Hon. Ray Williston, Minister of
Edueation, opened his talk by saying
that the biggest problem facing the
Department of Education is the fact
the we parents have learned about
the birds and bees as well as anyone
could and the result is overcrowding.

He quoted figures showing 14,000
more pupils entering schools and 454
more classrooms a year. The build-
ing program from 1947 to 1953 was
$66 million, but in the last 16 months
$38 million has been spent on new
Behools.

Mrs. Pomeroy reported that Mrs.
Fred Graham, president of the local
group had been named sixth vice-
President in the new slate of officers,
the first time a Williams Lake mem-
ber has been named to the board.
