'Indeed , 'I found many of the things I. had 'been told about l disliked: the crowds, the smog., and the: general lack of breathing space.'and privacy.- Probably the' worst thing, was the weather' since it seemed to rain all the time'. • `. But as I adjusted to these, con- , ditions,: l.began to notice.the, better points of the city. 1 discovered ;that the•people weren't really unfriendly in the city.,. .

And there were4so many things to do and places to go.. Some of them were expensive but it was surprising how many were -free., if: :youknew where to go. • I discovered too, that Toronto t Bally is the 'exciting vibrant' city .all the -public relations people' say.it is. If it used :tobe stodgy, it isn't any more.. Much of the credit for this new liveliness must go to the youth of the city .

WEDNESDAY, .MARCH 1st 1967 iCl • �EBN The closing of schools, is ,not a. new issue, in this comm..unity. In o scann}ng the 30 year ago issues.pf The Sentinel., the following arti- cle was noticed, and' in view of • the recent decisions ,on• school' matters,. it ,appears quite timely, ..:-,Thirty years ago, four pupils ;'were attending Grey Qx school 'at concession 4, Kinloss. They were Jean MacKinnon;,:Donald Macln tyre; ,.Margaret and Graham Mac Donald., The teacher was Miss, Mary' MacKinnon. The Department of Education • had suggested that the school, be - .cause of .its 'low enrolment,. should be closed. but the ratepayers of the section were determined to keep it open 'A ratepayers meeting with• inspector: George :C.; Dobson brought out the ire in the section,. Total cost•of operating the :school the:previ'ous year had .been less. than $800., The ratepayers app- • roached C.A. • Robertson, MLA for Huron -Bruce and explained that the four children would' have to attend the 6th school if Grey `Ox ' was closed., ';and in one case it would be over'4' 1/2 miles on some of the worst winter roads in. they country: • Trustees'at the' time:.were Albert and Edward Little acid Angus Gr ah - arn Robert.Moffat was secretary.- treasurer..'' Thirty years can make a big differencein the thinking of a, community.. We' all know what happened: eventually: to Grey 'Ox and `.all theother.smail'rural sch- ools in the area.
