M. Weatherhead, vice- president of the Ontario Feder- ation of Home and School Asso- ciation when she spoke to a joint meeting of parents from t he three towns in the Hotel Hailey- bury last week. The meeting was preceded by a luncheon at which representatives from every organization in town were present. "To be happy," Mrs. Weather- head said "we must belong to somethne , bigger than ot- selves." In Ontario, the Home and School numbers 100,000 and in Canada 200,000 members. "We are not here te criticize or interfere but rather to co- operate. Home and School or- ganizations have nothing to do with the administration of the school and we are here to help with some of the problems which parents face. Many are afraid of the phrase "parent education" but today through plays films and 'h of reading matrial, pa rents are led to a better under- standing of their child's beha- viour. They show that the prob- Joint Meeting of Tri-Towns Hear Home and School Heads Jems you face are not insur- mayntable. When you learn that such a behavoiur is typical fora child of two, you will lose that overwhelming feeling that your child is going through a stage with which you cannot deal. Mrs. Weatherhead said the four important points to remem- ber were love your child and let the child know it; think of the child as an individual and treat the child as a person; trust your child and tell the child you do and let the child know he or she is wanted, Another vice-president of the Federation, Mrs. John Cropper of St. Catharines said that "al- though we often hear it said that we are over-organized today, I feel there is a place for the Home and School. The home and the school each have a job to do in the community but they should be working together to help one another." Mrs. Cropper said that the apathy of citizens i municipal eelctions today was alarming--in this respect she pointed out that the- type of women on the Board of Educa- tion in Haileybury is an exam ple to Southern Ontario. '"We must 'work together for what we believe is right and we will develop good, healthy citizens in our children." or S3S235322"; OPEN: assess tao sess st33332 744 CHRISTMAS STORE HOURS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS December 8, 15 22.

Agreed with Councillor A. C. Mosher that a 200-watt light should be installed on the east side of the highway at the Pub- lic School. It has been found that the additional 200-watt bulbs shining from the oppo:ite side of the highway do not suffi- ciently light the entrance to the auditorium and it was considered to be as D. Gardner put it "a real menace-" - Heard a letter from Mrs. 0. Childs which upbraided the Coun- cil for their recent action in ordering citizens to follow new regulations concerning outdoor privies. Council will leave the matter with the Temiskaming Health Unit to advise citizens on the required regulations to follow. Discussed the merits of fol- lowing a widely used sysem-- that of placing a charge accord- ing to service for garbage col- lection against everyone on the quarterly water bill. "In_ this way," D. H. Millar pointed out, "we could get a more equitable distribution of costs." D, Gard- ner agreed that it certainly had its merits. "There will be cri- ticism at first as always" he said, "but it sounds sensible.

The decision will] be that of next year's Council. Passed a motion "That the Mayor and Council of Hailey- bury request the citizens to ob- esrve December 27th as a holi day." Tne Mayor read an excerpt trent the Municinai World point- ine out that Mayors and Cotin- cils who were in the habit of issuing proclamations for special holidays had no such authority even if it is common practice. For this reason, it was decided to put it in the form of a request and then as D, H. Millar said "if John Smith wants to keep his store open that's his business."
