The Kelsey Division plans a new elementary school if needed and expects near full enrollment in fall 1971. Margret Barbour and several elementary rooms are already full, with 61 of 69 rooms in use this year. The Department of Indian Affairs seeks to place 140 Indian students along with 90 Guy Hill students and 40 from other groups into Kelsey. Kindergarten classes may start in fall if teachers are available, needing four rooms. full Indian intake would require 71 rooms, beyond the 69 available. College projections show about 632 students next year, up from 5656 now. The division will drop its 11 Occupation Entrance courses for a year, possibly moving the senior ungraded class back to elementary schools to free two rooms. Affaires seeks 180 ninth graders next year with at least 15 from Guy Hill and 30 from nearby areas. High school projections predict 88 in O E classes, 180 grade nines, 173 grade tens, 1k grade elevens, and 80 grade twelve students, versus current counts.

Manitoba Plan Offers Low Cost Housing Loans for North
The Manitoba proposal outlines a Remote Areas Housing Program for three settlements including Young's Point and Town. It envisions 6 000 dollar homes with 200 dollar down payments and affordable monthly loans backed by Central Mortgage and Housing with 75 percent funding by the federal body and 25 percent by the province. A health survey reports many homes substandard with overcrowding and poor lighting and heating. The Big Eddy Residents Association urged government help to build better homes rather than charity, noting sickness and hardship from cold, wind, and rats in current houses.
