New models are either 21-foot size buses, in tended to transport 45 children, or the larger 23- foot size with a seating capacity of 68 like the bus at the right. C. H.

Harnett's School Fleet Now Totals 102 Buses Seven brightly-colored orange buses and three replacements have been added to Harnett County’s fleet of 102 school buses now being checked for the busy year ahead. Last year the county operated 95 buses. County school traffic supervisor C. H. Hood said the new buses fall into two classifications, the 21-foot bus built by Blue Bird of Ft. Valley, Ga., powered with Ford motors, and the 23-foot bus manufactured by Hackney of Wilson with Interna tional motors. “The Blue Birds,” whose bright orange exteriors and olive green interiors belie their names, will boast the first directional signals ever to be in operation on a county school bus. Their neat, well design ed bodies with brown leather seats will carry a maximum load of 45 children with three children to each seat. These four 21-foot size new buses wilL go to Buie’s Creek, Shawtown. Gentry School at Erwin and Har nett County Training School in Dunn. THREE 23-FOOT BUSES Benhaven, Lillington and Dunn will receive the three new 23-foot Hackney buses, intended to take care of a maximum load of 68 chil dren. All new buses are equipped with defrosters, heaters, and auto matic flags. Three bus replacements will go to Lillington, Johnsonville, and Erwin, the latter incidentally re placing a bus which was in use for eleven years. Average life of a school bus is estimated by the state maintenance department to be ten years. New buses are not going to make the old ones seem shabby, because during the summer thirty buses have been given a new coat of paint. All buses have been checked and repaired. This week the State Highway Patrol will make its pre school check of the entire fleet. soon,” Cox boasted when detectives arrested him. The 30-year-old slayer said he was from Logan, W. Va„ and re vealed that he had received psy chiatric treatment at two hospitals, “The doctors couldn’t help me,” !he said. THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN.

How | ever, the new buses are not the big ■ gest. Three buses, capable of trans [ porting 75 children, operate daily ; at Coats, LaFayette and Boone ' Trail. | Majority of buses are driven by school boys and girls, Hood report ed, but noted there are five schools which are the exception to the rule. Two women cafeteria workers oper ate buses at Shawtown and Ridge way schools. The principal at Maole ’ Grove drives a bos, and a teacher at the East Carolina Indian school drives the panel truck that oper ates there. A school janitor at Buckhom also doubles as a bus dri ver. Hood emphasized that every dri ver has had a period of schooling, passed a written examination on traffic regulations,” and a road test. In the long history of school transportation in Harnett County statistics in the state department of education office show. Hood said, that only two Harnett County school children have been killed in school bus accidents. Last year there was only one highway acci dent which-involved a school truck and no. one was injured. But a perfect safety record is the high goal Hood holds before his drivers and all maintenance person nel who work daily to make the ride to and from school safe for the county’s school children.
