For other placement are:

from the home, inability to

recognizes parental rights and

County School Buses
Safe, Official Says

School bus transportation in
Montgomery County maintains
a high standard of safety, &C.
cording to a report submitted
to the school board recently.
The report was prepared by
Richard M. Ream, director of
school transportation, in re.
Spouse to IA safety recommends
tons received from the State
su p e ri n e n d e n t of schools,
Ream's report indicated that
most of the recommendations
were already in practice in
Montgomery County; but advis-
ability of four of the recon-
mendations was challenged.
Ream said that Montgomery
County school buses are routed
to avoid level crossings of main
line railroads tracks, although
OF necessity some routes must
cross infrequently-used spur
lines.
The recommendations tn a
were disputed were: use of auto
matte transmissiOns i'm school
buses, revolving flasher lights
on top of the buses, opening of
the emergency door at every
crossing of a railroad track, and
irregularIy scheduled evacua.
ton drills.
Ream pointed out that Mont
gomery County school buses are
already equipped with flasher
lights at both front and rear,
and that an additional one on
top would be superfluous. And
he said the wisdom of installing
automatic transmissions was
questionable, because when an
automatic transmission becomes
faulty it may completely fail to
function.
He also disputed the advis.
ability of evacuation drills for
children. Ream said he con.
sidered such a drill to be quite
different from fire evacuation
drills conducted in school build
ings.
He said he believed that any
emergency a school bus could
become involved in would cause
panic so severe as to overcome
any training the children might
previously have had. Further"
he said, ''it would probably be
better if the kids used their own
heads and went out through
the windows, rather than wait
for orderly evacuation through
the DOORS"
Ream also said he could not
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1959-12-10

agree with opening the emer-
gency door every time a bus
passed over a spur track. He
said there was a hazard of chill
dren falling out, it would tie
up traffic while the driver left
his seat to go back and open the
door, and then close it again,
and that he considered it quite
unnecessary in view of the fact
no main lines were ever crossed.
Another of the States recon-.
mendatiOns, that equipment be-
installed to enable the driver to
open the emergency door from
his seat, was conceded to he
desirable but expensive.
The rest of the States recon-
mendations, where applicable,
have already been the practice
in Montgomery County, Ream's
report stated. These included:
requiring of unusual care at
grade crossings over unsched-
uled railroad lines; warning bells
on emergency doors; age go
limitation on drivers; ten.year
limit on use of buses; surprise
spot checks of buses for me.

In the past, he said, schools
have been reluctant to involve
students of the ninth-grade age

A second purpose of the bu-
reau is to coordinate and equal
ize distribution of the baskets
so that they be given out as
evenly as possible. In previous
years, one family might get as
many as six baskets, each from
a different church or club, while
another family received nothing
at all. This year most of the
donating organizations will give
TIL cir baskets through the
Christmas Bureau, to avoid
such overlapping.
Mrs. Conley said that as of
yesterday collection stations
will be set up in six Safeway
stores, for gifts of food, and
toys in good condition. She
pointed out that the bureau has
no facilities for repairing toys,
and therefore would rather have
new ones.
