Disban school safety patrols (by Janice Middleton) The Huron County Board of Education voted to discont- inue school safety patrols at public schools in Goderich and Exeter at Monday night's meeting. "Legislation defines the limits of a board 's jurisdict- ion over pupils as only while on school property or while travelling on a school bus," D.J. Cochrane, dirctor of education, informed trustees. The board is in a position where it might be sued if an accident occured at a board sanctioned crosswalk, he said. Student safety patrols will not be operating this Septem- ber, while board -paid adult guards will remain at the cross walks until December 31. The cost of crossing guards at Highway 4, near Exeter public school, is shared by the board and Exeter council. There is also a board employ- ed guard on Highway 21 at Victoria Public School in Goderich. In Goderich, grade 6 pupils were members of a school safety patrol. "It is . my opinion that responsibility for helping children to cross the street is that of an adult guard. Grade 6 students are not of an age to accept the responsibility," said Mr. Cochrane, In Clinton and Wingham, crossing guards are employ- ed by the town council. Local police oversee school safety in Seaforth. Trustee Jack Alexander of Wingham said the board "should be paying in all municipalities or none. We have paid our guard in Wing - ham for several years and if I'd known that the board paid for guards elsewhere, I would have brought this up before now." - Chairnian Wilfred Short - reed said the director of educ- TOP ound Steks FULL SLICE Round Steak BOTTOM Roan= Steaks FRESH LB1.99 LB1 A.79 Chicken Breasts LB1.09 FRESH Chicken Legs OUR OWN FRESH .99c LB 1.59 Suusuge 5 & 10 LB PARCELS LB $1.49 MAPLE LEAF SLICEDLB $2.18 Cooked HUm2LBSOMORE LB$2.09 Front Sides Hinds LB 72t LB 94t LB $1.15 YUNGBLUT'S Meat Market ZURICH PHONE 236-4312 ation would need to write "a diplomacy letter" to Exeter nd Goderich councils askinig that the responsibil- ity for the children 's safety at crossings be the town 's. Trustee John Elliot suggest- ed that the affected councils inform the board by Decem- ber if they will employ cross- ing guards. "Highway 4 is dangerous. I don't want to see the children abandoned." he said. The board has no cost saving ulterior motive," said Mr. Cochrane, but is Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER .15101.10114 First thing to try, if your engine is "knocking", is a higher- . octane gasoline. If that doesn't work, the engine's timing should be checked. Renting a car on vacation this summer? You can get a child's safety harness and/or a seat, if you remember to ask. SHIMMY is the side-to-side mo- tion of the wheels caused by wheel imbalance or by a defect in the steering or • suspension system. It's a definite trouble sign. Have it checked.
