The filrn was prepared by the Univer- sity of California, City of Los An- geles. The university was asked to survey the problem of school bus safety and to identify the problems. Jack Lane of St. Columban, board business administrator who 'showed the film said that three experiments were used—a head-on collision, a rear -end col- lision and a side impact—using ten different sizes of seats in the buses, various seat belts and har- ness and restraint bars and arni rests. The film'clearly identified and confirmed the findings of the uni- versity: 1. That bumpers over- ride. 2. That body mounting bolts shear under impact. 3. Too few escape routes—(requires four full-size emergency doors). 4. That whip -lash occurs to all pas- sengers in standard seats from rear -end collision. 5. That lap belts are not suitable for school buses. The recommendations made by the university: 1. Uniform safety standards be adopted for all school buses in all states. 2. Standardization of basic design criteria: 3. That high -back pad- ded seats with a height of 28" is. required for maximumsafety (presently 18"-20'.!). 4. That bumpers on all buses, cars and trucks be the same height. 5. That no standees or improvised aisle seating ,be *allowed. Arthur Haid, RR 4, Listowel, chairman of the transportation Committee stated that his com- mittee hopes to have 'a recom- mendation ready in two weeks, based on this film, for board members to consider sending to the Ontario • School ' Trustees' Council and the Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association. The film was made available to the board through Mrs. C. Stauf- fer, RR 1, Bright, interim chair- man, school bus safety commit- tee, Canadian Association of Con- sumers. Arthur Haid reported a wide variance in bus transportation costs to the board, especially in Stratford. He said that in discuss- ing this with John Vintar, super- intendent of education, the latter had suggested a detailed study be made of transportation in the Stratford area. Joseph Tokar, as- sistant superintendent of educa- tion, with the assistance of Trus- tee Howard Shantz of Stratford, will do this study and bring in a report to the transportation com- mittee. Robert Smith, an alderman in Stratford, and James Bringloe, also of Stratford, were present at the meeting speaking for a group of ratepayers in the Willow Street area in the Devon subdivision. They requested permission for the use of the property (3.6 acres), owned by the Separate School Board, as a playground for a few years until the board is prepared to build a school on it. Mr: Smith said there are 60 youngsters, up to 15 years of age, in .the area who need a play- ground, with the possibility of more when two new apartment buildings are opened up and when,. Devon Street is opened. Mr. Smith said nothing perma7 nent Would be put in the play- ground, possibly a soft ball dia- mond and dne, or two pieces of playground equipment for the younger children.. He said for the older boys there is organi2ed ball in the city. • Trustee Joseph Looby of Dublin ,said he felt the'groun should have the property for as long as they want it, and when the board needs it back three month's no- tice should be given for any equipment to be removed and the property returned to the board in the condition in which it was re- • ceived.r- The, board agreed to let the Wil- low Street group have the Ilse of the land and Jack Lane was authorized to draw up a letter of agreement. Joseph Tokar, sitting in ' for' John Vintar who was not at the meeting, reported a three-day workshop in Geneva Park at Oril- lia on June 2, 3 and 4 for attend- ance counselling services. Wil- liam Innes of Stratford, attend- ance counsellor • for the board, will attend. The Board approved paying =It ° before 1veyou dri that new car EDWARD A.
