Eisenhower's Plan Gets

The Minister oi Education. Hon. Keir Clark, yesterday released the new safety regulations. passed at a recent meeting of the Executive Council. regarding school vehicles and operators with respect to the van service policy of the govern- ment in transporting students from one school district to another.

The policy of transporting stud- ents was instituted almost forty years ago. and continued in a gen- eral manner until 1954 when an en- iarged policy was instituted which envisaged the transportation of greater numbers of Grades IX and X students from one room rural schools to larger centres.

At the present time approximat- ely as van services are in operation throughout the province. providing

service for approximately 470 stud- cats from all grades.

The regulations are designed to establish a better and more uni- form method of transportation with primary emphasis being placed on safety.

PRECAUTIONS

Under these regulations each Board of Trustees operating a veh- icle for the transportation of pupils is required to take every reason- able precaution to ensure the safe- ty, comfort, and convenience of the students using this means of get- ting to school.

Each driver emplqed in this

iwork must comply with the provis-

ions of the Highway Traffic Act. He shall not have been convicted
