PAGE 8,WEDNESDAY,JLINE 26. 1)8-5,WIIITBY FREE PRESS On the Durham Board of Education... Whitby By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff Whitby may eleet three school trustees in November instead of the two il presently has, Ian Brown, Whitby trustee, predicted Monday night. At a meeting of the Durham Board of Education last night Trustee Linda Carder (Pickering) noted that Oshawa would be losing two trustees: one public school trustee and one separate school trustee. She asked which area would gain another trustee. Chairman Ruth Lafarga replied that it had not yet been deter- mined. After the meeting Brown, who is vice- chairman, said the number of trustees assigned to an area is based on property assessment. Since Oshawa's assessment has gone down relative to the increase in other municipalities, it will lose two trustees. Whitby, Ajax, or may get Pickering will pick up one, Brown said. 'The municipal clerks will have to fight il out," by comparing assessmen- ta. "Since Pickering already has three trustees and Whitby only has two, my guess la the nod would go 10 Whitby." The area at large out- sîde Oshawa will gain the separate achool trustee, Brown said. In a short board meeting Lafarga congratulated the Durham staff teamn for their firat-place finish in the ROM Run, a fun- draiser for the Royal Ontario Museum. Runnîng against 30 other teamas in the mixed corporate division the team of 13 men and 7 women ran, in relay, a distance of 208 miles, makîng il the teamn to run the farthest in 24 hours. The teamn, organized by Jim Russel, superin- tendent of plant to the board, included Whitby teachers, Barbara Dillon of Anderson another trustee Collegiate; John Flegg of West Lynde Public School; Bruce Church, principal at Dr. Robert Thornton; and Whitby resident Burt Clarke, who teaches at Lincoln Avenue in Ajax, The team, Durham Roadrunners, earned $1,500 for the museumn. During the aummer montha the Board of Education will meet at the caîl of the chairman, as business warrants.
