States School
Bus System Is
Biggest OF Kind
Gaddy Says Drivers Get
Training for Future
Responsibilities
Rv WILLIAM RICHARDSON, Jr.
Tinted Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Jan. II. (UP)-
Driving a school bus may some
dav mean high school credits for
thousands of North Carolina
Youths. Claude f. Gaddy, assist
ant secretary of the North Car
DINA school commission, predict
ed here.
otis Just a theory of mine"
said Gaddy, supervisor of oper-
ations of the state school bus sys-
tenn, which is the largest OF Its
kind in the country. "But some
dav I think it will be true"
Gaddy believes the daily rou-
tine of early rising, driving
school bus through sunshine ana
rain, the intricacies OF keeping
detailed, business-like report
should be rewarded with high
school credit just as classroom
work in mathematics OF English.
Gaddy, now in his thirties, is a
native North Carolinian. AS
youth he attended a country
school, but he never rode TO
school in a bus. Instead he trudg-
ed through miles of muddy roads
in winter and dusty roads in fall.
Upon his graduation from
Wake Forest college he was nam
ed a county school superlntend-
ent. Then, he saw the poor trans
portation facilities provided ru.-
raj school children and resolved
to remedy the situation.
A few years ago he was ap-
pointed to his present position.
Nearly all the drivers of North
Cardinals 1907 school buses arc
Youngsters in their teens, IL
years old and over. They are
paid $6S per year.
"But there's something more to
this job" Gaddy said. "These
clear-headed reliable boys are
the pick of their communities;
they are future business men, fu-
ture civic leaders. They are known
and respected. It's an honor to
drive a school bus.
cts a valuable training for
them. 1t instills habits of regu-
larity. teaches responsibility. 1t
is not child's play.
sometimes | think a boy gets
far more out of driving a bus
four years than out of any regu-
lar high school course. The rec
ords these boys must keep every
day-numher of miles travelled,
number Of children hauIed-make
for regular habits"
No longer antiquated, no long
er hazardous, North Cardinals
bus system now is one of the best
in the United States. Gaddy and
two assistants operate the system,
but majority recognize that Cad
DIV is master of the system which
has been widely advertised for
efficient operation and scarcity
of accidents.
Together these three, each a
college man, carefully go over
equipment, route the buses, de-
sign equipment, supervise the
whole layout in the state.
This is what they must over
see:
1907 buses.
3,9O7 regular drivers and as
many substitutes.
Over 200 mechanics.
Thousands of miles of country
road over which buses travel.
All buses are painted a bright

Respectfully Referred to NBC

It is very easy to stray from
any original purpose, or to be
switched from a main track. For
instance, the National Farm and
Home Hour which was established
to carry farm knowledge and en-
tertainment to the farm folk, has
become largely a period of politi-
cal propaganda. Tune in on the
Farm and Home Hour almost any
day and you will see what l mean.
