School buses expensive School transportation costs in Ontario totalled $71 million last year, 2.8 per cent of the province's two billion dollar education bud- get. The figure is contained in Interim Report Number Three of the Committee on the Cost of Education, released last week by Education Minister Thomas Wells. The report shows that last year just over 25 per cent of Ontario's 1,456,840 elemen- tary students were transpor- ted to school. Over 29 per cent of the 574,520 secondary school students rode to school on the familiar yellow school buses. While the yellow bus is the most popular mode of stu- dent transportation, some Ontario students reached their classes by snowmobile, boat and swamp buggy. While total elementary school enrolment increased by 293,787 in the past 10 years the number of children riding buses to school jumped by 271,257 in the same period. And, the report states, the greatest increase has not come about because of the consolidation - of smaller schools in rural areas, but in the number of children who are transpor- ted under two miles. The number of students in this category has increased five times since 1962.

Councillor-elect of the new Township of Scugog Donald Frew would like to see this area adopt a set of ethics similar fo those suggested last week by Scarborough Mayor Paul Cosgrove. The set of ethics would prevent members of council from attending parties given by businessmen who may have business to conduct with council, or from accep- ting gifts from them. In a past provincial elect- ion one candidate from this area was later embarrassed to learn that a person who had hosted a party in the politicians honour later had his name linked with an Ss Lb) rem?
