Author Karl Schuessler came to
Goderich this week to autograph his recent-
ly published book, School on Wheels.
The book tells the story of the railroad
cars that travelled throughout Northern On-
tario and brought education to the isolated
children of miners, trappers, lumbermen
and the railroad section workers.
For.40 years the railways and the Depart-
ment of Education cooperated in.this unique
venture that gathered hundreds of children
out of the bushland into the ' converted
railroad car that stood on a siding for
several_pdays at a time

ing quarters, became the center of light and
life for the peoples of the North. 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.

Tips for a safe. 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. Children
