Transportation is another topic which will have to be dealt with, and bus routes may have to be extended. But right now the organizers are seeking approval for their proposal in principle. H.C.B.E. SUPPORT The cost of the program, if it is accepted by the Canada Employment Re -Entry Branch, has been projected at somewhere between $120,000 and 140,000. But the cost to the Huron County School Board, which has already opted to support the program, will he a maximum of $32,000. The rest of the money will come from the Federal Govern- ment -Employment and Immigration. This program will be an ongoing one if all goes according to plans, but the project organizers will have to re -apply every year for funding.

Adults can take part in school, and we want them to take part." tf
