St. Columban School and Tuckersmith Town- ship students who attend St, James School in Seaforth will be riding the bus with secondary school students this fall. The Huron-Perth County Roman, .Catholic. Separate School Board voted on Monday night to integrate transportation of these students with secondary school bus routes operated by United Trails. This action . means United Trails can eliminate one school bus route, a saving for the board. The board had considered extending the licence of Keith McCarthy, an independent bus driver employed by the board, to pick up McKillop and Tuckersmith Township. students. However, since Mr. McCarthy would then be picking up students in the protected area of the United Trails company, this action would have required special approval from United Trails and the Ministry of Trans- portation and Communications licensing board. John O'Leary,— one of the trustees, -expressed concern that St. Columban parents wouldn't be pleased with the results of integration. He said he had already heard the "integration in McKillop Township is not good..'' Concerned Mr. O'Leary said some parents were concerned about younger children riding with high school students. Jack Lane, superintendent of business and finance, said integrated bus routes already serve board schools in Goderich, Exeter, Clinton, Seaforth, Stratford and Kinkora. Trustee Davld Teahen said one benefit of integration on the buses was that older students can keep an eye on the younger students. Board members were also assured that the only difference in travel time on the new mute is that the route will be 2 1/4 miles longer, since in the afternoon the bus will pick up students at St. Columban School after driving from Seafbrth rather than from Dublin as in the past. Trustee Gregory Fleming, of the Mount Carmel area, told the board that residents in the area arc requesting a pipeline easement across Our Lady of Mount Carmel School property. The Lake Huron water pipeline is being extended into Stephen Tow,iship to provide water for residents from Mount Carmel to Cairo, The board passed a motion requesting that 'trustee Fleming and some of the members of the property committee attend the public meeting on the pipeline.

Fifiteen counties arc involved, from Lambton through to Peterborough. United Breeders of Guelph sponsors the show, which is unique because it emphasizes the competitor ii ore than the calf.- Each 4 woe writ:: an essay and answers a senior level quiz, then receives points in the showing for showmanship ability and finally for the calf. Terry Smith of R.R.1, Walton is one of two Huron com- petitiors in the show. There are two corn- petitons, -with the beef calves going into the ring at 10 a.m., the dairy -calves at 1 p.m. Each division winner (quiz, essay, showmanship, calf) will receive 25 silver dollars. The champion com- petitor with the highest total points gets 75 silver dollars- on a silver tray. The runner up and honorable mention win 50 and 25 silver dollars respectively, also on silver trays. Until this year the Silver Dollar ComPetition has been limited to dairy calf club members. Because of •the popularity of the competition it has been necessary to limit the number of entrants per county to five, and allow them only two years' participation. The result is a show where the best from et ch county have the op- portUnity to meet and com- pete with others of the same interests and Competence, The 4H Beef Silver Dollar Competition is new this year, the result of demands -for a senior level show based On a beef heifer calf project.
