The pupils reportedly must walk to Dundas Street School along Highway 2, pass- ing under the railway overpass in the face of heavy traffic. The students reside east of Ander- son street. The spokesman for the group, Roy Beckman, stated approxi- mately 60 children were in- volved. The children require either sidewalks to provide ade- quate safety or, a bus should be employed to take them to and from school, he explained. The problem rests partially with the local school board, the spokesman agreed. He question- ed council on the purchasing of an easement representing the continuation of Mary street. "The children would avoid the traffic problem entirely by tak- ing this route," he said, PLAN WALK Mayor Warren Mowat stated it was truly a school board problem in regard to the bus, however, the sidewalks are a town problem. "We intend to install a sidewalk along this stretch of the highway but this may not develop until 1966 or 1967," he said. Regarding the easement, the Mayor explained, a more seri- ous problem could arise. The children would be forced to cross over a creek -which oft times is badly flooded. In addi- tion, the suggested re-routing would take the pupils through very rough land which in the end would be very unsatisfac- tory. Councillor George Bevan Parents Complain Of Danger Spot culture Statutory Grant, $500; | suggested the creek would pre- sent a very definite hazard South Home and School Asso- ciation held its March meeting during "Education Week."

Taking a different tack, Coun- cillor Tom Edwards suggested the children could. be kept away from school in order to bring the school board around to pro- viding transportation. "You cannot force the school board to provide transportation," he advised. The councillor further stated the board is allocating a sizable amount of money in its budget this year for purpose of trans- porting children to school, 'I fail to see why they cannot pro- vide transportation in this case," he said. The councillor also suggested high school buses be rerouted to pick up the pupils. Unable to offer any solid satisfaction, the council ad- vised the delegation to appear before the school board with their problem, 'That is the place for something. of this nature,"" Mayor Mowat stated.
