While the total enrollment <of grades 9 through 13 leads to matriculation from the fiveâ€"year course, interest in the technical subjects has increased while registration for general arts and sciences, at present, has deâ€" creased. The resuits of 60 summe: school students from grades 16 to 12 who attended York Memâ€" orial Collegiate to improve their grades during the summer, "has been very favorable," according to Mr. Christic. Three new portable classrooms have been added for the new school term at Weston Collegiâ€" ate. This brings the present total of portables to nine. The problem of shifting students to and from the portables in preâ€" paration for inclement weather is now under consideration.

But Mayor C. W. Boddington stated that a proâ€" posal to make an elaborate entrance to the park at the corner of Church Street and Weston .Road had been rejected by the Finance Committee (which is also the Centennial Committee) before the plan was passed on to Council. The Mayor said in an interâ€" | â€"â€"â€" view that a southerly enlrance’ and to the park was favored by | 05@ the Committee. He added that| t when Council adopted the imâ€" provement of the park as the *Town‘s centennial project it only adopted the overall conâ€" cept and not any specific proâ€" posal. Parks and Recreation direcâ€" tor H. G. Wilson had earlier inâ€" dicated that approximately $40,000 â€"could conceivably be spent on the entrance. to the park at church street. The reâ€" mainder of the money, he had stated would be spent on walkâ€" ways and formal gardens. In the report of SELA made: public last week by Mayor Bodâ€" dington it was stated that more detailed plans for the park would _ be presented _ before September 10, tomorrow. FIRST STAGE As the first stage of a three part study to be done by the firm, it was to consider the sugâ€" gestions put forth for a centenâ€" nial project and recommend one of them. The four suggestâ€" ions were: construction . of a yearâ€"round. swimming pool, deâ€" velopment of a small combined sports field and stadium, conâ€" structioen of a multiâ€"purpose recreation centre, and the acâ€" quisition and development of parklands. s In rejecting the swimming pool proposal which was proâ€" posed by the Board of Educaâ€" tion, the report stated: "There is some concern as to whether a swimming pool at the high school would serve the total community." It noted, however that there was a deficiency in the community without such a facility. Ambulance Service Is A Provincial Responsibility Ambulance service is a proâ€" vincial _ responsibility Weston Mayor W. C. Boddington said in an interview. The mayor said he would agree to a Metro ambulance service only if the Province reâ€" fused to provide it. He said that the Provincial government reâ€" ceives the gasoline tax and license revenues and therefore should be willing to pay for the service necessary when people are injured using the highways. He â€" continued that 90 per cent of calls for ambulances were a direct result of the use of motor vehicles. In his Royal Commission reâ€" port on Metropolitan Toronto, H. Carl Goldenberg recommenâ€" ded a Metro wide ambulance service operated by the Metro corporation.
