cation and the, township would

said the people In town would
have to pay fees to go to the
Usborne soh oo and Reeve
Frayne said the assessment on
properties outside of Exeter
OCT were approximately the.
same as a. 100-acre farm);
ADVANTAGE
Dougall, who answered most
of the criticism, pointed out
that the proximity of the school
to Exeter rnightbe an Advantage
in future because, if the trend
toward smaller population
the farm continues, the town-
ship enrolment might decrease
and children from Exeter could
bp taken in to fill empty rooms,
He also pointed out that main-
tenance service might be cheap-
er.
Harold Cudmore, a nominee
for the board, asked how much
more snow plowing equipment
would be required for the bus
system, Gerald Prout said that
because almost all roads in the
township would be used by bus-
ses they would all have to be
cleared early in the morning.
Thereupon he registered a com-
plaint with council over the
present system under which bus
roads were cleared earlier. He
felt the others could be cleared
earlier too if the plow operators
started work earlier in the
morning. He was supported in
his complaint by Don Easton,
In answering criticism s,
Dougall brought out the follow-
ing points:
The yearly saving in trans-
portation cost was important
because it would affect operat-
ing costs for the next 75 or
100 years;
Some of that saving could be
invested in better facilities for
the school;
Under a joint system, the
busses would pick up more
children in a shorter distance
—they would be filled more
quickly and could reach the
schools in faster time;
Even if a discipline officer
was required on the bus to keep
estimated five more busses
would be needed); which some
said would defeat the school
board's purpose;
Lorne Marshall, who won-
dered how the joint ayStem
would be cheaper (and was told
by Prout that bus service costs
approximately 50/ a mile and
that If two busses went over
the same route twice the cost
would be doubled to $1.00) and
who doubted the wisdom of put-
ting 19-year-old and six-year-
old children on the same bps
("You can't put small child-
ren with the large ones and get
the environment you should
have");
HIGHEST COST?
Elgin Rowcliffe, who said a
recent county council report
indicated the cost-per-mile of
the South Huron system was the
highest in the county (answered
later by Reeve George Frayne
who said the transportation cost
per pupil at South Huron was
the lowest in the county) and
who suggested there were "any
amount of people in the town-
ship" willing to pick up and
deliver children to a central
school;
Bob Mayer, who said he had
investigated the McGillivray
central school operation and
had found that the ratepayers
were in favor of everything but
the practice of sending high
and public school children in
the same bus; he also agreed
with Trustee Elson Lynn who
had indicated earlier he would
be glad to pay more money to
have the township operate its
own bus system;

Said Trustee Gerald Prout:
"We had no other choice. It's
for the benefit of all the tax-
payers of the township, I'm
here to represent all the rate-
payers not just part of them."
Bison Lynn made little com-
ment in his first report but
joined In opposition to the site
later, contesting the report that
the board'a decision to erect a
central school in the first place
had been unanimous.
"YEAR OF TROUBLE"
Trustee ToM Bern was the
first dissenter, stating it had
been ua year of trouble as far
as I'm concerned," He said
the location was not fair to the
people in the east end of the
township.
The busses, he said, would
have to be in Exeter by 8:40
to permit Usborne students to
catch the relay to Clinton school
and that meant some of the
pupils in the east would have
to be picked up at 10 to 8.
He later pointed out the
busses wouldn't leave until after
4 o'clock, whereas other central
schools sent their c h i Id r en
home at 3:30.
Referring to the delay in de-
cision, he said: "We lost enough
money this summer to have
bought a bus of our own and I
won't back up to anybody on
that. That's the truth."
CRITICAL
Among those who were criti-
cal of the site and proposed
transportation system were:
Bill Morley, who said his
children are picked up at Whalen
now at 8:05 to go to Biddulph
school but would probably be
collected 30 minutes earlier

order, it Would still be cheaper

haviour is concerned,
WHAT ABOUT VOTE?
The qUestion of council ap-
proving the debenture i s $13 e
after the vote turned it down
last year was raised by several
people, Including:
Edgar Cudniore, who defend-
ed the one-room schools, noted
that president Kennedy had been
shot down last week by a mi-
nority group and wondered if
"a minority group rules our
township too";
Elgin Roweliffe, who said Us-
borne is being ridiculed in the
rest of the county because the
council "completely ditched"
the vote;
B. J, Voss, who wondered how
council could "completely dis-
regard the vote" when it was
supposed to be an executive
body "to fulfill the wishes of
the people".
Reeve George Frayne ex-
plained that he had taken the
stand that if the school board
was unanimous "I would go
With them". When the board's
request came to council, he
asked if it was unanimous and
Was informed that it had been.
The reeve also pointed out
that after the vote on the school
had been defeated, the people
subsequently had voted for three
trustees to represent them and
they supported the central
school.
Roy Bell asked if the school
board actually was unanimous,
pointing out that the chairman
had not been at the council meet-
ing as the press had reported.
' The question of unanimity was
bantered about by the trustees
themselves, with Bison Lynn
questioning whether it was or
not.
Both Prout and Dougall point-
ed out that secretary had asked
if the motion was unanimous,
