Guest speaker was H. R. Moor. croft, Area Superintendent. ., WE'RE BETTING- It's inconceivable that the federal government wiIl permit those air con- trollers to tie up ail airpiane traffic this close to Christmas. Travel plans for thousands would be disrupted, including those of Members of Parlia- ment returning home. We're betting on a settle- ment of some kind at the last minute or a delaying action. The controlle.rs certaînly picked a good bargaining time though. DELIVERY- The Christmas Greeting Statesman will be published next Tuesday evening and should be in the local mail boxes Wednesday, but it is doubt- ful if those in Toronto will receive theirs before Monday, because mail deliveries will be cut off from Wednesday until Monday. Our apologies to those subscribers in outside areas who have complained of late delivery. The papers are mailed from this office every Wednesday evening. What happens to tiîem affer that is up to Mr~. Kicrans and the staffs. MAIL - While on the subject of nmail delivery, Postmaster George Vice advises that there will be a home delivery this Saturday and household- ers are requested to leave storm doors open s0 the mailmen can place the letters in the mail siots. Last Saturday tbey were unable to deliver mail to quite a few homes because they couldn't get to the mail siots. Y1 SCHOOI, - Children will be out of school on Friday and on the streets until after New Year's. Motorists and snowmobile operators are urged to be particu- larly careful at this tirce of year so the number of accidents will be kept to a minimum. Also, it would be wise to remember the new compulsory breatha- lizer tests if you are thinkîng of celebrating over the holiday season. It would be a shame to spoil a nice Christmas with an impaired driving charge. j.t i BUS PROBLEMS - When high school students being transportedl from Millbrook to Port Hope boycotted the bus they were supposed to ride on, quite a hassle resulted. The students claimed the driver almost involved them in several acci- dents and the driver complained about the students' lack of discipline, including some pett- ing. The bus company manager also got into the act and, unfortunately, used the word obscene when referring to the conduýct of certain stu- dents. The Iwhole affair blew up at a meeting E of Millbrook parents and the bus officiai Monday 1 nizht when the word "ob'scene" was withdrawn 1 with a new understanding of the situation.
