"How can we spend ‘monev we on't even receive?" asked Reeve oodhead. "This is just another f many examples whereby amal- kamationists are desperately try- lin,, to mislead the public." The metro eouneil's suburban representatives took a united stand last week on the proposed amalea- mation of departments of health.

Mr. Turman also criticized coun- cil because, he said, members of the parks committee "took on themselves no responsibility for the laxity and inefficiency reveal- ed in evdienee." With council tempers running high, Reeve Norman Goodhead re- plied that he, as reeve, was the only elected administrative officer and as such it was his duty to bear the responsibility for anything that went wrong. "Explain why this council should reprimand the parks committee for something that is not their re- sponsibility, and omit to reprimand for amalgamation which, he feels, will most certainly come about since Toronto members support it and the metro chairman is in fav- "Ih's like playing poker against a stacked dech," le added.

"Studies made in our office dur- ing the past six months have con- vinced me it would be impossible to operate the existing 11 Toronto school boards under a uniform tax rate, and leave any fiexibility of operation or autonomy at the local level." Mr. McCordic said if resources of the Toronto area are made avail- able for all children in it by a uni- form tax rate for education, cont- vol would have to be transferred from local boards to a revamped Metropolitan school board.

Re-Elect Mrs. Matthews Mrs. Frank Matthews of Fiesta Lane was re-elected York West Council's president for a second term and, in accepting the office, Mrs/Matthews said she regarded "a second term as a second chan- ce", and pledged that the council would maintain the standard of its service to home and school associa- tions throughout the area.

The I‘eeve reported more than $100,000 was paid for land fill in four parks when less than. $18,- 000 had been allocated for parks development. The inquiry found no evidence of bribery or corruption and said the township received dollar value for the land fill operations. .Douglas W.

I Grade 8's Given Plan If you’ve got, a youngster in Grade 8, in a day or so you will be receiving an outline of the cout'- ses available in Etobicoke high schools, "What I like about these three branches (arts and science; busi- ness and commerce; science and technology) is 'that. they all lead to grade 13," said Jack E. Baker, assistant superintendent of second- ary schools. “I feel a youngster is given an opportunity to explore. He can change courses at the end of grade nine and even later in his high school career." Mr. Baker said that meetings at Burnhamthorpe and Thistletown collegiates last week attracted ap- proximately 500 parents who had some pretty speeifte questions to ask about Ontario's revamped high school curriculum. The flexibility of the courses was of major concern because many parents feel that the average child hasn't the foggiest notion what he wants to be when he's at the end of grade 8, and, probably, hasn't much more idea by the end of grade 9. The Robarts Plan dirrdes the high gchoN rurnwlum into three compartments come September, but it has been emphasized to parents all over the township that the choice of course k youngster maker on entering Grade 9 is not one that‘ he must stick with, or be stuck with, for all his. high school cab‘ eer. The Metropolitan Police Commission may reduce the num- ber of policemen in Weston. according to information re- ceived by some members of Weston Council.

Weston Councillors, how- ever, speculated that if there is a general transfer the offi- cers will likely be moved to the new police station now un.. der construction at Shepherd and Jane Sts. Magistrate C. O. B i ck, Chairman of the Police Com- mission commented, "I know nothing about any proposal to transfer most of the offVers from the Weston police head- quarters."
