We conferred with District Sujij4riiitendent Briggs, Prin- cipal Barker; sorne members of your board arid representatives of the site committee. i \This site is located partly in the village of Jtayeiia and partly in Coey- mans\ and 1ft' fact fronts on Route 143, which is the main street, in the two villages. k \After a careful review of the prop- erties involved in the proposed site, we came to^the'conclusion that tech- nically the proposed site meets the re- quirements of Section 408 of the Ed- ucation Lawi Jbr that reason we feel obligated to^approve the site but give this aprpoyai with deep reluctance and many misgivings. We cannot and do not recommend it to your board and people. '••• \At • the time the joining together of the RavenarGoeymans Central district and the Selkirk Union Free School district was under discussion, there was a general • understanding that a geo- graphically central location of the Sigh school site would be ideal. This thought pernieiated all of the discus- sions leading to the joining together of the two district. There is, there- fore, in my opinion, a strong moral issue involved in the site selection. \One fundamental thing seems to have been forgotten in the discussion of the Clousi-Mayone site. That is that central- school districts are not formed to. benefit the economic wel- fare of any particular section of the district. They are formed so that a broad\On andy enrichedf educationalr pro-- gram can be offered to the boys and girlst at a reasonable cost to the dis- trict. of the Samuel deChamplain Boy •coming J957-58 season oh its clear- Scout District, is currently attending ihg calendar, with a coverage from the National Training School of Scout September 1 through May.

Heart disease is apparently more prevalent among women than men, Health Information Foundation points out — but it causes 75 per cent more deaths among the males in this country. One possible explanation of the excess male mortality: Men are thought to be particularly subject and vulnerable to the strains and pres- sures of modern life.
