If Toronto is the destination and one is fortunate enough to own or have the use of a car, all answers are relatively simple and preparation for the trip more or less negligible. If travel is by bus, a little different approach is required. Keeping in mind that the bus leaves at a definite time, there is n9 leeway in the departure and similarly, planning the return is also governed by the clock. For some, these factors pose a prob- lem. • A lengthy trip can .be tiring and 41 hours by bus certainly comes into that category. Double that time and nine hours or more out of a day spent in travel leaves little time to accomplish what the trip was planned for. This is exactly what the person travelling from Winghan, to To- • ron tlo faces. The bus leaves Wingham at 7:50 a.m., arrives at Blyth about 8:05, then on to Clinton and reaches Stratford at 9:25. If the passenger has thoughts of going to London the arrival at Clinton has no particular significance, but if he is headed for Toronto it is necessary to change buses. If the change is made without delay, that is, with less than ,15 minutes lost, the traveller can re- lax, feeling reasonably sure that Kitchener will be the next main stop, arriving about 10:20 a.m. and following several other stops, the bus will arrive in Toronto at 12:15 p.m. If the traveller has plenty of time and patience, the tour start- ing tarting at 7:50 and ending "at 12:15 p.m. could be enjoyable, ,espe- cially if the traveller can sleep or has had the foresight to bring along a good book. Allowing one hour for lunch, it is conceivable that with some time allowed for travelling from point to point in Toronto, there would be no time whatever for transacting business unless an overnight stay is possible. According to the bus schedule, there is only slightly more than Recreation association to be formed Inthec�unty- A meeting of all persons inter- ested in recreation in Huron County has been planned for Clin- ton on May 15. The object of the meeting, according to Spence Cummings, Huron County development officer, is to form a sports association for the county. Mr. Cummings pointed out in an interview last week.that many areas of the province have associations to promote sports within their county and he feels it would be beneficial in Huron. The development officer has been ac- tive representing Huron on a regional recreation association for Western Ontario in the last few months but feels a person nominated from a Huron associa- tion would provide a better repre- sentation of sports in Huron. One of. the accomplishments of 444 • Your �es-your line af SeIf-Def�nce. • The best protective equipment you can ever own is already yours—one pair of eyes.

Your Workmen's Compensation Boned and The SafetyAssociations, Ontario the regional representation has been the hiring of Mrs. Moira -Couper of Henall as children's recreation co-ordinator for Huron, effective May 15. She was. hired and will be paid by the Youth and Recreation . Branch of the Department of Social and Family Srvices. The proposed Huron associa- 'tion would have two objectives. It would assemble informationon such things as facilities avail- able, persons interested in particular sports, facilities required in the county, funds pre.. sent'ly required to mainain sports programs and what funds are needed in Huron's towns and vil- lages to maintain 'present facili- ties. , If this information is obtained, the second objective of the association would 'be to decide wha .should be done with the info m°atiorn gathered. To further the i eveloprnent of sports within t, county should be the basic unction of the association. Mr. Cummings said that one of the greatest problems in forming an association has been trying to convey to people just what the organization would be. He said he does not see it as a governing .body of sports in the county, nor does he see it asa branch of coun- ty government. In no ,way, he said, will it be a county -sponsored recreation department. He indi- cated that he himself would with- draw from the organization once it was formed so that it would have a separate identity but that through his office he would do everything possibhle to • help it achieve its objectives. He said the association would be a method of enabling competi- tion in Many sports which are not played beyond the local level.•For instance, he said, such a group might be able to organize county summer games from which win- ners would go on to compete at the regional level.. Mr. Cummings said that with the present organization in sports in Huron, government funds that are available are being gobbled up elsewhere with no benefit coming' to this area. Such an association, he said, would be a spokesman for area sports and recreation and able to get more of this money into Huron. He urged anyone interested in sports either for. recreation or competition to attend the meeting at 8 p.m., May 15 at the Clinton Community Centre.

It has been noted that 41.E hours are required to get to the city but this cannot com- pare with the return trip. Leaving Toronto at 1:30 p.m. the bus ulti- mately arrives in Wingham a few minutes before 8 p.m. The extra time required for the return is taken up in transfer to other buses, including waiting time, scheduled to bring the• traveller to Stratford by 5:05 p.m. Departure time for the latter part of the journey is: about 6:30 p.m. Last February a meeting of the Board of Transport Commis- sioners was announced to be held at Walkerton to discuss the trans- portation needsof this area. Be- cause of bad weather the meeting was cancelled. Recent information indicates that this board has now arranged to hold a meeting at Walkerton June 1 for the purpose of receiv- ing briefs from interested area persons and municipalities dis- satisfied with the present facilities for travel. .
