headpiece of petals held a double
tiered veil. She carried a cascade
of stephanotis and ivy with orchid
centre.

while another sister, Janet; and
Mrs. Marj Shaw, the groom's
sister, were bridesmaids. They
wore moss green crepe gowns
with long ruffled sleeves and
sweetheart necklines. Green
velvet chokers and cascades of
white daisies complemented
their outfits.
The groom's neice, Barbie
Shaw, dressed in a white velvet
empire dress and carrying a
small cascade of daisies was the
charming flower girl.
Greg O'Brien was the
ringbearer.
Betty Jean MacLean, of
London, dressed the same as the
bridal attendants, supplied the
wedding music.
Groomsman was Jack
Guenther, while John Shaw and
Brad Oke ushered the guests.
The reception was held in the

Guiding 19,000 pounds of school
bus, loaded with 70 ram-
bunctioas, noisy kids, over .a 25
mile run two times a day is a no
Pushover job. Especially, if the
backroads are as hazardous as
they've been this winter. But, for
several women in the area it's
daily routine and a cup of tea.
Of the five buses transporting
students to Stephen Central
School, four of the drivers are
women. Mrs. Pauline Guenther
started as a spare driver back in
1946; Mrs, Rode Weber, began
transporting students eight years
ago, and Mrs, Mary Weber and
Mrs. Ortha Baker have been at
the helm of buses since Stephen
school opened five years ago. All
four are employed by the Huron
County Board of Education.
Mother driver, Shirley Kipfer,
whose father, Earl Guenther,
operated the buses to South
Huron District High School for
many years, is now employed by
Charterways. She started to
drive a bus as soon as she
acquired her driver's license
over twenty years ago and
continues to haul youngsters to
the Exeter high school every day.
Joyce Marrinan and Donna
Smith have runs to Mount Carmel
Separate Schobl and both work
for Joyce's husband, Pat
Marrinan, who operates the bus
service to Mount Carmel.
Joyce has seven children but
this has in no way deterred her
driving in ten years. "I just took
time off to have a baby and then
got right back on the job."
Donna began driving two years
ago.
Pauline Guenther and Shirley
Kipfer remember when owning a
chauffeur's license was all that
Churches unite
Palm Sunday
Members of Exeter United
Church, and the congregation of
Trivitt Memorial Anglican
Church will worship together at a
service at the United Church,
Palm Sunday.
The Rev. George Anderson will
preach the sermon and assist
Rev, Glen Wright in conducting
the service.
Last fall, the United Church
congregation joined the
Anglicans in their Eucharist-

while there may still be obstacles

was required to man a bus.
It's not that easy now,
First, the potential driver must
Pass a medical examination,
The next step is to try a written
test on the rules of the road and
then engage in a gruelling half
hour drive. Successful com-
pletion of these tests entitle the
driver to a Class II special bus
license,
One of the ladle's admitted, "I
had to try the test two times
but ray husband had to take it
three times before he passed!"
Which brings up the question,
"How do women stack up against
men as bus drivers?"
According to M. E. Malpass,
transportation officer for the
county board, they're just as
good as men.
"There's no special
significance in the performance
of either sex,"
Mr. Malpass said women may
have more understanding in
dealing with children and
discipline seems to present no
problems to the women.
The ladies say they have little
difficulty handling the kids.
"Most youngsters are not
problems, but of course, you run
into some saucy, ill behaved
children." These become
especially troublesome if their
parents back up their bad
behavior.
"You've got to like children to
be a good bus driver", is the
opinion of the women.
Other qualifications are "lots
of nerve and plenty of self con-
fidence."
Winter driving doesn't seem to
phase their confidence, All. say
they experienced no driving
problem's. during the bad'
weather, As it happened, the
storms seemed to 'brew up while
they were off the road and safe at
:borne,
"Of course, we worried about
the children left stranded at the
schools during the big storm the
end of January,"
Joyce Marrinan does recall
being out in one squall when she
couldn't see the rood in-
tersections but she managed to
get back home safely,
Like the Pony Express they
travel through hail, sleet, rain
and snow to get their Ming
charges to school on time. And .
they do a magnificent job,
Let's not hear any more
disparaging remarks about
women drivers!

The bride, was charming in a
floor-length empire styled gown
of white satin with lace bodice,
collar, and bell sleeves. The A-
line skirt was complemented by a
cathedral - length train which
draped from the mid-back to the
floor. Chantilly lace appliques
provided a delicate trim.
A headpiece of lace petals
trimmed with crystal drops and
seed pearls held an illusion veil.

necklace and ear ring set, a gift
from the groom, and carried a
bouquet of pink roses centered by
