Yol. I6 No. 43 October 3I, 1973 I5¢ Per Copy TERRACE BAY COUNCIL QUOTES . Before the actual meeting procedure of Township Council on October 23rd, Mrs. Linda Wills and Mrs. Leslie Samp verbally expressed their views to Council concerning a large 'hole that has been dug next to the Wills residence. Their main concern was with the children playing in this area and to try and avoid a serious accident before it occurred, especial- ly with the winter season shortly upon us. Mrs. Wills stated she had been in touch with Kimberly-Clark about this problem and felt she was just getting "the run around", which is why she brought the problem to the town. The minutes of the previous council meet- ing were then approved as submitted. Business arising from these minutes concerned the con- flicting letters received from the Ministry of the Environment and Council will ask for an. extension of time tc upgrade the land fill area.

Under the program, called Ontario Young Travellers, grade 7 and 8 classes can apply for cash subsidies that will assist students, teachers and adult chaperones to spend at least two days in the provincial capital. To qualify, schools must be north of a line running from Mattawa through Callander and along the French River. The subsidies are for transportation only; visiting classes will have to pay for accommodation, meals and admissions. Mr. Wells said that Toronto was selected not only because it is the provincial capital, but also because it offers the greatest con- centration of educational and cultural facil- ities in Ontario. "About 8C percent of Ontario pupils have relatively easy access to these resources," Mr. Wells said. "The Young Travellers program is for the 20 percent who don't." 2 The subsidies are kased orn the estimated bus transportatior costs from the schocl to Toror.to. As an example, & Thunder Bay class of 32 and three adults visitirg Torontc, a I,700 mile round trip, would receive a suk- sidy of akout $I,800. The same size group visiting. from Kapuskas- ing, a I,070 mile round trip, would receive about $800.00.
