Mrs. Coyle was born in Sunderland, and went to the "little red school house" where she completed her lower school and then on to St. Joseph's Convent in Lind- say where she became a teacher at the age of nineteen. She often reminisced about her first school, in Virginia, where she had fifty-two pupils the first day, and many of them bigger than herself. She married Joseph Coyle in 1913 and farmed in Sun- derland until his death in 1939, when she moved to Port Perry to be near her brother, Leonard Leahy. Mrs. Coyle lost her oldest daughter, Mary, at age 2 and her youngest son, John, at age 18. She has five other children, Michael, Patricia and Barbara of Toronto, Joyce of Uxbridge and Kacey of Port Perry. All her grand children through the years have spoken fondly about Gram- ma's famous saying, "If you can't say anything good about a person, don't say anything at all".

The contractor has agreed "to pay any costs necessary to bring the system regional standards. up to "We have an opportunity here to bang this guy for almost $1 million bucks. If I was a good business man I would go ahead and do it," Coun. Mike Breaugh of Osh- awa said, "But I have to be able to sleep at night." The development involves 1036 units and council has asked for another report on the matter.

Still inequality between rural and urban schools There is still inequality in opportunity between rural and urban schools under the jurisdiction of the Durham oard of Education, accord- Ing to Scugog trustee Yvonne Christie. i Mrs. Christie said there is a need in the area, "north of | 0, the ridges", for an educat- ional institution offering the same type of training as given at Vanier Secondary School in Oshawa and at Harwood Secondary School in Ajax.
