Spend $403,200 Orono VOLUME 32, NUMBER 7 Wleekly Times ORONO WIEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20th, 1969. S'enior PubliÏcSchool Proposed Ganaraska PIee Mr. Roy Foster, Reeve of Clarkc Township, stated at a meeting of the Council on Thurs- day evening that the Ganaraska Conservation Authority was sur- viving only due to a small budget. He presented a case for the in- creasing of the granlt to the Au- thority and in his presentation stated that the Ganaraska was op- erating on one of the lowest bud- gets of any Conservation author- ity. Further lie stated that- the Ganaraska was practically the on- iy. Authority that was operating solely in the area of Conserva- tion. It was pointed out that oth- er Areas were developing large recreational areas. It was also pointed out that through taxation of, the holdings of the Ganaraska in Carke that monies 110w granted to 'the Auth- ority werc being rcturned. Not ail this money goes to the Town- ship but it is distributed for cdu- cation and other purposes. Mr. Foster said that grants from the Municipalities were uised to pay taxes whiie grants from the Prov- ince were used on maintenance and operation. Thc Ganaraska, it was said, is barely existing.. Council looked favourably, to increasing the grant providing Municipalities of Hope and Port Hope did like-wisè. The matter was left until Clarke could deter- mine the intent of the two other centres. The Reeve aiso reported that Clarke was not collecting ail the Plumbing permits that it should. Hie had been informed that some twenty permits lad not been col- lected in thie past while. The matter is to be looked into and necessary changes made At the Northumnberland-Dur- Lami County 'High Sceeol Board mneeting 1,1st Thursday cvening a proposed plan for 'Senior Ele- mentary Eduication i n the western section of Durham was presentc,, to the Board. The report submit- ted by G. A. MacLeod, Superin- tendlent of Instruction, was laid over,. The report stated that any plan to provide adequate Senior El- cnt'ary Education in thc west- erni part of Durham must include nût, only a proposed solbool at .l3owmanvîlle but also the event- ual enlargement of the M. J. liobbs Sehool in Hampton. Th'le report continues, Thc successful M. J. Hobbs isehool poýin.ts out the type of preparation., for secondary educa- lion that is desirable. The north- erni part of Durham County couid for the miost part, be servcd by this sehlool. A similar type of school is re- quircd for the southern part. The '50 Bowmanvillc pupîls' ligible for senior education by 1971 have not had the best education- ai opportunities over the Past years. The spccialized facilitiesý such as an art room a science roorn, a library resource centre, a modemn homne economîcs and industrial arts area and a genieral purpose room have been denicd te them. About one-haîf of these students have been cducated in the old Central Selool building which is well below standard as an educational 'institution for Sen- ior students. The formation of a County Board has opened up opportun- ities for the chidren from New- tonville, Lockhart's, Brown's and Newcastle to receive senior cdu- cation at a central senior sehool. These pupils are all close to High way 2 and could be transportcd easily to a senior sehool at.Bow- .manville. In addition to the pupils men- tioned above, the chldren from Shaw's, Salcm, from, south of H-ighway 401, and lfrom Maple Grove East whicl. are ail close to Bowmanville could be with- drawn *from the M. J. H-obbs sclool and made available for the -Senior Sclool in Bowmanville This would give the Bowmanville school an enrolment of 616. The Overcrowded Condition at M.J. llobbs Sehool Enrolmen t figures at the M. J. Hobbs Senior Sclool show' that 1969-1971 there Will be -et ieast 556 students in 14 classrooms. The ýnýaxmum numbor that sliould le, educated in thisý accommoda- tion is 490 students.
