Mrs. Horton called on
the. minutes, the Rev. G.
L. Royal invited the
group to enter the church
sanctuary where he
spoke on the church
windows.
Mr. Royal stated that
there is much symbolism
used in churches, and told
of the reason for the way
some churches are built,
and vestments worn by
ministers and priests. He
said the Bible talks of
"going upIo the house of
God" so many churches
have steps leading up to
the body of the church..
The windows in the
churches were known as
"lights", the means by
which light came into the
building. Since many
people were illiterate
they used to rely on the
priests to' present the
Bible by stories and
pictures.
Many very old chur-
ches in the world have
stained glass pictured
windows.
All windows in Knox
Church • were presented
by donors. Of stained
glass each tells a story to
those who study them.
Some of the windows
might be entitled "The
Advent Window", "The
Nazareth Window", "The
Resurrection Window",
etc.
The beautiful large
window in ' the chancel
depicts the verse
"Behold; 1 -stand -at -the..
door and,knock".

Mr. Rowland explained
the guidelines had come
mainly from' the ministry
of labour and the Fire
Marshall's office.

like to see the 19 schools
completed, "I'd like to

recommendations and
specifications for a

action.
Trustee -Tim .McDon-
nell asked if the trustees
and staff could not do the
testing and save a great
deal of money. • The
director of education said
it would save money but
said "We are not expert
in these matters."
It was estimated that to
de the three schools -
spray paint the , tiles to
seal in the asl 'estos fibres
would cost $11,500.
Mr. Rowland explained
that spray painting° the
tile with Latex would
destroy the acoustic and
the fire retardant
properties of the tiles and
wemay then lose our fire
rating." The Fire Mar-
shall's office would..have.
. to check any spray
