Even though Superintendent of Business Affairs Roy B. Dun- lop estimated it could cost the board of education a minimum of $12, 000 or a maximum of $24, 000 to collect taxes on these dates as opposed to May 17 and November 8, the board members agreed by recorded vote - seven votes to six - to collect taxes June 30 and Dec- ember 15. Those in facor of the May 17 and November 8 dates were Mrs. J.W. Wallace, Garnet Hicks, Dr. A. B. Deathe, John Taylor, James Taylor and Nits. Warren Zinn. Those who voted for the later dates were John Henderson, Dr. Alex Addison, Don Mc- Donald, Clarence McDonald, Alex Corrigan, Mrs. Marilyn Kunder and Wilfred Shortreed. It was Dr. Deathe who asked for the recorded vote. "I would like to represent the taxpayers to the best of my ability while I am on this board, " stated Dr. Deathe. "There is no way I'm going to throw away $24, 000." "You wouldn't be throwing it away, " retorted Dr, Addison. "The same ratepayers are in- volved and what is lost in one place will be gained in another. "There is no reason for us to be inefficient, " continued Dr. Deathe, "just because the mun- icipalities collect taxes on those dates. Let them change their collection dates. I under- stand there is some chance that all municipalities in Ontario will go to four times a year collections in the future."

Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER Cars are often stolen simply to get at the valuables inside. Better lock them in the trunk, out of sight. If your engine suddenly develops a clicking noise, chances are a valve lifter is sticking. Minor matter if repaired right away. Just as much a menace as the drunk driver is the "two -beer, feelin'-good" driver, who loses just enough inhibition to proceed with reckless abandon. Last year, seat belts were available to 4 out of every 5 car passengers. Less than half used them. Remember that posted speed limits are for ideal dry pavement and good visibility conditions only.
