Reach Area Attracts Few Candidates Following close of mnomina-| tions at 2 p.m. on Saturday last, only 2 names were offered as T possible Trustees for the Reach Area School Board. Nomina- tions for the 5 incumbent mem- bers were declared, plus one nomination for Mr. Mac Chris- tie, Manchester and Mrs. Frank Honey, R.R. 1, Port Perry. As veteran School Board member Neil Hunter, R.R. 2, Seagrave failed to put in an appearance, or communicate his willingness to stand, this nomination was declared void. The nomination of Mrs. Frank Honey was alse I NCS CYP Ae School Board| abandoned, as she had not quali- fied with the Returning Officer by Monday Noon. This left Mr, Mac Christie to fill the office vacated by Mr. Hunter and he will serve on the School Board with the other four members for a 2-year term. No election will take place for School Trustees and it is quite apparent that apathy in public office is the general rule. Al- most half the ratepayers who attended the Nomination Meet- ing on Saturday left the Man- chester Township Hall before the various school trustees had CREE NEE CREO RE NE INE RENE SNOW TIRE Lane Traction Grip "WHEELING ON PACKAGE -DEALS" CONSISTS OF 2 NEW SNOW TIRES, 2 NEW WHEELS, STEMS -- MOUNTING ON WHEELS AND INSTALLATION DOMINION--- GOOD YEAR 2 NEW VALVE ON CAR Sure Grip NYLON TUBELESS Blackwall 735 x 14 750 x 14 775 x 14 34.93 $4.00 Extra For White Walls SPECIALS 750 x 14 12.90 «o SUBURBANITE | ANTI - FREEZE | ETHYLENE - GLYCOL Gallon | $2.99 FREE ICE FOR ALL CUSTOMERS SCRAPER LIMI DEPENDABLE SERVICE BEARE MOTOR Queen St. PORT PERRY 985-7351 TED FOR OVER 50 YEARS a chance to speak. Presiding Chairman, Clerk Alex Johns had some difficulty in re-gaining order at the meet- ing as small groups noisily left the Hall. School Board Chair- man, William Stone was finally given the attention of those re- maining and he reports that by Septemebr, 1966 enrolment in Reach Public Schools will be well over the 700 mark. With 700 or more students, this will equal the Port Perry High School registration. At the present time, the three 4- roomed Consolidated Schools are at peak capacity, and the by the building of two portable types are also bulging. It is now proposed that an 8- room addition--will be built at Prince Albert, in the form of a two storey structure connected to the present four classrooms. With the building of these 8 rooms it will be possible to close the two remaining rural schools at Manchester, the Yellow School north of Port Perry, the old school in Prince Albert and possibly the transfer of the first portable from Prince Al- bert to Epsom. For the 1966 and 1967 terms, the Reach Area School Board will have the following Trus- tees: Messrs. W, Stone; E. Wil- son; B. Holtby; M. Christie and Mrs. W E. Mulholland. Secre- 'tary to the Board is Mrs. Clay- ton Love, two extra classrooms provided. PORT. PERRY STAR, Thursday, Dec. 2, 1965-21 county Wide Reeve W. H. Gould told coun- cillors on Tuesday night that the subject of making the/Health Unit county-wide, had, come in for lengthy discussion at the November meeting of County Council, Both he and Deputy-reeve Ball were very much in favour of having this done although there were some reeves and de- puty - reeves unfavourable to making it mandatory. At the present time, he said, with seven townships in the Unit, a total of 729% of county residents were covered. However, he said, we feel that every child in this county should be entitled to all the privileges and benefits a Health Unit can provide and we are going to continue to urge that the entire county comes in. At present the per capita cost is $1.10--a most reasonable cost for health, Mr. Gould stated. The "discussion bogged down at County Council but was re- ferred back to the committee of council and the executive the Health Unit committee for fur- ther discussion. The findings Health Unit Sought By Uxbridge Reeve will be brought back to council on December 9th. Should the entire county be covered by services of a health unit, federal grants are received and the province will meet dol- lar-for-dollar any money spent by the county. Rent must be paid now but, again, if the county is all in, the government pays 100 per cent subsidy on all offices set up. There are 30 counties fully covered and three partly cover- ed at the present time. Mr. Ball noted that locally several cases of poor vision and poor hearing in students had been discovered by the Public Health Nurse and the matter corrected or aided. This is a probable reason why some do not do as well in school as they should, he said and since we are paying for education we should also be concerned in sce- ing that they are looked after in health also.
