PAGE SIX —SECTIOU TWO [SCHOOL AND YOLK CHILD By John Corey. Appalachian Slat* Teach*** College Just How Sate b Your I p '■ Child on a School Bus? | One out of every three chil ’ ‘dren in America goes to school ' by bus. Over 153,722 buses | * these youngsters. It’s the world’s largest fleet of pub lic vehicles. Each year they clock 1.2 billion miles or bei- S tti. Although insurance companies list teen-agers as their poorest driving risks, there are 14 states .£ in which teen-agers do the driv jling. fjfH In the past five years, the number of riders went up 100 ■ f per cent, according to the De- Sot cember Good Housekeeping mag -1 * azine. But pupil deaths in i school bus accidents soared up • ward 500 per cent. “■ ' The comparison stirs anew the .'old question: How safe are 1 school buses? More particular :• ly, how safe are their drivers, ■ many of whom earn as little as $25 a month, yet are respon • i J sibie for parents’ most precious ■; cargo. .I' -* As Good Housekeeping points rvout, there is a need for uniform, f well-enforced laws governing - bus operation. In many states standards are inadequate for j * buses and their maintenance, for the drivers, and for pupil dis -1 cipline and supervision oa the • buses. % Still, when you look at ‘the overall job school buses aie do ing—transporting 11-2/3 million • children over all classes of : j ds ' —and compare accident records , ' against other carriers, you find ‘ that school bus safety records ■ show up very well indeed. “It must be a safe mode of »' transportation,” says J. Pope Baird, a Florida Education De ? , partment transportation snccinl ist who’s been directly conrret > ed with school bus operation '■ since 1927. North Carolina, which owns £■' and operates 8.500 school buses * (the country’s largest single «’< fleet) considers a bus no safer <•4 than its driver and aims at 4 Price Stability Seer In Consumer Items Magazine Gives Frre cast For Retail Sales Trends Spring shoppers can look for ward to tempting displays of products and reasonably stable prices, according to the editors of Changing Times, the er Magazine. As a result, the editors advise that purcous..ig plans should be premised on the knowledge that there is neither much to save nor much to lose by putting off shopping for a few months. i In the current issue of the magazine, “The Months A head,” i a regular feature, takes a look at price trends, product ci anges and innovations in style and fashion. The editors find that shifts in price up or down will be minor, with the exception of a few items. Specifically, they note that furniture retailers will offer more sales and promotions to jog lagging business. Stylewise, there is a revival of pure Ameri can, to get away from the re cent influence of Italian and French Provincial. Contemporary designs will be less severe.

Hyde, for-! mer director of driver and accident records. The Tar Heel state bets its | money on the teen-age student j |as the best driver it can get. j ; teen-agers drive 90 per cent of i the senool buses transporting 520,000 9tudents daily to North ; Carolina’s public schools. School officials know, of course, that auto insurance com panies charge teen-age drivers double premiums. But the of-1 i ficials know too that only a' small percentage of teen-agers j are responsible for the large, : number of violations and acci- ' 1 dents which cause the high auto j insurance rates. Therefore, North Carolina ; schoolmen follow this overall reasoning in using student driv ers, according to C. G. Brown, director of transportation for the State Board of Education: Hiring student drivers enables ; officials to be more selective. They can also require more in- ■ tensive driver-training, maintain j an adequate number of qualified! drivers, and exercise closer su- j pervision and control over the 1 entire transportation system. I They find that the net result is a good safety record at reason able cost (sls per pupil a year). Still no matter how efficient and cautious a human system is, Florida’s school bus expert, Mr. Baird, adds: “I am always conscious of the fact that one unfortunate turn of the steering wheel or neglect for a fraction of a second could mean a tragedy that would never be forgotten. Surely a Divine Power has been watching over school bus operation. May He continue to do so.” (Editor’s Note: Readers having| questions concerning education are invited to send inquiries to School and Your Child, Appa lachian State Teachers College, Boone, North Carolina). tinue, will reflect some basic I 'hanges in design and appeal.

Memory Selection: “I do not p. ay that thou s.iouldst take them rut of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from; the evil one.” (John 17:15).! Lesson Text: John 17. Today the purpose of our text is to help adults understand more clearly the purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ. Turning to John 17, we read Jesus’ beautiful prayer in be-! half of his disciples, and all his] followers, everywhere. This chapter in John’s Gospel is com monly entitled “Jesus’ High j Priestly Prayer.” John frequently uses the word; “glory” in his writings—refer- j ring to the Crucifixion. Jesus’ crucifixion glorified him. In] John and in all the New Testa- ] ment Jesus’ death on the cross] is neither shame nor defeat. Iti was his victory, his honor, his glory. It is this glory through the cross that gives him vie-; tory over the flesh.

Jesus glorified himself before us by doing the work for which be had come—dying on the cross tor our salvation. But this ac complishment of his work -does not mean that Jesus was a suc cess in our terms. By our mod ern standards he failed. But that same failure entitled him to offer us eternal life. This is the glory. As we read this prayer we realize that Jesus wias coming before God with the needs of loved ones not only of that century, but of all time. He was praying for us also. “That they also . . . may be with me where I am, to behold my glory” (17:24). This is the climax of all that Jesus desires for us. We cannot go beyond this, because this is the ultimate. To be with Christ in glory is the final goal of all living. Here is the essence of Jesus’ supplication: First, glorify; sec ond, fortify; third, unify. Jesus was praying that God would so unify his followers that all the world would know that God had sent him as Saviour.
