During the war years he had a particularly busy time when workers in war plants were travelling in large nuxnbers and at ail hours.

After the war Clare returned to the Bobeay- .geon run and his father con.. tinued to opeIrate the No. 3 Highway run until his death. SThough a large nuaiber ai students along the hlghw.sy to the west and on tihe Scugog rua had used the buses as transportation to high school ln Bowmanviile, it was net until a few years ago that this was done on s contract basia -under the new set-up of the .District High School Area.
