Issj East Wawanosh. School Area Board Present Report The School Area Board is consider- ed to be the largest spending group In the Township of East Wawanesh, being formed in 1945 by araalgarriat- lug eleven School Sections under one School Board consisting of five Trus- tees of which three were to be elected for a term of two years, and two for a term of one year. On the first Board were Frank Thompson, A, D. Campbell, A. E. Nethery, W, S. Scott, and Mason Robinson, This Board together with Mr, Lawrence Taylor, have acted as Trustees since 1945, Mr.A. D. Camp- bell's term expiring December 31st., 1951. C. H. 'Wade the present Sec'y, was also appointed in 1945. The incoming Board for 3952 are Clarence Chamney, J. R, Coultes, Al- fred Nesbit, Roy Pattison and James Walsh of the 3rd. Concession a East Wawanosh, Mr. Walsh replaces Mr. A. D. Campbell who has served slim., 1945, being the last ,member of the original Board. the following have acted as Chair- man of the hoard, Prank Thompson, 1945-1946; Mason Robinson 1947-48, A. E, Nethery 1949-50. A. D. Camp- bell 1951. The Chairman for 1952 will be appointed at the inaugural meeting usually held in the third week of January. Since the formation of the School Area Board, three schools were clos- ed due to low attendance namely, Section No. 10 in 1945, Section No. 11. in 1948, Section No. 8 in 1951. Section No, 10 (Known as McGowan's) was reopened Nov. 12th., 1951 with an en- rolment of 15 pupils. Section No. S closed November 1951, had an average attendance of less than four prior to closing, The Board have provided transportation for these pupils to Union Section No .7 where they will be under the capable guidance of Miss Jefferson. At present the Board is operating 10 classrooms with 239 pupils on the rolls, The lowest average attendance being 15 at Section No. 10. The high- est average attendance being 35 at Section Union No. 17. Expenditures tor 1945 were $21,269- 84; Expenditures for 1950, were $30- 252.83; expenditures for 1951, were $33,858.61, (estimated) Local Taxation 1945, was $11,509.36; Government Grant, $10,892.44. Local Taxation 1951 was $21,000.00, Government Grant $15,117.75 (estimated.) It Is the inten- tion of the present Board to cover all Schools with insurance by the end of the present year at a value of $53,100.; Including contents. Through enquiries we have learned that it would cost between $13,000.00 to $15,000.00 to build a modern one room school at present prices. All operating schools are equipped with electricity except Section No. 10 recently reopened and plans are being made to have this school wired for electricity also, The Board believes that they have one of the best staffs of teachers to be found anywhere. All are capable of their responsibilities, the welfare and guidance of their charges for seven hours every school day. The average monthly salary of the teach- er is gross $230.00, less deductions for Stmerannuatien $13.80 and less dedue- ions for Income Tax $20,55, making a total of $$4.35 and leaving a net of $195.65,1ess Teachers Federation Fees deducted in November $8,00, take home pay for the teachers in Novem- ber 1951 was $187.65. In ten months of the school year the teachers will have an average of $205.50 deducted from their salaries for Income Tax purposes, and remit- ted to the Income Tax office by the Board, If the teacher is a lady who can resist long enough the persuas- ion of mere man who believes she would make a perfect housewife, her superannuation may be recovered, One of the unsolved problems fac- ing the Board is the overcrowded school at Belgrave which has an en- rolment of 55 pupils for a one room school. Temporary accommodation has been provided in another small building for 20 of the younger pupils but this has proved unsatisfactory due to the lack of sanitary and play ground facilities, This seems to be the sixty-foul dairr eauestion con- fronting the school board for the past two years. At today's inflated build- ing costs it would be a staggering jump in the tax rates to build a new two room school, it is estimated that it would cost $25,000.00. However this is a problem for some future Board to- solve. United Church W.M.S. Elect Officers For 1952 A foreground of lighted red tapers made an attractive setting for the Christmas meeting of the Woman's Missionary Society in Wingham Unit- ed Church. Continuing the study of Canadian Missions, the meeting took the form of a Canadian Friendship Carol Service, under the leadership of Mrs. A. J. Fox. She was assisted by Mrs. Wm. Field, Mrs. R. R Hobden, Mrs F. R. Howson, Mrs. Geo. Ross, Mrs L Hingston and Mrs. W. J. Adams, each representing a country from which has come a well-known Christmas Carol. These carols were all sung, led by a choir of W.M.S. members. In our own land this Christmas, Canadians of many creeds and tongues will join in the singing to the praise of the Babe of 'Bethle- hem .In United Churches, carols will be sung in 19 different languages, Mrs. Geo. Ross gave an interesting account of the origin of Christmas customs, referring particularly to the Christmas tree, the Christmas card and the Christmas stocking. Mrs. B. Cruickshank and Mrs. H. Carmichael were appointed to make arrangements for sending remembrances to the sick at Christmas, this to be done at the church, on Friday, Dec. 21, and all members were asked to help. The report of the nominating com- mittee was presented by Mrs. Field, and officers were elected for 1952: Hon. Fres., Mrs. L. Hiseler; Presi- dent, Mrs. Roulston; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. G. N. Underwood, Mrs. E. Lewis, Mrs. W. J. Brown; Secretary, Mrs. Lloyd Hingston; Corres. Sec., Mrs. B. Cruikshank; Treasurer, Mrs W. Van- Wyck; Sec, of Christian Stewardship, Mrs. Wm.
