Approve late bus
(continued from page 1)
that no liability be possible
against the board. We'll leave
it up to administration to work
out the details."
In other business more bus
problems were presented by
two delegations at the meeting.
The first problem was presen-
ted by Mr. and Mrs. William
Berry, of R.R.3, Goderich,
who have not been satisfied with
the various solutions proposed
by the board, the transportation
director, R.L. Cunningham,
and the Duckworth Bus Service
since school started in Septemb-
er for the transportation to the
Goderich Collegiate Institute
of their two sons.
Mrs. Berry gave a lengthy
detailed outline of the problem,
stating there was no safety
problem for the bus to pick up
the boys at the gate according
to a requested report by the
Ontario Provincial Police and
that they should be given "sauce
privilege as the other children
on this route" and not be exp-
ected to walk a half utile
when others are not required
to do this, 1\•iarian Zinn of
Lucknow reported that the bus
route will have to be re-routed
away from the Port Albert
bridge because of a five -ton
load limit to be placed on the
bridge in the new year.
The decision of the board
meeting in committee of the
whole was that at thebeginning
of school in January the bus
route will be re-routed.
At the same committee of the•
whole the board's decision on
the second problem on busing
raised by Ronald Bushell, of
Goderich was that a committee
would be named by the new
board in January to study the
problem of some grades 7 and
8 students at Robertson School
having to walk more than two
miles to and from school daily,
and that if these students take
their lunches. they have to sit
on mats on the gym floor to
eat. Mr. Bushell reported that
only one teacher looks after
the students during the lunch
hour and talking and playing
during the hour are not permit-
ted.
ermit-ted.
Superintendent R.E. Smith
said it is not normal that
children should not be able to
tall( during lunch, and Mrs.
Mollie Kunder, of Seaforth
said "we certainly should look
into the teaching part --at the
Seaforth School there is no
problem at lunch time and the
children have a good time
playing games."
A field trip to Detroit was
approved by the board for the
basketball teams from the God-
erich District Collegiate
Institute to observe a profession-
al game on December 18 at a
cost to the board through the
school budget of $175.
A cheque of $43 donated , o
the Queen Elizabeth Trainable
Retarded School, Goderich,
by Court Constantine L1842,
Ladies' Branch of the Independ-
ent Order of Foresters at Kin -
burn will be deposited for use
by the principal of the school
to purchase items needed by
the children.
The board granted approval
for the production of student
achievement forms, school
timetable and student report
cards on the computer at Alt -
house College of Education,
London, for South Huron High
School, at Exeter. The work
will be done by Willard Long,
Data processing and computer
programming teacher at the
Exeter school, during his own
time in the evenings and on
weekends at a cost of $3, 200.

Report on development
(continued from page 2)
where agriculture and cottages
are adjacent, are very recept-
ive to the general notion of
restrictions on the sale of farm-
land which limit it to agricult-
ure or agriculture related use.
They seem open to the possib-
ility that housing for non -farm-
ers, retired farmers, and even
hired men might be tied to
existing towns, villages and
hamlets.
"They oppose unrestricted
development along highways
and are unsympathetic to the
hydro's need for rural property,
but support the need for conser-
vation of water and forestry
resources.
"Farmers differ markedly
from townspeople and cottagers
in the degree of their opposition
to the sale of farmland to non -
farmers; though they are prep-
ared to see pockets of poor land,
such as ravines, sold to such
individuals.
"A latent problem in rural
land use planning was revealed
by the conflicting value position
taken by many respondents in
this survey. There is general
support for some form of protec-
tion for farmland, and for the
notion that once such land is
sold little can be done to cont-
rol its use or resale; but on the
other hand many people still
balk at the thought that land-
owners might be faced by regul-
ations telling them what they
could and could not do with
their property.
"This conflict appeared, not
so much in response to questions
regarding specific land use
issues, but when general attit-
ude questions were anted, which
suggests that planners should be
aware of a contradictory emot-
ional field underlying the app-
arent willingness of the public
to entertain more in the wav of
land use regulations.
"Cottagers may be typical of
people coming to Huron County
from elsewhere, in that they
are not so supportive of protect-
ion for farmland, but are will-
ing to entertain restrictions on
the use of land. They may
want to be able to buy land, but
appear to dislike the notion
that the character of the surr-
ounding countryside might
change in a way unattractive to
them.
