Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Rv C. Forrester - EdItor a.nd lranggcer s-cnt, WHAT OTHERS SAY_ Congratulations Rev. John Congratulation and appreciatian go to the 11ev. John Kitchien, minister of Chippawa's St. Paul's, United Church ;who has celebrated a haîf century in the work of the éhurch Rev. John, as hie is fondly known to many, many friends is an unique personality. an-d a man of unlimited energy. Mfter a stint as an army chaplain following his ordination in 1916 hie went to China and worked there for 31 years, coming back ta Canada la 1951. One of his labours of love in China was running a printing press for church missions in the lan-d and many a joke hasý passed between Rev. John and this writer with hlm insisting - an-d we don't doubt it - that hie stili hais sufficient knaow-how ta pick up a union card any day at The Evening Review. Just days away from Mhs Sth year as a minister, Mr. Kitchen retains his youthful appearance, his warmn smsle an& his vibrant energy. His activities haven't diminished wîth his years and it will be a saiÈry day for St. Paul's - a church that hie built - when he eventually decides ta leave his pulpit and take a seat with the congregation. His friends hcpe that day stihi ss a long way away. f The 'Evening Review The Teacher- Most Important During the past weeks this columnu has been advo- cating larger public schooi units bath in the interest of education and in the interest of economy. The degrec of aceamplishment of any educational system resta chiefly in the classroom with the educator or teacher. It is in this area that emphasis must be placed if we are ta maintain a proper standard of education. Teachers today are in a. position in which they can make choice. There la no surplus of teachers and muchi campetitive bidding la promoted by Boards 'to even coin- plete their staffs. As standards in the profession are to rise (a need of a BA) there is littie hope that this situation tao few teachers, will change over the next few years. In the past number of years the majority of teachers have desired ta teach in the larger school units where they have. only anc class& Even in this there is change today. Public sehool teachers now have apportunity of teaching iin a rotary system where they, teach their own special sub- 3j-ect. There can be no dousbt that a teacher teaching his ,speelalty shoutld be able ta accoinplish more. Not only is the teacher, under such a system, more qualified because of their istoiest but also mare content ln the profession. This resuits la bettereducation for the student which of course is the açme of, any educational systemn. Smnall school irnits, as we are maintaining in Clarke, are not conducive in attracting grade 'A' touchers.. There isach mare being offered 'elsewhere 'even a4her than sal ary sehedule. This fact is borne out in that at the present timne the Clarke area is stilIinl need of six teachers ,. .. and al needed for the smaller schoals. The turnover in teachers in Clarke this year has been considerable and Clarke has little ta offer the top grade teacher in comparison ta other areas where the trend is ta large units aj d even ta senior public sehools as in Darlington. The f ield of education is over advancing with new techniques and teaching aida,. The graduating teachers are interested in the new era and their studies have been'gear- ed ta these new techniques,.110w can we hope ta attract them ta a systemn that is outdated today and under pre- sent plans wilI be outdated for years ta came. The larger sechool unit has much ta offer with its greatest contribution being case of staffing whîch 15: most important in providing a top-notch educational system. What hope has the Clarke Board, in need of six teachers, filing these vacancies with grade 'A' teachers and especially at this time of year? This fact alone denotes the problerm today and the future is not eneouraging, Contravenes Township Byg-Lauwe It appears that the severance of property at the cor- ner of Centre street Pnd Church street for use as a Post 0f- fice site is la contravention of the Restricted Area By-law reeentîy passed by the towvnship of Clarke. The present hotel block with its number of apartmnents does not meet the conditions of the by-law and with the severance of pro- pemr', from this block for a Post Office bings conditions evon furthei out of line. The by-law states that multiple family dwellîngs with ail services musthave 8000, squareýc feet of property plus 2000 square feet for every unit ýin ex-,cess af three. Further thýe by-aw states that total !ý-sildiag amen shall cover no more than 34'% of the lot area. These conditions, in aur figuring can not be met on this site and thus contravene certain portions af the existing by-law., On queationing this point we were informed that the Federal government did not have ta abide by the conditions af any municipal by-iaw. Surely these by-iaw are well con- sidered before being passed bath at the municipal. level and at the Provincial level and instituted for the protec- tion of the cîtîzens within the area théy are defined. Why would the Federal gavernmcnt be given licence, if sa they have, ta be able ta disregard local by-laws.

Woodyard inforined councîl on Tuesday> that if the Mrs. Rcwena Dean is a patient T'ownship charged the Village a lin the Memorial Hlospital, Bow- sum of $150000 as described by manville. the Township auditors that t Mr. Sid Hughes has returned ta would increase the cost af water Sunnybrook Hospital for a check- ta Orono users by $7.00 a year. up. The $7.00 figure, ho said, was pro- vidld* to hlm by the manager of the water system, Mr.- Dent. The statement came during a discussion of a letter from the Township auditors in which the IEKE auditars felt a charge of $1500.00f shuludu e madee aiinuaiiiy against the Orono water system by the Township for services of the clcrk-treasurer and for admninis- tration of the system through the Township office.. .Mr. Milîson stated that the hydro lookcd after consumptian and that everything else was handled through the Township of- fice. The clerk was question ta what this consisted and replied that there were changes on the roll and cards, collecting miones on the tax bill along with the ov- eral administration. Mr. Woodyard, who was repre- senting the Ox'ono Police Trustees stated that there was certainly going to have to be a clear defin- ition of the' work undertaken by the Township and Hydro in con- nectian with the wqter system.& He pointed out that 'the Trustees wcre paying hydro to manage the system and look after it . .. these charges can flot continue to go on and on, he said. Reeve Stone said they wonted ta be fair both ta Orono and the municipalîty an-d further hie did not know whatWork was învolved on the part of water. His sugges- tion to eaul a special meeting was accepted an dMr. Woodyard was authorized to 8etup this meeting. .It was stated that there appear- ed to be considerable confusion as to 'what duties each authorityI had, APPROVES BASEMENT PLAN FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY Deputy-reeve Lorne Perrault asked if council was going ta give approval of the plapis as sub-- mitted for renovating the base- ment area of the Township Hall for the Orono Public Library. Hee 1 said thait council had given their verbal approval and asked that they know either, support the plan or throw it 'out. On motion of L. Perrault and O. Falls the plan was given sanction by council, S IDEWALK CONSTRUCTIONý FOR NEWTONVILLE Couicil accepted a tender fmom Bennetit Paving to construct 312 feet of. asphaît sidewalk in New- tonville at a cost of $86500.
