Seeking re-election to the Board

of Schoo] Trustees, is Jack Cook:

“when elected to the Board six|-

years ago it was wilh the feeling
that [I would be given the neces-
gary time to do a good job. This
I feel I have done.- You have only
to look around you to see the ef-
forts of your schoo] board with the
many fine buildings that have
been constructed during: that time
and also the’ vast improvements

ahead for future needs. This is
where continuity on the Board
must continue, I would like to
eontinue in this work, which I
enjoy very much.”

school trustee Js Dr. R. EL Lee:
“President Johnson has said that

Thia fs a yery profound | state-

‘ment and during my short tenure

as school trustee I've learned thet
the practice of this art can be
very difficult and frustrating.
Education has become very big

the responsibility of. organizing
and looking after the needs of
about 3600 children with a yearly
budget that runs over $1 million.
Operating without raising the
mill rate becomes very, very dif-
ficult. However we can. ‘build

schools without endangering the|.

Making her very first try for a

place in the public eye, Mrs, Edna
Cooper is seeking a school board
seat: “I shall answer three ques-
tions most often asked — why
are you ruboing, what are your
qualifications and what sill be

your attitude if elected? I'm run;|:
ning because I was asked to run.|-

As for qualifications, I've. lived
here a long time, I have four
children, three of whom attend
school and one pre-schooler. Orig-
inally our schools were, I feel
not up to the standard of the
province. I feel now that our
schools are up to standard. We
ARE educating our children in a
very, very good way. Good schools
mean good teachers and good
teachers benefit our children and| -
ourselves, My attitude will be a
feminine one — but after all half

‘|the parents are mothers. A ‘lot

of our pupils are girls and many
of our teachers are women and I
really feel that a woman on the
school board would be a good
thing.”

Next speaker was
Councilor L, F,

‘| who is seeking a one year term

on Council; “I FEEL there Is
something I can do. I told some
of my friends that I wouldn’t run
again — that I was tired of being
a whipping boy — and fellow
candidates — that’s just what you
will be. I feel there’s a lot more
I CAN do for you but I won't
Make any promises. I said last
year that the underpass thing was
a political football and I hope that
many of you tonight will ask some
questions on this subject later this
evening.”

Gordon Kerr, another one year
Council contender had this to say:
“My time spent with the Ratepay-
ers Association gave me an insight

into civic matters and although |*

Yll make absolutely no promises
there are two things F would like

‘to bring to your attention. One of

them is the liaison that we do
not have between our Council and
interested organizations. If elect-
ed I'd like to promote this some-

.what so that the general run of

people have a better understand-
ing of what is happening on
Council and may also make ‘them-
selves heard at Council meetings
through their organizations. The
other thing is building develop-
ment in this area. I believe that
everything we build or promote
in thls area should -be done on
a basis whereby it could he ex-
tended or expanded-or added to
without discounting the original.”

Final speaker for the evening
was Frank Heeley-who is one of
the eéntenders for a year-long
Council term: “Democracy meant
during the time of ancient Greece,
the participation of all the people,
excepting those who were: slaves.
In the American Constitution we
found that they should have a
government of the people, for the
people and by the people. In my
mind I think we are. becoming
somewhat decadent. We're taking
the ‘attitude of let's take. things
as they conie — leave it to George.
We're relegating our responsib-
