Show Lindon Ladies to Petition for School Bus Service This week PTA president Pearl Fowlkc planned to call for an appointment ap-pointment to present a petition to the superintendent of the Alpine School District. The petition will ask for bus service in east Lindon. Since many children have to walk between a mile and a half ami a 'mile and three quarters to school, three women, Betty Manning, Man-ning, Shirley Baxter and Theone Blaine wrote up a petition and secured se-cured the signatures of approximately approxi-mately 50 parents of grade school children who desire bus service for their youngsters. The petition reads as follows: "We as the parents of the Lindon Lin-don School children living east of the highway feel that we should, for the safety of our children, have bus service. There are no sidewalks for our children to walk on therefore there-fore making it necessary to walk at the side of the street. Add to this the danger of being- molested by strangers, and the weather conditions con-ditions in the winter. We feel that we are entitled to the bus service inasmuch as we pay taxes, as well as anyone else. We feel that we are justified in asking for this service." ser-vice." There is bus service in operation opera-tion on tire west side of the highway high-way and children who live within a block of the school are being picked up to ride to school, whereas where-as all children on the east side of the highway, regardless of the distances dis-tances they live from the school, must walk throughout the school year. A committee of six was chosen to visit the superintendent including includ-ing the three women writing the petition. The other women on the committee are Nina Hunter, Eul-ene Eul-ene Hickens and Margaret Holdaway. |
