with Bell Canada representative BUI Barnes sponsored by the Naasagaweya Womens Institute took place in BrookvLUe Hall on March Those who had traversed broken and muddy roads through rain and fog in order to be present asked many pertinent questions about the telephone service received and not received by subscribers Cost more Mr Barnes presented charts showing the percentage of calls to and from the exchange The calls to outside areas were much more numerous than those from such areas especially in the case of Burlington and In all cases the outgoing calls were much more numerous than the incoming calls He stated that an extension of the local calling area would mean an Increase of 15c per one- quarter mile from the basic area in Campbellville The current rate Is per onequarter mile for a party line subscriber and per onequarter mile for a private line subscriber over and above the basic rate established for the exchange Mr Barnes informed the meeting that projections made by Bell Canada up to and including 1976 indicate no change for the subscribers He will send a report to the WI Reed III closing of Nerval School could be closed next year but It wont be closed without some opposition from vil lage residents now next year or anytime A motion to close the school this June was defeated at the County Board of Education meeting Thursday Although the fate of the school was delayed there was a strong suggestion next year would be the last year the school would be operated Decreasing enrollment was cited as the reason for the closing Julian Reed a key figure in the villages apposition to the proposed closing last year said he and others In the community would fight again seen future They are using our schools to make their look good Our message really isnt any different than it was the last time we were at the board We still see a future for our school in the village Reed Indicated that if there wasnt a grade one class in Nerval when his preschooler is ready for grade one the child wont go to school until grade two Reed acknowledged a small number of parents chose to send their children to another school In Georgetown by bus rather than to the small village school support the idea of free of and if parents want then- children to go to Georgetown by bus I think that is fine but I hope they give me the same consideration as tar as choosing a school he said Reed suggested the board should bring the grade sevens and grade eights and kindergarten youngsters back to Nerval Instead of sending the grade and sixes with them to George Kennedy school in Georgetown Get additional students The boundary line for the school runs right through the middle of the village and Reed is quick to note a logical step woulr be to move the boundary so it includes all of the village Ad ditional children would be attending the school then he noted Reed said he found it shocking to think the board would put grade one children on buses tt go to school When they moved the grade sevens and eights to Georgetown they said it was because the older children could take care of themselves Ill fight it and I hope the other parents fight it as well Mrs served a lovely
