Woodstock Pupils Ride Red Bus to Cowra High
Wood district parents and the CWA backed a school transport service from Carcoer to Cowra High. The service showed a last year profit of 2/3 and a loss of 2/13/8 at different routes, prompting a small subscription increase. Organiser J. T. Goodacre sought support to balance the deficit, which was readily endorsed. The service is seen as meeting a clear need and its continued operation is forecast for many years.
