B&PW Speaks Out The only brief from Wingham was sponsored and written by the Business and Professional Women's Club and was presented by Mrs. Kay Forgie. The docu- ment pointed out all the draw- backs which are inherent in the present transport facilities. The brief had been prepared for hear- ings scheduled for last January, cancelled as a result of an air- lines strike. It asked for the rein- statement of rail passenger ser- vices and provided many reasons why this move is necessary. One telling point was a com- parison of the performance of railways and bus lines in getting passengers to their destinations. The brief recalled an instance some years ago when mechanical difficulties prevented the CN train leaving Kincardine on time. four. injured „, i.n SundaY accident Grey Township.

Minor damages were caused in a two -car accident last Friday on Huron County Road 16, east of Brussels .in Grey Township. Drivers Walter W. J. Kelly of Stratford and Danny Kenny of RR 1, Dublin, were not injured. Damages were estimated at $270. A car -school bus accident on Monday caused approximately $1,500 worth of damage but re- sulted in no injuries to drivers or . passengers. The mishap, which occurred on Highway 86, east of Bluevale in Morris Towphip, in- volved a car driven by John A. Porter of Don Mills and a school bus driven by James R. Morrison of Wingham. Police state that charges are pending. The railway phoned ahead ,and provided taxi or motor transport for passengers in time to permit boarding of connecting trait..at Palmerston and Guelph. In contrast, another incident was recalled when a bus coin- pany failed to get passengers to a divisional point in time for con- necting departures and were left to pay for motor transport at their own cost. Another accusation was that information about bus arrivals and departures is sketchy or non- existent. The brief said that bus Decoration Day.

Tele- phone calls to local depots often result in confusing information and result in frustration for would-be passengers. Air travel, according to the Wingham brief, would be a solu- tion only for businessmen travel- ling on expense accounts and the necessary subsidies for such a service would have to be borne by all taxpayers and utilized by a privileged few.
