Still A 3-2 Decision "We're Not Through Yet"
Over 40 disgruntled ratepay-
ers from Bayfield and West
Stanley left a meeting with the
Stanley Township School Area
Board On Wednesday evening
muttering -ideas about their
next move and shouting for the
world to hear, "We're not
through yet."
Several retain-the-BayfieId-
school promoters, indicated their
renewed determination to fight
for their rights in the face of
the Board's three-to-two vote
against their proposal,
Mrs. Leroy Poth, chairman of
the SOS committee, presented
Bayfield'e former proposal for a
two classroom and gymtorium
addition to, their present two-
room school, only ten years. old.
She stated clearly that taxpay-
ers in West Stanley and Hay-
field were opposed to a 16-room
central school 'at Brumfield, and
presented the board with a pet-
ition signed by 722 persons.
Mrs. Faith, a former teacher
and principal of the Hayfield
school,' said -the signatures were
from parents 'and other resi-
dents in school sections 3, , 4
East, 4 West, 9 and Bayfield.
Of 512 eligible voters, in Bay-
field, 492 or 95 per -cent had
signed 'the petition. In SS 3, 80
percent had attached their sig-
natures; in. SS 4 East, 7a par-
cent; in SS 9, 85 percent; and in
SS 4 West, 78 percent, or 92
percent including 'the signatures
of summer residents.
"One hundred percent of
those residents who, have chil-
dren of school ago are in fa-
vour," said Mrs. Path.
The report also dealt with
another report drawn up by
Inspector Kinkead and . Bur-
rows. SOS- committee members
said the inspectors' findings
were misleading as to the costs
of 'the Bayfield proposal versus
the Brumfield scheme.
