SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, ONTARIO, JUNE 10, 1965
Changes in Tuckersmith Education
Increasing opposition' on the part of
Bayfield and west end Stanley ratepay-
ers to a proposal to erect a 16 -room
central school on the London Road to
serve all the areas of Tuckersmith and
Stanley draws attention to the prob-
lems facing school boards in attempt-
ing to implement recent legislation' deal-
ing with education.
There can be no question of the sin-
cerity of the members of the two boards
in their desire to provide the best pos-
Sible educational facilities at the low-
est possible cost: They have spent long
hours of discussion considering the
matter. As laymen, however, they must
• be guided by the advice of the spe-
cialists—in this case, representatives Of
the Department of Education.
Where the difficulty arises, perhaps;
is thatthe specialists in their recom-
mendations look to a nice big school,
of 16 or 18 rooms, as being the only
answer from their standpoint that will
'tidy up All their problems without hav-
ing looked objectively at the people and
students of the townships, and where
they live.
Have they considered, for instance,
the trends in population and the inevit-
able year-to-year increase in bus mile-
age with resulting increases in operat-
ing cost as more and more families re-
side in the established communities of
Bayfield, Brueefield, Egmondville and
• Harpurhey and 'in the areas adjoining
Hensall and Clinton.
Other departments •of government
are pressing forward with plans to
bring together for municipal purpOses
communities of similar natures which,
in the not too distant future, could re-
sult in Egmondville and Harpurhey be-
coming associated with' Seaforth in
more than •the neighborly association
that exists at the moment. In this
event, what happens to the pupils in
these, communities—many of whom al-
ready are attending the Seaforth
school? Do they continue to be driven
-a total of 14 miles a day to and from
the central school, or will their parents,
insist they be taught in the existing
school at their doorstep. This could
mean there would be empty classrooms
In" the big new school long before the
' debentures have 'been' retired.
• Nobody suggests for a moment, that
pupils in -a rural area should not be
entitled tp.„.the same standard of edu-
cation as their fellow students in the
towns and eities,•,;,This means they must
be given the dpportunity of graded
in, schools with all the facilities that a
greater concentration of pupils makes
possible.
A Macduff Ottawa ,Report
Potholes and
But in accepting this as a fact, is
there a tendency to use this 'equality
of standards' as a crutch on which to
promote a big new central school with-
out having looked objectively at alterna-
tives—alternatives that would provide
equal standards at no greater cost and
certainly at much less disruption 'to
the communities involved. Is sight be
ing lost of the changing values as es-
tablished by the department—the fact
that until very recently an eight -room
school was regarded as the desirable
objective of a community, and could
these values again change, just as read-
ily tomorrow? Is mere bigness color-
ing our thinking?
Certainly insofar as studies prepar-
ed by district Aepartmental officials are
concerned, there is little indication of
an objective survey. The fact that ap-
proximately one-third of all the pupils
in Tuckersmith reside in or adjacent
to Egmondville and Harpurhey is ig-
nored as is the possibility df these
pupils being accdmmodated in Sea -
forth. •Likewise, no consideration is
given the degree to which Hensall and
Clinton could fit into a common-sense
and economical proposal, nor to the
roles a new but smaller central ,school
at Brucefield and the existing school at
Bayfield could play. .
Perhaps underlying all the discus-
sion is concern about assessment—con-
cern that, by associating, with a town
or village, even though, as is frequently
agred, it is the common sense Eathing
to do, there would be an inequality in
the assessments of the two niunicipal-
ties. -
'
True, this is a difficulty, but, it must
be remembered that in any event, as
was revealed at a meeting in Egmond-
ville last winter, inequalities already
exist. About 40 per cent .of all the pub-
• lic school students in Tuckersmith are
located in or adjacent to Egmondville
and Harpurhey, yet the assessment 'of
this area represents but 20 per cent of
that of the township. Surely if inequal-
ities exist, they can be adjusted to pro-
vide 'a . fair basis for every ratepayer
involved.
What the citizens of the two ton -
ships will regard as most important is
that the boards in making their decision
look at the overall situation and leaven
the technical advice being pressed on
them with the knowledge they possess',
of the people and communities they
serve. Anything less would do little
to advance the interests of, the pupils
and taxpayers of today, let alone those
of tomorrow.

trouble was that Ottawa was route from SeafOrth, which was -
not ready for it. First ques- started On June 1, and which is
tions in the House were an known as Route 1, Seaforth:
swered by' Mr. Gordon .with the Robert and Thomas Scott, Wm.
explanation that there was a J. Beattie, Robert and Matthew
distinct line to be drawn be-
tween solution mining and shaft
mining. This was a good logic
as it was ba1oIitics.
Prime Minister Pearson's ex-
planation after a trip -to Regina
was slightly better, since it
held some hope that the doer
was not closed. He said noth-
ing could be done until the
Carter Royal Commission stud -
big the federal,tast structure
reported in the fall. But on
the face Of it Mr. Pearson's•
explanation was not too con-
vincing. No fundamental prin-
ciple is involved in extending
the tax concession t� a new
process of extracting minerals
from the ground.
In any event it has failed to
satisfy. Mr. Thatcher who, on
his. last 'daft to (*awe, was
complaining bitterly that no one
could expect' him to win back
,Saskatchewan for the Federal
Liberal .party so long as Mr.
Gordon stayed in the saddle. In
1963 Mr. Pearson drew a blank
in Saskatchewan with the entire
province standing , firm with
John Diefenbaker. Mr. Thatch-
er probably even more in-
terested in winning his own by-
election in Moosomin on June
30, remitting from the retire-
ment of his ex -Minister of Ag-,
rieulttite, Mr. A. H. Maedori-.
There 'is more logic than ant
pears on the surfaee in Mr,
0Ordotes,detisioti,,to avvait'llte
Carter report. No one is "sug-
gesting that the Commission
will recommend iii favor of ex-
tending a tax concession to solu-
tion sinning or against it. But
the report will take a stand on
the whole question of tax in-
centives as a means of develop-
ing industries and it is quite
on the cards that it will be un-
favorable on the grounds that
they are not only discriminatory
but ineffective.
The same consideration influ-
enced the decision to do noth-
ing about corporation, sales or
estate taxes, in the April bud-
get. In eaeh of these cases the
budget makers asked .them-
selves • whether any serious
harm reetilted 'from delaying
action to the Fall or even to
the next budget.
In• the case of -potash they

SOME WOES ON WOMEN
Th'ere is something deeply
disturbing about the attitude to-
ward life of the modern North
American woman.
Men hailen't really . changed
much, basically, • since Julius
Cesar and his boys crossed the
Rubicon. They still like to make
war and make love; they still
drink more than is good for
them; they still like playing
games better than improving
their, proPerty; they still have
some romance and illusion in
their souls; they still loathe fac-
ing up to family problems
little "talks" with their mates.
Take a modern politician,
drape him in a toga, 'and he'd
be right at home in the senate
of ancient Rome. Take a mod-
ern general, hang a suit of arm-
or and a helmet on him, stick
him on a horse, and . you
wouldn't . know him from a
Crusader of the middle 'ages.

and brilliant. Their own kids,
naturally, resprind by getting
fat and pimply, needing braces
and glasses; growing neurotic,
and failing their exams. An,
other stress.
They all want their husbands
to be a combination of Richard
Burton, J. P. Morgan, and Cas-
par Milquetoast. That's a little
rough to come by these days
so they take it out on the pool
Adam they got•out of the grab-
bag. Frustration and guilt.
Two more stresses.
They crave security'. More
and more of it. S6 they push
their men harder and harder to
build up a bluer and bigger
estate, and more and ..more in-
surance, in order that they can
join the hordes of lonely wi-
dows in Florida, sitting around
telling each other what a grand •
ehap poor Herman was before
he worked himself to death 30
years ago..
They all want to be loved and
cherished. And they spend all
their time complaining about
their health, their Children,
their husbands, and all the
things other women have' that
they don't. Who's going` to love
and cherish a walkie-talkie with
a built-in whine?
They all want. to be beauti-
ful. And they all go around
with lips pressed tight, mouth
turned down, and a big scowl.
