Mr. Goode following the introduction of Mr. Munro to the council, said a complete survey had been made and emphasized the Board was not in agreement with a Safety Patrol Program for 7A High- way.

To substantiate his statement, Mr. Goode told council, constable Ed Laas of the Whitby Detach- ment of OPP, who had taken part in the' survey was in agreement with the Board on this question. When council questioned the radical difference of opinion between the Depart- ment and the Board, Mr. Goode explained, they had no objection to the Safety Patrol as such, but it was just not suitable for 7A. The Director of Education, Kenneth Munro re-iterated Mr. Goode's statement about the obvious danger for child- ren to patrol Highway 7A. In his opinion, it would be | preferable and a great deal safer for the children to patrol | Queen Street. He said the traffic on Queen Street would be slower and the fact most of it would be of local nature would be an advantage, because resid- ents would be aware of the children and more conscient- ious about adhering to rules and regulations. Following a discussion aris- ing from the fact there are three possible streets and lo- cations where crossing guards could become necessary on Highway 7A, namely Arrow, Ottawa and Simcoe Streets, counell decided to go along to institute a Gafety Patrol) Program on Queen Street and with the proposal of the Board | the present crossing |guard on Queen to Highway | 7A, at least for a few months trial period. es and rural youth, ages 12 to 15.
