Extra Care Needed
With School Buses

A highway bulletin has been pub
lished urging special precaution for
school busses. Although this state
has been fortunate in the matter of
accidents in comparison with other
states, school authorities should take
special care in making examinations
of the schools means of travel.
The bulletin points out that it is
the drivers that have taken the
same route and have made the same
stops for many years, that will have
to be careful, as they are so accus-
toned to the trip that they won't
think of any unexpected trains or
other unusual happenings.
The motorists are also warned in
driving behind school buses, to
watch out for stops to pick up or
let out children. Many accidents are
caused by drivers trying to pass the
bus while meeting another car.
