Open discussions on late bus
(by Wilma Oke)
At the request of trustee
Herb Turkehim,, of Zurich the
proposal of trustee John Hend-
erson of Seaforth on October 18
to alter bus service for Seaforth
area students will be re -opened
at the next meeting of the
Huron County Board of Educat-
ion on December 16.
Mr. Henderson's proposal cal•
led for a late bus at 4:15 p.m.
for the 130 students who take
options at the Clinton Secondar'
School and are unable to part-
icipate in extra -curricular act-
ivities after school due to bus
departure at 3:15 p.m. His
proposal was twice defeated by
the board at the October 18
meeting, in the first vote 7-6
and 6-5 in the second vote.
Mr. Turkehirn stated his
reason for asking for another
discussion on the late bus was
that the proposal was defeated
by one vote and he has learned
since that some trustees did not
fully understand the problem..
The board adopted the ad
hoc Field Trip committee rep -

TODA( CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTO ;JJ�.J SYNDICATE
You can tell from the expression that Dick is an imp. At nine
he is lively and mischievous — and most engaging.
Anglo-Saxon in background, Dick is a husky youngster with
brown hair and hazel eyes. His health is excellent. He is
somewhat shy on meeting strangers but soon becomes his
uninhibited self. With people he knows, he is lovable and af-
fectionate.
Because he is hyperactive and excitable, school has been hard
for Dick, as it is for any child who finds it difficult to stay put. He
is in Grade Four.
Dick loves the outdoors. His foster family camps regularly
and Dick has become an enthusiast. He likes any kind of
energetic game, especially hockey but is fond of music and has
started to play the guitar.
Dick needs young, energetic parents who will enjoy his
liveliness and give him love, stimulation and control.
To inquire about adopting Dick, please write to Today's Child,
Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K,
Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, consult
your local Children's Aid Society.
LOVES THE OUTDOORS
A lengthy discussion resulted
from the requests for the costly
trips with only a few students
in the school participating.
Mr. Hill questioned whether
there would be money left for
the large group of students in
the school for external activit-
ieswhen a small group of the
students, such as the French
class, would be getting a fairly
big percentage of the subsidy
allotted the school.
It was questioned whether
the first club to the principal
with a request for a trip rec-
eived the most. Trustee J.P.
Alexander of Winglcam asked
if the principal of the scbool
was the only one to decide who
went where, and was told by
J.W. Coulter, superintendent,
that at Winghatn he knew the
principal and heads of staff
met to decide on field trips.
A request for nomination to
Department of National Def-
ence was granted to Miss
Marilyn Clark, of Victoria Pub-
lic School, at Goderich, but
was denied at this time to
Mrs. Eila Smith, who teaches
at J.A. McCurdy and Usborne
Central Public Schools, where
she is presently on a probation-
ary contract.

DRIVING SCHOOL RISKS
Before signing up with a
Driving School talk to people
who have already taken lessons
from various schools, advises
Consumers' Association of Can-
ada. Ask what training their
instructors have had. And note
the age and condition of the
Company's cars. Find out how
long the school Inas been in bus-
iness. Beware of schools that
insist you take what seems to
be an unreasonable number of
lessons.

electricity wise, {t
isn't just a matter
of avoiding waste.
Being watchful to avoid the
frittering away of kilowatthours is
everyone's concern, in the inter-
est of economy and conservation
of valuable energy resources.
But for some people, living in
older homes with outdated wiring,
restricted use of appliances is not
always a matter of choice. They
do not have sufficient circuits to
serve normal needs without
resorting to 'octopus' outlets and
extension cords. The result:
overloading and blowing of fuses.

These conditions also tend -to
diminish the performance of
appliances and shortens their life.
Inadequate wiring is not only
inconvenient, it can be a safety
hazard. If you have any doubts
about the capacity of your home's
wiring have it checked by a
qualified Electrical Contractor.
Then, use
electricity
wisely ..
and safely.
