To Improve School
transportation
Continued from FIRST page)

School Officers, U. s. Office of Edu-
cation, American Association of
School Administrators, and the
NEA Department of Rural Educa-
tiOn were joint sponsors.
Conference leaders agreed that
recommendations drafted by the
group will give the nations 10000
school bus drivers several new as
signments similar to the home
work" and report cards" they hear
discussed daily by their student
passengers.
VIDE variations among the states
concerning qualifications, licensing
and training of school bus drivers
were revealed in results of a ma
tlon-wide survey presented toe the
conference.
Examples of leniency revealed in
the report show that in one state
children IA years of age may legal
ly operate school buses; 10 states
provide no special licenses for
school bus drivers; in SO states
school bus drivers do not have to
know anything about first aid
areatment in case of accident or
other emergency; and six states
allow persons to drive school buses
without first having them show that
they know how to start, steer, and
stop a motor vehicle.
Standards and training programs
for school bus drivers endorsed bv
the conference include a minimum
of 16 years for school bus drivers
and physical examination at least
once a year for all drivers. Other
standards recommended pertain to
character, emotional stability, ex-
perience, training, skill require
ments, and special licenses for dri-
Vers.
Flashing red lights now used for
such emergency vehicles as ambu-
lanceS and fire engines would be-
come regular equipment on the ma
tiOn's school buses if the 48 states
Milford chronicle., 1948-10-22

adopt a new provision endorsed by
the conference.
The new standard provides for
two red rear lights and two red
or amber front lights. Front and
rear lights would flash alternative
ly at a rate between so and 12O
times per minute. The recOmmen-
datiOn, which is designed to make
it safer for loading and unloading
the five million school children who
are transported to school daily,
will be submitted to the individual
states for consideration.
Engineers of the automotive in
dustIy, safety cOnsultants, and
transportation officers from state
education departments developed
provisions for the new standard.
A uniform system of warning
lamps for school buses, it was
pointed out, will reduce confusion
for interstate motorists. Fourteen
states now use either one or two
flashing lights on their buses.
Also endorsed by the conference
is a provision requiring the drivers
of all vehicles to stop when meet
ing or Overtaking a school bus
which has stopped on the highway
to receive or discharge school chill
dren.
Construction standards for school
buses were amended by the con-
ference to permit the use of COM
bustion-type gasoline heaters. I'm
der former standards only hOt-wa-
ter heaters were endorsed.

REPUBLICANS, BEWARE OF OVER-C CONFIDENCE! !!
In view of the overwhelming sentiment
in favor of Governor Dewey's election as
President and the reports of the various polls
pointing decisively in that direction, the
apathy of many voters toward the current
campaign is understandable
But it is dangerous.
Over-cOnfdence on the part of his sup
pOrters is probably the most formidable fac
tor with which Mr.. Dewey must contend be-
tween now and election day: the feeling held
by many that Dewey is in anyhow, so what
difference does it make?"
No one is in until the votes. are counted,
and it is only votes cast at the polls that can
put him in.
Mr.. Dewey, it is true, looks to be the win
ner. But that is predicated on the assump-
tiOn that those who now favor his candidacy
will actually cast their votes for him. If
enough of them carry their present lassitude
and Indifference to the point of remaining
away from the polls, he could lose.
The November election will also decide
the control of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives. It is highly desirable that Mr..
Dewey, as President, shall have a working
majority of his own party in both chambers.
But the margin in the Senate is so small that
Democratic victories in a handful of states
would give that party control. For that rea-
son an OutpOuring of Republican votes is es-
pecially necessary in Delaware.
1t bOils down to this A Dewey-Republi-
can victory cannot be taken for granted. 1t is
not "in the bag" 1t still remains to be won.
To that end it is imperative that voters
abandon their apathy and work hard for
Republican success right up to the moment
Of casting their votes for Dewey on election
day.

THE SYSTEM CALLED CAPITALISM
An international organization of churches
has gone On'recOrd as being opposed to COM
muniSm on the one hand, and what it calls
"laissez-faire capitalism" on the other hand.
The system which it holds out as the ideal
seems to be a middle-Of-the-rOad socialism,
much like that which the Labor government
has been putting into effect in England,
1t may be that mild form of socialism
has theoretical. appeal Certainly, no one
can oppose the goal of greater economic Sc
curity for all people But the harsh fact is
. that every step in the direction of total gov
ernment, no matter how short it may be
lnltlally, makes the next step inevitable. That
is happening in England, where form of
forced labor is now in effect. When a man
cannot change his job without the permis-
sion OF the state, and when the state becomes
a mass employer, there is nothing to protect
the people from ultimate dictatorship. The
fact that Mr.. Attlee and his leaders are men
of good will is not the point They will be
followed by other men, and the government
is deliberately building up the powers which
prepare the way for man on a white horse
for Hitler or a MussOlini.
No intelligent man denies that there are
faults in the capitalist system But the big
thing to remember is that the faults con-
stantly become fewer and are possible of
correction by the people. No other system
ever placed in practice has shown so great a
capacity for self-improvement. And no other

system has given the masses of the people a
tithe as much in the way of material bene-
fits and luxuries.
The remarkable thing about capitalism is
that, while creating unequaled material val
ues, it has protected and nurtured the spirit
ual values. We take free speech, the free
press, freedom of religion and the other
basic freedoms for granted. If we lived in
most of the other countries of the world, how
ever, they would seem to be unattainable and
visionary ideals. TOtalitarian economics al
ways goes hand in hand with totalitarian
methods in all phases of a nations life
Every day we read of refugees from
abroad finding haven in America. No other
nation holds out so great hope to the Op-
pressed and the underprivileged. And the
system of economics we call capitalism
which is simply name for private property,
private initiative, private enterprise-is the
rock on which our strength and our liberties
are founded. Religious organizations that
wish to remain free had better awaken to
this fact.

GOOD NEWS

Some encouraging news for oil users has
come from the Oil Industry Information
Committee. The heavy gasoline consuming
season has drawn to close, and the oil COM
panles are now engaged in meeting a winter
demand for fuel oils which is expected to
reach record proportions. The Committee
says: coil companies everywhere have brOk-
en- all production records . and, barring
unforeseen circumstances, will continue to
do so this winter"
The figures concerning oil use are enough
to make the head swim. Domestic fuel de-
mands are more than double the prewar level,
and 20 per cent over last year. This means
that these oils are being consumed at the
rate Of 41,000,000 gallons every day of the
year. And our consumption of all petroleum
products averages close to 25O,OO0,OOO gal
Ions daily.
Record demand is not confined to gaso-
line and to oils for heating systems. The
domestic demand for kerosene, for instance.
has increased by almost 70 per cent since
l94l, due largely to the wider use of space
heaters of various kinds.
One cheering development has been i'm
prOvement in the transportation situation
including tank cars, pipelines, and barges.
II. isn't as good as it will be in the future,
but the transportation problem is expected
to be less acute than last winter.
All in all, it looks as if oil demand and
oil supply are coming into balance. If con-
SumerS will use reasonable conservation
methods, they will save themselves money
and they will help to prevent shortages and
dislOcatiOns.

MEATS AND HOMES

Some people are unable to buy as much
meat as they would like. Some people cannot
build homes because of record prices for labor
and supplies. During the depression steers
on the hOOf sold for as little as six cents a
pound, and hogs went for three cents. There
were people then who could not buy meat or
build homes, even at rOck-bOttOm prices
Then, as now, supply and demand were the
controlling factors in establishing prices
and it is always true that families in the
lower income brackets are constantly con-
frOnted with the problem of how to make
both ends meet.
Wages and employment are at record
levels This has generated a tremendous de-
mand for meat. The supply of meat has not
kept up with that demand. Last year the feed
crops were relatively short. AS a cOnse-
qUence livestock numbers were reduced. The
marketing of beef cattle in 1948 has run we'll
below the level of 1947 The point is that
for several years we have been eating our
beef cattle faster than we have produced
them. Meat animals aren't machines that
can be swiftly made in any desired quantity
on production line. 1t takes months and
years to ready stock for market, and no eff
ficiency expert has found short cut. When
demand tends to be greater than the supply,
high prices are inevitable.
A reimpOsitiOn of price controls would
discourage production, and probably bring
about an acute meat shortage Much of the
available meat would be diverted into the
black market. And the lower income con-
sumers would be worse off than ever.
Increased meat production is necessary.
1t will come eventually. In the meantime,
supply and demand establish the prices at
which meat is sold in our free market, and
1t is folly to blindly condemn farmers, pack
ers or anyone else.
