There are some very good reasons to
stop for stationary school buses. Such as the,
penalties for not stopping, which could
include six demerit points,fines up fo $1,000
and e'en imprisonment.
And this year, there's something new to
watch for. Chrome yellow'
school buses can be used
for passengers under 18 to
or from any event—day or
night. Drivers will activate.,
their flashing red lights
anti stop arms when their
passengers get on or off
the bus.
But the most impor-
tant reason of all is simply this: Your mistake
could cost a child's life. And that kind of mis-
take is never forgotten.
So remember, drivers going in both
directions must stop for a school bus with its
red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
Drivers approaching from
behind must stop at least
20 metres (about six car
lengths) behind the bus.
So be extra careful at
all times. Keep an eye out
for flashing lights and stop
arms on school buses.
Please, don't take a chance
with the life of a child!

Hospital, courtesy of town
council. At its meeting last
week, council voted to give
that sum to the fund-raising
campaign.
Councillor Tom Miller,
who is also chairman of the
hospital fund-raising com-
mittee, had asked council for
the contribution . — which
represents . approximately
the 'cost of ' the building
permit for the new wing —
and, following some spirited
'discussion, a majority of
council agreed.
There were some ob-
jections, on the grounds that
municipal councils had .been
promised they would not .be
approached for donations in
all this drive since had
contributed , to an earlier
effort three years ago.
However, in a recorded vote,
only Councillors James A.
Currie and' Bruce Machan
were opposed. Mayor

Town council has given
first and second reading to a
bylaw to regulate the use of
sanitary'and storm sewers in
the municipality. However it
plans to ask for some ex-
planations before giving it
final passage.
"I trust (the engineer's)
wording of the bylaw,"
Councillor Currie remarked,
"but I hope before we get to
third reading someone can
improve my understanding
of it," pointing to sections
such as "pH means the
logarithm to the base 10 of
the reciprocal of the con-
centration- of hydrogen ions
in grams, per litre of
solution."
Thebylaw was drawn up
by S. D. Burns of B. M. Ross
and Associates Limited. In
his letter of introduction to.
the bylaw, 'Mr. Burns
assured council "we would
not expect the Bylaw to
impact significantly any
existing sewer users." He
also said it should not impose
any unwarranted restric-
tions on future development
in the town.
Councillor Machan told
council' a bylaw is needed
because, "the way the
bylaws are now, we can't
stop anyone dumping any-
thing down our sewage
works," with possible
damage to the system.

Council has given its
public works committee the
authority to purchase a new
truck to use for snow-
plowing, with the provision
that the price not exceed the
amount the town has in
reserve for equipment
purchase.
Councillor Machan said
the committee has obtained
MTC specifications for the
truck and Reeve Joe Kerr
has ben working on getting
prices.
Since there is an estimated
four months. delivery time,
the committee would like to
purchase a truck before the
next council meeting, he
explained. -
The committee must call
tenders for the purchase and
if the lowest tender is not
acceptable it must come
back to council for authority
to accept a higher one.

Councillor Currie has been
appointed as the new chair-
man of the propertycoin-
mittee in order to relieve
some of the workload being
carried by Councilor Mach-
an, the former chairman.
Mr. ,Machan proposed the
change, explaining that due
to the ill health of Reeve Joe
Kerr, who chairs theP ublic
works committee, he has
been called upon to spend
more time in that area. He
said he will continue to serve
as a member of the property
committee.
Mr. Currie, who since his
resignation as chairman of
the police committee had not
been chairing any com-
mittees, accepted the ap-
pointment.

sorts of groups ,would have'
access to the Armouries and.
what the rental fee would be

pressed only in percentages,
ranging from 10 per cent for
practice drills by the Air
Cadets to 100 per cent .for,
dances with a bar, com-
mercial sales, or seminars
