Drivers Reminded
of School Bus Law

Because of either lack of knowl-
edge of the law or failure to OBJ
serve the law, many motorists
have failed to observe the regu-
lations concerning passing a
school bus whose unloading lights
are flashing. Four large red
lights, two on the front and two
on the back of the bus indicate
by flashing brightly whether or
not the bus is unloading. State
law absolutely forbids the pass
ing of an unloading bus at any
time. This applies in front of the
school house at school house
loading zones as well as on the
highway.
The bus drivers, in the interest
of safety, are required to report
all violations of this regulation
1t is not the intent of school
officials to cause trouble to any
motorist, but promoting the safe
ty of school children is one oil
the most important responsible
ties given to the school. Schoo.
officials are courteously request
ing absolute observance of thi,
law at this time. Your coopera
ton will be greatly appreciated

this box is useful, and requires

AS is usual this time of the

Arthrifie Survey
Nearing Completion
On Reservation

DIR. Thomas A. Burch, director
of the local arthritis and rheu-

States Public Health Service, an
nounced that the survey is near
ing completion. DR.. Burch has
been assisted by DR.. William o.
Brien of the National Institute
of Arthritis and Rheumatism and
DR.. John Lawrence of the Man
chester University and Empire
Rheumatism Council of England.
DR.. Lawrence has left the survey
team and DR.. O'Brien will leave
at the end of the month.
The doctors have been impress
ed with the number of individu-
ais examined who have arthritic
and rheumatic difficulties but
cannot tell as yet whether the
number so afflicted is signifi-
cant in relation to the total num-
Der in the age group being stud
led. 1t is important that all Black
feet, age 80 and over, be examin-
ed so it will be possible to tell
how prevalent arthritis and rheu-
matism is on the reservation. It is
urged that tribal members, age
80 and over, who have not been
examined, arrange to go to the
examining vans near the Tribal
Store within the next two weeks
while the vans are still here.
