The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-08-24, Page 5Christian schools as free transp*rfati By Shirley J. Keller The board of Calvin Christian School in Clinton would like to share facilities with the Huron County Board of Education. Cel- li vin Christian board secretary Cecil Bruinsma and Principal Ralph Schuurman appeared be- fore Huron's board Monday even- ing in Clinton to ask for free bus. - sing for 23 of their pupils this fall. A"recommendation before the board from R. L. Cunningham, 4 transportation manager, sug- gested a "transportation agree- ment with the Clinton and Dis- trict Christian School board for a trial period of September to De- cember 1972" and that the Chris- tian School board reimburse the Huron Board their proportionate costs on the bus routes involved. Before much discussion was held on the recommendation, Bruinsma informed the board the Christian School board was re - BE SMART...

"We're asking for some value for our taxes," said Bruilns.ma, reminding the board that Chris- tian School supporters paid taxes to the public school board al- though their children attended the Christian School. "The value is there if you send your children to our schools," stated Mollie Kunder, .Seaforth. "We cannot do that, on a mat- ter of principle," nnewere! Bruinsma. The Christian School board was asking that a maximum of three students be added to some bus routes throughout the county. Bruinsma said these students are scattered throughout the district and about 60 miles of bussing per day could be eliminated if Huron School board buses would pick up these children, all residing on roads travelled by Huron's buses. "Some buses are already stop- ping at these gates to pick up children attending other schools," said Bruicisma. He said that according to last year's bus routes, there would be plenty of room for extra students. Principal Schuurman said that he didn't like to think of their re- quest as being for "free transpor- tation" but rather for permission to use "empty seats" on Huron County School, Board buses. He referred to former Minister of Education Thomas Wells who suggested that Christian school boards go to their public school boards and see if arrangements could be made to yshare facili- ties". Huron Board chairman R. M. Elliott said that in his view, Wells had abdicated his responsibility by leaving it up to "100 different boards to deal with --?the problem in 100 different ways." "We're in the red now and we're asking for help," said Bruinsma. George Parsons of '.Goderich asked if the Christian School' board had considered the differ- ence to their budget if' they paid their proportionate costs 'to the Huron board. "No we haven't," admitted Bruisnma, "but I don't think it would be too beneficial." . Parsons told the delegation it should investigate the savings through this arrangement before abandoning the idea entirely. John Broadfoot, who was conducting the meeting at the re- quest of Chairman Bob Elliott, told the delegation the matter would be discussed thoroughly and the decision fgade known to them. Transportation contracts for carriers of trainable retarded students were fixed until June, 1973. George Cameron and Gordon Montgomery, who transport chil- dren to Goldon Circle School in Wingham will receive an in- crease of three percent over :2575 per. mile and other carriers in Huron will receive increases.

Mixing of household cleaners dangerous Many women who would never let their children play with dan- gerous household chemicals un- knowingly create another hazard by mixing cleansers to produce "better" cleaning effect, say the Council on Family Health in Ca nada. The danger in'mixing different ' chemicals together, says the Council, a non-profit organization sponsored by leading members of the drug industry, is that highly toxic gases can be released that, are capable of producing pul- monary damage- and even death. Chlorine bleach, when added to "' ammonia or acid compounds such as rust remover, bathroom bowl cleaner, lye, or vinegar, may produce chlorine gas. This gas, once used in chemical war-. fare, causes a stinging or. horning sensation of the eyes, nose and throat, and brings on sneezing or coughing. Some products .are dangerous 'without being mixed. One of these is oven cleaner which is caustic • and can cause skin irritation. The Council suggests that users fol- low label directions completely, wear protective gloves and use only in well ventilated kitchens. Another dangerous chemical is carbon tetrachloride, a highly toxic, flammable liquid used for spot -cleaning 'fabrics. The coun- cil urges housewives to search for old bottles of the solvent and dis- card them in favor of safer clean- ing agents.. Best method of dis- posal is to pour the liquid into the sink, then discard the empty bot- tle or can. Poisoning from inhaling dan- gerous vapors usually happens in poorly ventilated areas such as a bathroom with the door closed. The concentration of gases builds up arid can overwhelm a child or adult if 'allowed ,to reach a high level. For this reason; the Council ad- vises housewives always to keep a window open when using clean- ing compounds. If vapors cause' irritation, cleaning should be dis- continued until the air has cleared. Use of householdchemicals mixed together is particularly dangerous when .children are in. the home. Their bodies react to dangerous gases faster than ' an adult's and they can be overcome in a matter of minutes. The Council advises homemak- ers s to read directions on all cleansers thorouy, then take even greater pr autions than the manufacturer recommends.

The moisturizers protect deli- cate lip tissues; the smoothie stick prevents chapping and it helps to keep the colors from , changing on your lips. Watch Your Business -Grow...
