SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTE;4IBER. 21, 1950
CAN PROCEED WITHOUT
VOTE, BOARD CLAIMS
The following is a statement by
Mr. F Willis, chairman of the Public
School Board:
The Seaforth Public School Board
would like to clarify recent reports
that steps would bo taken toward.
the erection of a new school without
reference to tho ratepayers.
The recent report was somewhat
ambiguous, the fact being that the
Board has the powers to purchase
the necessary site for the building
without reference to the ratepayers,
although the site must be favourable
to the Dept. of Education.
However to •Elate nothing definite
has been decided upon although a
number of sites are under considera-
tion.
As has been previously stated the
Board are unanimously in favour of
the erection of a new sehool and as
the following letter indicates, the
Dept. of Education concur.
"June 19, 1950.
"Mr. Malcolm McKellar, Secretary,
"Public School Board Seaforth.
"Dear Mr. McKellar,—I under-
stand that your Board is contemplat-
ing some definite programme to im-
prove your school facilities, You
will recall that at the meeting of
your Board which I attended this
term, I urged you to take definite
steps to secure improved accommod-
ations in the near future.
"Your present building has served
the town well for many years. How-
ever, it is very old, and you will find
it difficult and costly to renovate it.
The enrolment is increasing, and the
temporary room which you find it
necessary to equip for use in Septem-
ber will not be very satisfactory.
From available figures, it is assured
that you must soon find additional
acconunodation. The ratepayers of
your town would wish better heating,
lighting, ventilation, a gymnasium
auditorium, as well as improved play-
ground facilities.
T suggest that you give first con-
sideration to a school stte. It might
be well for the Board to inspect sev-
eral new schools to assist you in de-
ciding the type of school which would
be most suitable for Seaforth.
"May I assure you that I will -as-
sist you in al] possible ways.
"Yours truly, J. H. Kinkead In-
spector of Public Schools, Huron
North".
In addition to the above the Board
have on file reports from various
Engineers on the condition of the
present school and these reports ver-
ify the Board's attitude. The Board
realizes the importance of this mat-
ter, and believe that new accommoda-
tion is urgently required, however,
the intention is to do the utmost on
behalf of the ratepayers and all con-
cerned.

WILLIAM O, MORROW
The following from the Hamilton
Spectator refers to the death of W.
0. Morrow, only son of the late Mr,
and Mrs. William Morrow, of Sea -
forth. Mrs. Earl Ross of Niagara
Falls, Ont., is a sister.
William O. Morrow, 17 Balsam
Avenue, principal of the Prince of
Wales School and one of Hamilton's
best known educationists, died in the
General Hospital Thursday night, He
had been i11 for one week,
n to Hamilton n in
Mr. or • w came H o
M °ro c
1919 and during his career at eight
different public schools during that
period he had gained the respect and
warm regard of thousands of pupils
and hundreds of teachers who had
been his colleagues through the
years. News of his death brought a
spirit of profound sadness to the
Prince of Wales School.
When he came to Hamilton 31
years ago, Mr. Morrow brought with
him 10 years of experience in rural
and urban schools in the London
area. He was first manual training
teacher in Memorial School.
He remained there for seven years.
In later years he became principal of
the following schools. King Edward
School. 1926-28; Mcllwr'aith School,
1928.29; Queen Victoria School,
1929-33; Stinson Street School, 1933-
39; Lloyd George School, 1939-41;
Queen Mary School, 1941-42; Prince
of Wales School from 1942 until his
death.
His interest in education was pro-
found; it was not confined to its
wider aspects only for he took a keen
interest in the problems of individual
pupils. He was particularly noted for
his kindness to all those with whom
he was associated.
Mr. Morrow was awarded the de-
gree of bachelor of arts of Queen's
University in 1934, and that of
bachelor of pedagogy of Toronto Un-
iversity in 1936.
He was past president of the Ham-
ilton Teachers' Institute, and an ac-
tive member of the Men Teagers'
Federation and one of its local found-
ers. Ile was also a member of the On-
tario Educational Association.
Mr. Morrow was a member of
New Westminster Presbyterian
Church, and a member of Acacia
Lodge, A.F. and A.M., No. 61 G.R.C.,
for the last eight years.
Speaking !of Mr. Morrow's death
this morning, R A. Riddell, director
of elementary education said: "Mr.
Morrow was one of Hamilton's most
successful principals. He was particu-
larly`effective in adjusting school
programs to the needs of the pupils,
especially those who were having dif-
ficulty. His kindly, sympathetic man-
ner and keen understanding of child-
ren made him an outstanding educa-
tionist,"
He is survived by his wife, the
former Bertha Ann Richards; one
daughter, Jean at home; and one son,
Hugh, of Milwaukee.
Remains are resting in the Robin-
son Funeral Home for service in the
chapel on Monday at 3:30 p.m., fol-
lowed by interment in Woodland
Cemetery.
Mr. Robert Wright, 'Mr. Oliver
Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Chas Eyre,
Mrs, Wren Eyre, Miss. Robt, Mc-
Michael, and Mrs• Wm. G. Wright
attended the funeral on Monday.
communication from the public
school board stated it wished to with-
draw its request for the Tuckersmith
Survey as a school site,
Mayor Keating said he had asked
Mr, A. Y. McLean, P.U.C. Chairman,
to explain the proposed change in
street lights. The latter said a few
sample lnminair lights are being tried
out on Goderich Street, and it was
proposed to place these on Goderich
Street from the Victoria Street corn-
er to the west side of the town. They
are mounted on six-foot brackets.
He said that with the coming con-
version to 60 cycles it was suggested
by the PUC that all other street
lights should be changed to the
"Multiple" system.
In reply to a question concerning
cost he said it was estimated at
$5,000, but that about half this could
be charged to depreciation, as the
lines needed rebuilding anyway.
Reeve Sills asked if anything in the
way of fluorescent lights had been
developed for street lighting,
Councillor Close said the street
committee had been doing general
work. They had no cement.
Councillor Scoins led a lively dis-
euhtion on drainage in the southern
part of the town. The new drain in
connection with the Tuckersmith Sur-
vey had cost 3585.
Councillor Wallace Ross said the
property committee would have the
dump fixed up. Reeve Sills proposed
that the property committee obtain
a suitable flag which could be hung
in the council chamber during council
meetings. He said that last winter
when he had been in the States he
had enjoyed seeing the school child-
ren raising the flag each morning.
It was reported that sewer pipe for
the roadway in the new subdivision
on the west side has been ordered,
and it is planned to 'put one street
through as soon as possible.

ies were passed.

namely, "The Green Horns" ,and
"The Gogetters". The captains for
the Greenhorns are Beatrice Murray
and Louis Lane, and the captains for
the Go-getters are Alphonse and Al-
hihonsino Meagher. Since the Green-

theirs, Each team has composed a
song and various yells for the occa-
