says Hughes they would rather not use unless pressed WHAT THEY What the residents want Is not just preservation of their local school with Its 82 students from Grades 16 They want the school modern

consider giving up this natural area She contended there were enough new homes in town and suggested 100 new homes would not Increase business that much WATER TABLE She claimed the loss of the natural area would bring to the wildlife would Increase noise pollution and would des troy tho beauty of the area She pointed out that plants breathe out oxygen and breathe in carbon dioxide thus cleaning the air She stated the cutting of the trees could endanger the water table In the area Wild areas are so rare in the middle of towns today It is a tragedy to destroy them In the name of progress she re marked NATURAL STATE She suggested the land be sold or given to the Credit Val ley Conservation Authority so that it could never be sold and stay In its natural state It should be saved for park so that old people and children could sit In the fresh air and have picnics she concluded In reply to a question from Cr Donna May told council her class had been studying the problem for a week She said

the Grade fl teacher and tho class for their Interest and tho able presen tation local kindergarten and Grade and students who now leave town to be returned and they want better use made of tho ad vantages the school now has During presentation of the 5 year capital forecast last Janu ary the recom mended to the board the school be closed In September be cause It Is uneconomic and be low desirable standards and that the students travel by bus to school in Georgetown VITAL PARTS The committee soys a vital part of the village tradition is the local school and if the com munity lost it residents would lose one of the Important rea sons people came to and the people who were born there stay on Julian Reed an agriculture graduate turned actor who lives in the heart of the village tends to be the philosophical spokes man for the committee What I cant understand is why they want to do this in the first place he says At no has the board really marshalled its forces and presented a good case SURVEYS Now the ratepayers commit tee says Its surveys show a number of other youngsters will be kept from kindergarten this year if the board doesnt bring them back to The return of the kindergarten Is an important point with ratepayers Theyre convinced Its absolutely vital that their children get their early educa tion to Grade 8 if possible in their homo school In their home community Reed says they believe this early Influence is what shapes the child for good or for bad and they could send them off to high school In Georgetown with some reasonable sense of secur ity if they were satisfied with that early influence LIMITED HORIZONS A sense of continuity is im portant adds another committee member Its important in families with several children that the young er ones follow In the steps of the older ones that they go to the same school for example he feels Reed soys the school board and the administrators with their adult viewpoints and pen chant for dealing with the county at once may have forgotten the more limited hor izons of a young child Theyve forgotten that little Christoper Reeds community Is not County It is the little village of As his community expands and as ho gets older then hes prepared to bo given a larger community CONCEPT committees brief to the board pointed out that current advanced sociological thinking favours exactly the kind of con cept in which now finds itself that fs a small satellite community with its own limited commercial and social core in cluding a school within easy reach of a larger urban core serving a number of such satel lite communities with larger and more general commercial and social services The brief suggests the board might find itself In five or 10 years in a position where It then wanted to have a local school In but had sold off the school site and the paidup building and would then have to buy and build again at constd- cost to the taxpayers JACKSONS CENTRE Mill STREET NEXT DOOR TO GET 3 FOR

cigar has long passed The Toronto is confid ent however that tho era of the good five day camp Is on ly beginning As a demonstra tion of that confidence a ser ies of five day camps for boys and girls aged six to ten years will bo sponsored this summer at the Camp Norval at Georgetowns east ern limits The venture Is unique not only in the length of periods but In Its coed nature Tra ditionally girls resident camping In the has been the concern solely of the Tor onto YWCA with its camps and The on the other band has conducted a wide camp ing program exclusively for boys at its camps Pine Crest Wangoma Beausoleil and all of which are pre sently receiving camper ap plications WHY NOT Coexistent with these resi dent camps however there has grown in the Toronto on extensive day camping program Involving some young people Why not It was proposed introd uce a program that follows logically and progressively from day camping as a next camping step without subject ing the kids and the parents it might be to the stresses of tho relatively lengthy familial separation Inherent In regular resident camping Why not In other words have a five day camp running Monday morning to Friday
