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 inconsist- encies in the Highway Traffic 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. Cro- thers' letter the Board will include the statement of Trustee John Broadfoot of R.R. 1, Brucefield, that ina 30-mile zone there are areas where buses can get off the traffic lanes to load or discharge 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 students and, the general concern for traffic. Authorization was given to R.L. Cunningham, Transportation Manager for the Board, and Trustees J.P. Alexander of Wingham and John Henderson of Seaforth to attend the annual convention of the School Bus Operators' Association of Ontario in London on July 1, 2, and A. ..."1101=M10111=1111.1.
