embers preview "The Irok
BY WILMA OKE
A film entitled: "The Broken -
Bus"' was previewed, by °The
Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board at
a meeting in St. Michael's School.
in'Str•atford Tuesday night.
The film was prepared by the
University of California, City of
Los Angeles. The University was
asked to survey the -'problem of
school"bus safety and to identify
• the problems.
Jack Lane, St. Columban. board
business administrator, who
ishowed the film said that three
experiments were used... a head-
on collision, a rear -end collision
and a side impact...using ten
different sizes of seats in the
buses, various seat belts and
harness and restraint bars and
arm rests.
The film clearly identified and
confirmed the findings of the
University: 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
passengers . in standard seats
from rear end collision. 5. That
lap belts are not suitable for
school buses.
_;he..ecommendations made by
the University: 1. Uniform safety
-gra nciaNIS be �adopfe-d larµ all
school buses in all states. 2.
Standardization of basic design
criteria. 3. That high -back padded
seats with a height of 28" is
required' for maximum safety.'
(presently 18" — 20"). 4. That
thrmpers on all buses, cars and
.trucks he the same height. 5. That
no standees'br improvised aisle
seating he allowed.
Arthur Haid, R.R. 4;r Listowel, ,
chairman of the , transportation
committee stated , that his
committee hopes to . have a
recommendation ready in two
weeks based 6n,this film for board
members to consider sending to
the Ontario School Trustees and
were ten appointments, mostly
school houses from the Union
School House, Bayfield Road, to
Springs at. Auburn, and were
composed of class,s with
appointed class leaders.
In the veer of Confederation.
1867, when' the Rev.
J.A.Livingston was Pastor, the
.church was moved from the
Commons to the site,where the
present Church now stands.'
Ip• the year 1877 Rev. Owen G.
Collomore was sent as Pastor and
through, his untiring 'efforts the
present churci was built. At that
time to build a church of the type
and cost was regarded as an
exceptional undertaking. The
trustees of the Church were
,William Palist, James Martin,
--Samuel Weller, William Swaffield
and J.H. • Edwards.
In ,1899 Rev. S.J.,Allin was, the_,„
first Minister to live in the new
parsonage. In 1914 during the
pastorate of Rev. J.E. Fortl the
church and parsonage were freed
from debt.
Rev, Leonard Warr is the
pastor of Victoria Street United
Church now. He came in 1966. He
says they still retain the old form
ofgove'rnment'in the church,' with
elders, stewards, and trustees.
Some churches have opted to
change the structure.
The building hasn't changed
much. It holds around 400 people.
The steeple is no longer there, but
in the.church are new chimes and
carpeting.
Rev,. Warr -is also the pastor at
Benmiller, a parish of 75
families. Victoria Street has
about200 families at the present -
time. He remarked that years
ago, families had their own
designated area of pews, and old
