Student Drivers
Found To Be
Efficient, Safe
Student school ba-> drivers, when
| compared with adult drivers are
both efficient ana ;fe, a State
Education Comni;^ i group lias
I found.
The report prepared by the pupil |
transportation committee of which!
J. J. Tarlton of Rulheifordtor i?
chairman, includes a table compar
ing student bus dri ers with adult
drivers. The table shows that over
a five-year period, an average of
more than 83 per cer.t of school
bus drivers ha\e b' n high school
boys and girls, and ? Iiat they have
been responsible for r-nly about 75
per cent of school bus accidents.
The report states 'Although
school boys and girls have been
driving most of the school buses
in North Carolina for more than
fifteen years, a good part of the
public is not yet convinced that
they are as good drivers as adults.
"In the opinion poll conducted
in connection with the education
survey, approximately one-half of
the citizens who answered this
question stated that they thought
adults were better bus drivers than
high school boys and girls. How
ever. there was no such division
of opinion among the superinten
dents who supervise the transporta
tion program in North Carolina."
More than two-thirds of the super
intendents who replied to the
questionnaire slated that high
school boys and iris are more
at is factory bu> drivers than the
adults who are available.
The report m ? that the use oi
student drivers lias been a "very
-?reat factor" in achieving the
State's record : economy in
i?upu iranspon jn.ui. n continues
these students haw an excellent
record in safe driving and a quite
satisfactory record otherwise. The
standards for school bus drivers
seem to be adequate, except for
the lack of a requirement that they
pass a physical examination."
The report shows that the State
transports daily ; > and from school
approximately 347.000 pupils, at a
cost of SI 4 pei- pupil.
This is the lowest per pupil cost
lor all of the 48 states. One rea
-on is that North Carolina pays its
udent drivers only $20 per month,
v. ith occasional local supplements.
About 1550 of the more than
3.000 buses in operation ?re from
?ight to ten years old But the
committee reports tha* 'he fleer
. * a whole, is in excel'ent condi
tion. Some of the buses, however,
are overcrowded and an estimated
10 per cent of the State's transport
ed pupils must leave home an hou ?
i'hI a half or more before school

Quoting home economists of the
If. S. Department of Agriculture,
Miss Current said silica gels and
other substances, developed dur
ing the war to keep the contents of
packing cases dry. are now for
sale in retail stores.
The advantages of the new pro
ducts over calcium chloride, which
has been used for many years
against dampness, are that they
do not become liquid and drip as
they take in moisture, and they
can be dried out and used again.
Miss Current said. When they
have taken up all the moisture
they can absorb, they change
color, as an indication that they
need to be dried out or replenish
ed
Pound for pound, they probab
ly do not take up quite as much
moisture as calcium chloride does,
but they are far more convenient
and easy to use. They do not need
to bt* placed over containers that
will hold liquid and not corrode,
,i calcium chloride does. Instead
they may be used anywhere, in
or out of a container. They may
bo strewn on closet floors or
shelves or enclosed in trunks,
bureau drawers, or clothes bags.
The label on the package gives
directions as to the quantity and
method of use.
Wool consumption during the
war was stimulated greatly by
military demands, and continued
h;uh in 1946 and 1947.
