students watch as school bus passes by at 8 am today Bus Just Keeps Rolling Along Parents in Jensen subdivision who Thursday refused to allow their children to walk a busy highway to school have met with little success in their efforts to get transportation facilities The parents are disputing sev several � eral points of school board policy regarding transportation of stu students � dents to and from school The families concerned live about two miles from Vanway school and are under existing board policy ineligible for bus transportation to school The point we are trying to make is not the distance the children have to walk Chris Postma father of three said Its the fact that they have to walk on the highway Mr Postma said several school buses pass the children every day and they are never filled The children live within the three - mile walking limit and therefore cannot use school bus facilities Mr Postma said the situation became impossible when the school went on shift this year Part of a solution might be to put all the children concerned in the afternoon shift Mr Postma suggested This way at least one person could drive them like last year The Jensen subdivision father

appearance Tills was a comment by Prince Geoige insurance agent Glen Barton Cariboo director of the BC In Insurance � surance Agents Association on a statement that a beat le halted young man would pay mote foi car Insuiance than a clean cut intelligent -look ing man of the same age The statement was made before the Royal Commis Commission � sion investigating car in insurance � surance in Victoria Mr Barton believes that the statement was misinter misinterpreted � preted because I know the man who it is credited toand it would be different from his usual view point Mr Barton said agents will sit down with an appli applicant � cant and talk about him From his deportment the agent draws his conclusion Long hair a hot rod or fast sports car under 25 and possibly an accident would put the applicant Into the assigned risk category Mr Barton said If we were not selec -tlve in this manner we would not be doing the public a service he said pointing out that higher premiums sometimes force a greater responsibility on the Insured driver DRIVER INJURED IN FATALITY A 64-year-old Prince George man lay dead beside First Ave for several hours late Saturday and early Sunday the

spokesman for British Columbia insurance agents said Tuesday Justin Harbord of Victoria speaking for the BC Insurance Agents Association was testify lng at the royal commission investigation into car Insurance Speaking of the insurance in dustrys assigned risk pool where drivers with poor records can obtain insurance but at much higher premiums than drivers with better records he said the young man with the Beetle haircut goes into the assigned risk regardless of his accident record Another young man with the same driving record and of the same age but cleancut and Intel ilgent looking does not belong on assigned risk said Mr Hsrbord Some companies he said will not Insure a young driver unless his family is in a business that buys insurance from the com pany Other firms simply will not insure any driver under 25 while others will not insure anyone over 65 While the assigned risk plan means high premiums he added the plan has been losing money in recent years and Is subsidized by the insurance industry He said government action in asking Insurance companies to be more tolerant in putting driv some drivers they usually have turned down he said Mr Harbord also suggested to the commission that cut rate car Insurance for members of auto mobile clubs should be forbidden by law The same applies to car salesmen selling Insurance poll cies he said He said the auto clubs sell Insurance only to their best drivers giving them a special rate and this means the poorer drivers are left to pool their risks In another plan The end result Is higher overall premi urns he said The current practice of car salesmen soliciting the Insur ance of car buyers should be forbidden he said because a car salesman is not able to render the service a qualified insurance agent can and is not qualified to receive an applica tlon which becomes part of the insurance contract The commission hearing con tlnues today Rhgllil quire MOBILE HOMES Mile 6 Hart Hiwoy Phone 962 9292 ti i n nt MONTH ID
