  A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England.This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.

  Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school,or sometimes less if special reasons existed.Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead,as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.

  The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School.The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school.But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back,a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.

    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part.Final calculations have still to be carried out,but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than £20 a term.

   They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington.The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children.The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children,to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.

  It was 3.21 a.m.when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.Except for the crackling(爆裂声)of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin,Long Island.

  With his father away on night duty at a local factory,Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,his sister Karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd.He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There,his sister and brother,taking short and quick breaths and coughing,collapsed on the lawn.

  The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs.Kreamer,a victim of the smoke,was unconscious,and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and ,as a fireman said later,“acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”

  On the bedroom telephone,luckily still working,Glenn called his father and,leaving Mr.Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service,got on with the task of saving his mother.

   First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.

    He could hear the fire engine coming up,but how would the firemen find his mother in the smokefilled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?

   Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage,Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room.Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back,laying out the string as he went,through the hall and back out into the garden.

   Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Conghlan:“The string will lead you to mother.”Mrs.Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
