Junior high schoal grades have it a little luckier. Newcomers en- tering grade fine at B.H.S. along with grade 10 students don't have ta report ta the hallawed halls until 1:30 p.m. on opening day. But grades 11, 12 and 13 students must be Johnny-on-the-spot at 9 o'ciock. The Public Sehool opening de- mands a little more cancentrated thaught.

Pupils are eligible for admission ta Kindergarten if they are five years aid during 1952.

What happens if the iBy-Law receives popular apprav- ai? Will aur taxes be increased? These are a few of the ques- tions bothering some property owners in Bowmanviile who hold in their hands the artificial ice future of Memoriai Arena. The questions are worthy, and the answers, as supplied by infarm- ed sources, are as foliows: All praperty owners assessed at a minimum af $300 and aver are eligible ta votq an the By- Law authorizing t he Town ai Bawmanville ta issue debentures in the amount ai $25,000 for la- ter loan ta the Bowmanville Kins- men Club ta meet immediate ar- tificiai ice casts. If yau own a lot assessed at $300. yau can vote. If yau own your awn bouse or other praperty in the Town ai Bowmanville you can vote. Only property owners are eligible ta vote on a money By-Law. One Exception There is ane exception ta the property owner rule, however, managers ai companies awning prQperty in Bowmanvllle may be delegated by the campany head office ta cast a vote in their namne. Such a vote must be au- thorized. in writing, by the head office. It might be pointed out, tao, that only the persan whase namne appears on the praperty deed is entitled ta a vote. If the praperty is held jointly by man and wiic, and bath names appear on the deed, then bath are entitled ta a vote an the maney By-Law. If the popular vote appravesi the issuing ai debentures, ther Town must submnit the By-Law ta the Municipal Board, Toronto,i for their approval before action1 can be taken.i And ta answer the mast !im-) partant question-taxes wiIl net be increased should the By-Law pass. This is the way it works. Kinsmen Pay Debentures When the Town ai Bowman- ville issues debentures, re-pay- ment is due. in this case, over a ten year period. This means that under ordinary conditions a cer- tain sum would have ta be includ- ed in the Mill Rate ta meet the expense. But the Kinsmen Club are honor bound ta meet annual 1debenture payments (approxi- mately $3,000 per year) there- fore Town Council will net have ta consider re-payment when reckoning the Mill Rate. Furtber, the debentures ta be issued wlll be such that they may be paid off in full prier ta the compietion af tbe 10 year peniod. 1sithe Kinsmen Club cpn, run sEeral successiul car draý,rs they M~ay earn enaugh within twa or three years ta retire the entire amaunt of $25.000 plus interest. This they are dedicated ta do., Some praperty awners register doubt that the- club can meet the annual payment af $3,000. In this respect, 'Kinsmen paint ta their record. As a young club, only a little mare than two yeaýs old, they have already raised $10.000, or $5.000 for each year ai opera- tien, and this before it was de- iinitely decided the club would take on the tremendous task af starting the bahl rolling for arti- ficial ice. More Money Needed In addition ta this sium, citizens ai Bowmanvilie have *donated $5,000 ta swell the total artificial ice fund ta $15.000 cash. Total cost ai artificial ice installation in Mema rial Arena is in the neighborhood of $40,000. Sa the future ai artificial ice rests with the property owner. He. andi he alone can decide the issue in the polling booths on Wednesday, September 10. Whi tby Nerchants Win First Came In Best of Five Series 10 -8.
