Mr, Orr mentioned 'the difficul- ties he had to get the other board members at the collegiate to see his point on the matter of trans- porting rural children, He said that although it was in the agree- ment When the school kecarne "District School", that transporta- tion would be paid for jointly, but ,now (the majority of the board members being _from town) they did not see the need for getting busses close to the rural student's homes. He had tried to resign from the board because of his in- ability to get something done, but had been asked to remain. Then Bob Welsh spoke on the matter, stating that he could not see why the Township School Area Board should not have re- presentation on the G,D.C.I. Board, if the Goderich Public School' Board, and the Separate School Board in. Goderich both had representatives he said he felt there should be more repre- sentation'from the Township. • Mr, Orr said he thought the re- presentation was based on popu- lation. Chairman of the meeting, George Ginn, said he thought it would have to be taken up with the Provincial Board, and that he believed the representation was based on assessment, Reeve Deeves stated that he thought the regulations called for a representative . of the public CLINTON MEMORIAL SHOP — OPEN FRIDAY AFTERNOONS — At other times. contact Thomas Steep, phone Clinton 186W; residence, Shipley Street.

''Why should one school' always be 're- presented, while others are not?" - asked Mr. Deeves. Trwne Tebbutt, the township representative on the Clinton Dis- trict Collegiate Board spoke brief- ly, saying that, there were 12 or 13 on the CDCI Board, and that he thought that was large enough. George Ginn asked` his if the CDCI Board arranged for "double- backs" on the Clinton bus routes, and Tebbutt answered that they did if it was necessary. Howard McCullough mentioned that it was hard to get good teachers, and salaries were high, running up to $2,800. He said the board had spent $300 tin each of three Schools for insulation, and paid for eight pupil's transporta- tion to A/V/M' Hugh. Campbell Public School at RCAF Station Clinton, plus tuition at the rate of $11.50 per month per pupil. Robert Welsh said he had com- pleted 13 years on the board. He spoke of the increase in enrol- ment, and the fact that only SS 4 of the whole area was not over- crowded. He said it was time to sit down and give the whole sit- uation a good long look. There is a change coming over the edu- cation problems of the rural areas,” said Mr, Welsh, "and in the future we must not continue to expect other schools to handle our surplus. The addition to the Clinton school is nearing capacity Bayfield's two new rooms are al- ready crowded," • "It' is all a part of the problem of Canada, to meet the demands for education," Mr. Welsh went, on. He said he could foresee no decrease in teachers' salaries within the next ten years, nor that he actually wanted to see a decrease, "It is not sound think- ing," he said, "to feel that rural areas can afford• to pay less than in urban areas. Itis a big pro- blem, and without the married women coming back into the pro- fession, I don't know what we would do."

And, although you may not think of it, the facts show that you personally played a useful role in helping Canada reach its great height of prosperity during the past year. - For it is your money, together with the savings of millions of other Canadians across the country, that helps turn the wheels of our industries and our commerce. The. B of M puts your savings to work, in the form of loans and investments, so- that Canadian enterprise can have the day-to-day financing it needs to build, to employ, and to produce. Only with such financial assistance are Canadians able to enjoy the benefits of a high standard of living. Clearly, the facts behind the figures in the B of M's 1955 annual report show that the dollars you save work hard and long to secure not only your own future, but also the future of our nation... THE MONEY YOU DEPOSIT: At the end of the Bank's year, October 31, 1955, over two million Canadians had on deposit ac the B of M the sum of $2,591,326,311 -the highest year-end total on record. Although much of this money belongs to institu- tions and business firms, more than half of these deposits represent the personal savings of Canadians in every walk of life ... savings that are bringing bene- fits to you and to Canada. • THE MONEY WE LEND: The money you save at the B of M is helping to ensure our country's expansion and progress — in the form of ;, loans to Canadian farmers, i. miners, z" J, oil men, lumbermen a dnranchers; to industrial and business enterprises; to Provincial and MunicI- pal Governments; and to salaried people My bank has just completed its 138th year with resources amounting to $2,796,174,064 — the highest figure in its history. The B of M's growth is part of the growth of this community and of all Canada, and I am 'M v BRN B" proud of the part my n,,,,,,,,a,,,,,n customers have in this story of progress. in all walks of life, As of October 31, B of M loans to. tailed $1,057,444,001 — the highest in the Bank's his: tory. In untold ways, these dollars are contributing dynamically to the nnaincenance and improvement of our standard of living. THE MONEY WE INVEST: At the close of the year, the B of M had $975,361,319 invested in high-grade government bonds and other public securities which have a ready market. This money is helping to finance gov- ernment projects for the betterment of the country and the welfare of Cana- dians at large. Other securities held by the Bank — which include a diversified list of high-quality short-term indus- trial issues — bring total investments to $1,214,559,875.
