[" J WF We Say Suburb police needs ONLY effect thus far in West- mount of the creation New Year's Day of the Montreal Urban Community Police Department has been a diplomatic assurance from the acting chief, QPP Director Maurice St.Pierre, to our own Director Edward Harper that he should carry on and simply advise Mr.St.Pierre of any extraordinary problems, of which there have been none.None save the inevitable problems of uncertainty hanging over the local force _ resulting from the cart-before- horse inauguration of the new metropolitan force, whereby \u2018integration\u2019 took place first and now planning is to follow.The situation is at least consistent, in a perverse sort of way.-It is like the \u2018\u2018shared\u201d costs of island policing, whereby the suburbs are called upon to subsidize the City of Montreal department's excessive expenses over the past two years.This, of course, is the main thrust of the submission which our Mayor Paul Ouimet and his suburban colleagues have been working tirelessly this week to prepare for the Quebec Municipal Commissien.While the focus has been on the economic impact, on local taxation and on the serious prejudice which the police- dominated MUC budget would work on the suburbs, the practical effect of integration Should be weighed seriously, In re final framing of the provincial legislation bringing the MUC force into being, there is an even more serious prejudice done not only to the Fe burbs but to the City of Montreal.It should be borne clearly in mind by every citizen of the island, by every elected and appointed official, by the Continued on page four Making not just your house but all of Westmount your home Vol.XLIV, No.2 Westmount 215, P.Q., Thursday, January 13, 1972 NEW SCHOOL BOARD: Here, just before

Adventist Church for $50,000.The Seventh Day Aventist and Presbyterian congregations have been sharing the big church since Dec.20, when the sale took place.The Presbyterians have been holding their services in the hall of the church, which is at Victoria and Westmount avenues.Rev.Scarth Macdonell of the Presbyterian congregation said membership in the once fashionable church had been nt fo many years and the building had become too large for the necls of the congregation.\u201cIt was just inefficient,\u201d he said.He added that the congregation had not yet decided what to do in the future.Stanley Presbyterian Church first opened its doors in the autumn of 1914 after moving from Stanley street in Montreal, where the church was first established in 1874.The congregation moved to

the church who did not have a membership in it.He said the congregation remained at the de Maisonneuve church during its entire 50-year life-span.He added that the congregation operates a welfare

he has his hands full with his own Provincials and undoubtedly will be glad to hand the responsibility to the permanent chief, whoever that may be.The untimely death last week of Town of Mount Royal Police Director Walter Boyle removed an eminently suitable can- didate\u2014broadly experienced in both the City of Montreal, which provides the main component of the new force, and in one of the more prominent suburbs.Furthermore, he served on the commission which, however it was rushed in its mandate, led to the new force's creation.Main hope for rational development of the MUC Police structure rests with Judge Jacques Coderre, chairman of the new MUC Security Council.While few plans can become known until the new chief is named by the council and confirmed by Quebec, it is reasonable to expect that the main lines of organization will follow the broad outline laid down in the commission report which bears Judge Coderre's name.Those lines are fairly widely known.However, it might be useful to look at them again, specially those features which attracted Westmount\u2019s attention as begging amendment.Westmount saw the department responsible to the MUC council and as a new force apart from the City of Montreal, its main line of responsibility resting in regional police functions, including identification and criminal records, urban criminal and subversive intelligence, uniform forms, correspondence and reports, an information centre, training, riot control, a central narcotics bureau, streamlined communications, bomb disposal, air and water patrol and, as a separate division, traffic contro! promoting standards thoughout the community.Observations on the Coderre report itself, no less valid now than when made a year ago, warned that the rushed deadline for the report should have cautioned against basing legislation upon it: the complexities of pensions and the then $50-million actuarial deficit in the Montreal police pension fund was a prominent and unresolved problem and still remains, for example.Westmount felt that the report did not appear to give serious consideration to the possibility of co-ordination or partial integration.The reasons given for total integration were equally valid in support of less complete unifying.Normal patrol duties and traffic control by uniformed forces present themselves still as best left to local control to meet extraordinary local conditions.By-law 26 of the MUC early last year, calling for total integration} \u2018was \u2018opposed by Westmount - because it both went beyond the Coderre recommendations and was Hon.C.M.Drury sa YS eee Thoughts The traditional stock-taking which we are inclined to do around this time of year causes me to reminisce a little bit about some recent events associated with parliamentary and governmental activity.2 HE \u201cill-considered, unsatisfactory and premature.\u201d Those words sound just as fresh and accurate a year later.Finally, insufficient weight was given to the findings of the inquiry into the Montreal police strike in late 1969 or the findings of the Prevost Commission, questions of police being but one aspect of the larger issue of the administration of justice.Since the planning of the new force is to follow integration, Westmount and the other suburbs would do well to press now for a voice in that plan- ning\u2014by both our civil authorities and by our professional police.It will be a great folly if organizational work is done without benefit of the special knowledge which suburban experience can offer and which the MUC Police, taking in vast suburban areas, will need.What we don\u2019t need over the island is a mere extension of Montreal Police practices; still less do we need an extension over the whole metropolitan area of the undue voice of influence in police administration of the Montreal Policemen\u2019s Brotherhood and its officers.Hanging over all suburban officers is the threat of \u2018\u2018reclassification.\u201d\u201d Undoubtedly, there are numerous instances where standards applied to hiring and promotion of suburban policemen are undesirable, and corrections will have to be made.But one of the earliest assurances which should be made to all existing personnel is that all men, of whatever rank, will be fairly dealt with: that there are clear avenues of genuine appeal open to them, and widest possible provision will be made for special cases so that police careers are not wrecked on the altars of uniformity, privilege or advantaged position.There is a strong case for looking carefully at the norms for manpower and the ratios of officers to men in specific areas.There will be suggestions that some municipalities\u2014Westmount is an obvious target\u2014are \u2018\u2018over- policed.\u201d Before such a charge is made to stick, and action taken to reduce manpower and facilites here or elsewhere, there should be better yardsticks found than simply saying we have more police here than somewhere else.After all, the professed object of the whole exercise of integration is to raise - police standards - throughout the Montreal Urban Community, not to reduce them in any way in any area.on 1971 The work program of the third session of the 28th Parliament is finally over.The total number of sitting days makes it the third longest on recent record.(The longest was the first session of the 27th Parliament, back in 1966- 67.) The committees of the House were hard-pressed to keep up with the continuous instroduction of new bills before Parliament.But through it all, they made many significant contributions to the legislation.Legislation list With the help of the committees, Parliment took effective action on a great many pieces of legislation such as the establishment of the Canada Development Corporation, the Clean Air Act, the tax reform bill, Government Organization Act, and important amendments to the unemployment insurance regulations.However, progress through the House of certain bills such as the prairie grain stabilization bill and the proposal to pass an independent act governing the auditor-general were not quite so easy and, therefore, the bills were subsequently withdrawn from the House.A perfect parliamentary record would not necessarily be a healthy sign given that the parliamentary system derives its strength from the hierarchical relationship between the legislature and the executive.It would therefore be unfortunate and indeed regrettable if the roles of the House and the cabinet were confused or reversed, so as to allow the executive to pass into law any piece of legislation.So while no government likes to see its legislative initiatives stymied, it is a measure of the stability of our decision-making apparatus that the countervailing forces at work have been neither too strong to impede satisfactory progress, nor too weak to allow the passage of legislation at the discretion of the executive.The past year will also be remembered for the publications of confidential documents.This is a technique which some people employ to influence certain policy decisions.But what it usually does is cause confusion and turmoil which can only be corrected by postponing all decisions until the dust has settled and heads have cooled, thereby causing a delay which, at best, will frustrate the needs of the very people whom the so- called \u2018\u201c\u2018leakers\u2019\u201d had hoped to assist.Victoria landmark During the course of this past year, the federal and provincial governments achieved more success than ever before in isolating the contentions points which have plagued Canada\u2019s constitutional disagreements.The Victoria charter very nearly achieved the historical significance of a great landmark; and even though it failed to receive unanimous approval, it is to be hoped that the spirit of cooperation in addition to the successful refinement of the dpposing demands will as§i$t us, ih reaching a comprehensivé and \u2018 satisfactory agreement before ong.Thirty-five Years Ago January 15, 1937 \u201cMayor John Jenkins and three aldermen, Douglas Lorimer, George S.Currie and B.Panet Raymond, were returned to the Westmount City Council Monday for another two-year term, and W.B.Scott, KC, and C.Kirkland McLeod, were acclaimed to Council to fill the vacancies created by the retirement of Ald.Col.C.B.Price and Ald.Maj.J.Colin Kemp.\u201cWestmount was the first of Montreal's island municipalities to hold its civic election in 1937;

Westmount Examiner, Thursday.January 3, 3972 - 7 Board blocks Quebec data on exceptional children Evaluation tests ready for French at Roslyn Westmount School Board Monday night denounced instructions from Quebec's department of education and requested the principals of the city\u2019s three Protestant schools not to fill out parts of forms distributed by the department.Said the resolution passed by the board: \u2018\u2018The board requests the principals of Roslyn School, Westmount Park School and Westmount High School to instruct the teachers in these schools not to complete block 6 \u201cExceptional Children\u201d of the student statistical file form of the department of education without the express prior approval of the board.\u201d The commissioners felt that the information, dealing with a child's mental capacity and ability to function, demanded great skill and training on the part of the person assessing the child and that teachers were not qualified to fill out the forms.It was also felt that the information which would be computerized and sent to Quebec without the parents having an opportunity fo see it, may pigeonhole a child for the rest of his life.Said the resolution: \u2018\u2018This board further requests the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal and the department of education to review its requirements for this type of information with a view to providing clear, objective tests for its collection and proper individual safeguards for its retention.\u201cWhereas this recognizes the need.for information retention and collection; whereas this board also recognizes the danger of human error in its collection and retention; whereas no safeguards are provided by regulation 7; whereas block 6 of the student\u2019s statistical file requires value judgments; whereas this board feels the questions required are inappropriate in this context and that retention of such information my not be desirable for the individual, the board has requested the principals of the schools under its jurisdiction to ask teachers not to fill in the block 6.\u201d Playing field rental charges at issue again The running sore of the Westmount School Board's rental of the playing field behind Westmount High School broke out in the open at Monday nights board meeting as a letter describing the cost of renting the field was read.Commissioner Mrs.Joan Roth- man said she understood that the school was not to pay for rental of the field until further negotiations were conducted.Commissioner Iain Gow said that the board had felt that the city\u2019s charging of rent for the field was a breach of an \u2018\u2018understanding\u2019 the board had with the city and that the city was not charged when it used school property.Commissioner James Robb said there was a need to define \u2018the relationship and he would \u2018contact Ald.iam Wood who, he said, was very interested in the question w he was- b chairman.the.school board.board Goodwin and Robb sworn in Westmount's two new school commissioners, James Robb and Harvey Goodwin, took the oath of office at Monday night's board meeting and quickly added their voices to the lengthy board discussions.Mr.Robb, lawyer, 9 Renfrew avenue, has been involved in Roslyn School educational matters for some years while Mr.Goodwin.aluminum company executive, 572 Victoria avenue, was board chairman of the St.George's School on The Boulevard, a private institution.Questionnaire Is questioned by school board The Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal intends to send out questionnaires to parents of pupils in the French kindergarten at Westmount Park School in an attempt to work out programs based on their wishes.A draft questionnaire was distributed at Monday night's Westmount School Board meeting for discussion and recommendation by the city\u2019s school commissioners.Because of numbers, said District surperintendent R.T.B.Fairbair:, it is not possible to offer both French and English streams at Westmount Park School such as occurs at Roslyn School.He said four possibilities would be presented to the parents of children in Westmount Park\u2019s French kindergarten: (1) Twenty-five to 30 percent French instruction in grade one at Westmount Park School, (2) French immersion at Roslyn School, (3) Attendance at a French Protestant School, (4) Attendance at a French Catholic school.Mr.Fairbairn said the board expected that few parents would opt for Roslyn school but added that it might be begging problems by raising the possibility.Commissioner lain Gow cautioned the board about raising hopes which could not be fulfilled.Attendance at Dialogue is urged Commissioner Mrs.Joan Roth- man, at Monday night's school board meeting, urged her fellow commissioners to attend a coming \u2018\u2018Dialogue 28\u2019 meeting in Westmount High School.She described the \u201cDialogue 28\u201d association as a voluntary group of French Catholic and English Protestant parents who meet together to work out educational philosophies and attempt to show that English and French people can work together.\u201cI think we should turn ug,\u201d she said.Bill 291 may effect Bill 28 Education Minister Guy St.Pierre may attempt to use Bill 291, a bill concerning the methods of raising school taxes off the Island of Montreal, to implement some of the aims of Bill 28, the purpose of which is to restructure the island\u2019s school system.That was one point made by Dr.Elton Pounder, retired chairman of the Westmount School Board who, at Monday night's school board meeting, reported on a meeting between Mr.St.Pierre and representatives of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal on Friday afternoon.Dr.Pounder said that former Commissioner Reid Tilley was not able to attend the meeting so he himself attended in order that he could report back to the local board.He said the minister was \u201cflying a trial ballon\u201d and obtaining the reaction of the island\u2019s larger boards on his ideas before going ahead.Dr.Pounder said that the minister's proposed additions to Bill 291 would have the effect of the tax reforms of Bill 28 and achieve uniformity of taxation.Advisory committee The minister also threw out the idea of setting up an advisory committee, either by order-in- council or by voluntary means, to serve the same function as the island council which was described in Bill 28.Some of its responsibilities would include special aid to underpriviledged schools, a building plan, adult education, expansion of vocational training and second- language teaching.After the minister obtains the reactions of the larger boards he intends to draft a position paper which may be sent out in a few weeks, reported Dr.Pounder.Commissioner James Robb in the short discussion which followed the report described the minister's actions as \u2018\u2018a way of getting on with the job.\u201d Dr.Pounder said the reaction of the PSBGM representatives to the minister's suggestion was favorable.Regulation 7 rules on study irk local board Some Westmount school commissioners at Monday night's meeting expressed dissatisfaction with regulation seven of the department of education on the organization of studies.The regulation was spelled out in the department of education\u2019s official bulletin and should come into force by September 1972.Commissioner lain Gow said the regulation which dealt with how much time students spent on studies was not in the spirit of regulation one, which encourages freedom and flexibility in teaching.Discussion on the regulation was tabled until the next meetin, as not all the commissioners ha the official bulletin, - - Evaluation tests for Roslyn School students in the French immersion program have been developed and are available to teachers.That is one point in the report of the Frenc program co- PSBGM seeking more French teaching data Westmount School Board has received a reply from the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal to a letter recommending courses in teaching French as a second language be established without delay.The PSBGM requested more specific information so that it could be referred to the appropriate committee.Commissioner Mrs.Joan Roth- man said that she understood that the PSBGM had asked McGill University to train teachers to teach French but that McGill wasn't that interested.Chairman Dr.Stänley French said that it was the government's policy to have French universities train teachers in how to teach French as a second language.The commissioners decided to pass the letter to the board's French committee so that a detailed answer could be framed.Student thanks moved by Robb Commissioner James Robb at Monday night's school board meeting moved a vote of thanks to Westmount High Students after District Superintent R.T.B.Fairbairn outlined some of the extracurricular activities of the students.Mr.Fairbairn said that the students had sold Christmas trees in a campaign against YAWS, a disfiguring disease, and had repaired toys for needy children.Goodwin ordinating (parity) committee which was discussed at Monday night's board meeting.The report also stated that two consultants are available for immersion French teachers, that a liaison has been established with the learning centre of the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital and discussions are underway with the Westmount Health Committee to attempt to determine whether the immersion program has created problems for youngsters.The report also says that attempts ve been made to establish a liaison between French and English teachers at the school and that meetings between teachers and parents and the sending out of a principal\u2019s letter have explained the immersion program, warning of its limitations and high expectations.Royal Vale kids\u2019 integration at WHS backed The Westmount School Board at Monday night's meeting voted to \u201cstrongly endorse\u2019 District Superintendent R.T.B.Fair- bairn\u2019s proposal concerning integration of students now attending French immersion in grade 7 at Royal Vale School into the Westmount High School rogram and urged its approval y the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal.At the previous school board meeting, Mr.Fairbairn had said that after consultations with Westmount High Principal Noel Hamilton and, the head of the school\u2019s French department Dr.Helene Saly, it had been decided to make available a package offering of French classes.However, should there be less than 29 students desiring to take the course, it might be impossible to implement the classes which would include French language and literature, history, typing, geography and business French.seeks education plan Newly installed Commissioner Harvey S.Goodwin at Monday night\u2019s board meeting brought up his idea of creating a committee to look at the overall state of education in Westmount and plan for the future.He brought up the idea, one of his election planks, during discussion on the value of the board\u2019s present committees and it was greeted with mixed reactions.Commissioner Iain Gow said, although the philosophy of the board was changing from an emphasis on reaction to one of innovation, it was first necessary to obtain the wishes of the community.\u201cYou can\u2019t establish objectives in isolation,\u201d he said.Chairman Dr.Stanley French asked the secretary-treasurer to give to the two new commissioners the original agreement the local board made with the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal and a copy of Reid Tilley's history of the board, both of which, he said, would help explain the board\u2019s functions.Mr.Gow said that the board had decided to discuss priorities and that out of those discussions may come new committees.Mr.Goodwin said he had read the PSBGM's social values report and that he was highly impressed.\u201cWe have to have an education committee which looks beyond today,\u201d he said.\u2018This is the type of thing we should be involved in,\u201d Open house Westmount Park School will be
