The board dealt with a considerable amount of correspondence and minor problems. The secretary reported that $4,150.00 had been received from the insurance company covering the loss of aluminum awnings that had been destroy- ed by wind early this year. Sun screens to replace the awnings have been installed and are do- ing a good job, at a cost of $4,200. The board discussed the ac- cident insurance coverage which has been offered to the students in the past and agreed to do the same this year. Ross MacRae, chairman of the transportation committee, said he will call a meeting of his committee to iron out a few problems in his department. The principal, F. E. Madill, said that five students who wanted to take occupational courses had been turned down because the classes were full. He also pointed out that over 12, 000 grant books are in use, all grades except 13, receiving free texts. Driver training will commence again in the near future. The property committee was given authority to act in re- gard to a heating problem in the south-west section of the building, in order to get the difficulty settled before cold weather sets in. Mr. Madill said that enroll- ment as of September 8th was 944, and increased 23 over last year. There are 44 full-time staff members and two part- time teachers, giving a pupil teacher ratio of 21 to 1, still high for a composite school. The board agreed to the principal's recommendation and appointed Mr. Bender a subject supervisor in geography and Mr. Anderson a major de- partment head over 10 teachers with 186 teaching periods in mathematics. John R. Taylor, reporting for the cafeteria committee, said that his group had been trying to solve some of the financial and service problems in con- nection with the cafeteria and recommended that the price of meals be raised from 30 to 35 cents. He also recommended that William Lee be added to the staff. The board concurred with his recommendations.

Geogian Bay Dist Votes for Revised Hydro Rates Hydro officials from muni- cipal utilities throughout Geor- gian Bay on Thursday approved proposals for a new power cost- ing system throughout Ontario. The 40th annual convention of District 2, Ontario Municipal Electric Association at the El- gin House, Muskoka, approved the revision without dissent. OMEA is a province -wide association of elected hydro commissioners which works closely with Ontario Hydro in directing the province's public power enterprise. The new power costing sys- tem approved by the meeting, attended by close to 300 dele- gates and their wives, evolves from a two-year study by On- tario Hydro at the request of OMEA. The proposal would mean greater uniformity in the wholesale rates at which the province's 356 municipal elec- trical utilities buy power from Hydro. District 2 is the seventh of a total of nine OMEA districts to endorse the system which fully retains the financial equities of municipal utilities in the pro- vince's hydro system. Remain- ing districts will consider the proposals in the next few days. The new system would make for closer pooling of the costs of distributing electricity and revise the method of calculat- ing debt retirement charges. If adopted by a majority of muni- cipalities it will become effec- tive January 1. OMEA president Dr. R. H, Hay, of Kingston, explained that the wholesale costs for more than 300 municipalities would likely decrease as a re- sult of the revision Where in creases in the wholesale cost of power would occur, they would be so small it is unlikely they would affect retail rates. "The individual consumer won't see any change in power costs except ;that rates will tend to be more uniform between each municipality, " he said. "Greater stability in retail power rates from year to year will also result." Other topics dealt with at the two-day meeting included sales and advertising, electric heating, safety in utility oper- ations, and pensions and insur- ance for employees. HEAD INJURIES Mary Ada Brophy of Toron- to was injured on Saturday eve- ning when the car she was driv- ing went out of control as she was turning in to park at the Wilkinson apartment building. She received cuts to her fore- head that required 2'7 stitches. She was treated at the local hospital. Damage to the late model car was estimated at $1,200. The mishap was investigated by Constable Douglas Foxton of the local force, "You're a cheat!" shouted the defense lawyer at his op- ponent. "You're a liar!" charged the other lawyer. The judge banged his gavel, "Let's proceed with thecase he said dryly, "now that the at- tourneys have been identified." BELGRAVE Saturday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Logan were Mr. and Mrs. George Bullock and Eldon of Dashwood and Jimmy Thompson of Lucan. TOMB OF ROMAN POET STANDS ABOVE GROTTO The famous Tomb of Virgil, the poet of ancient Rome, is located on the hill of Posilipo between Naples and Pozzuoli in Italy. Directly beneath this great tourist attraction is a grotto 70 feet high and 21 feet wide, which tunnels between the two communities. The ori- gin of the grotto is thought by some to pre -date the age of the Romans, but others believe it dates from the time of the emperors Augustus or Tiberius. SCANDINAVIAN BEAUTY SPOT Few trips in Scandinavia of- fer more beauty than a cruise up the Lake of Malar in Sweden. The lake runs from the port city of Stockholm northward for 81 miles and has an average breadth of 13 miles, Its islands number over 1200. The shore- line, varying from lawns to cliffs, is dotted all the way round with castles, countryseats and villas, including two royal palaces.
