ctmider lettering biflato we think that most citizens will agree with council there is a problem of loiter- irtg on the streets in the downtown area we also feecertain there are sorne citi- zens wfutvvill agree with gs that coun cils passing of an antiloitering bylaw will not core the problem the aspect that perhaps bothers us most in the pro posed legislation is that while the by law will be all encompassing the obvious intention is that it will be selective in its application it is our contention that any law passed applies to all equally without fear or favor laws passed which are not enforced or enforceable soon are conveniently for gotten but remain as law the passing and retention of this type of law lowers citizens respect for all law and govern ment it is quite possible and most prob able that the present problems arising from loitering can be dealt with through enforcement of laws presently on the law books the passing of the loitering bylaw could eliminate the visiting outside the post office the after church conversa tion and the waiting outside stores while one member of the family does the shopping and even postcouncil meeting discussions we hope that the proposed bylaw will be veryseriously considered before its final passing or we will find that we have created many additional problems in the attempt to eliminate one knicetf tfejenjej juccejj how old

that is taking on or discharging passen gers but the inconvenience is worth while it was always with some fear that vve used to pass a stopped school bus as we approached from the opposite dir ection there was always the possibility of someone darting out ft never hap pened but there was always that pos- libility now vehicles must stop when a school bus has stopped to take on or discharge passengers there is some concern the law is not generally known but in our local driving weve not en countered any uncertainty vehicles both ways have been stopping it is possible the school bus

responsibility they control those commanding flashing lights and if children are to pass across the road the lights have to be kept going until this trip is safely accomplished agairvwe have not noticed any problem in this regard in this area and motorists too seem anxious to give the students every opportunity to complete a safe crossing which is as it should be and students have a responsibility too not to poke around in their board ing and leaving as well as in their cross ing of the roads living up to the new law provides its inconveniences but it more import antly contributes a safety measure that is highly desirable motorists bus driv ers arjd students will all play a role in the successful observance of the law and the protection it offers to young lives for more than christmas and new years to be added what is probably more surprising is that the time of the average is not great er since some also have three and four week vacation periods then there are
