Mrs. Kilbourne's thought- ful gesture in presenting a second prîze was much appreciated." Mr. Gay explained some o! the work in connection with music in the sehool curriculum. "We hope to develop music in every child.i Some may have more natural tal- ent than others and these con- tinue with private musical studies. Others might not have this op- portunity. It is our desire to give every child the same chance to learn music, to develop a sense1 o! rhythm.".1 Group Singing The remaining numbers had each been taught in the schools in their weekly lessons.

James INSURANCE REAL ESTATE Phones: Office 681 Res. 4931 King Street -Bowmanville ý 1 The mounting High School problèm in Durham County re- vealed another facet as a resuit zof a Board of Arbitration belng called by the Durham District High School Board *when they 9held their last regular meeting of the school year at the Port Hope H.igh School Friday night. On request of the Townships àf Hope and Clarke the Durham School Board set July 8th, at 9 a.m., as the date and time of an Arbitration Board meeting at Orono Town Hall when some agreement is expected to be reached in regard to the new equalized assessment in Durham. Townxships Wiant Agreement L Resolutions were received and read from the two Townships who feel that after months o! wrangling the High School issue in Durham as it affects school rates should be agreed upon. Hope, in their resolution, register- ed an appeal against the use of the old assessment as a means of collecting the school rate this year. Clarke expressed the opin- ion that their assessment is too high. The School Board, which is ob- liged to caîl for such a Board when a request is made, did by stating a date which at first was tentative but later made defin- ite. The Arbitration Board will be made Up of assessors f rom each of the eight municipalities in Dur- ham Area, as well as the Coun- ties Assessor, Mr. Garnet Shields. Each of the municipalities affec- ted wvill be aflowed to go before the Board to state their case. Can Appeai Decision Under provisions of the High Sehool Act any municipafity stili unsatisfied may appeal the deci- Sion of the Board of Arbitration to the Ontario Municipal Board within thirty days after the deci- sion is handed down. Last night's meeting which was attended by various mem- bers o! municipal councils in Dur- hamn County at times threatened to explode. One such explosion was almost set off as a result o! a letter to the Board signed by Mr. Budge, chairman o! finance. Contents of the letter charged that some members of the Port Hope Council do not wish to co-« operate with the Board and that some conditions of the resolution Which they forwarded to other municipalities were unnecessary. It also intimated that the Port Hope Council wished to dictate the procedure which other muni- cipalities should follow. In reply, Councillor R. Wickett made it clear that the Port Hope Council has no intention o! dic- tating to the present High School Board or any members of the Area. He expressed the Council's fear at having more debenture debt added to Port Hope as a re- suit of the erection of a new ~Hgh School if the Counties Coun- cil or the counties of each muni- cipality do not agree to accept their portion. Debenture' Debt 'C4nsldered Pointing out the debenture debt wvhich is likely to be caused by erection of a new sewage plant and expansion of industry in Port H-ope Councillor Wickett said, ýwe 4ào fot want an extra mil. lion dollars debenture debt against Port Hope rating on top of this." Figures quoted by school board member Stuart Ryan o! Port H{ope revealed that Port Hope's investigation in regard to sev- erance o! relations with the Durham Board contained some merit regardless of the fact that the government grants would not be as high. Mr. Ryan indicated that Port Hope and the Township of Hope could operate a joint board at less cost than Port Hope is be- ing asked to pay under the ahl iew assessment. A sehool board operated by Port Hope alone vould cost the town little more. Bowmanvjhle May Break Away Nels Osborne of Bowmanvîlle then informed the Board that it inow close to the point where the town of Boxvmanville and the Township, of Darlington are ready to form their own school area Ilso. He feit that any such area would also include the village of Newcastle. Board chairman Alex McGreg- tary Harvey Mitchell, Reeve H. Smith, and Councillor R. Wickett and R. Everson represented the town. High School principal G. L. Brackenbury was also present. Reeve Carrol Nichols represen- ted Hope, Nels Osborne, Bowman- ville; Mr. Stephens, Darlington; and Delbert Olan, Cavan. United Counties Assessor Garnet Shields was also present. or, Bowmanville, advised ail pre- sent to tread cautiously before any atternpt is made to break up the district as it is at present. He noted that a break in the dis- trict would almost leave Cavan and Millbrook out in the cold. "We have one o! the larger school districts but I feel it can be hand- led," ha said. Noting that this council had endorsed the resolution sent out by the Port Hope Council, Reeve Delbert Olan of Cavan Township agreed that if Port Hope should leave the Durham Area, Cavan will be left out on a limb. "The future now* rests upon a few municipalities who have flot signed the resolution submitted by the Port Hope Council," Reeve Carrol Nidhols of Hope Town- ship stated. He expressed wonder as to whether these municipalities had been approached personally by Port Hope Council. "I have personally approached them,"I he said. "I wonder if Port Hope has. If they did 1 think this problem could have been settled by now." Previously Agreed To BuIld The Hope Township Reeve re- called that the School Board was authorized by the United Coun- ties a few years ago and when preparations for re-assessment were being made ail municipali- ties agreed that the building pro- gram would be carried out when the assessment was completed. "We felt that the re-assessment had reached the point a few month. ago whereby the building program should be considered," he said. This brought a comment from Mr. Bannister o! Hope who asked, "why go ahead with the building program if Port Hope breaks away?" Since nothing is settled untîl it is settled right, no matter how unlimited power a man may have, unless he exercises it fairly and justly his actions will return to plague him.-Frank A. Vander- Halifax Public Gardens Oldesf on Continent The oldest public gardens on the continent had their start early in the l8th century in a swamp. During the early days of Halifax, N.S., the Crown set apart several acres of "common land" between the town and the wilderness on the western part of the peninsu- la. omo a rand7 he lceomm owfor drae7 years lat ervetoaall orastreo ctlackd terea apastur fo ttle and the stra meticghpran througheitwasmeeting placte dirt out of their clothes. Late in the century it was used as an "experimental farm" to stir up interest in agriculture, writes W. D. Freeman in the June issue of C-I-L Oval. Out o! this interest grew the Halifax Public Gardens which today occupy 18-acres ofJ expertly-landscaped grounds. The first enclosed skating rink and first public tennis courts in Can- ada were built here by an early Horticultural Society. 15 KIng St. W.- Phono 178 Agricultural chemicals have played a major role in the main,- tenance of plant life in the gar. dena, the article states.
