Stale Eiuforses Proposed Site lor Union School Archaic and Not Safe Approval of Canandalgua's proposed elementary school site is expressed by the State Education De. partment's division of school buildings and grounds, in a letter from Frank C. Gilson, architect-engineer to Arthur E. Warren! superintendent of schools. The letter follows: "Dear Mr.

Warren: "Since your vote'on the proposed IRENE'S HAT BOX Easter Hat? and Bags for every ensemble. Phone 780-M 113 So. Main St. 20-aere elementary site is scheduled for about the middle of March I am writing our endorsement of this property, at once in case you wish refer to our letter in the consideration of the merits of this location for an elementary school site. "I was surprised and pleased to Jind so much available property relatively near the center of pupil population and available at such a reasonable price.

It would appear since such ample acreage can be acquired, minor objections to the site such as its proximity to the railroad tracks and lack of a broad frontage on a city street can be overcome by skillful planning of the. play fields and approaches. "We feel that the voters in your city should secure this property while it is still available arid that your board should take steps toward the planning of a new elementary building to replace the present building which admittedly is archaic and not fire safe. FRANK C. GILSON Canandaigua Memorial Post 7414.

I i St. Patrick's DANCE AT THE CANANDAIGUA HOTEL SATURDAY, MAR. 15 Matt Seherif AM) HIS ORCHESTRA Dancing from 9 until 1 vfj 'SEMI-'FOKM'AL Tickets $1.80 Tax Included Auditorium of Union School Unsafe for Use At its meeting last evening in the Union School office the Board of Education voted unanimously to close'the Union School auditorium to children of the kindergarten and first four grades for purposes of assembly. Members of the Board took this action with regret since they recognize that assembly programs are a valuable part of the educational process, but action was deemed necessary because of growing apprehension on -the part -of parents of small children. The question of auditorium use was presented to the Board by a committee from the Central Council of the Parent-Teacher organization in February.

Action was delayed at that time because of a scheduled visit to Union School by Frank' C. Gilson of the division of School Buildings and Grounds of the State Education Department to inspect safety conditions in this Union School. Although Mr. Gilson's full report has not yet been received he has stated that Union School is admittedly archaic and not fire safe. At the request of the Parent- Teacher group the board also voted to eliminate Christmas tree lighting in the building the remaining years of its use.

Action was also taken to request the Board of Health and Public Safety to provide, portable stop signs to be used in the middle of the street during the hours of heavy traffic at'the Union School crossing. In preparation for the school district meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 25th to decide on whether or not to purchase the Floral Avenue development and adjacent property for use as a school site, the Board designated Tuesday March 18th for an open meeting of qualified voters to discuss the proposal. To eliminate the objections which were raised last year ov.er holding the discussion meeting at the Academy, next Tuesday's meeting will be held in the Union School auditorium.which is the most central meeting place in the school district Arthur Warren, superintendent, and members of the Board of Education will be present to open the discussion' at 8:00 p. m.
