Bus drivers
attend seminar
The first safe driving seminar
for bus drivers of Charterways
(Exeter Divison), formerly
Exeter Coach Lines was held
recently.
More than 20 drivers now
handling buses to and from South
Huron District High School and
Usborne Central were told def-
ensive driving was important to
prevent accidents.
Chuck Anderson, field inspect
or for the Transport Safety Ass-
ociation of Ontario and Const-
able Wayne Moulton of the
Goderich OPP detachment both
emphasized defensive driving.
In speaking of the Association'
aims Anderson said, "our purp-
ose is to prevent accidents
through safety education.. We
are constantly doing analytical
work to see where and how
people get hurt,"
He continued, "Our program
is the philosophy of defensive
driving to prevent accidents. A
preventable accident is one in
which drivers don't do all what
is expected of them."
Anderson added, "Attitude is
important for drivers. Don't
assume what the other fellow is
going to do. In case of an acc-
ident the question will be, what
evasive action did you take?"
The safety inspector reminded
the drivers of school buses, they
were handling the most valuable
cargo in the world. He said the
Transport Safety Association
driver award programs are eff-
ective. "You will hear a lot
about these programs in the
future, " he continued.
Fred Fuller, safety director
of Charterways congratulated
the Exeter drivers on their fine
record. He said there was only
one accident involving a school
bus in the last three years and
it involved only minor property

It's a good idea to keep a fire

type is best for any kind of fire.
A rhythmic thumping noise

developed a bulge, and may

A dirty air cleaner on the

Ontario is a fast-growing province—
more people, more vehicles, more factories,
more machines every day.
With that growth comes the threat
of damage to our environment. Pollution of
all kinds.
The Ministry of the Environment is
Ontario's guardian of our air and land and
water.
Here's who we are and what we do:
Air Pollution.
1. We monitor the air for pollution
and order corrections if unacceptable levels
occur.
2. We track down strange odours in
the air and many things you can't smell and
eliminate them if they are dangerous.
3. We investigate suspected air
pollution injury to people or property.
4.We are responsible for noise
pollution and are creating enforceable noise
control measures.
Land Pollution.
1. We deal with all the leftovers of
our affluent society—the industrial waste, pro-
cessed organic wastes, and ordinary garbage.
And regulate its transportation and disposal. .
2. We study recycling as an aid to
reducing quantities of waste and to avoid
depletion of our natural resources.
3. We control the use and application
of pesticides which are u.nacceptahle for
pollution reasons.
Water Pollution.
1. We protect all of Ontario's water
sources from pollution.
2. We develop and control surface and
ground water resources.
3. We watch all potential sources of
industrial and agricultural water pollution.
4.We plan, build and finance modern
sewage and waterworks facilities for Ontario
municipalities.
5. We supervise all private waste
disposal systems.
Ontario has some of the most com-
prehensive legislation in North America to
protect our environment. But it will take the
effort of everyone to solve our pollution
problems.
