Sharing of school attacked on legal and social grounds by Murray Moore Simcoe County Board of Education was strongly criticised Wednesday evening by a Midland resident with a child attending Penetanguishene's _ St. Joseph School for sharing the school with the county separate school board. William Ogilvie, reading from a prepared speech, made references' to the su.ial climate in the American South before the civil rights movement gained momentum in_ the 1960's. and to Belfast and Dublin. Ogilvie questioned the legality of the situation under which Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board shares the St. Joseph School annex with the Simcoe County Board of Education. He told the board he understood the agreement to share the school has not '"finalized". He cited a section of the provincial Education Act to prove been Combined training session termed worthwhile week's training program set the session up so Midland and Tay Township firefighters joined forces Wednesday night at RCA, not to fight a raging inferno, but to take part in a joint training program spear-headed by Old Fort Road Fire Department's Bill Beck and Midland Fire Department's Hal Belfry. Both deputy chiefs put close to 30 firefighters through their paces using a as touse Tay's porta-tank to relay water from one pumper to another. Deputy Chief Belfry called the session 'worthwhile' and indicated there were plans afoot to hold similar ones in the future. A dozen Tay firefighters and 17 from Midland took part in the training session. that alterations in the school without the approval of the ministry of education are illegal. Segregated The creation of a segregated and separate school within a public school is, he said, inappropriate and_in- defensible. He described the separate school pupils as pawns in a religious numbers game and, further, that a religious ghetto is being created. Ogilvie charged discrimination was present in a comparison of pupil-teacher ratios, stating that the pupil- teacher ratio for the public section of the annex was 22.7 and that the ration in the separate school section ot the annex was 9. Despite attempts, he claimed, to play down the information, every separate school, whether Catholic or Protestant, requires provincial subsidiza- tion. The result, he said, is that the quality of education is suffering. Some building The existence of the two schools in the same building is, he said, "a ludicrous duplication of services." He asked taxpayers unhappy with the financial millstone of supporting two boards of education to call for a referendum on having two educational systems. If the parents com- mittee was happy to accept a few crumbs thrown them by the board, he, for his part, was not satisfied by a few cosmetic con- cessions, he said. Board chairman Roy Edwards' thanked Ogilvie for his presentation, and added unless the trustees had questions, the board would take QOgilvie's submission under ad- visement. (Ogilvie, seated near the press table. replied in a low voice. "I'm sure you will."'. None of the trustees had any questions. oR eR al pumper from both municipalities as well as a tanker from Tay Township Since both departments are often called ' upon to fight local fires under the county's i mutual fire aid agreement, organizers of this a a y Distric is !
