Protestant\u2019's taxes going to the Protestant School Commission and a Roman Catholic\u2019s taxes going to the Catholic School Commission.Corporations and other non-af- filiated enterprises are also situated in Westmount and as \u2018residents\u2019 they too pay taxes.These individuals, corporate and otherwise, do not have a religious affiliation; therefore these taxes are placed by the Central authority into a common fund referred to as the \u2018Neutral Panel\u2019.This fund is ordinarily then divided between the two commissions in a proportion to their representation among the population.The St.Leon de Westmount School Commission does not, and for three years, hasn't received a share of the neutral panel.The Commission lost its share of this fund three years ago by an act of the Quebec Legislature.The distinction of losing a share in the Neutral Panel is shared with three of the other nineteen Catholic School Commissions in Greater Montreal.One of the other three has since been annexed by the Montreal Catholic School Commission and has achieved a status sought by St.Leon de Westmount.Officials of the St.Leon de Westmount School Commission state that a merger with the Montreal commission is the only way to regain their rightful share of the Neutral Panel.Westmount Roman Catholics\u2019 share would amount to more than two hundred thousand dollars.the end of Fire

Executive predict an outstanding year for Home and School activities throughout the Province, because of the far-reaching new developments in the educational system now taking place.They feel that parents will want to learn about the changes being introduced and how they can help their children make the best progress under the new techniques.\u2018\u2018Home and School is a two- way

whereby only one Westmount drug outlet will remain open on Sundays.Each store will take a turn at remaining open.The open store will provide regular service from 10 a.m.until 6 in the evening.The local association of druggists note however that repeat prescriptions should be ordered during the week from your regular pharmacies.This step is another of many taken by local commercial outlets to keep down prices in the face of rising costs.This particular move was taken to prevent rising costs of professional services from affecting the cost of vital drugs.For the convenience of holiday-

INCELLI vo.GARDEN CENTRE 5803 WESTMINSTER AVE.From The Library 80,000 Volumes Moved The renovation of the Westmount Public Library is no longer news to most of our members - most of them are well aware by now that there have been some changes made during the summer.However, it seems likely that the public may not be fully aware of the extent of the changes involved in the renovation.Several times a day the librarians hear a familiar comment: \u2018(Oh my, you've changed everything!\u201d This, in fact, is very nearly true.The Library owns approximately 80,000 volumes (including the Children\u2019s collection).By the time the renovation is finally completed, and the last book in its proper place, very nearly all of those 80,000 volumes will have been moved at least once (and often more than once).The most obvious change is the switch of the Reading Room and the Reference Room, which, of course, entailed the shifting of books from both rooms.In addition, the older novels were brought out from the stack and intershelved with the newer novels in the new Reading Room, so that all the fiction is now together (excepting, as before, short story collections).The separate Canadian section has been discontinued and Canadian books are now intershelved under their appropriate catalogue number with the main collection.Changes have been taking place in the stacks as well.All the music books (scores, biographies, music theory, opera guides, etc.) have been moved from the stacks to the gallery, where they have been located in previous years.The remainder of the books numbered in the 700\u2019s (art, interior decoration, hobbies, etc.) are being moved to the lower level of the stacks, which leaves much needed room for expansion of the 800\u2019s, 900\u2019s and biographies in the upper level.We're very pleased that we can now take the popular \u2018\u2018sight- saving\u2019 books from the \u2018Closed Shelf\u201d section and place them on shelves near the catalogue, where they are far more accessible to the public.A new Reference Stack has been built under the new Reference Room, and the older, less frequently used, Reference material is being moved into this new stack.As we noted in a previous column, the entire Children\u2019s collection was rearranged while that department was closed during the summer.When everything is finished, the Library will have a new map printed and made available to the public to familiarize them with the new arrangement.ROBERT M.Tiller CONSTRUCTION COMPANY Limited 880 Selkirk St.Pte.Claire Tel.: 697-7110

MANSFIELD (Opposite Simpson's) 845-3060 Youth and responsibility Rotarians urged to face By E.C.GANNON A plea to service clubs such as Rotary to form a program of advice and consultation be made available to school drop outs and also specific help for them to find employment was advocated by Dr.J.D.Hackett of the Mental Hygiene Institute in speaking to members of the Westmount Rotary Club on the subject of \u2018\u201cYouth and Responsibility\u2019 at their regular weekly luncheon meeting held in Victoria Hall last week.Dr.Hackett who has devoted much of his time in studying the problems of present day youth suggested that service clubs ADULTS ALL AGES Bring Your Friends 334-4827 problem should have a -mental health committee at work to study the problems and with their own resources in mind, namely .a variety of experience and talent in the business community they should be seeking ways to prevent further additions to the delinquent pool.He suggested a program of advice and consultation be formulated and made available to drop outs, equivalent to a medical walk-in clinic for adolescents as already exists in some quarters, but where the focus would be on advice in finding a job, fitting into community organizations, and taking a more active interest in community affairs.The speaker further suggested that specific help be given in finding employment for the drop out and guidance regarding behavior might be made available in conjunction with community agencies and that a pilot program be established in conjunction with the Montreal Council of Social Agencies and university teaching programs such as are organized by the Montreal Mental Hygiene Institute.Dr.Hackett stated that in his contact with children he had found it worthwhile to get them used to discussing their own problems.\u2018By their participation I have learned a great deal especially that what 1 might think is a problem may not be theirs and they have often come up with some excellent ideas of their own.If we can have youth involved in resolving its problems then our responsibility will be to ensure the necessary information and resources to enable them to finish a job.Theirs is the youth and ours is the responsibility\u2019 he said.A natural point of crisis, he said, is when children leave school to join the labor market and at this time they need guidance by informed adults.\u2018Who is better informed about the community's needs and values than the members of a service club?\u201d he asked.There is sufficient evidence regarding the school drop out to note that a

our countryside at the number of level railway crossings on main, heavy-travelled highways.Our explanation is that this is a sprawling nation of few too people to afford the almost universal road-rail separation one finds in Europe, despite much progress with heavy federal subsidies for this purpose.But deaths and injuries at crossings still rank high in traffic tolls year-round.We're proud that the following idea comes from Westmount, commended to the young, energetic and imaginative minister of transport fresh from his cobweb-removing drive to make Canada's defence establishment the most modern in concept anywhere.Mr.Paul Hellyer\u2019s Department of Transport has the last word and authority over not only the railways but also the radio waves of Canada.In regulating use of the ether it maintains a service which rigorously seeks out and eradicates radio-wave interference, whatever the source - welding machines, defective transformers, youngsters making electronic experiments.Most such interference is highly localized, affecting receivers very often only within 50 or 100 yards\u2019 radius.An ever-shrinking minority of motor vehicles is without radios these days.One sees antennas on delivery trucks and even buses.Now, Mr.Hellyer, we are told by electronics people, including rank - radio amateurs, that with the simplest equipment it is one of the easiest things in the world to generate an interference noise or signal using very little power and strong enough to annoy listeners on any - 4 1 - me ES THE WESTMOUNT FA 7 ] HUGH R.MOUNT, General Manager Printed and

block.Good \u2018\u2018hams\u2019\u2019 seek to avoid this, if only for fear of your department.This idea may sound monstrous to your sleuths and prosecutors, Mr.Minister ; but it should win favor with your grade-crossing worriers: Design a small broadcast: band transmitter capable of emitting a clear, distinct signal - ideally, a simulation of the bell on crossing wigwag warnings - directionally along an intersecting road or highway for about 100 yards in both directions.The cost of such a transmitter, mass produced, should not be excessive for the electronics industry, which has managed to put high-quality transistor pocket receivers in the hands of the country\u2019s teenagers.Installed, one on every unseparated grade crossing in the country, the total cost could be well within the existing budget of grants for under- and over-passes - leaving funds for that good work to continue.Motor manufacturers rightfully boast of the insulation of their cars, silencing outside road noises.Indeed they do just that; in our climate for most of the year, crossing signals can be heard only by rolling down a window AND turning down the radio.In countless cases of ghastly, accident, neither of these essential precautions was taken.The careless, thoughtless and forgetful will always be with us, and it is for the preservation of the lives of these this idea is advanced.Countless crossing dead would have been glad to have their Beatle-beat, symphonic tone poem or the news interrupted by such designed interference momentarily, rather than permanently.public

When piles of seventy- five pounds had been collected they could be given to the war effort.The City of Westmounl was one of the first areas to achieve its objectives in a Victory Bond Subscription.The City of Westmount had the honour of having a mine sweeper named after it.H.M.C.S.West- mount was slated for service in the North Sea.Fatal traffic accidents were far more common twenty-five years ago than they are today.The year 1942 saw some nine Westmounters killed on the streets.Bulletins from Birdland Departing Geese By WINIFRED E.WILSON Have you ever had the good fortune to see a huge, light coloured V moving steadily across the sky?This is one of the grand sights of nature that takes place in Canada (or should we say above Canadian soil?) every autumn - the enormous flocks of Canada Geese flying overhead in formation, honking as they go.This formation, though not unique, is at least unusual, and helps identification.If you keep an eye on the leader, you will quite likely see it drop back and another bird take its place, for this seems to happen fairly often.The job of leader must be tiring, so that a rest is necessary.Although mid-September is early for starting, from then on throughout our autumn months thousands of Canada Geese leave their nesting grounds (some from as far north as the Arctic) and migrate over settled Canada, bound for their southern holiday resorts.We need not go to country districts to see the flocks that number many hundreds; they are frequently seen flying high over the roof-tops of our cities.A flock of 500 or so might be immediately followed by several more flocks numbering just as many birds.All have their long, black necks stretched out, and if you are blessed with binoculars at the right moment, or even if the birds are not too high, you should see what is known as the \u201cblack stockings\u2019 which show up so well against a blue sky, and the pure white throats and cheeks.MARVELLOUS SIGHT Canada Geese average about thirty-five inches in length.Their backs and wings are grey or (Continued on page 14) t ei BE a Dre J pe.
