The board approved a new
policy re: administration time
for elementary schools. The
formula for the new policy was
developed by a committee form

administration time for vice -

criteria for establishment of a

New Ohio license plates ask,
"Seats Belts Fastened?"
By 1985 auto designers will
rely on rubber and plastic -
modified rubber for doors,
trunks and hoods, as well as
bumpers and grilles. Should
prevent dents and scratches.
Thumping noise is usually an
indication that a tire is in out -
of -round condition. Have it
trued - or risk a ruined tire,
premature spring sag and
ball -joint wear.
Something new to look for one
the road - the "no smoking "
hotels. Rooms have been
treated to remove tobacco
smell, and only non-smoking
personnel are assigned to
work there.
Limit your auto loans to three
years on a new car, two years
for a used one. That way you
never owe more than the car is
worth.
If you're looking for a new car, took
no futher than Larry Sniders. Get a
sturdy, hard-working model that'll last
longer than the loan.

24, and Thursday, April 25,
from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
and 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
each day. This will give the
general public the opportunity
of seeing the facilities in the
Centre, and the use (meetings)
and be able to learn the size
of the building and the cost of
renovations. A special press
night is to be held prior to the
Open House.
The board did not wholly
support the stand of Hugh A.
Crothers of Toronto who would
like to have a non-partisan
bill introduced to correct incon-
sistencies in the Highway Traff-
ic Act which does not require
flashing lights on school buses
and traffic halted when school
buses are loading or discharging
students in areas where speed
limits are 35 miles per hour or
less.
When replying to Mr. Crothers'
letter the board will include the
statement of Trustee John
Boradfoot, of R. R.1, Brucefield,

that in a 30 -mile zone there are
areas where buses can get off
the traffic lanes to load or dis-
charge students where it will
not interfere with the flow of
traffic. Mr. Broadfoot also
pointed out that in 30 -mile
zones there are often four lanes
of traffic and the frustration of
drivers getting to work in the
morning rush-hour with school
buses bringing all traffic to a
standstill. Mr. Hill stated there
are two sides to the question of
safety and expressed the general
concern for the safety of stud-
ents and the general concern for
traffic.
