Tony enjoys working along with adults, sharing chores like gardening. He loves sports and is a camping enthusiast. 'He is especially fond of swimming. • When. Tony can be the centre of attention he is a cheerful lad with a good sense of humor - but he is sensitive and inclined to feel rejected if left in the background.

Mr. Hicknell reviewed the work of the committee and its recom- mendations, and the report was approved by the board. To carry out Phase 1 of the report the board approved sponsoring up to eight candidates, primarily tea- chers or members of the advi- sory committee to attend this summer studies In Family Life to be held at St, Jerome's Col- lege at the University of Waterloo. Phase 2 could be considered during the 1973-74 year, with a proposal made to the board early in 1974. Mr. Hicknell indicated that the sponsorship in phase 1 would in no way bind the board. 'The purpose for sponsoring par- ticipation this year is to pro- vide people with the necessary background who could be used as resource persons in discussing this program within local, schoOl communities as to the feasibility of introducing the program into the education system. Mr. Hicknell also reported on an Ontario Traffic Conference in Toronto which he attended on March 1-3. Among some of the things he learned was that there are twice as many accidents in- volving school buses than any other bus, 'even though school buses are on the road for less time. The general feeling of the panel, he said, was that bus drivers are not experienced enough.. Mr. Hicknell spoke of two ways suggested for school crossing protection--adult guards or trained marked student ,guards. John Vintar, Superintendent of Education, said the four resolu- tions submitted by the board to the Ontario Separate School Trustees Association annaul con- ference to be held in April in Toronto were accepted, and re- ferred to the assessment com- mittee. The first resolution asks that the act respecting municipal elections be amended to extend the period for completion of the work of enumeration or that the number of enumerators be in- creased to adequately contact all resident property owners and tenants within the time period, and that the fee structure for enumerators be revised to an hourly rate pluS travelling allow- ance, rather than present name basis rate which encourages a hasty if not unsatisfactory corn- Pletien of work. The second resolution calls for the last day for filing coirmaint8 On the preliminary list of elec- tors is to_ be fixed as the day which is four weeks prior to the day of the election.
