PROGRESS Being made IN CAMPAIGN FOR
IMROVED SAFETY OF SCHOOL BUSES

| endorsement from county anC
state funds can be made only FOL
approved school buses. 1t is up to
the school district to see that their
buses are approved. The inspection OF
school buses is authorized by chapter
1873 and 267 of the Laws of the 3Oth
Legislative Assembly.
Safety Regulations Adopted
School bus regulations have been
adopted by the State Board of Edu-
cation upon recommendation by the
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton. These regulations follow those
recommended by the National Safety
Council and now in force in every
state of the Union with minor local
notifications.
1t is interesting to note that out
of 500 school buses inspected one
bus was not equipped with a wind
shield wiper while 80 had unsatis-
factory windshield wipers and 513
were satisfactory. One alarming stu
alton was brought out when three
school buses were not equipped with
brakes. 81 had unsatisfactory brakes
while $50 had satisfactory brakes.
One bus was not equipped with
heater, 81 did not have emergency
doors, Sc had no flags nor flares,
II carried no tools, were not equip
ped with rear lights, were not
equipped with headlights, 1876 had no
turn indicator, 21 were not equip
ped with defrosters, SO had no First
Aid Kits.
Miss Condor stated that "only
the cooperation of local
districts with the Highway Depart
ment and the State Department Of
Public Instruction can we expect to
have all school buses on the roads of
Montana efficient and safe for our
children to ride. We are making
and we hope that the inspec-
Jon next spring will show that all of
our buses are safe"

| In report recently issued by Mary
M. Condor, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, various interest
ing items were brought out concern
ing our Montana school transporta-
ton system.
K w. Bergan, Supervisor of
School Transportation, reported that
school bus inspection by the High
way Patrol has resulted in a very
great decrease in the number of de-
| fective buses and equipment. He re-
ported that 400 buses were inspect
ed in 1948 with 3,447 deficiencies
found in the buses. This was 8.4 de-
ficiencies per bus. In 1850, 500 buses
were inspected. 2,189 deficiencies
were found or 81 deficiencies per
bus. This is distinct reduction and
certainly proves the advisability of
regular and efficient bus inspection.
Among the items found to be de-
ficient during this inspection are
batteries, windshields, windshield WHIP
ers, stop signal arms, headlights,
outside mirrors, generators, color,
service door, oil guage, gas guage,
defrosters, First Aid XIII fire ex-
brakes, heaters, emergency
doors, flags G. flares, gasoline tank,
etc.
Regular Inspections
Miss Condor reported that school
buses are inspected regularly by the
Highway Patrol. Each school district
having buses receives a complete re-
port of all the things that are fav-
orable and unfavorable about the
and operation of each |
Ous. Corrections are to be made by |
he school district at once. A re-
by the patrolmen to show
hat the defect has been corrected |
S made shortly thereafter.
Miss Condor reported that Mr..
3ergan in conjunction with the High
way Patrol has also held several
schools for bus drivers the past year.
These proved very effective in teach
ng school bus drivers just what care
. school bus should have and also
the proper rules and regu-
ations for the correct driving and
conduct in school buses.

already been returned. When
enough are in, FAC will pub
lish them in book form and
viii make copies available to
all breeders.
The initial aim of FAC is to
gather information useful to
animal breeders in countries
where the environment places
definite limitations on live
stock production Such breed
ers must decide not only which
method Of breeding they will
use, but in the case of bringing
in new blood, which type or
types Of cattle to introduce.
This information will help
, 1950-01-26

Thus more Information on
cattle breedS-and particular
ly on the type of environment
which has produced them
would be a great stimulus to
food production, but such data
scarcely exists. No attempt
has been previously made to
get a comprehensive world
picture.
Now the FoodandAgricul-
ture Organization of the Uni
ted Nations GAO has come
forth with a program to gather
what information is available
from breeders in all parts of
the world so that it can be pub
lished and distributed to all
interested farmers and cattle
men.
FAC worked out a report
which asks all pertinent ques-
tons related to the cattle
breed-how it is used, what it
feeds on, description of its en-
vironment (soil types, topo-
graphy, altitude, temperature,
humidity and rainfalD how
much milk, meat or work it
produces, whether it is resis-
tant to disease or infection, &
measurement of the animal at
various stages of maturity. It
also requests photographs
both of the breed and Of con-
ditions making upits environ
ment.
These forms were sent out
some time ago to breeders and
animal scientists in various
countries of the world. 1t takes
time to compile information,
but some of the reports have

great asset to cattlemen in Tex
as, Louisiana, Florida a n d
other southern states of the
U. S. A.
These differences were de-
veloped by cattle in India as
a reaction to their environ
ment. Food was scarce and
hard to find, so they learned
how to walk long distances in
search of grass. Parasites were
common, and some cattle de-
veloped resistance to them.
They also developed an ability
to Withstand India's high hui
mid heats. All in all, these adj
justments to environment pro
duced a hardy strain of cattle.
The Indian cattle (called
Brahmans in the United States
and Zebus in South America
and Europe) thrived when
transplanted to a similar en-
vironment in the area of the
United States, bordering the
Gulf of Mexico. American
breeders crossed the Brah-
mans with their own improv-
ed breeds of beef cattle, pro-
ducing types which are adapt
ed to the conditions of that
part of the country.
This example of how know
ing about a different type of
cattle helped Stockmen in one
part of the world improve
their strain gives an indica-
ton Of what could be done to
increase the productivity and
usefulness of animals on a
worldwide scale.
