Squirming, Noisy Children Get Out of Hand
At PUG Bus Hearing Attended by Mothers
Chairman UnruffIed,

A bakers dozen of tots took over
the normally sedate proceedings of

Chairman James H. Flanaean

the pandemonium that ensued
when the noise from the children,s
activities resounded through the
District Building board room. The
PUG had planned to conduct the
informal hearing in its own small

Wheeler Terrace, most of them
young mothers with baby-sitter
problems, appeared to testify, Mr..
flanagan was forced to transfer the
nearing to the big board room.
Children Squirm, Wiggle.
AS the residents began explaining
why they need bus service, the chill
dren began to squirm and wigele
AS the hearing participants became
further involved in dignified and
lengthy discussion, the mothers
struggled valiantly to keep their
charges under control. But there
wasn't much they could do.
Despite the tag playing, bawls by

"Mommy, I wanna go home" the
hearing closed with the PUG be-
