The weather on Sunday was acting like a
„.silly young miss. The kind who is all entic ing
smiles one moment and weepy, sulky and
glowering the next. That is what Sunday's
weather was like. The tun shone brightly
encouraging o ne out for a. walk. The next
time you glanced out the window the sky
frowned and down came the rain, time after
time. The wind-swept rain, discouraged one
from venturing out. In the early hours of
Monday morning, there was snow.

the number of drivers who refuse to give way
to the flashing lights indicating pupils are
either boarding or leaving a bus.
Just watch the number of vehicles that pass
a lights-flashing bus. The theme of the week
is "Wait a Minute". 'This theme can. readily
be applied to drivers but also to students-
wait before crossing the road. Be sure it is
safe. It can apply to the bus driver- wait a
minute to get there safely. Impatience is not a
virtue; it is a human-flaw that frequently
contributes to school bus accidents. Whether
we are a motorist, a school bus passenger, or
a pedestrian, we will benefit if we "wait a
minute" fora potentially dangerous situation
to clear.

announced that court action will likely be filed
in Winnipeg against the plans. Several
provinces and various citizens groups have
threatened to take Pepin to court. The
Western provinces are Understandably up-
set. The cuts are to be made to provide $100
million' a year for Via 'to spend on

proposed cuts will be any more successful
than was the One to keep rail service in this
area.
