Excuse Pupils | At Don Mills TORONTO (CP)--A' group of parents has had their 42 chil- dren excused from religious training at Overland Public School in suburban Don Mills. One of the parents, who asked her name not be used, said Wednesday: "We should have done this a year ago. It took six months of the school board's ineptitude on the matter to make us decide to act and act fast." Last year parents attempted to have religious education re- moved from pubhe schools in the area; Arnold Carlaw, school princi- pal, was presented with a state- ment by the parents asking for the exemptions 'quietly and without fuss," the woman said. It stipulated the exemptions be granted after Christmas vaca- tion.
