A Transpor- tation Committee meeting was held in advance of the regular monthly - School Board meeting Tuesday night in the Senior High [School library. The problem was already being studies before a number of residents voiced their concern. Leon Emman- uel holder of ‘bus contracts was pre- Wt He and William A. Austin, to- gether with Alton Whittaker, chair- man of transportation committee conferred. Permission for a possible change of routing was voted by the board. Extension of any existing route, or addition of a bus, would be reflected in higher cost to the system, explain- ed Dr. Robert A. Mellman, superin- tendent. Experimentation will be carried "out to see if a reasonable solution can be reached. In reply to a report that students were seen ‘smoking on the buses, Dr. Mellman stated that this is a matter for ‘expulsion, Tt occurs usually on buses that are .overcrowded, where the driver cannot see students at.the back of the bus. Last year, a cigarette butt started a fire. It was brought out by a wisitor that the bus driver has the lives of the children in his hands, and must pay close attention to the road, Hav- ing a teacher ride each bus would be the solution, Dr. Mellman: said, if it were - possible to arrange it. It would be desirable also to hold down the high school students to. smaller loads. Austin said he was all against piting as many high school students ia bus as elementary students, be- cause they take up more room, and crowding leads to undesirable be- havior. ( ! STADIUM TO BE DEDICATED The track, which was to have been id this summer, will not be ready this season, Dallas Township sup- ervisors having found it impossible to assign equipment for the purpose. Football season is a poor time to lay track. It will be constructed in the spring. Mrs. Steinhauer’s suggestion that water be supplied for the Little Lea- gue snack stand, was referred to Building and Grounds. William Wright, chairman of ath- letics, announced plans for dedicat- ion of the new stadium, just. before the football game with Lake-Lehman September 22, the first home game on the new field. y Jack Stanley, Building and Grounds, reported that the danger- ous curve at Westmoreland school was being gentled, with vision and driving conditons much mproved.
