tory, and will feel duty bound to do our
utmost to make this PTA everything the
PTA stands for all over our U. S.

the best solution to these problems.
There are many of us who perhaps, are
not familiar with the purpose of the PTA

I'D Polio Case Listed
In D. co. Stricken in
Montgomery County

The Health Department yes
terday reported the 23d case of
polio in the District so far this
year.
The latest victim is a 23-year-
old man, who lives in the 2100
block of Fourth street Sc. He
was taken to Providence Hospital
on Monday.
Last year at this time, the
number of polio cases in the Dis

Stricken in Montgomery.
Meanwhile. the Montgomery
County Health Department said
a brother and sister, living in
the $500 block of Newton street,
Glenmont, had come down with
polio. The boy. 9, and the girl,
7, have been taken to Children's
Hospital. They were said to have
the non-paralytic form of polio.
Montgomery County now has
80 cases of polio compared with
one at this time last year.
Other new cases in the Wash
ington area include one in Alex

In any event, the Senate in

so that the net difference was
approximately $3.50 million.
Those Senate increases were in
the Interior, Agriculture, Labor,

ton of drivers and buses by spe-
cial licenses.
Some Meet Standards.
OF Sc private institutions
operating buses in Montgomery
County one authority is certain
more than half do not meet
minimum safety standards.
Public school systems in Mont
gomery. Prince Georges, Airing
ton and Fairfax Counties are
proud of their safety records.
1t is interesting that Fairfax
employs 17-year-old student
drivers and that their rigid
training and supervision speaks
well for those who insist young
drivers, carefully selected, are on
par with older drivers.
Next fall Fairfax will hire los
drivers, about 40 per cent of
them students. Students are
hired not because they receive
$50 a month compared with the
$140 to SITS paid adults, but be-
cause it is impossible to find
enough adult drivers meeting all
requirements.
The students must have high
recommendations of principals
and guidance teachers, their
home life is checked, they are
given tough training over an
obstacle course" and then must
pass State examinations. OF SO
minor accidents last year, three
were charged to the school bus
drivers, and only one of those to
student driver.
Age % Found Sound.
Equally impressive records have
been compiled by Montgomery
County public school drivers,
who must be at least % years
old and no older than so. Rich
ard M. Ream, transportation
supervisor, says experience has
taught that % is a good, sound
age for drivers.
Arlington County schools have
perhaps the most stringent
standards of all. Drivers from
II to so are hired only after
three years truck driving expert
ence. There is a long series of
examinations, both physical and
proficiency which seemed to pay
off last year when 81 drivers,
hauling $3.50 students day, had
only one chargeable accident.
Director William C. Vest said
buses were inspected once a
month.
All school experts emphasize
the Importance of sound equip
ment and inspection. The ma
tionally accepted chrome yellow
coloring for buses. with big
stop" signs and other safety
features, prevent many acct
dents.
Virginia State license agents
say it is necessary for potential
school bus drivers to take strict
examinations and to have School
bus" stamped on permits if they
are under 18 years of age. But
they admit there is nothing to
prevent a permit buyer from for
getting to mention he is going
to drive q private bus.

There's something in the law

But any one over 18 is privi-
