Bracken this imorning, Walsh declared his company realised that an emer- gency exists in this area due to the large influx of workers on [the Basic Magnesium plant, and that “We ard glad to take our share of the 1 responsibility for [meeting that emergency. “We are not in the business of I It.ran snorting School children,” he continued.” Ordinarily that’s -a I matter up to the school boards in the district affected. Because of the rapid growth in Midway and j Whitney, we realize this is impossible right now. “We will continue the present service until the end of the pres- ient semester, with the understanding that by fall, the board of education4 will make arrangements to meet the situation, either; through the construction of new schools there or by arranging for their own buses,” he concluded. Members of the board, J. H. Bunch; Leo Thurman and Wellington Rogers expressed themselves as well pleased with the outcome of the negotiations, and said .they expected to have school, facilities reaoy. within the . district,, by nexllfajl! ?' ‘‘ I P* jg ’ .
