In addition the regulations require that a Defensive Driving Course or a School Bus Driver Improvement Course, on a one time basis, be taken before a licence is granted to operate a school bus. It will also be necessary to carry on every school bus, a First Aid kit, prescribed by the Canadian Standards Association, for school buses. There has been considerable discussion this week about a ruling of the Ontario Highway Transportation to allow Greyhound Lines of Canada Ltd. to run buses on routes between Toronto and Buffalo and Tdronto and Sudbury which are at present served by Gray Coach, a sub- sidiary of the Toronto Transit Commission. Gray Coach spokesmen have said that the company will appeal the decision to the Ontario Cabinet, but the Minister of Transportation and Communications has told the Legislature that he agrees with the Board's reasons for giving the ruling - complaints of poor ser- vice by Gray Coach, and the need for competition on the routes in the public interest. Leonard Moynehan, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union has charged that telegrams of support for the Greyhound service from union locals, read in the House by the Minister, were paid for by Grey. hound, and that although more jobs might be provided they would not be in Ontario, because Greyhound would then have a cross-Canada service, with drivers from the United States„or from Winnipeg driving ▪ through Ontario. A vice president of Greyhound admitted in a telephone in- terview, reported in a Toronto newspaper, that the company paid "thousands" of dollars to bring 70 witnesses to Toronto to support the company's ap- plication. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has stated that bus service to many small Ontario communities is threatened by the Transport Board decision to permit an American controlled company to- operate on the two main Ontario routes under discussion. "It appears that the Davis Govern- ment is willing to condone this sell-out to American interests at the expense of of a Canadian Company owned by Ontario taxpayers", he said. Gray Coach' officials said thisi week that Greyhound will skim the profits from these two money- making routes, making it im- possible f or Gray Coach to continue to provide service to money losing routes in the rest of the Province, Stuart Smith and other Opposition Members have tried repeatedly to persuade the Minister of Transportation and Communications, or the Premier, to delay issuing Greyhound with the necessary permits, until the Cabinet has had an opportunity to consider the major policy change. Liberal MPP for Kitchener, James Breithaupt, raised in the Legislature the fact that the Minister of Government Ser- vices, Margaret Scrivener had indicated in a recent newsletter to constituents that the Govern- ment may introduce entrance examinations for universities, and has asked Ontario's prin- cipals and headmasters to produce a plan for province- wide investigation of standards in testing and marking. The Minister of Colleges and Universities has admitted that university entrance examination may be introduced, that the idea is being studied, but he didn't care to suggest that "it will happen next fall." According to the Education Minister, universities are "inclining in this direction," The Minister of Transportation and Communication announced the reduction of gas prices by Imperial Oil at Service Centres on Highways 400 and 401. Mr. Snow stated that he was questioned in the Legislature about the differential in the price of gasoline between Highway Services Centres on the 400 and 401 and highway stations, The Minister, in a word of explanation, said that these service centres operate under a lease agreement with the oil companies which tender for the award of Such leases, and the lease agreements call for a percentage of the gross revenues, not a per gallon rate, The Minister said when most of the leases or contracts were drawn up, fuel was at a much more reasonable price but as the costs increased the sale price of the product increased, As a consequence, the 400-401 service centres have been paying their rental percentage on inflated costs. The Ministry negotiated with the Oil Companies and as a rtsult Imperial Oil has agreed to lower the prices they charge motorists using service stations on High- ways 400 and 401, The Ministry is also now committed to amending its agreements with the Oil Companies, allowing them to reduce the amount equal to the increases from September, 1973, from their gross revenues, The increases from September 1973, stem from higher Federal taxes and the oil producing countries well-head royalties. As of November 23rd, the price of gasoline at Esso stations on Highways 400 and 410 has dropped anywhere from five to nine cents a gallon. The Provincial Government is to produce a detailed report on the follow-up care provided for nineteen teenagers who have died in the last two years after being released from provincial training schools. The Minister of Correctional Services told the Legislature this week that nine boys and one girl between the ages of 14 and 17 had died in the year ending March 1975, while they were still wards of the province, and that there bad been ten similar cases in the previous year. He said the teenagers had been free from training schools for an average of 17 months before their deaths. Margaret Campbell, MPP (Liberal St. George) asked the Minister to include in his report information regarding the case- load of the after-care workers handling each teenager who had died, and Stephen Lewis com- mented that the report would probably show that the probation officers concerned probably had such heavy case-loads that "nobody had time to look after them. I think you will find what is true of all services in Ontario - that after-care follow-up is desperately inadequate." By JACK RIDDELL. Regulations were filed this week, by the Honourable James Snow, Minister of Transportation and Communications, to improve school bus transportation. One of the main areas the regulations concentrate on is the school bus driver's driving record as well as the operator's moral character, The regulation setting forth measures to improve school bus safety will come into effect February 1st, 1977. These measures are - Any applicant for a school bus licence will be refused if that person's driving record shows more than six demerit points. A licence will be withdrawn from the holder if that person's driving record shows an ac- cumulation of at least nine denierit points. Any applicant will be denied a licence to drive a school bus if he or she has had a licence suspension within the past year resulting from a driving offence under The Highway Traffic Act or the Criminal Code. A School Bus Operator's licence will also be withdrawn should any bus driver be con- victed of two or more motor vehicle related offences under the Criminal Code of Canada within the past five years. A licence will also be denied or withdrawn, should an applicant or driver have been convicted of a moral offence such a's rape or indecent assault or conviction of importing or traffiCking in narcotics. The reasoning behind these measures is that a driver con- sidered to be a poor risk to drive his or her family car, is also an equally poor risk to transport children daily on a school bus. In (
