HIGHSCHOOL ATTENDANCE 96.49 PERCENT The High School Board, at their last meeting, negotiated the staff salaries on a two-year basis. In a recent survey conducted by the Ontario Secon- dary School Teachers' Federation, Schreiber school was considered excellent in all three categories explored. The January report on attendance, compiled by Principal O.B.Fasan, showed a noteworthy 96.49 percent. The schoiastic aptitude test of Ontario showed Schreiber student body results in line with the past to years were satisfactory . Alec (sordon presided for the meeting with the entire Board attending. The presence of all board members at these meetings (and it is seldom they are not), is a sure indication of their interest in school affairs since the chairman, Alec Gordon and the vice-chairman Lester McCuaig, are both conductors, Michael McGrath and Harold McParland are both engineers, leaving only the senior member of the board, Cyril Sparkes, on regular hours.

STUDY SATURDAY OPENING FOR ANGLING The Hon.A.Kelso Roberts, Minister of Lands and Forests, has announced that consideration is being given to the desirability of having seasons:on such species as smal! and largemouth bass, maskinonge and walleye open each year on a Saturday. Studies suggest that, for 'some species at least, a regular Saturday opening would be biologically sound and administratively expedient. This move would allow fishermen and tourist establishments to plan holidays and bookings well in advance. The possibility for adjustment in 1965 is being explored.
