6 The Canadian Statesmnan, Bowmianville, September 19, 1979 Section Two Cel ebrates lOlat Birthday at Marnwood Nursing Home Parents Concerned Over Bridge In Hampton A broken bridge in Hampton may make it difficult for students to walk to the Hampton Junior Public School this winter. At last week's meeting of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education, Ward One trustee Sid Worden brought to the Board's attention the condition of the bridge across the Hampton Mill Pond on Mill St. Mr. Worden said that the bridge bas been closed to traffic because it is no longer safe. While the structure can be used by students walking to the school, Mr. Worden said that parents are. concerned about the bridge being closed in winter. This means that children would either have to walk a very long distance to school or else, they would require transportation by bus. - Mr. Worden said that he understands. a meeting involvîng the school board, Conservation Authority and Town of Newcastle will be called in order to solve the problem.

School bus operators will receive a 3.5 per cent rate increase from Spetember to December and a three Der cent increase for the remain- der of the schoolyear begin- ning in January of 1980. The new rates for buses were released following a meeting of the Northumber- land and Newcastle Board of Education in Cobourg last Thursday. Doug Ga It, Chair- man . of the Board's transpor tation committee, said that the school board bas close to 200 buses operating on routes within its jurisdiction. Under the terms of the agreement, the School Board will also absorb costs of installing stop-arms on buses owned by operators who chose to upgrade their 1979 vehicles. one classroom in the Central Public School, Bow- manville. is being converted to a kindergarten and a second classroom at this sehool will be turned into a library., Trustees were informed last week that work on the kindergarten classroom was substantially finished and the room was already occupied. The library is approximately 60 per cent finished, and completion date is September 24, said D. W. Patterson, Superintendent of special services. In a written report to the Board, Mr. Patterson also pointed out that the new Waverley Public School will be totally completed in early October.

The school board is considering a special prograrn on safety for children as one of its International Year of -the Child pro jects. It is proposed to confine the project to the fall term and expenses which arise could be covered by the special Inter- national Year of the Child Fund established by the School Board. "Such a program would involve discussions and contri- butions from local representa- tives of the Health Unit, Fire Department, OPP, etc." said the board's special committee for the International Year of the Child. The Northumberland New- castle school system will continue its !present policy of ordering stationery with iden- tification for individual schools., At their meeting last week, trustees were told that a standard letterhead could be ordered at a price of $28 per thousand if a minimum of 10,000 sheets were purchased. At present, letterheads for individual schools cost $45 per thousand for secondary schools and $35 for elementary schools. Several sehool trustees pointed out that even though a small amount of money would be saved by providing universal letterheads, it would be a _good idea for sehools to keep their individual identity by having individual letter- heads. A package of benefits for school administrators and teachers has been approved by the school board. Board Chairman Andy Thompson said the benefit plan, is basically the same as last year's benefits package but it will now be administered by the Board. Fitness. it gives much more than it takes.
