ANSWERS CRUST EES LETTER _ }

Editor, News: _

In answer to the letter published in }}

your paper last week by the Sumas
School Board, I may state that a few
remarks are not true, as I never
said that I did not wish my child to
attend Kilgard Cchool after the holi-
days. I did not flatly refuse to send
my soh to Upper Sumas School, but
told the School Board if they supplied
transportation to and from my place
they could have him attend Upper Su-
mas School.

I may state my reasons for not send-
ing my son to Upper Sumas School that
he had a mile and a half to walk to
get to the transportation supplied by
the School Board, pnd had to be there
at eight thirty-five in the morning,
and was not returned to that point an-
til four o’clock or after in the after-
noon and had a mile and a half to
walk home so he did not arrive home
until five o’clock or after, and he got
out of schoo] at two-thirty. By going
earlier in the’ morning and staying un-
til transportation brought him back he
had two hours longer in the day to at-
tend Upper Sumas Schoo] than he would
have if he attended Kilgard School. Jf
he attended Kilgard School he did not
have ot be there until 9.00 and get gut
at 2.30 and was liome a little after
three.

In regards to asking the School Board
if I could send my boy to Kilgard
School, the Board never notified me
of any change, nor asked me if T would
be satisfied with the change. But I
went and asked the teacher of Kilgar.l
School if she had any room and could

take my son in. She said that she had

Conservative Speakers
Address Local Meeting

Between 150 and 200 persons attend-
ed the Liberal-Conservative association

public meeting in the theatre last
Thursday evening. The discourses
were most interesting, the speakers

being C. L. Fillmore, Harold Lees, R.
Maitland, Mrs. Peele and J. McPhee,
J. Downie sang a couple of comic songs
which were well received. J. McGow-
an presided as chairman.

As opening speaker Mr. MePhee de-
plored the Oliver ‘administration, quo-
ting the estimated per capita debt of
$38 which now prevails in British Col-
umbia. In passing, he said he had not
much to say to the meeting, but after
his election would have plenty to ra-
port when he returned from Victoria.

Mrs. Peele proved a most entertain-
ing speaker, directing her remarks par-
ticularly to women voters. She urged
women to take a keener rest in
political issues, and gave considerable
interesting information to support her
remarks.

C. L. Fillmore gave a short but able
talk in which he referred to the high
personal character of McBride, Brew-
ster and other leaders, who sacrificed
private business life in which they
Were successful to enter public work.

although made a plank of the Oliver
platform, is not regarded as an ‘‘issue’
by Mr. Bowser’s party.
