No doubt the new ceiling is warranted as the costs of everything is going up and up, materials and wages. The most notable action by'the minister, however, is the narrowing of the gap in ceilings between the secondary field of education and that of the elementary level. From his action to narrow this gap there must at last be a realization that the primary level of education does contain some importance to that of the secondary level. In the past most of the emphasis has been placed at the secondary level and the elementary level bas been the poor sister. Needless to say the informative years in education do rest with the elementary school. t is here, that the patterns and incentives are established for the individual student. t is, the ail-important level of education. Secondary and post education does not require aIl the insentives if the student has obtained these in the formaàtive 'years in the elementary school. t is unlikely that reading programs at the secondary level of education will have the effect that they do in public schools. Nor will other aids prove more effective in the upper level than in those early years when a students starts on the educational road. One could well start at the community college and uiversity level to hear that students arrive fromn high school without being able to read, write or speIl'properly. Then again the high school makes this notes of students coming to them. But in the meantime we have too often taken the primfary school too lîghtly and kept them within a straight jacket white ail the emphasis and money went to the high form of education. Well's is approaching one of the knotty problems in education and it is hopeful that -the elementary school is to be considered the formative. years in preparîng our young citi zens for the future. PUt"' A BOOK IN THE HANDS 0F A CHILD After a years study a task force set up by the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education has reported that reading should be of top priority in the school systemà within the next year. The art of reading is the tool to ail learning no matterin what subject. The report also states the need forcreative work by the student in reading which could be augmnented at the elemrentary lev-el of education. The responsibility for reading dees not altogether hinges on the schools but should start in the home at an early age with stories being read to the -children with enicouragement for themn to use picture books at an early age and to begin reading themnselves. t is in this area that your local library can be of assistance where books for heginners are available. Be sure to make use of this service for your child at an early age. t will mnake life a lot easier as they advance towards their goals in the future. Up'and down. the bookstacks TIIURS.

The report will corne before the committee in the future and recommnend- ation couldthen go to the area municipalities to implemnent, if they wished, into thecir plans. Councillor Potticary, and Mayor of. Oshawa, s tated that, the city had been forced into such undertakings due to the influx of the people into the city'looking for work. Some members of the commn-ittee drew a relation- ship between subsidized rent- al housing and day care. Commissioner Johns said that with 100 such units there is then a need for the reg;on to consider day care, nurseries. Councillor Potticary quest- ioned if the province was getting up-to-date information on day care centres- and pointed out that countries in Europe were getting out of day care. In one country they are paying women to stay at home to take care of. their children rather than provid- ing day-care centres so they could go out to work. The councillor asked. whether building more and more facilities is the correct solut- ion. Ga rbage rates may increase Residents here can probab- ly look forward to an increase in their garbage pick up rates in the near future. Newcastle works commit- tee has decided to studythe present rates, and come up with new recommendations shortly. Bowmanville is the only part of Newcastle that has garbage collection included as part of its tax rate. The garbage is transported to the Darlington landfill site. Council was informed that the rates, set in 1966, haven't changed since then. They are $27 a year for a once a week pick-up for commercial buildings, $50 a year for twice a week pick-up.
