e Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. December 24 1975 Carke High School's Bands and Choirs Present "Almost Christmas Concert" On Tuesday evening, Dec. 16th, Clarke High School's four bands and two choirs presented their 2nd Almost Christmas concert in the auditorium that was filled for the occasion. These two photos show the intermediate band that led off the program, followed by the combined choirs.

Based on student enroll- ment, the Northumberland and Newcastle board operates the 16th largest elementary school board and the 19th largest secondary school sys- tem among the 38 county boards. Boards for defined cities in Southern Ontario are not included in this ranking, only the county boards: Total expenditures er pupil for elementary and Newcastle in 1974 was $891. The figures show that 45 county boards of the 66 spent more. In 1975 the Northumberland and New- castle board budgeted a total of $1,088 per pupii and moved up two spots in the ranking so that 43 boards budgeted more. For secondary school ed- ucation, the total expenditure in 1974 in Northumberland and Newcastle was $1,514 per pupil. This placed the local board at about the centre of the ranking for the 38 boards, with 16 boards spending more. The total 1975 amount budgeted per pupil 1 in the secondary schools in Northumberland and Newcastle was $1,740. Inflation must have bit all the secondary school boards, because although this board budgeted more than 1974 actual expenditure, the local board dropped in its ranking among the 38 boards operating secondary schools, with 20 boards spending more per pupils. The expenditures per pupil in bath the eiementary and secondar school systems are broken own into eight cat- egories. Eating up the largest portion of the expenditure is instruction costs. In 1974 $559 was spent orn instruction for each eiementary pupil, giving the local board a rankîng 0f 51st in spendingon instructing among 66 boards. For 1975 $714 per pupil was budgeted for instruction in the elemen- tar system, and 43 boards bu geted more. In the second- ary system, $1,020 was spent per student on instruction in 1974 with 27 of 38 boards spending more. For 1975, the instructional costs per pupil were budgeted at $1,211 at t e secondary level, with 27 boards of a total of 38 budgeting more than the local board. Explaining why instruction- ai expenses per pupil in this board were fairly low as compared to other boards, director of education Frank Thom said the level of experience in larger centres seems to be higher. In the past, Mr. Thom said, teachers started their careers in rural areas and then moved to larger centres. Teachers with more experience draw higher salaries.. the trend bas changed now, an Mr. Thom said that teachers seem to be staying in the rural areas for langer periods of time. In other words, teachers who start with this board often stay with this board and the level of experience seems to be rising. There has been a great deal of controversy over recent raises granted to senior offi- fis of thetboard,tbut the figures p oint out that the Northumberland -,Newcastle board ranks fairly low in its per pupii business admin. costs in 1974, the local board spent $16 per elementary pupil on business administration and 48 of 66 boards spent more. The 1975 budget inciud- ed $21 per pupil for business administration and 46 boards budgeted more. At the secon- dary level, business admini- stration costs $20 per pupil in 1974 and 35 of the 38 county boards in Southern Ontario spent more. The 1975 budget included $26 per secondary student for business admini- stration and 356 county boards budgeted more. Some of the senior otticiais salaries would be included in educational services rather than business administration, but the Northumberland and Newcastle also ranked quite low on this expenditure. Plant maintenance expend- itures in this board's jurisdict- ion ranking seventh in 1974 of 66 boards and seventh of 38 secondary boards in 1974. In 1975 the categories of plant maintenance and operation were combined for the budget and both the elementary and secondary rankings dropped, when this combination was made. Board members were quite interested in the ranking and asked, a number of questions about different figures in the listings. - Port Hope Guide "PUMPKIN CHEESE PIE" 1 Cup Canned Pumpkin 1 lb.

STYLES AT, Jae Patraboy MIDTOWN MALL Oshawa, "Your Christmas Gift Store for Men" Christmas Seat Organization 75th Anniversary The Canadian and Amer- ican Christmas Seal organ- izations jained in an inter- national Conference an Lung Diseases May 18 to 21 in Montreal to mark the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, the Christmas Seal organization. More than 3,000 delegates-- physicians, nurses, ara- medical personnel and vol- unteers attended the three and i a half day sessions which provided scientific and med- ical presentations on the latest develooments in lung disease research, communit. pro- gram discussions and nursing sessions. And it all started 75 years ago. Your local TB and RD Association now conducts a year-round community pro- gram, health education and research. Tuberculosis was the num- ber one killer in Canada at the turn of the century. An estimated 200 of every 100,000 Canadiarns died annually of the disease. Thus the Can- adian Association for the Prevention of Consumption and other Forms of Tubercu- losis came into being and started the long road to what is near success--but not quite-- elimination of Tuberculosis in Canada. Provincial and local volun- tary Associations had to be organized to raise funds to build sanatoria for patients, to provide vital education, to establish clinics for diagnostic purposes and to carry out X-ray surveys, tuberculin testingsurveys and initiate rehabilitation services. In the beginning those funds came from local organizations which raised monies by var- îaus charitable means. How- ever, it was Einar Holboeii a postal clerk in Denmark who, while sorting holiday mail a December night in 1903, con- ceived the idea of a special stamp ta be used on Christmas letters and packages ta, raise fonds ta fig ht TB. Lt worked; the idea spread ta the United States in 1907, to Canada in 1908 in Hamilton and Toronto, and by 1927, tlie Christmnas Seai Campaign became the official means for all branches of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association to continue the battle against TB. Dramatic changes have oc- curred in the status of tuberculosis since the found- ing of the voluntary health agency. In the early 20's over 7,600 Canadians died annually of tuberculosis, by the early 40's that figure was around 6,000, by 1960 the mortality dropped to 823 and in 1973, 408 Canadians died of tubercu- losis. The big turn around came in the mid 50's as the proper use of chemotherapy to control tuberculosis was developed. The discovery of anti-TB drugs like streptomycin, is- oniazid and more recently rifampin, along with other anti-tubercosis drugs, and improveac management rmeas- ures have brought about unbelievable changes. With tuberculosis virtually under control by 1960, the Association reflected the change in expansion into other lung diseases, chiefl asthma, emphysema and bronchitis and the environmental threats to -the lung--air pollution and smoking. National and prov- incial Thoracic Societies of physicians especially inter- ested in chest medicine and a national Nurses' Section with rovincial groups came into being s the professionai entities of the Association. The official name change from Canadian Tuberculosis As- sociation to Canadian Tuber- culosis and Respiratory disease Association was made in 1968. The number of deaths and the death rate forchroni obstructive lung disease con- tinue to rise andin the United States reached an al-time high in 1973(the iatest year for which statistics are avail- able). Comparable increases oc- detswere attrabute sp3eif ically ta bronchitis, em- physema and asthma in the same year. Statistics indicate that over 17,500 Canadians die yearly of lung disease, placing res- pira tory diseases third along with lung cancer and behind heart disease and stroke as 1 Ounce Thin Sliced White Bread 1 Tsp.
