The Canadian Statesrnan, Bowmanville, June 6, 1973 For Grades 7&8 Fire Marshall WiII AIIow Use of Old BHS Next Fal~ It appears that the Nont- umnberland-Durham Board of Education hbas cleared' the cr ucial hurdie in their efforts te e-open the old Bowman- ville High Scbool on Queen Street for grade, seven and eight students next fal. A dlegation of Board mem- bers met with the Ontario Fire Marshal and Ministry of Education officiais in Toronto iast week to discuss the issue of using the old sehool. Local Board trustee Ah, Strike, re- ported back to the May 24th Board meeting that the Fire Marsbal bas agreed to allow a limited use of the former high scbool next year without the necessity of completing ahi the fire safety renovations. Origînally, it was estimated that $200,009 to $300,060 would have to be spent on fire safety improvements before the sehool could be re-opened. Hlowever, offiy the niewest section of thec building, corn- pleted in 1954, will be used next fall and hience not ahi the fine safety renovations wil hiave to be comnpleted immedi- ately. The Fire Manshal stili requires that the renovations, be completed but hie indicated that he wouild allow the necessary wvork to be done over a periïod of two or three years, as the enrolment in- creases. lie stressed that an adequate fine alarma systemn is. an immnediate priority but indications are that the alarm system that, exists in the butildJing ai present, may be sufficient. Local trustee Strike indicat- ed that 200-300 grade seven and eigbht students, te be drawn "from Centrai and Vincenît Massey Public School, wîll be mnoved mUi tie school in the [ail, Since there wl only be six or eight classes involved, it is expected that the sehool will be operat- ed as an extension of Central Public Schooh, with Centrals Tom3 Turner, acting as princi- pal f'or both schools. Before final 'approvai is granted by the 1'ire Marshal, a letter outlining the programn of renovations planned wil have to be submitted. It is hoped that the former high schooh will be upgraded to'a full Senior Eleçnentàry School status by the Fahl of 1974. The Board trustees who met with the Ministry of Education officials ast week were told that there were no funds available this year to, com- pletely renovate the building but that it would be neassessed for 1974. Trustee Strike told thc Býoard meeting, '$'We wvere told to set our program and put it in, for 1974. It may have to be phased in but it just might go through because of the population growth in the area." In the interim, next year's limited use of the school Goes, North, for Big Fish sbouid take some of the pressure for classroom space off Bowmanville's public schools. Both Central and Vincent Massey are presently using portable classrooms and, in addition, ncw subdiv1is- ions in the east end of town are expected, to increase the enrolment at Vincent Massey considerably next year., Only six or eight chasses are expected to be involved next year but, if the population pressure warrants it, more classes and students from other scboois may be moved OBITUARIES MISS PHYLLIS MAY HOLT Born in Burketon, the son of A lifelong resident at R.R. 2 the late David and Florence Bowmanville, Phyllis May McKnight, he was educated in Hoît, passed away at her Burketon, Blackstock and home, on Saturday, May Bowmanville.

Prayens wene necited at the funenal homne Tujesday at 7:30 p..m. and No,.f6 (or Nno.8). Some liked the Japanese bam- boo top 'round 'brosh ut iow cost. Others found a synthetic brush gond. Sa- ble brushes run as bigh as $50 for top grades s0 arc ton expensive except for real artists, but there arc many qualities of sable and one can fine one with- in your ineans. Pat Clemes limited henscîf to two brushesonly, a No. 12 and cither a No. 6 or No, 8. miss CemePs said it is most im-portant to always teýst th brush eo o boy it tin, uc n spring and life.ý You jtîst cannot producee vani- nus strokes and î;varietv wanted with a lîifelcss brush, A lifeless brush will produiSe a lifeless painting. Dot, jab, swerve, sweep and practise with the brosh to get control. Be sure to leave white patches of paper always to give the painting sparkle. Make use of the texture and let the top pebblesne main white and, omit paint on some sections. She stnives for fneedom. Foir sketching, shermakes several s m al] sketches qtîickly to check the com- position. In contrast to ohîs, yot must pre-plan exactly wherc each colour will go and the exact com- position, as you cannot go over a coloun on change it. Then she lightly sketches in a soft Wolff's Carbon B on HB, not in detail. The soft Wolff's Carbon (or a graphite pencil) will not scratch non dig up the sur- face of the paper. Many used plastic cans or, lange glass jars for water botties and also a divisional tray like a muf- fin tin. Miss Clemes did not like tin palettes but did iike the white plasticý palette as you could* get the truc colour on white just as it w'ould appear on the papen. .There are many quali- tics of Sketching Books 0f vaninus sires for quick im- pressions. She herseif used Strathmorc multipurpose pads (No. 400-7) about 14 hoches by 17 inches, with a thistie embiem. They come in colored covers. A white coloun cover can be used for landscapes ýand the red rover for flowers etc., so you know xvhich one to refen to immediately. Heavier paper meant for possible framing and to bc covered with washes must he first soaked in water in the batbitubfor 30 min- uîtes to stretch it so it wlll flot later buckle. While still wet. place on a large soft sheet 0f plxvwood or drawing board and spread fiat. Tien tape it down al around witb a 2 loch bvown roll of stick paper. Wet the glue side with a sponge and stick. Masking, tape wîhl not do. Then let dr-y. Artists 'prepared thesc at home in advance..When finished,, if it looks good enough to frame, cut al around where vou guess the wvhite paper edge to be with -a paring koiife.. You can feel the ridge -of the paper about midway of the brown strip, and run it. Bits of brown paper the paring, knife beneath wvill stick to the white edge but these can, be softed and easily re- moved with al, bit of wet sponge or xwet kîcenex. If the palnting isn't good,-use the other side as well. Il both sides are flot 90oo1, place in warm water suds in your washing ma- chine until paper cornes white again. Waste noth- ing. paper by the large sheet 18 too costly and rag paper is beyond reach in price but -it is the best. Others used tbttmb tacks tb fasten paper temporar- lly to the board- andc many carrled large métal s-pring clips. Miss Clemnes believes thle beauty of water colour is in its transparency and de'.îcacy, so make use if the white paper and let it show through.. If you use opaque colours or add opaque whites. you mîght better be working in oils, she feit. Somne artists said, If you don't regularly paint wa- ter- colours it would be better to purchase the solîd colours . n haîf pans Qr full size (Windsor or Newton) in, white porce- lain individual containers. They feit the tubes were too costiy, for Sunday painters, especialiy those marked "Professional"l but that the tube colours werc beautiful. The "Student Colours" are cheaper and satisfactory. First cholc'e Is the English old standard "Windsor and Newton" both in coloursand brush- es, 'second choice is thc American "Grumbackeir", many thought. One artist carried her tubes in a glasjar to protect thcm from crushing. and %,ou can rcadily sec throuigh the glass which tube you wish next. The artîsts worked veryý rapldly and freely and gracefuily. Most sketches .were successful. Pat' Clemes, proved to be a helpful, dedicated teacher, able to bringý out better and Inspired work in the class in an atmosphere of relaxcd pence, ,harmionv,. and feliowsbip., TYRONE On Sunday moûrnîný the L.O.B.A. and L.O.L. church parade was held in Tyrone with a very fine turnout.
