Labor body to confer with board on school delay in Waterloo
The Central Labor body appointed a three member committee to meet with Ren. F. Swisher of the school board over the postponement of West Waterloo schools. They oppose the delay, blaming an infantile paralysis scare, and discuss a shift toward free textbooks as talks continue. Officials note no child is kept from school due to book costs.
