The teacher and his family brought not only books, maps and school supplies, but movie projectors, bingo games, prizes, skis and ice skates. Mr. Schuessler told the school on wheels story in an hour long radio documentary for CBC radio eight years ago. He and his wife, Mary, have now put together this history in print with photographs taken during the school car era. The book focuses on the best known of the school car teachers, Fred Sloman. Known as the dean of the school car teachers, Mr. Sloman was one of the first of two teachers who began this teaching experiment in 1926. His teaching career spanned the lifetime of the school on wheels project that ended in 1967. Karl Schuessler lives in Brodhagen, only 25 miles from Clinton where the 89 -year-old widow of Fred Sloman lives with her daughter Margaret in the family home. Several years ago their School Car No. 15089 came back to Clinton. Today the renovated school car stands in Sloman Memorial Park. It's open to visitors during the suml'ner months. Margaret Sloman is curator of the School on Wheels car that received a historical pla-' que designation this past spring. �Mi.X xx.� ... n�urd.......M 4. ✓M+mu 7 f. aL Co-authors of "Schools on Wheels" Karl and Marg Schnessler with Cela Sloman (right), whose late husband taught on the bush school for 39 years.

Hallowe'en, will be distributed to over 50,000 children Halloween has traditionally been a fun time for children. Unfortunately, because of their unique vulnerability as costumed pedestrians, and because "trick or ,treating" is done when visibility, is low,, ,gach ,year, an anticipated evening of exeitehient ends in tragedy for some children and their families. To assist in alerting everyone to the pedestrian dangers associated with this holi- day, "Tips for a Safe Halloween" was in- troduced by C.A.A. in 1979 to make youngsters and their families aware of potential Hallo- ween hazards. "Tips for a Safe Halloween" has proved to be a phenomenal success with almost 10 million distributed to date by C.A.A. clubs. This year,, C.4.A. Windaorand its,Branch of- fices will be distributing "Tips" to school children throughout its six county area. Developed for elementary school students and printed in orange and black on a reflec- tive yellow pothelene bag, the safety message is co i e and to the point.
