SCHOOL BUS Law

With the re-opening Of public
schools in Maryland, and the reap
pearance on the highways Of hum
dreds of school buses, Governor
O'Conor's Maryland Traffic Safety
Committee asks the cooperation of
the public; both motorists and pc
destrains, in the avoidance, through
care, of highway accidents.
Thousands of children will be
travelling on these buses and 1t is
most important that motorists OBJ
serve the laws set apart for the safe
travel OF these conveyances and
the safeguarding of their precious
cargoes.
The public has grown familiar
with the Orange Bus with Black
coloring, designating school buses,
but many motorists may have for
gotten the laws that are applicable
to school buses.
The law states, ''The driver of q
vehicle upon the highway, upon
meeting or overtaking any school
bus which has stopped on the high
ways for the purpose of receiving
or discharging any school child or
children, shall come to a full stop
at least 10 (ten) feet from the
school bus, either in front or rear
thereof, as the case may be, and
such vehicle shall remain stand
ing until the children are received
or discharged and the school bus
has again started"
The students, themselves, also
have an important part to play in
their own safety If they are to re-
ceive the maxium of protection. They
must not take foolish chances, but
must be obedient to the bus driver
in whose care they are placed.
The drivers Of School Buses,
children must realize, have a serious
responsibility, and are pledged to
protect them in every way possible.
Only by obedience to the laws laid
down by the State and School au-
thrities in the part of the children,
can this safety be assured.
In all sections of the State school
children have become aware of the
dangers lurking in motor traffic,
and the Governors Safety Commit
tee is urging them to put into prac-
tise the Traffic Safety measures that
they have learned and thus insure
their own protection from accident.

March 13, 1890; fire started in up
per floor; didn't know how. It was
rebuilt by Harvey Graves in August
of 1890, of stone. The paper lists

PART.TIME CIVILIAN MEDICAL
OFFICERS NEEDED

The expansion of the Army Gre
ates need for about 600 civilian
medical officers in various grades
for temporary and part-time service.
The duties of full-time officers will
be to act as doctors of medicine in
active practise in hospitals, in dis
pensaries, and in the field. The duty
of part-time officers will be to report
for sick call at a fixed hour each day
and to be subject to emergency call
at all times.
The Civil Service Commission In
making this announcement calls
particular attention to the fact that
part-time officers will be able to
continue their regular practise. In
order that this may be done, appoint
ments to the part-time positions will
be made of medical officers in the
vicinity of the place of duty.
Information concerning these
positions may be obtained from the
Secretary of the Board of U. s. Civil
Service Examiners at any first or
second class post office, or from tine
United States Civil Service Commis-
sion, Washington, D. c. Physicians
are urged to apply at once. This
work is of the greatest Importance
to the success of the National De-
fense program.

MOST CHILDREN DIE BY MOTOR
CRASHES IN AUTUMN
SEASON
First Months OF School Most Dam
gerous Days OF Whole Year

With schools throughout the
country reopening at this season of
the year the fact that more child
rem between the ages Of and IA
were killed by motor vehicles in
September or October of 1889 than
in any other months of the school
year assumes grim Importance,
warns the National Conservation
Bureau, accident prevention depart
ment of the Association of Casualty
and Surety Executives.
1--WE face the possibility that, the
same months of 1910 will show the
same increase unless additional child
safety precautions are taken," states
Kenneth N. Beadle, director Of the
Bureaus education division. "A
large proportion of those child
deaths are directly traceable to falil-
ty, insufficient, or even total lack
of child training in the art of recog-
nizing and avoiding traffic hazards. !"
Summer Teachers Courses
'In an effort to overcome this con-
dition, an accident prevention pro-
gram was carried last summer to
10000 teachers in twenty states by
the Education Division of the Ma
tional Conservation Bureau, the Cen
ter for Safety Education at New
York University, and over 20 col
leges and universities. The results
in safety education of the campaign
OF the summer just past far surpass
those of previous years.
Although the whole field of safe
ty education was covered in these
teacher courses. particular emphasis
was laid on traffic hazards. Positive,
not negative. methods of teaching
safety were stressed. The teacher
was shown that the bast approach
to the child is by appealing to the
child's innate desire to excel, in
contrast to the old method of terri
flying him with a grim succession of
'Donts'. The child is taught that in
telligent alertness. plus courtesy and
consideration for the rights of
others are the most sensible of hum
an attitudes. He is shown how to
avoid accidents in much the same
way that a football player is shown
how to eyade the opponents inter-
ference"

AS YOU LIKE THEM

With the "R" months back in
the calendar and oysters is available
again in ways to tempt the most
fastidious appetite on the half
shell, in cocktails, steamed, creamed,
fried, stewed, or as you like them
housekeepers and menu-makers, are
| relieved of some of their food wor-
| ries.
The sanitary supervision Of the
oyster industry is under the charge
of the State Department Of Health
with responsibility for specific phas-
es of the industry divided among
the various bureaus.
With regard to the latter, DR.. r..
H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health explained that
inspections of the oyster-bearing
waters are made by the Bureau of
Sanitary Engineering; chemical and
meteorological examinations of wat
er and of oysters by the Bureau
of Bacteriology; and that general
supervision of the commercial con-
Germs and packing houses is under
the direction of the Bureau of Food
and Drugs.
Because of the wide distribution
of shellfish products from Maryland
concerns, federal requirements for
interstate commerce, as we'll as State
regulations, must be met by the
local establishments. The plants
that meet these requirements, are
duly certified for both State and in
terstate shipments, after inspection
by the State Bureau of Food and
Drugs.
Re-inspections are made at in
tervals by the U. S. Public Health
Service which has authority to can
eel the certificate of any plant which
fails to conform to federal require
ments.
These certificates are for a single
season, only, and must be renewed
each year before the season opens.
In preparation for the season of
194O-41, the proprietors Of oyster
handling houses in Maryland, were
notified during the summer, by Mr..
A. L. Sullivan, Chief of the Bureau
of Food and Drugs, of the require
ments which must be met before
the plants may be certified for the
current year.
Special attention was directed to
the following: Packing rooms must
be screened; provision must be made
for continuous supply of hot water;
shell bins must have proper flooring
with adequate drainage; benches
must be of approved construction;
satisfactory provision must be made
for sterilizing utensils and equip
ment; adequate refrigeration must
be provided; and facilities for hand
washing must be readily available.
Over $500 inspection of oyster
establishments were made by the
Bureau of Food and Drugs during
the season of 1939-40, and 241
plants were certified.

For the child:

For the child:
1. Always cross the street under
the supervision of officers or teach.
er if one is present; always observe
the traffic lights; whether or not
there is traffic signal, always look
both ways before crossing the street
The driver may not be on his job;
you should be on yours.
2. Do not run into the street in
pursuit of ball or playmate with
out first making sure you will be
able to return to the curb safely.
8. Do not annoy drivers by run
ming alongside their cars or darting
in and out of the street without
warning. How would you like to
have motorists make game of try
ing to drive as close as possible to
you without knocking you down?
For the motorist:
/. Beginning today, observe all
SCHOOL signs. During the summer
you may have acquired the habit Of
ignoring these signs; break it now.
2. Children especially young
children, are liable to do the unex-
pected; they act first and think
afterward. When you have to drive
past a child playing near the street,
slow down. He may dart out in front
of your car.
8. Be especially observant of park
ed cars. In addition to the fact that
a parked car is as much an abstruc-
ton to visibility as blind corner,
many children customarily play in
and about parked cars.
