"The value is there if you Send your children to our schools," suggested Trustee, Mollie Minder, Seaforth. "We cannot do that, on a mat- ter of principle, Mr. Bruinsma replied. The Christian School beard , was asking that a maximum of three students be added to some bus routes throughout the county, Mr. Bruinsma said these stu- dents are scattered throughout the district and about 60 miles of bussing per day could be elim- inated if Huron School board bus- es would pick up these children, all residing on roads travelled by Huron's buses. "Some buses are already stopping at these gates to pick up children attending other schools," he said. He added that according to last year's bus routes, there would be plenty of room for extra students. Principal Schuurman said that he didn't like to think of their request as being for "free trans- portation" but rather for permis- sion to use "empty seats" on Huron County School Board buses. He referred to former Min- ister of Education Thomas Wells who suggested that Christian School boards go to their public school boards and see if arrange- ments could be made to "share facilities". Huron Board chairman R.M. Elliott said that in his view, Wells had abdicated his respons- ibility by leaving it up to "100 different boards to deal with the problem in 100 different ways."

Auto emissions and industrial pollutants are the chief culprits. At Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, fumes from a nearby garbage disposal plant have been pin- pointed as the source of a tough black substance that has en- crusted hundreds of ancient bronzes. The Museum of Modern Art in New York -- whose outdoor metal sculptures are coated with many layers of a heavy wax to protect them from pollution -- inspects its indoor galleries every day for the effects of gases and soot that are sucked in through air ducts and corrode the paintings. Today museum people regard air-filtering systems as the best method of coping with air pollut- ion. The most successful both filter and "wash" the incoming air, removing from 85 to .95 per- ent of atmospheric impurities. But pollutants from auto exhaust still creep through the filter systems. The best systems, says Dr. Haagen-Smit, have elaborate charcoal absorption filters com- bined with washing devices. These systems, however, are so expensive that most museums cannot afford them. Air pollution's damage to the art of all ages can be seen by the naked eye. Its effect on human lungs is reflected In the rising rate of respiratory disease.
