Man's color preferences span

After more than a month's
"break" from the previous
regular meeting, Huron County
Board of Education came to
grips with several problems at
Monday evening's meeting in the
Board Room of Central Huron
Secondary School, Clinton.
Main items discussed were a
detailed report on transportation
presented by L. R. Maloney,
manager, purchasing and
services; and a comprehensive
series of proposals on Board
policies submitted by D. J.
Cochrane, director of education,
Final result to be announced
later.
R. B. Dunlop, business
administrator, who previously
had been instructed to proceed
with the Canadian Bank of
Commerce payroll processing
proposal, informed the Board
that the matter was well in hand
and that the first payroll
cheques under the new system
would be issued September 26,
the first payday in the new
academic year.
Elmer D. Bell, QC, Exeter,
solicitor for the Board, wrote
that he had completed the work
in connection with the purchase
from Waldo Duff Thompson,
Clinton, of a lot of Raglan
Street, Clinton, for $400 to
provide an entrance to the
playing fields of Central Huron
Secondary School.
The Board decided to accept
an offer of $1 per desk for 20
desks stored at Zurich.
It was pointed out that the
special projects section of
Ontario Department of
Education had issued an appeal
to Ontario schools for surplus
hand tools, work benches and
other industrial arts equipment.
The equipment is badly needed
for use in the Commonwealth
Caribbean schools in the West
Indies, and will be shipped there
under the Department's
Operation School Supplies
Programme.
In this connection, D. J.
Cochrane, director of education,
was empowered to make a
survey of any surplus arts
equipment owned by the Huron
County Board, and arrange for
its conveyance as noted in the
appeal.
• Ontario Manpower Retraining
Program sought approval in
principle of a retraining course
in the woodworking trades. The
Board gave approval to the
after-hours use of one of its
carpentry shops and authorized
the director to enter into more
detailed discussions with the
officials involved before the
Board makes a firm
commitment.
Effective date of the
commencement of "fringe
benefits" for administrative staff
and non-teaching 'employees of
Huron County Board of
Education, poses a touchy
problem for the Board.
Some employees were taken
on the payroll at January 1,
1969, and others at various dates
since the first of the year,
including that of August 1,
1969. Where do you start?
A motion slipped through
making August 1, 1969, the
effective date but was soon
rescinded when members
pointed out that there should be
some further consideration of
the matter.
It was decided then to
request D. J. Cochrane, director
of education, to submit a
written report and
recommendation on the subject
to the Board at its next meeting
in Clinton on Tuesday evening,
September 2. It may be noted
that school opens that day,
A special committee on

requested by the employees was
set up by Chairman John Levis,

Mrs. J. W. Wallace, Goderich,
before joining the Huron County
Board of Education as a
member, had been active in the

Association, She was appointed
by motion of the Huron County
Board to represent it on the
board of directors of that
organization.
Lincoln County Council
submitted a questionnaire on
Board finances, stating that it
was preparing certain basic
information about the 1969
estimated expenditures of
various Boards of Education,
and ultimately to summarize and
present this information with
recommendations to the
Province.
In refusing to take any
action, Huron County Board of
Education members indicated
that they did not consider it part
of Lincoln County Council's or
any other county council's
function, to seek such
information from elected
County Boards of Education,
whose members are all elected
by the ratepayers in the same
way that County Council
members are elected.
The Board decided to

"Safety, efficiency and
economy are considered to be
the prerequisites of a good
school transportation system,"
L. R. Maloney, manager,
purchasing and services, told the
members of Huron County
Board of Education at their
meeting in the Board Room of
Central Huron Secondary
School, Clinton, Monday
evening.
"This is a start," he declared,
"The purpose of this report is to
present the transportation
system as it exists in Huron
County and to provide sufficient
detail to facilitate
deliberations."
This he did in great gobs of
statistics.
"The intention is to provide
transportation for all pupils in
accordance with provisions
issued by the Department of
Education and the Department
of Transport."
It was revealed that contracts
had not yet been signed with the
bus contractors, but the Board
directed Mr. Maloney to arrange
with the 1968-69 contractors to
carry on operations on thesame
terms as in the last school year,
until agreements had been made.
In other words, the same
buses will do the same job at the
opening of school on September
2. The Board holds its next
meeting that evening to come to
grips further with the problem.
In this connection, Chairman
John Lavis, Clinton, appointed a
special bus committee to
investigate the matter
immediately and report, after he
had expressed some
disappointment that the
transportation report had not
been submitted prior to August
18.
Donald McDonald, Brussels,
heads the special committee as
chairman, the other members
being: Mrs. Marian Zinn,
Dungannon; Gordon Moir,
Gorrie; A. Garnet Hicks, Exeter;
John Henderson, Seaforth;
Daniel J. Murphy, Goderich.
"We want the pupil-per-mile
costs," Mr. Levis declared, "for
all the Board-owned buses and
those of the contractors. This is
one of the most important
things in the entire picture."
"Our Board-owned buses are
going to give us the costs,"
Robert M. Elliott, Goderich
Township, vice-chairman of the
Board, pointed out. "We must
have the facts if we are going to
negotiate with proper
background knowledge.
Gordon Moir, Gorrie, said
that if all contracts were on the
same pupil.per-mile cost basis,
there would be no problem
whatever, but this was not the
case.
Mr. Maloney was instructed
to contact the bus contractors
and insist on letters back to the
Board that bus terms would be
on the same basis as before until
adjusted one way or the other
by agreement.
Board members told Mr,
Maloney they were pleased with
the very complete and
comprehensive nature of the
transportation report he had
submitted.
Some of the facts that
emerged from the report are set
down as follows:
(1) There are 39
Board-owned buses in Huron
County (six for Step en and
JAD McCurdy School, CFB,
Clinton; seven for Brookside and
North Ashfield; three for
McKillop; five for Turnberry; six
for Grey; eleven for Howick; one
for Zurich.
, (2) There are 29 busi
contractors responsible for 157
routes requiring 978 miles of
travel per day throughout Huron
County with 1,295 sq. miles.
(3) There are 8,600
elementary and secondary
school pupils being transported
to and from county schools.
(4) There are 30 children
attending school under the
Retarded Children's Authority
(Board).
(5) Total cost of contractor
transportation for the scholastic
year 1968-69, was $662,392,
using existing contract costs.
(6) Total cost of
board-owned bus transportation
for scholastic year 1968.69 is
not available at this time.
(7) Average cost per mile in
1 9 6 8 - 6 9 with 120
contractor-buses varied from a
low of 28 cents to a high of 48
cents (each contractor's average)
(8) Board-owned bus drivers'
salaries varied from $100 to
$220 per month.
(9) Board office is in process
'of obtaining names of all bus
drivers full and part-time; date
of last mechanical fitness
certificate for all buses date of
last physical examination of all
drivers, including age, and data
on last TB test and (or) chest
x-ray. (Return reported 60 per
cent completed,)
(10) Efforts are being made
to ascertain debenture situation
on Board-owned buses. (Mostly
paid for, is reported.)
(11) Study is underway to
map-locate all pupils in Huron
County and to record all bus
routes, as preliminary to analysis
of such routes.
Among the recommendations
made in Mr. Maloney's
Transportation Report were the
following (not adopted as yet):
(1) That a credit card system
be established.
(2) That a competent
mechanic be hired on an hourly
or daily basis, only as deemed
necessary, to check out buses
and to ensure that drivers are
carrying out daily maintenance.
(3) That early consideration
be given to the feasibility of
selling the 39 Board-owned
buses by auction and by July 31,
1970, or by tender.
(4) That the Board ensure
that adequate liability insurance
etc. exists by September 1, 1969
(to protect itself.)
(5) That arrangements be
made with the Department of
Transport to periodically
load-check " buses throughout
Huron Cotifity. (Some Board
members stated that this was
automatically done by the
Department without request.)
(6) That during inclement
weather, the bus contractor or
senior driver, adjudicate on
whether buses will run.
(7) That principals report all
bus accidents directly to Board
office.
(8) Discipline on buses be
primarily the responsibility of
the bus driver with the support
of the principal. No student may
be put off a bus except at his
home.
(9) That CFB, Clinton, be
requested to make direct
arrangements for transportation
of its pupils in accordance with
Department of Education's
recommendations.
(10) No person other than a
pupil may travel on a bus while
it is engaged for regular pupil
transportation to and from
school.
(11) That salaries for Board
bus drivers be established as
soon as possible.
(12) That both elementary
and secondary pupils be
permitted to travel on the same
bus.
The above recommendations
will be adopted, as revised, likely
at the next meeting of the Board
of Education on September 2.
