Three outbursts of anger came as a result of the 'city of Kitchener not sending school patrol members on the Ottawa trip. "They have not sent any- one for a number of years," he stated, "apparently because someone on the board is dom- inantly opposed." They contend that all the patrol members should be treated alike, if they really felt that way, they would also be opposed to awarding scholarships to those students who make the best showing. The school patrol boys and girls who are chosen to make the trips, are also chosen because they have taken a special interest in their patrol work. The cost to send these young- sters on the Ottawa trip is $40 each, for the city of Kitchener to send 40 patrol members, the cost would be $1,600 and surely they can afford that. _23tlr_lhqr, Weekend WEN: Gen Manager Blasts Kitrhener Bill Franklin, General Mana- ger of the Ontario Motor League Waterloo County Auto Club, blasted the city of Kitchener, last week, over their complete lack of interest in promoting Safety Patrol (school) members initiative. s or anger of the 'city of mding school n the Ottawa not sent any-
