The signed document would then be placed on file. If a cbild misbehaves, there would be sometbing for the board, school and driver to faîl back on. Another possîbility would be monitors on the bus cbosen by the principle. Apparently this bas worked very well in Ajax, said Mrs. Hancock. Bus Patrols? The third alternative would be to give bus patrols greater responsibilities and rewards. If a cbild in the bus acts up, the patrol would mark bis or ber name down in a book.

Mr. Càble plus converter,,, 0 0 Along Highway Two Through Courtice Newcastle council decided iast week that a sidewalk on botb tbe north and south side of Higbway Two will be needed in the Courtice area. The sidewalk would be constructed when ighway Two is widened to four lanes. Jack Dunham, director of public works for the Town of Newcastle, recommended that a sidewaik be constructed on both sides of the higbway from Tlownline Road to Courtice Road (Regioral Road No. 34). To complement the widening of Higbway Two, tbe Ministry of Transportation and Communications proposed tbat a sidewaik be located only on the north side Dunham--said,--with t-he proposed development witbin this section, a sidewalk on the nortb side only would not be sufficient." He argued one on botb sides would ailow better pedestrian movement and safety. "Pedestrians would not need to cross the wide rond as often, for would they be compelled to walk along the boulevard on the south side, as would .be the case i f the Ministry's proposalý was implemented."I The Ministry also recommended a sîdewalk be constructed on tbe north of the bighway from Solina Road to, approximately, Maple Grove Road. Mr. Dunbam pointed out that if a sidewaik was installed there, "it would not lead anywhere. " Also, "'should a sidewnîk be instailed on tbe nortb side only, the residents of the south side would request a sidewalk very shortly thereafter." Council' agreed tbat sidewniks sbould be construct- ed on tbe north side of Higbway No. 2 only, in urban areas east of Courtice Road.
