at the top rear corners of
school buses. But though school
vehicles in As States have such
lights, he said, they are not
permitted in Virginia.
= The State, he said, Should
re-think this whole business of
safety operations"
The statements prompted
Board Member Waldron E.
Leonard to denounce "domina-
ton by the State and suggest
that I'VE ought to turn down
State aid and run our own
business"
Threat Is Told
One State official threatened
to cut off aid to the county,
he said, because county officials
put numbers on buses. Mr..
Leonard said he complained
about it, and the State official
relented.
Several members criticized
the county's safety program
concerning school buses.
Board Member Berge Thorn
asian said patrols still are not
guarding many places where
children cross roads.
/ Board Chairman Theodore S.
Heriot replied that, although
there are no guards for high
school and intermediate school
children, guards do patrol for
elementary school children.
The regulations don't have
any exceptions" Mr.. Thomasian
said.
Rigid Program Asked
Mr.. Leonard said school Off
cials had been LAX on their
training" and suggested a more
rigid program be employed.
Residents of the area where
the child was struck said they
had never seen a patrol get
off the bus, he said.
Mr.. ThomaSian called for
some constructive action" on
the part of the board and
school officials.
The board voted unanimously
to ask the County Safety Coun-
vii for an examination of the
bus safety program and to re-
quest that the results be made
available by August /.

A MUST FOR VOTERS
Saturday Is DeodIine
For Virginia Poll Tax

Saturday is the last day on
which Virginians may pay their
poll taxes to qualify to vote in
the July II Democratic primary
and the November 7 general
election.
Each year, many citizens of
the Old Dominion are caught
in a poll tax trap-either
through ignorance or indiffer-
ence-becauSe they fail to meet
the deadline. This is because
the last payment date falls six
months before a general elec-
ton, which is usually before
any real heat has developed in
a campaign.
This year, contest for the
three top spots in Virginia

Issues Building Up
So far, only nominal interest
has been generated but issues
are building up. Already oc-
cupying the attention of two
opposing states of Democratic
candidates are public schools.

Members indicated they think
the county's school bus safety
program is inadequate and or
dered the school adminiStra-

the death on April 13 of Teresa

An investigation by Assist

vealed that school bus safety
rules were not being adequately
enforced. Police also reported
that no patrol guard was on
duty at the time of the acci-
dent. although State regula-
tionS require patrols wherever
buses stop. The patrol students
ride the buses and are supposed
to get off at each stop.

indicates that the company is not neces-
sarily interested in following a policy
that is most beneficial to the people of
the areas they serve.
The franchise which City Lines holds
gives the company certain privileges,
but too often the company has not reali-
zed that there are certain corresponding
responsibilities which certainly should
be honored. If the JCL officials are as
receptive to migrating their vehicles
as they have indicated, then perhaps they
should take their equipment back to Chi

EDITORIAL COMMENT
MORE ON CIVIL DEFENSE

Latest available information on bomb
shelters indicates that an extremely large
percentage of residents can survive an
enemy attack provided they take proper
precautions.
In Washington, as a matter of examp-
lie. lit has been ~speculated that those who
have home shelters will have excellent
chances of survival, unless they happen
to be in the exact spot that the bomb is
dropped. Naturally, there has never been
a way to avoid complete destruction in
the event of a direct hit.
Current developments have means
that blast and fallout dust is the great
danger to those in above-the-ground
