The Board's transportation of-

8 a.m. except where a'turn •
around or other travelling condi;
tions may be considered unsafe
to the school bus in the opinion
of an officer of the Department
of Transpd.rtation and Communica -
tion.
It was pointed out that no chan-
ges are anticipated immediately
because of the policy, nor does
it,rnean that the transportation
people will not do everything in
their power to ensure maximum
bus service for as, many students as
possible. It might be, of interest
to readers that the School Admin-
istration' Act of the Province states
that a board does not have to pro-
vide bus transportation for students
and that students under seven may
be required to walk up to one
mile; students seven to, ten may be
required to walk up to two miles;
and students over 10 years may be
required to walk up to three miles•
In many towns and cities stUdents
do •walk more than a mile but
when they gerto their destination,
it is a school. However, a stud-
ent in the country ,,walking a dist-
ance-is-still only-getting to-a bus,

Spending ceilings .irnposed on
Boards of Educations thi's year by
the-Prorinee-will-ltit-hard-on, the--
Huron County*Board of Education.
In a letter to the Minister of Edu-
cation,. Thomas Wells; from the
Board , States that drastic cuts and
elimination of some programs in
both the elementary and second-
ary schdol will have to , be made tc
get underthe ceiling. The pro-
grams offered to the children will
at .best , be similar to those offer-
ed before the introduction of
county boards in• 1969. The hum-
ber,one priority was the equality
of educkional opportunity , will•
only be a myth in so far as iiuron
County is concerned. The root
of the •board's problems 'is that
1972 ceilings are based on actual
expenditures per student ,in 1971,
and the board: in the past, has
followed a conservative 'spending
policy. This means other boards
who have spent more freely than •
Huron,,will have higher ceilings ,.
this year. The board letter states
that althbugh it doesn't oppose
ceilings -in general, that it fails
to see the fairness in a grant sys-

(vocal and•iristrumental) drama
and art are of paramount , import-
ance in the development of the
whole student. The creative arts
in school provides the basis for
leisure time activities in later
life , teaches the students to be
critical and discriminating in their
interests, develops a questioning
mind and a' sense of confidence ,
aids in social and emotional
growth and helps correct some of
the imbalance of aims within the
present school system. Marks are
given for academic abilities but
the persons with creative abilities
do not get any recognition. With •

was stated by members of the sub-
committee. While there is vocal
music taught in all the element-.
ary schools of the county and some
limited instrumental instruction,
none of the secondary schools, has
any music instruction either vocal
or instrumental, except on an
extra-curricular basis. The Music

also suggested that a school needs
a 'spark-plug' - someonei to
ignite the spirit that is there; also
persons in cha?ge of hiring should
be encouraged to be on the look-

4ubjects.
Larne Potterer , speaking of his
choir from Mitchell told the mem
hers of the Board that he teaches
246 students a day in his flIUSiC
course and has a waiting list of
almost 100 students who would
like to join the choir. I it, further
added that, choral music is not
