Free Grade Xii school budget passed after angry debate Winnipeg s school Board adopted its 1940 budget totalling tuesday night establishment of free Grade 12 including provision for the classes the budget was Only approved after a Long and acrimonious full dress debate. The Stormy session was climaxed by the Board s challenging and overruling the chairman s ruling that any motion for the adoption of the budget was out of order. Money for the provision free Grade Xii could not be included in the budget until the Board had reversed its policy toward the free classes adopted last summer re Quiring a notice of motion j. K. Morton ., school Board solicitor stated. The chairman Adam Beck Igi eed with or. Morton s ruling. H. B.

S Mcewan and James Black. Hot exchanges hot exchanges featured the de Bate on free Grade Xii in which every trustee took part. The debate was precipitated when or. Mac lines moved the finance commit tee s report be received by the Board. As chairman of the com Mittee he refused to move us adoption because he opposed pro vision for the free classes which was included. The inclusion of for establishment of the classes was ill considered or. Macinnes maintained. The management commit tee s approval at its last meeting of for Grade Xii teachers salaries was a snap judgment he said. No committee has the right to make motions inconsistent with the policy of the Board. It can Only be done by notice of motion Given at a previous meeting he said. Free Grade Xii would unnecessarily cripple the University of Manitoba and other educational institutions by causing a decrease in their enrolments. It would Saddle the people of Winnipeg with additional thousands of dollars of taxation. What right have we with per sons ready and Able to pay to ask the City Council to lax the general Public when we can get the Money and Canadian Island in Britain i i boys of s Dominion Squadron introduced of the budget be deferred for an other week. Or. Stringer maintained the City could not afford the expenditure and opposed the rec classes. C. E. Knox contended the Money should be included in the budget and the attitude of the City Council directly from the persons Benefit by the service he handed. I am not concerned about or. Macinnes reference to crippling mrs. Jessie Maclyn Nan declared. "1 am concerned Only about crippling the educational opportunities of the children of we re the Bosses referring to the solicitor s ruling that inclusion of Money to provide the classes was out of order mrs. Maclennan said there is always a technicality to be found to promote or discourage any project. 1 Don t agree with the solicitor. Solicitors Don t always agree among them selves. We re the the Meyer Averbach proposed pro vision be made in the budget for the classes pending a notice of motion. In this Way he suggested the Board would nol be acting against the solicitor s ruling. The amount needed for such an important educational service was negligible w. C. Ross maintained adding the Dominion government is spending a Day for murder and j obtained. Who Andrew Bilecki said thy proposed de a expenditure was insignificant lit. Suggested another be added to the budget to extend pro vision of free milk to All under privileged children and s5.000 Lor partial restoration of salaries to school service employees. Will or. Bilecki explain to the Board that he is in the milk j business or. Macinnes asked. Trustee Ross and Smith objected. Or. Bilecki said he was manager of the people s co operative Cream Ery and that when he Beci Ime Mana Ger ii had immediately reported the fact to the Board because his company was receiving about ten per cent of the free milk business. Since that time his company had most that share the business he added. My Interi St in the matter is Only for the he said. Concluding the debate. Or. Mac lines pointed out the Board had in creased its budget by Over the 1939 budget. This had followed an increase of Over the 1038 budget can we justify any added expenditure to the City he asked. The ruling of the chair was then challenged and the votes taken. A bylaw authorizing the borrow ing of an amount up to from the sinking fund to meet current expenses was included in the budget. A previous bylaw authorized borrowing from the Bank of Montreal for the same purpose. The new bylaw will reduce the loan i ask or. Ross to take that state ment h. B.

By Francis Stevens about the Cana Dian Squadron of the Royal ail Force that have appeared in the British press have emphasized the Point that every member of the Squadron came Over Here on his own initiative to join the . They either paid their own passage or worked their Way across. Some came from two to five years ago. But the majority arrived last Winter. They were not trained As a unit but joined the old country . Separately. It was not until after War was declared that a sep Arate Squadron was made of Cana Dian fliers at the request of the Dominion government. The Squadron however does not begin to account for All canadians in the . There Are hundreds of them both in Britain and France. And they should not be confused with members of the Royal Cana Dian air Force or with the Empire training scheme. They Are representative of pre War initiative in joining the Force in England. A glance at my notes shows that f Iott cd Down three words of the remarks made by Hon. T. A. Crerar when he reviewed the Canadian Squadron somewhere in England. He congratulated them on their Fine smart appearance 1 and that s the Way they impressed All of us. After the review the Squadron marched out of the hangar and was dismissed and we started getting acquainted. Then an informal reception was held in the officers mess. Good news for the press was the announcement that for the purposes of this occasion the air ministry had waived the rules against mention i names of members of the Force in news despatches and we were free to identify All the members of the Squadron by name and Homo town. One of the first to attract my at Tention was flight lieutenant Don Ald Miller 26 years old. To comes from Saskatoon where his Mother. Mrs i. A. Miller is a teacher of household science in the Wilson Public school. In Saskatoon flight Lieut Miller was in an advertising and window dressing business with Friend he Learned to Fly m can and already had 1.300 hours m the air and a and b licenses when he joined up. He spent All his Money getting to England in 193o and had the experience of walking the streets of London dead broke on Christmas Day before entering the Force. None from Winnipeg 1 was disappointed not to find any one from Winnipeg in the Squadron. But Western Canada As a whole was Bette represented than the East. Manitoba was represented by officer John w. Graafstra 27 j s old a former Bank clerk who lived. Until he was 19 years old in Souris Man., where his parents or. And mrs. Thomas Graafstra still live. He never had been in a plane until he joined the . Here. He was Liv ing in fort William when he decided to come to England in 1935. We All milled around at the reception in the officers mess getting acquainted in a sort of hit or miss fashion it was agreeable hearing Canadian Lingo and they apparently Felt the same Way about us. It was like coming upon a Canadian Island in the midst of England and f Gath ered we were the first Canadian group to visit their base. In the general Hub bub of the conversation i overheard Lawrie audrain. Who had come by train 19 take pictures having Lively conversation with Donald Macqueen of Calgary about the Calgary Bronks and the Winnipeg Blue bombers. It sounded like old times.

So he could earn enough Money to learn to Fly. He also worked at driving buses and taxi cabs for a time. He said he regretted he had been unable to go Back to Wolseley to see his people before he came overseas a year ago. Dale f. Jones 25 years old. Of Dinsmore sask., said the members of the Squadron were itching to get their hands on hockey Sticks. He told me How he and others when training for the Force in Scotland had played occasionally on one of the scottish hockey teams. Jones a slender Sandy haired youth worked in a diesel engine electric Plant. He spent All his Sav Ings once to obtain a Pilot s License in order to join the . Only to learn later it no longer was Neces sary to have a Pilot s License to qualify for the . He said he did t regret the expenditure. I liked the Friendly face of rus , a 21-year-old lad from Jansen sask., where he was employed in a Grain elevator. An other Saskatchewan Chap i met was Henry Deacon 23 years old of in Vernay where his father is Post master. He ran the Village hard Ware store before he joined the . Last february.
