BE ON THE LOOK OUT... School's back in session and in the excitement of the new school year, many school-age children, especially the young ones, may forget to look both ways when crossing the street or exiting the school bus. That leaves it up to you as a driver, to be extra careful around schoolyards, neigh- bourhood play areas, and departing school buses. So remember...when you see yellow, be sure to see red - as in red alert. Let's all slow down and give our children the chance they deserve. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS 1. Arrive at your pick-up point on time. Bus scheduling is such that the drivers cannot wait for pupils who are late. 2. Take you seat promptly and remain seated until you arrive at your destination, unless otherwise directed by your driver. 3. Hold books and lunch boxes on your lap or on the floor at your feet, never in the aisle where they may trip someone. 4. Skates, when carried on a school bus, must have skate guards or protective material in place. 5. Keep your arms and head inside the vehicle at all times. 6. Never interfere with emergency doors/exits or any part of the vehicle equipment. e /”%";:7•WP" / •/'/' C416.b r oB 0 7.

Mrs. Yvonne Kitchen, chief of nursing staff at Seaforth hospital, was the guest speaker. She spoke to the ladies about the importance of having someone they trust set up a power of attorney for personal health care. For more information on the subject 'personal health care' directives can be obtained from the local member of parliament. Members discussed plans to visit the technical center and food service option at the Clinton high school. This is in regard to a letter sent to the WI by Paul Carroll to see if the group would be interested in taking a look at the programs and offer any financial support. The Guelph area WI Convention will be held in Arthur, Oct. 4 to 5. The theme for 1995 is 'Safe and Happy Communities'. Ideas for activities to promote this theme would be welcomed. Contact Marjory Humphries for more information. School begins Well it's that time of the year again when the relaxed(?) easy way of life comes to a close and it's back to school lunch making, homework, a regular bedtime and no more sleeping in! The teachers at Walton Public School have been busy all week preparing their classrooms in anticipation of the arrival of their eager young students. There have been a few changes in staff since last year. Susan Elston will be teaching kindergarten and Brenda Vivian will have the Grade 2 class. The school also said 'goodbye' to secretary for seven years, June Johns. She says that she will miss everyone so much. She said that she gets so attached to all of the children, but she will be kept busy helping her husband farm and will continue her hobby of porcelain painting. Mrs. Wilson will be the new secretary. Meeting at wildlife centre Come, let your ideas fly at a meeting of people interested in developing a business implementa- tion group for Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area. The gathering will be an opportu- nity to play a direct role in the com- munity development of the area and to bring a business-like approach to this operation. In taking steps towards making Hullett Wildlife Area a financially sustainable area, the group is also looking for a person with business sauve to volunteer as the director of the business implementation group. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m. at the Hullett Wildlife Area office. Inquiries may be made to Ken Maronets at the Ministry of Natural Resource office at
