildings I think they will do so rather than leave them vacant," said Dr. Watt.
