In addition to approving fees for driving instruction, the school board set fees for 1979-80 evening class pro- grams. Fees range from $30 for 60 hour courses to $5.00 for courses lasting under 20 hours. Credit courses will cost $20.00. Instructors' fees were set at $14.00 per hour. Finish School The Waverley Public School is almost completed, accord- ing to the most recent report from its architects. The architectural firm of Moffet and Duncan informed the school board that some classrooms were to be turned over to the board at the end of June. The structure is to be with general practices in use across Ontario. In a letter to the school board, Mr. Parrott said that "careful examination of the scientific data does not pro- vide a basis for, nor support the claim that 2,4-D is a carcinogen (cancer-producing substance). Based on the available scientific informa- tion I cannot find any basis to further restrict this herbicide at this time." The Environment Minister added that "Care should be exercised to ensure that good practices are adhered to in the use of this and other pesti- cides." He provided the school board with two fact sheets to be used as guidelines for the correct methods of applying 2,4-D. Courtice Courts Tennis courts at the Cour- tice Secondary School are likely to proceed as scheduled as a result of a meeting of the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education last week. No objections to the project were raised by school officials when the Town of Newcastle's request for the tennis courts was brought to the board. "It is expected that the facility wouldn't be ready for the next three months," said Andy Thompson, chairman of the board. Trustees noted that the Courtice Secondary School's Awards were presented recently to Maple Grove Wolf Cubs, with Brent McColl (top left) winning the trophy for Best Cub of the Year, with 675 points.

The lower picture shows the winners of the Best Sixer award, front row, left to right, Billy Jennings, Mark Van Leewen, Jonathan Boyd; back row, Billy Walmsley, Chris Baylis, Mark Neamtu and Shawn Lawson. Student Council should be commended for raising $4,000 to be used to help finance the courts. School Rental The school board may bave found a temporary use for the Salem School located north- east of Bowmanville. At a meeting of the board in Cobourg last week, Lyle West asked trustees if the church group he represents could rent the building for Sunday wor- ship and Bible study groups. He said the group, which is waiting to be formally regist- ered as church organization, has 75 to 100 members from Newcastle to Whitby and as far north as Port Perry. The board recommended that the closed schools com- mittee meet with the church group to discuss this matter further.
