Crothers, Toronto, who is seeking public support and sup- port of members of parliament in the introduction of a bill amending the inconsistencies in the Highway Traffic Act. The Highway Traffic Act requires (a) school buses must have flashing lights operating when children' are being loaded or unloaded, (b) school buses must have a sign or lettering, indicating "Do not pass when signals flashing", (c) Motorists- -approaching from either direc- tion must come to a full stop until the flashing lights stop. Mr, Crothers pointed out that these regulations are not required in areas where speed limits are not more, than 35 miles per hour. He said the Traffic Act allows the Council of any city to exempt highways under its jurisdiction where speed limits,may be more. thaA, 35 miles per hour. ;4, Mr. Crothers said it was ati extraordinarily dangerous situation and that the protec- tion provided a child in a 36 mile per hour or over zone, is just as vital to a child in a 35 \ mile or under zone, noting that being hit by a car at any speed could cost the life of a youngster. , The board will write Mr. Crothers that its position is that all vehicles should stop when a school bus is taking on or letting off passengers in all speed zones.

The board turned down on a 9 to 3 vote' a request,from Terry Craig, a teacher at St, James Separate School in Seaforth, to send out a geographical statistical survey to parents of students in St. Columban and St. Patrick's School, Dublin, with the students taking the questionaire home to their parents. Mr. Craig indicated in his letter to the board the statistics were required in the geography course he was taking at Laurier-: UniversieY, Waterloo. While the Board members agreed , the survey was har- mless, Trustee David Teahen suggested that Mr. Craig should maid out the questionaire himself, rather than involve the board. The regional director of education in Kitchener repor- ted to the board that. it could receive an allocation from capital aid of $50,000 (category B) for such projects as exten- sions of education services-- such as resource centres, gym- nasiums, as long as there is a proven need that will meet ministry of education approval. This proposal was handed over to the building and main- tenance committee to consider and report back to Board for 'approval, GERALD L.
