-~ - -~ -q--i--i- ~;23 PAGE TEX TM C ~AhADLTAN SA9'WSIMMPt RnWMÀNVLTZ ONTARIO THURSDAY, MAT Ist, 1938 EDITORIAL Does High School Board Plan For Two Schools in Orono? From reading the "reply to an open letter" appearing on this page of last week's issue one can only come to the above conclusion. It says the proposed new school in Orono is "to relieve over- crowding at Bowmanville and Orono schools" . . . . "The school sections to be served will be . .. Newcastle, Clarke and parts of Darlington". . . "and it is spe- cificaliy not the intention of the Board to close ANY of the existing schoois". Now we really do not believe the above statements mean what they say but, WHAT DO THEY MEAN ? ?? The above statements make as much sense as the remainder of the "Reply". The Miii- brook area was not mentioned in the "Open Letter", sa why does the Board bring it into its reply? At a meeting of the Board held in Bowmanville some six weeks ago a man from Hampton, (in Darlington), and a man from South Clarke each asked if his children would be attending the school in Orono. The answer was they would go to Bowmanvîlle school. 'the Hampton area is certainly an area which could most economicaiiy be transported ta the propos- ed new school. Has the Board changed its plans since that time, or is this man being given the same run-around Newcastle has been given? And what of the resident of south west Clarke? Is he also going to be fooled if and when this new school is opened? According ta the "Reply", Board members had ail the facts contained in the "Open Letter" before the vote xvas taken; therefore we are to understand that hall of the members of the Board (onle was absent) favour fransporting students an extra 248 pupil miles per day (present school attendance); spending an extra $100 thousand or more on an audi- torium rather than use the finest audi- torium in the County which is designated for school use; and building a school in an area hemmed in on both sides by for- estry development rather than in the fast growing lakeshore area. Now, let us go back four years to the time the Newcastle High School was closed by this Board. A delegation from New- castle including the Reeve and School Board Chairman appeared before the Board protesting the sudden closing of the schooi and only agreed to the closing of the school when they had been assured that Bowmanville would be Newcastle's "Aima Mater" until such time as popula- tion warranted the building of a new school in Newcastle. On June 25th, 1954, the following mo- tion was passed by the Durham District High School Board: "It was moved by Mr. Rundie and seconded by Mr. Strong that the Newcastle High School be closed on June 30th and accommodation be arrang- ed in Bowmanville High School for the Newcastle pupils". Now, according to this Board's statement of intention, published iast week, Newcastle students wiil attend the proposed new high school at Orono. What will be the Board's plan next year? If the Board is really serious about building a sehool in Darlington in the near future, why cause ail the confusion of tak- ing Dariington and Newcastle students, now attending Bowmanvîlle school, to Orono and then back to Darlington later? Is that when they plan to bring Miilbrook and Cavan students to Orono? If this Darlington school is to be built in the near future, why not now? This would relieve the Bowmanville school to take care of students from. Newcastle and south Clarke and leave the present Orono school to take care of north Clarke? That would relieve the overcrowding in both Orono and Bowmanvîlle and at the same time put the school in the area of heaviest population thus reiieving the taxpayer of the heavy cost burden of transporting large numbers of students from, heaviiy populated areas to the area which is now, and must continue to be, the least populat- ed area in the county. If, as the Board states, "There has been nothing haphazard about the investi- gation" it should not have taken several meetings to draft an "answer" to the open letter which reaily answers nothing.

IS TOUR EAVESTROUGH Ready for SPRING CALL GGULD 1HEATINlC NEWCASTLE 4331 Newcastle, Ont., April 28, 1958. The Editor, The Newcastle Independent Dear Sir, In August of 1954 a letter appeared in The Statesmnan from Mr. Read Budge, Chair- man of the Durham District High School Board. His letter stated that the Board would guarantee accommodation for Newcastle students in Bowman- ville if the Newcastle High School was closed. Now, in 1958, the Board an- swers an open letter and tells us that the students from New- castle will be transported to the school in Orono. Do people see what the word of the Board is worth? I certainly hope that the peo- ple of Mlllbrook, Cavan, Dar- lington and Newcastle will not fail for the reply in last week's Statesman when the Board gave us the run around and said that it is flot the intention of the Board to transport pupils from the Millbrook area to the new school and that in ail likeli- hood the Bowmanville school would have to be further re- lieved by another school in the Darlington area. Before agreeing to the ex- penditure of more money, the people of Millbrook, CalTan, Darlington and Newcastle should certainly have some- thing more definite. Why can't the word of the Board be honoured? There must be people whose word can be honoured to act on such an im- portant issue as our students High School Education! Yours truly, Marjorie F.
