Santelman said that he thought one approach might be to begin any such program with offerings for Cotter students in areas where instruction is not now given such as in industrial arts and vocational courses or where a more or less minimal program exists. HE SAID HE thought that in physical education some problems might develop with numbers of students to be transported. Father McCauley replied that perhaps if transportation costs appeared to be excessively high Cotter could continue to conduct its physical education program.

His two sirens and three flashing red lights were on, Praxel said; and both east- and west-bound traffic was pulling over to let him pass. Suddenly a truck driven by Bambenek, also moving west, pulled from the right-hand lane to the left-hand lane in front of Praxel.

The red-clad gentleman's vis Franklin Tillman asked whether the Cotter board anticipated any problem involving transportation of students to the new high school since its site hasn't been determined and could conceivably be in the fringe area of the city. "Basically, our proposal is concerned with education," the Very Rev. Msgr. James D.

Habiger, superintendent of schools for the Catholic diocese of Winona and pastor of St. John's Church here, said, "and transportation would be a secondary issue. We could contract for transportation and this, like scheduling and other matters, would be things to be worked out after you have selected a site." Nelson asked whether the Cotter board was thinking of having Cotter students grouped together in classes they would attend at Senior High. Members of the delegation said they could see no reason for not mixing students although the Rt. Rev.

No home, Bambenek said, and thought it was now safe to make his left turn. As he did so, he heard the ambulance slam on its brakes behind him, Bambenek said. He was "shook up" and thought it would be better to continue his left turn rather than swerving back to the right-hand side of the road.

He admitted that he was wrong not to have checked his rear-view mirrow before making his turn. Judge McGill said that he was imposing a minimum fine because Bambenek had not intentionally blocked Praxel's right of way. However, he admonished Bambenek to be more careful. The fine was satisfied out of $25 posted bail. Whitehall, Pigeon Falls Gun Club Picks Slate WHITEHALL, Wis.

SADOWKSrS suggestion that St. Matthew's and St. Martin's Lutheran School officials should be consulted to determine whether they might be interested in any type of shared time program (this would apply only at the junior high level) also met with approval. Santelman raised the question of finances, noting that as part-time students, Cotter pupils attending the public schools would not be counted in the determination of certain state aids.

"There are other communities that have this same problem and I think we probably should contact them and see if we can't stimulate some interest and support for legislation that would bring us some relief here," Santelman said. The Most Rev. George H. Speltz, auxiliary bishop of the Winona diocese and pastor of St. Mary's Church here, said he felt that transportation posed one of the major problems in the proposed program and was hopeful that consideration could be given in site selection to reducing this problem to the greatest extent possible, if the shared time program were to was driving south on Cen ter Street and Georgianna creased student load although this figure cannot be firmly established until a detailed study of enrollments has been port administration building.

It's certainly understandable that you might feel it necessary to make some adjustments in this program. "I also look on this as a noble experiment," he continued, "an experiment in coming together in Winona on an educational venture. We presented this proposal tonight because we didn't want you to be in the darkness on what we were considering and if you feel there should be some adjustments we will understand that." Acknowledging that the Cotter group "also has some selfish interest in this," Bishop Speltz said that private schools are finding it increasingly difficult financially to expand secondary school facilities to keep up with swelling enrollments.

This isn't a problem now because Winona's band doesn't participate In contests. The Cotter students would be able to play with the band at events not under league sponsorship. Fourth Ward Director Daniel Sadowski asked who would be responsible for discipline under a dual registration program.

Nelson said he felt that discipline would be the responsibility of the Senior High staff while the Cotter students were in the public school building but that reports of any disciplinary measures should be reDorted to the Cotter administration.
