The future of the bus will be decided tonight when the bus committee meets in the conference room of the Municipal Center at 7. More than half of the budget for the bus had been spent as of September, less than halfway through the budget year, Daniel Brosnan, town finance officer, said the committee will consider a number of ways to keep the bus going.

Two of: the ideas suggested are to cut some of the runs from the schedule or to use a smaller, more fuel -efficient van, Brosnan said. selectmen budgeted $18,000 for the bus from Jan. 1,1980, to June 30, 1981, but as of the end of September, nine months into the 18-month budget, about $13,000 had been spent. Vermont ETV Expands Service on Transmitters BURLINGTON Vermont ETV soon will have full week service on all four of its transmitters, according to general manager Hope Green, "The project to put three of our four transmitters on remote control has been completed," she said, "and since operating costs will be lower, we think it's time to offer a full service to the whole state." The extended hours, which begin Saturday, Dec. 6, bring weekend daytime programming to areas served by the Rutland, St.

Johnsbury and, Windsor transmitters as well as the Manchester, Bennington and Wilmington translators. They will sign on at 9 a.m. I instead of the present 5 p.m. taking this step despite our Ms. Green pointed out, "in the belief that viewers will give us the financial support to continue the extra Under the.

new remotecontrolled transmission system, channel 33 on Mount Mansfield is operated from ETV's Winooski studio. Channels 20 and 28 are operated from the only manned transmitter site on Mount Ascutney, which broadcasts the signal for Windsor's channel 41. Parent Group Will Meet On Dec. 10 BROOKLINE "Parents With A Purpose" will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec.

10, at the home of Beverley Bates in Newfane. The group held its last monthly meeting on Nov. 17 in Brookline. The. group is composed of parents and interested members of the community who work to support parents of children with special needs.

It is open to people from the Brattieboro, West River Valley and surrounding areas. For information or help, call 365-4481 or 348-7956. Operators at Winooski and Windsor monitor electronic equipment that constantly provides feedback from the remote sites. That equipment tells the operator about the quality of the television signal and controls other functions like stabilizing building temperature and de-icing antennas. University of Vermont trustees voted in June to allow ETV to borrow $125,000 to install the remote control system as an alternative to cutting back service on the Retland and St.

Johnsbury channels. Original transmission equipment installed in 1967 has become obsolete, however, and ETV will be requesting funds from the state legislature in the coming sessions to replace it. New transmission equipment will be compatible with the remote-control equipment.

In the action, some 1,500 women surrounded the Pentagon and those arrested, some 75 women, were charged with blocking the Pentagon entrances in acts of civil disobedience, Ms. Kilroy said. About 70 of the women arrested were released on Thanksgiving eve, but five others were given 30-day sentences and remain in jail, according to Ms. Kilroy.

On the previous day, a conference consisting of workshops on women's subjects was held in a Washington area junior high school. The subjects included "women and racism" and women and "health care." What was accomplished by the Pentagon action? Ms.

Kilroy said, "I now know the 40 women I was in prison with. Being in jail together strengthened us as a movement. Hopefully we made women aware that they can be heard. It is obvious that we mean business. The courts are taking us seiously.

The Pentagon is taking us seriously." The demonstration was organized following the "Women and Life on Earth" conferences last spring. Another similar action is being planned for Mother's Day, Ms. Kilroy said.
