[" TAKE SCHOOL VOL.XXIX, No.37 TWENTY PAGES Taking a three-year look at education in West- mount and particularly the building phase of it in relation to the possibility of construction of a new 1,200-student high school on the Westmount Athletic Grounds, officials here are doing some long range planning, The school population of Westmount is comparatively static and no great increase in numbers is anticipated in the near future.While the question of constructing the new building Next week's weather September 13 to 20 Opening mainly sunny, with cool nights, this week will give us samples of all.kinds of weather, including rains, wind aud some thunder.Some snow in the north, and frosts in the south.Stormy in the Maritimes, Vermont and eastern JQ.ebee regions.Temperature range 30-70°F, with some 40 hours of sunshine, Many years at this time we have heavy rains, almost cloudburst conditions in the south and persistent drizzle in mountain régions, with bright intervals, and some wind.Improving for a bright although cool weekend, AVERY 1 tig \u2018 frosts or mists.Hunting more encouraging.Fishing fair- \u201cloan day.Authorities pondering 3-year education plan is still two or three years away, Quebec province authorities and the Greater Montreal School Board have given their assent in principal to the plan and within the next few days the West- mount board is expected to discuss it again.With construction of the new high school, it is bethe structures, perhaps Kings school, and municipal building.Many consider the pres-: ent Stanton avenue quarters as entirely inadequate.Action on this matter is expected without too much delay as certain pressures are being put on the city to pick up such a building.lieved that three buildings.Kings school, Queens school and Argyle will possibly be offered for sale.Such\u201d an eventuality, it is held in some quarters, would offer an opportunity for the city to obtain one of By ERIC NEAL morn- - for a court * AS THE YOUNG PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION held their first meeting this year the camera caught- them at work.From left to right are, seated: Dennis Dwyer, John Henderson, Brian Gallery, Joyce McEwen.Standing: Gerry McRae, Margaret Webster, Mike Meighen, Ron MacInnis, Elizabeth Fleming.\u2014Acme-Harrison Photo Pictured at a recent meeting of the Westmount Municipal Association are from left to right: G.H.Merrill, second vice president; F.H.Ross, president and J.G.Harper, vice president.\u2014Acme-Harrison Photo Response is urged R.Steeves, superintendent and secretary-treas- urer of the School Commissioners for the Municipality of the City of Westmount, is urging all householders to complete the \u201cschool census form\u201d now in the mail, with the least possible delay, and return it, making use of the stamped, return-en- velope provided for the purpose.Annually the board is faced with the task of making a census of the total school population, of all faiths and creeds, and it is essential that all householders complete the form and return it, whether there are children in the household or not.The information asked for is required by law, Mr.Steeves points out, and the form must not be destroyed.The form, which is issued un- (Continued on Page 7) Jump from train fafal to worker af station here Police are continuing an investigation into the death at Westmount station Wednesday afternoon of Tony Ferrara, 29, of 5553 Upper Lachine road, a sweeper at Windsor Station, who apparently attempted to jump from a moving train.It is believed the victim boarded the train at Windsor Station with a group of Italian immigrants with whom he was seen conversing during the afternoon.At about 4:30 pm.a man at West- mount station noted a body rolling along the yard surface toward him.Police were called.It is considered a definite possibility that Ferrara planned to ride with the immi- grauts to Westmount station and return to Windsor Station by another train for his job which starts at 5 p.m.The first section of the train doesn\u2019t stop until it reaches Oftawa, and police feel the victim jumped as the cars were rolling through the Westmount yard.Ferrara leaves a wife and 15 months old child.x | wns week avo wot a1 emer Jack Vicior, T1, Westmount Rofarians - THIS WEEK AND NEXT AT .o ETI NS ] 3 » .\\ Unity B \" Club || buried Sund HH | \\ | | Omity boys Club |) Wed one) haar Kitimat story id N | S 1090 GREENE AVE.Jack Victor, of 411 Cote SL N ; ntoine road, died Friday at ses sn 8 .N A PROJECT OF WESTMOUNT ROTARY CLUB the Royal Victoria Hospital after At Kitimat the whole mountain is really the power rr LLL OE 7 PPD 7 PAZ 77777 77, » e s a short illness.He was 71.Fun- house for the huge Alu 2 Com y of Canada devel- By Maurice Mariasine | eral service was held Sunday at|0pment Franklin T.Matthias, assistant manager of the VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTORS NEEDED Paperman and Sons Chapel, 5605 British Columbia Project, told the Westmount Rotary i!

hearts with his waving tail and and carefree country expression.The following day he was back again and got to know the gang.Then his master drove up to Ben's Delicatessen on Burngide.This time Flip stayed in they car while his master ate inside.Then two juveniles gtole the car.They did not notice him in the back seat.But Flip made his presence known by setting up a how! when police bullets sang around the car.The thieves found time to heave Flip out about ten blocks from the delicatessen.Stranded and unnoticed in the excitement, Flip padded about Montreal for 24 hours seeking a friendlv face

out west.Mrs.Call told the Examiner that Flip is of somewhat unde- terminate origins but that the smooth haired beagle side of his ancestry predominates in his appearance.She calls him a \u201csooner hound\u201d which means he would sooner be lying down snoozing peacefully and dreaming about cats and trees rather than tangle with cops and robbers.The car's occupants both were: captured after a wild chase punctuated by 13 pistol shots.AUTOS CRASH | Two cars were damaged when a collision occurred Friday between an auto driven by Albert Haskiya, 3469 Adding- ton and a car driven by David

School Board have given the green light \u2014 are beginning to look seriously at the prospect of building a new high school on the Westmount Athletic Grounds.They are looking deeply into the problem and are finding that it may well mean the distinct possibility of some surplus school buildings.Some have gone so far as to suggest that three schools will be available for other purposes \u2014 King's School, Queen's School and Argyle.The former, situated as it is on Western avenue, cast of Victoria, is being suggested by residents as an ideal building for a police station and a new municipal court building, This would appear an excellent suggestion.Westmount is now a municipality of some 30,000 persons and considered as one of those in the top ecancmic brackets.The present police station and court setup is a disgrace.With the construction of the new high school and the freeing of King's school for other purposes \u2014 it would appear an excellent building is available.Let's not lose this opportunity.Things do not normally move too swiftly at the municipal level, this we know.But it is admitted that the new high school may not be ready for two or three years.This will THEY leave ample opportunity for the discussion of such a project as a new police station and municipal court.All the pros and cons can be carefully weighed.The present quarters are crowded.They are antiquated.They are in an area close to several churches, a synagogue and two schools.The Western avenue site appears an ideal one.Let\u2019s go get it.By the Way .A correspondent who has made a study of three-iegged races has raised the question of a three-legged race in which the two right legs or the two left legs are tied together.This will be dealt with in a special coloured supplement, with contributions by noted three-legged racers.There will also be an interview with two athletes who claim to be the champion no-legged racers, a branch of the sport in which all four legs are tied together.Mass no-legged racing, in which 40 or more entrants have all their legs tied together, is gaining in popularity.It is a sign of enterprise and initiative among tne young.AM told that, in a few I onthe time, the last handful of Montreal buses, each working to its own schedule, will agree not to accept passengers disapproved of by the driver; not to stop until they want to; not to stick to any prescribed route.In the event of fewer people using the buses, fares will be doubled, and, as a protest against further cuts in the services, the few remaining buses will finally decide not to run at all HE theft of a hat, T snatched from its owner's head by a man who disappeared in the crowded street, needs looking into.One way of disconcerting this kind of thief is to copy the :luwns, and wear a smaller nat under the larger one.Thinking the second hat to be an optical illusion the thief hesitaces, and the victim can offer vhe smaller one in exchange for the larger one.A more dignified form of protection is to have your hat filled with charcoal, which spills all over the place when the thief snatches, thus distracting his attention while you call for help.\u2014Beachcomber.SAY Dangers by being despised grow great.\u2014Edmund Burke.At the end of cloistered Weredale Square behind the busy intersection of Atwater and Dorchester streets stands an ivy-covered, six-story building called Weredale House, It looks like a boarding school.It is a kind of one, although the 166 boys who live there usually attend West- mount schools though 25 to 30 of them work.Weredale House is a home for boys whose own homes are broken or disturbed.In his 42nd year at the Home is Vernon Frederick McAdam who is more than the executive director of Were- dale House.Over the years he has been counsellor, friend, confidante to about 4,000 boys, many of whom, grown-up and successes in the world, still keep in touch with him for advice, solace or plain comradeship.Typical of his feeling for all boys in distress or trouble is the fact that Mr.McAdam never refuses a phone call no matter what time of day or night it comes.\u201cYou never know that it might be a vital one which may mean a turning point in a boy\u2019s or man's life,\u201d he said.Nor are there any set visiting hours at Weredale House.Parents or friends can call on boys there at any time.The boys are allowed to visit their homes during the weekend.\u201cWe haven't any creed or color here,\u201d said Mr.McAdam, a tall, slim, quietly friendly man of 59 who looks years \u2018younger.\u201cWe have some Jewish boys, some Roman Catholic, some French-speaking ones although the majority are Protestant.We don't try to supplant their own home but try to take its place temporarily.\u201d Only 10 per cent of the boys are orphans; 15 per cent half orphans with either mother or father dead.A small percentage are boys whose families appear te be alright but who have failed to adjust to their own homes.Broken homes The boys have been removed from their own homes because of drunkenness in the home, crime, immorality, death, sickness or instability.\u201cMost of the boys are from homes which have gradually disintegrated from instability on the part of parents,\u201d said Mr.McAdam.\u201cThey are potential delinquents because of this instability.\u201d Discipline is never a problem at Weredale House because it is essentially a heme.Half of the supervisors are boys who have grown up there, gone to McGill University and now are part of the staff.For 70 hours of work at the home per month they get their room, board and laundry while attending University.The average stay is a little over two years but many boys grow up there between the ages of 11 and 18.One boy, a half orphan, lived there 11 years, graduated in dentistry, is now enjoying a successful career and is getting married to a nurse this fall.Six brothers were reared there.All be- By CYNTHIA JONES came successes in different fields.\u201cWe gave 32 years service to that family whose father walked out, never to be seen again,\u201d said Mr.Mec- Adam.He listed doctors, lawyers, ministers, bankers, an Anglican missiqnary in the North as \u201cgraduates\u201d of Weredale House, built in 1930 with funds largely provided by Rotary and- boasts swimming pool, gymnasium, craft shops, four study rooms, two games rooms, hospital, dental room, seven dormitories, cafeteria dining room, auditorium complete with chapel.In the auditorlum is an honor roll of the Second World War bearing 328 names including 78 NCO's and 34 commissioned officers as high in rank as major in the army and squadron leader in the air force.Seventeen received honors including one OBE and five Croix de Guerres.\u201cIt is a shame that it takes a war to evaluate one's work,\u201d said Mr.McAdam.\u201cOur ratio of those receiving commissions and rank of NCO is higher than average.\u201d In summer for two months the boys move out to Were- dale Camp on Lake L'Achigan funds for which were donated by the Westmount Rotary Club in 1934.At Weredale House and Camp the environment is ideal and the staff go to work on providing a new outlook on life.New outlook Mr.McAdam himself is indirectly giving a new outlook on life to some 60,000 boys across the country.Besides his Weredale House position he is executive director of the 65 Boys' Clubs of Canada.He has been associated with them since their beginning in 1923, became executive director in 1957.\u201cWe have 12 boys' clubs in Montreal and tenders have been opened for the 13th just this week,\u201d said Mr.McAdam \u201cMR.McADAM oud of his \u2018family\u2019 \u2018proudly.\u201cIt's the Owen Dawson Boys\u2019 Club in Verdun.Our national organization encourages the establishment of Boys\u2019 Clubs in cities and centers across the land and helps citizens choose sites, in addition to helping with their staffing and program problems.For Verdun, for instance, we made a survey in 1955 and now the Club will be established in 1959.\u201d Mr.McAdam is a Mari- timer, born in St.George, New Brunswick, in 1899.In 1911 he moved to busy Amherst where he became interested in playground work.\u201cI was fortunate in meeting one of the big re- creatiopal leaders of that time, an American, John Bradford, and I knew then that 1 wanted to go into youth work,\u201d said Mr.Mc- Adam.He was 13 at the time and the plan was that on leaving high school he should enter the Anglican ministry and go to King's College.But he had to leave school
