route" and not be expected to
walk a half mile when others are
not required to do this.
Marian Zinn Zinn of Lueknow
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 the beginning
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
With deep appreciation
of your loyalty and
good will, we're
wishing you all the
pleasures of a
fine old-fashioned
Yule. Be merry!

The proposal calls for the late the Seaforth students were taking Clinton school were in an unique
situation, different from any

they were denied the opportunity
to have part in extra curricular
activity.
Mr, Turkheim said that the
Murphy Bus Company had a bus
available for the late bus service
which would cost the board $6.70
per day, a small amount of
money compared to the service
provided for the students. It
would be an express bus directly
to Seaforth and the students
would seek their way home from
Seaforth.
Mr. Henderson said that,
thinking of the students from
Morris and Grey whose parents
had indicated to him they were
interested in the late bus, he
would ask that the express bus go
to Seaforth and drop off the
students for that area and the
north students be taken to the
turn-around at Winthrop and
dropped off there.
The Board members agreed to
the extra mileage to Winthrop
provided that the parents would
give signed agreements ap-
proving that their children take
the late bus and that they would
be responsible for working out a
way with their children of getting
home from Winthrop, or the
Seaforth school for those in that
area.
Mr. Turkheim said the express
bus would cost the board an
additional $1.05 to go to Winthrop
making the total cost $7.75.
Retiring Trustee John
Broadfoot of Brucefield said at
the conclusion of the discussion:

The director of eduction, D.J.
Cochrane, noted occasionally the
schools were given to groups
holding night courses which were
in competition with courses of-
fered by the Board of Education
in night classes on which the
schools receive grants, and noted
