In September, 1955, our school $or the mentally retarded had 16 students enrolled. Ten years later, this number had Ttisen to 80, thirty more than the Kins men New Dawn School was deâ€" signed for. The extra 30 have been accommodated by turning the kitchen and the teacher‘s room into classrooms, and holdâ€" ing an extra class in Prueter Public School. figure, 3 are educatable, either in the opportunity classes of the Public and Separate School Sy. stems, or in special schools operâ€" ated by the Education Authority for the Mentally Retarded. Four of the 30 are trained through the special teaching techniques used _ at â€" special schools like the Kinsmen New Dawn School. It is estimated that in April, 1967, there will be over 100 children in the Twin Cities and surrounding area requiring this special teaching and training. This figure is the number of known retarded children in the area. No allowance has been made for those we do not know about or any that might move into the area in the future. I is a generally accepted fact that 30 out of every 1,000 ehildren born in Canada will be, or will become, mentally retardâ€" It is interesting to note that the ratio of children attending Kinsmen New Dawn School from Kitchener and Waterloo is very close to the ratio of population, namely 3â€"1. If can be expected E. W. Baker, president of the Waterloo Siskins Junior "B" Hockey club approached council for a loan of $4,000 to enable the club to clear up outstanding debts. a fair comparison to consider the 1965 operation of the Waterâ€" loo Band. Figures show that they received a grant of $3,000 and a grantâ€"inâ€"aid of $3,500. One might consider the comparison of these two organizations as illogical in light of audience atâ€" tendance. We would point out that with a grant of $6,500 the Siskins could increase the atâ€" tendance considerably by the reâ€" moval of the admission charge. The point we would bring out is that, as far back as we can find, not one cent has been paid by the Waterloo Siskins in salâ€" aries or wages to coaches, manâ€" in the construction of a second Brian Houston aquainted counâ€" eil with these facts. Mr. Baker noted, in a written brief, that, our immediate probâ€" lem is our indebtedness in the amount of $4,000. We are conâ€" fident that we can clear â€"this debt, given time. However, we do need time and our creditors in the Kâ€"W area have éxtended their patience to the uttermost limit. $ When considering this request, 1 is logical to consider assist. ance given to other organizaâ€" tions.

The govern ment will make a grant of $75,â€" 000 this leaves a further $75,000 to be raised locally. Set Aside: The Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Asso. chation for Retarded Children and the Kâ€"W Kinsmen Club have set aside $25,000 for this purâ€" pose in their building accounts, which leaves a further $50,000 to be raised. It is our purpose to solicit financial support from taxes levied for the purpose of education by the councils of Kitchener and Waterloo, to the extent of $30,000 divided on a per capita basis. This would mean $22,500 from â€" Kitchener and $7,500 from Waterloo. The remaining $20,000 will be raisâ€" ed by the association and the Kinsmen. ed children, to accommodate 5 students. The intention is to build a new school to be called the "H. L McQaurrie Memorial chener. Architects plans have been submitted to the Dept. of Education and have been ap proved by them. The school will qualify for a provincial grant of 50 per cezt of the cost of conâ€" He also noted that, the expanâ€" sion of the National Hockey League has created a much brighter picture for those boys coming up the hockey ladder. We, who share a keen interest in the game, feel obligated to do everything possible to mainâ€" tain the highest calibre of hocâ€" key we can for these boys. It is not unusual for a hockey club, that its fortunes reach its high and low points. We chave experienced the good and the bad and at present find ourâ€" selves in financial difficulty. We believe we have the answers, Next season will show an enâ€" tirely new constructive approach to our problems which are far from insurmountable. The total sum to be raised by the association and the Kingâ€" men will amount to $45,000. We do not ask for permanent support, but we urgently need financial assistance now. The request will be considered by the budget committee. direct proportion to the increase of population. _ Imperative: I# is imperative, therefore, that we start immediately to On the basis of the above calâ€" culations the cost of the Twin Cities for this special school will be $3.50 per square foot. We be. lieve you will agree this is a Earlier in the report, Mr. Bakâ€" er noted that in the 26 years they have operated under the name "Siskins‘‘, they had won the Allâ€"Ontario Championship no less than six times, five of these in the last 11 years. This is a record envied by every one of the approximately 35 Jr. B clubs in Ontario and by every city #epâ€" resented by these clubs. agers or _execulive members. Notwithstanding the honours this hockey club has brought to the city of Waterloo, once again, as far as records go, the club has never before sought financial support from the city.
