100000 Kids Ride
To School On Bus

With about 100000 Arizona
youngsters riding on school buses
during the school year now under
ways, the state traffic safety dl-
vision offers some timely reminder
to parents and students.
Charles Pemberton, Division SUI
perintendent, said parents have a
basic responsibility for the behavior
of their children. They should
teach them to respect safety rules
on buses as well as elsewhere.
For example, he said, school
children should leave their homes
early enough to reach the bus
stop without reckless hurry. When
it's necessary to walk along a
road on the way, the children
should be taught to walk on the
left side, facing oncoming traffic;
and to keep as far as possible
to the left.
They should board the bus and
alight in orderly fashion. Ano
while on the bus. they should re-
main in their seats = without
crowding, showing or, any other
rough-housing.
They should recognized the au
thority of. the driver and follow
his instructions. And children
should be taught to cross the roac
at the safest places, with full re-
gard for safety precautions.
They should watch for traffic ev'
en- though the cars are supposed
to stop, Pemberton said.
