OTTAWA, Ontario, May T.
The Canadian government re-
acted with clamness and COM
posure today to the action Of the
! American House Of Representa-
tives yesterday in approving
legislation for United States
participation with Canada in
construction of the st. Lawrence
SeaWay.
Prime Minister Louis st. Lau-
rent read a carefully prepared
statement to the House of Com
mons at $50 o'clock last night
which neither welcomed nor re-
gretted the increased likelihood
that the seaway will be built as
a Joint Canadian-American
project. -...-..
"The undertaking of the Ca
madam government, in 1851, to
construct the whole seaWay was
given parliamentary sanction
when the st. Lawrence SeaWay
Authority Act was passed." he
said.
The governments position
has not changed since then and
we are still prepared to under
take alone the construction OF
the seaway.
However, as I stated in my
memorandum of January 9,
1858. to the Ambassador of the
United States in Canada, the
government was and it still is
willing to discuss any specific
proposal the United States Gov
ernment might wish to put for
ward"
Recalls Conditions.
Mr.. St. Laurent explained that
his memo to the then Ambassa-
dor, Stanley Woodward, had
stated, as conditions to Canada's
willingness to discuss any alter
nate American proposal, that
IAN entity is designated and
authorized to proceed with con-
struction of the United States
share of the power works, and
provided that such discussions
do not delay either the power
or the seaway project"
Stanley Knowles, a member
of the Canadian Socialist Party
which has advocated construc-
ton of an all-Canadian seaWay
no matter what action the Amer
lean Congress took, asked the
Prime Minister if he anticipated
American participation would
mean further delay in starting
seaway construction.
II see no reason to believe
that it would in any way
lengthen or delay the time when
an effective start could be made" "
Mr.. st. Laurent replied.
The Prime Minister expressed
the hope that the substantial
majority" which the American
House gave the Wiley bill would
help overcome the obstructionism
of United States opponents of the
seaWay.
Ruling Can Be Appealed.

May 10 to file an appeal to the

care for our additional pupils
Operating a school system is
like running home, an office
or a shop: a new member oi
the family or an additional EN-.
ployee means more food tc
buy or salaries to pay. More
children in the school system
mean the same thing, increaS.
ed cost of running the schools
We have gone over our operat,
ing costs carefully and believe
that this levy can be adjusted
at 4 mills tC yield sufficient
revenue to care for the increaS.
ed numbers in our schools. TIC
the taxpayer this means an ad.
ditional cost of less than one
mill and Will not materially in.
crease taxes.
Should this 4-mill levy be
defeated, we could lose some
of our good teachers because OF
reduced salaries and important
features of the school, like
kindergarten and playground
supervision, would have to be
cut down or lost entirely. The
levy, when passed, will yield
about $26, 900, enough to pay ad-
ditional teachers salaries a n d
continue many important acti-
vities. The Chardon DOL
system is proud to have a
Grade A rating with the Ohio
Education Department. The loss
of our kindergarten, reading i'm
provement classes, driver train
ing, industrial arts and similar
activities would place us be-
low the minimum standards
and seriously jeopardize our
good rating.
How Do We Stand With The
Rest Of Our County?
"The Individual taxpayer will
be interested in comparative
figures which indicate tn a t
Chardon school operating costs
even with the g mill increase
will be less than those of most
other school systems in our
area. At present the highest to,
tai assessment for operation
in the county is 25.7 mills; the
lowest is 1875. Chardon, with a
1872 assessment, is in seventh
place, or in the middle of the
IA districts represented. If al
operating levieS on the ballots
this fall are passed, Chardon'
position on the scale will be
pushed down to ninth place.
This means that a home-owne1
in 8 other school districts in
our county pays more per $10C
valuation than we do here in
Chardon. We are able to main
tain and operate our schools on
this level because we constant
ly try to get the most for your
tax dollar and because we are
one of two schools in the area
materially helped by industry.
''In the interest of b e tt e r
schools for our children, both
the levy and the bond issue
must be passed this fall. This
can be accomplished if all pa
rents and other interested per-
sons get out to vote themselves
and urge others to support our
school program"
