An eastward extension to McGill Avenue was opened to join the s:rret. called Costello's Lane run- niiigv from Upper Queen to Spring lmrk stream. A bridge. consisting of two 4 ft. corrugated culverts laid side by side and stone and clay fill was constructed to carry this new street over the stream.

Ii new street was laid out on

lane given for the purpose by Mr. 1 -' ' Taylor. This street runs '. r:hward from York Lane. It is

A scarificr. to be used in place. of the regular bulldozer blade, was made and attached by City em- ployees. and has been of great as- sistance in preparing suhgrade for paving, and for many otht-r pur- ones. The 1-iougli payloader. which was delivered in December has even now been of great help in snow removal. Also received was a new track, to replace one which had v.orn out. and the staff also made an additional sand spreader from an old rear end. complete with wheels, tires and back axle.

Trees Much work was done on the City's trees during 1951. Many

which had died, or become un. sound and dangerous, were remov. ed. As in many cases these were quite large, the removal caused much careful work to avoid dam- age to wires and nearby buildings. 7'-imminil and pruning were done where necessary as well as spray. mg, to kill destructive insects.

CANTERBURY. England - (CP) -- The Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, said in SI. broadcast: "We are all familiar with the people who are always worrying. At the opposite end are the people who do not seem to

Miss Mary Whiteside. it pupil of Frmce.Strcet School was awarded a prize of 525 by this Board for raving made the highest marks in the Province at Entrance Examin- :v:ions to Prince of Wales College in June last. At the closing exer- cises in June, the following pupils were awarded the Governor Gen- cra1's Bronze Medal:

Arlene Guindon; Queen Square School. William David Edward MacDonald: Rochforcl Sq u a r c

School, Miss Rosalia Winnifred Kane.

As usual decorations were made to the interior of the four schools dziring the summer. As intiinatcci in our report of a year ago. the steam holler in West Kent School had to be done away with, and a contract was entered into with the Rice Engineering Ltd. of Halifax, NS. for the installation of an oil burning heating system. The installation has been completed. end we are glad to say is working very satisfactorily. as is a some- ithat similar installation placed in Prince Street School a year ago. Portions of fences on the east rind west sides of West. Kent School grounds had fallen into de- cay and have been replaced. This Board paying its share. The cor- Lelline: at Prince Street Schoolwns found to be in a dangerous cori- ciition and was repaired at consid- crable expense.

Flag poles were erected on the mounds of Prince Street. West Kent. and Queen Square Schools. The Principals of the four schools have been requested to have the Union Jack raised and lowered daily in it simple ceremony during school terms when the weather is fa'.'ourable.

For the visit of Princess Eliza- le:-th and the Duke of Edinburgh. the Board provided 2000 small fines which were carried by the pupils while lining the streets. We are gziud to report that the pupil,sturn- 9:! out well for the Royal visit.

Pension Deduction

As authori7.ecl at the last meet- i”.iZ of the Legislature a .1”; deduc- tlon. but not exceeding S2100 per smium. is now being made from the supplement. of each tcaclier since last September for the City Tcachers' Pension System. This is it somewhat larger contribution than formerly. which. with a simi- lar contribution from the City as authorized. should strengthen the pension system.

The usual mechanical drawing and woodworking instruction has been carried on in West Kent School by Mr. LeBaron E. Tait 123 boys received this instruction from Prince Street school, and till from West Kent. School. Similar linstructlon was given at Queen isqusre School by Mr. John Dan- ton to 310 boys from January to June, and to 2110 boys from Sep- tember to December. As usual the hoys attending these classes are greatly interested in this branch of education.

From January to June Miss Alice Gzllmor carried on instruction in domestic science in the kitchen at ywest Kent School. Instruction

consists of both cooking and needle work for the girls of Prince street

Board Reports Increase In City School Pupils

and West Kent schools and cool- ing for the girls of Rochford square school. Needle work for the girls of the latter csrried on in that school by mem- her! of its staff. In June Miss Gilimor resigned. and the Board was fortunate in securing the ser- vites of Miss Alta. F. Prowse. B.Bc.. who has carried on the training with splendid success for girls in grades 7 and 8 of the three schools in all a total of 230 girls are be- ing given this very useful and ne- cessary instruction. The members of the staff of the l"rovincial Department. of Public Health are looking after the health of the pupils in the schools. A dental survey has been conducted in the schools by the Provincial Dental Public Health Department. This is a most worth while pro- ject. Pupils needing dental atten- tion are advised to interview their dentists. Dental education is also heing given to the pupils regard- ing the need of cars of their teeth. Instruction in music is being carried on very satisfactorily in three of the schools. but it has been impossible to secure an in- structor for this department in West. Kent School since the resig- nation of Mr. Crooks last June. During the year Mlu Frances Johnston was engaged by the Board as supervisor of art instruction in the four schools. Miss Johnston has put a great deal of energy into her work and we believe the re- suits will prove of benefit to the pupils receiving this instruction. In September in Kindergarten class was opened in West Kent School. This room was nicely fur- nlshed and provided with suitable etuiipment. Mrs. Wlllett has been placed in charge. A class number- ing 20 attend in the morning and a similar number attend in the afternoon. The members of the Board are sfill awaiting the report of Profes- sor John C. Matthews regarding an educational survey of the City for the present and for the years to come. In June Mr. Louis Campbell who has been second Vice Principal of West Kent school, and who has given long and faithful service. re- slzned and was placed on pension. Miss Helen Macxlnnon of the staff of West Kent School also resigned after long and faithful service. and was likewise placed on pension. Mr. Austin Kennedy was appointed first Vice Principal of West Kent School. in June Mr. Alan MacMillan was nouointed a member of the Board by the Government in place of Dr A.W.M. Allan. and later Mrs. slmon Paoli resigned and was re- placed by Mrs. Helen Lawlor. In June the City appointed Mr Gor- don Roper. a member of the Board in place of Maior D.L. Mathieson, resigned. Shortly after Mr. Roper resigned and was replaced by Mr. Ian Burnett. who also resigned and was replaced by Lt.-Colonel Keith M. Johnston.

CHAPTER. EIGHT. Part one

"Oho, so you were going to slip off without me. were YOU? NOW that's what I call an unneighborly trick mighty unnei-ghbor-' ly!" she accused them.

Susan flung herself imperious- ly upon cells. a thin scrawny lit- tle body in much-washed brown shorts and thin shirt. her face eager and slight. "Oh, Celia. I'm so glad!"

They were just finishing the meal when there was 5 step on the back porch and a gentle knock at the door before it swung open to admit win, handsome and well- groomed in beautifully cu; alacitl and I thin cashmere sweater.

Celia flushing to the tips of her

ears. had a swift vision of the scene as it must. appear to him: herself at one end of the table,

Rusty at the other, Susan between them.

Win looked at her swiftly. smil- ing, and then as he took in the scene, his smile stiffened a little and some of the revealing warmth went out of his eyes.

"Oh" he said, and somehow his tone sounded fiat. almost accus- in. "I seem always to be intrud- ing! I heard voices-"

Celia said swiftly, her voice not quite steady. "Intrudng? Don't. be sillyi Come in and have a cup of coffee-if you can bear to be giv- en coffee at a kitchen table."

Wln's eyes flickered just a lit- tle. so slightly that she couldn't be quite sure that she had really seen the expression. "And what makes you think I wouldn't enjoy a. cup of coffce you had made, at a kit- chen table?" he asked.

Rusty smiled and said cheerful- ly. an odd look in his eyes. "Sor- ry, Mallory but I made fee Do you mind?"

Why should 1 - so long as it's good coffee?"

"Oh, it's very good coffee" on- swered Rusty,.as Susan brought a chair and placed it beside her own and Celia, filled a cup and placed it before Win. "You see. Celia's a

pretty good cook. but she can't make decent coffee!" The woixis were innocent, but

there was. Celia told herself cras- ily. a faint edge to them. And the edge was even sharper on Wln's answer, as he said coolly. "I can't quite hclicve that anything Celia did was less than perfection!"

Rusty looked sharply at him and

then at Celia, and pursed his lips in e. slight noiseless whistle. Win. looking straight at him,

' sshad flatly. "Hasn't em. told you?" "Of course not. Win! There has-

n't been time -" Celia began breathleasly. "Told me what?" asked Rusty

politely. as though his interest was merely a matter of curiosity. "That. she": going to marry me- rlght away." said Win quietly. Rusty's eyes widened a little as they went from win to cells, and

back to the coffee he was stir- ring around in his cup. "Congratulations. Mallory. . you

are a lucky guy!"

win put an arm about cells and drew her close. "You think I don't know that?" he asked.

Rusty met his eyes and asked coolly, "Do you?" But before Win could answer. Rusty turned to Cells and said gently. "All the best Celia-you've got. it comlnzl"

"Thanks." said Cells and some- how she couldn't say anything else.

Susan stood quietly at one side of the kitchen. she did not under- stand much of this. she knew that Celia had thrown a. bombshell when she announced she was marrying Win Mallory.

Rusty turned toward the door and she cried out in alarm. 'Oh. but Rusty-our picnic! we're I0- ing fishing--and it's too late!"

Rusty stood still for a moment. then smiled down at her, his eyes affectionate and warm.

"Sure we are, pal. but I don't imagine Cells will want to so-" he began.

Susan turned to Cells in quick alarm. "But you said V01” 80!"

'Of course I'm going. I've never broken a promise to you. have I?"

Susan's small face was once more radiant. and she turned eag- erly and politely to Win. "We're gcing on a picnic. Mr. Mnllory, nnd we'd be very pleased if you
