In fact, the magazine reports, the wtuKthe typical schoolbus is bum can mak©4t a deathtrap or Expose child passengers to needless injQry. It's a problem, The Journal suggests, that communities . should be looking into. An article entitled "The Other Busing Issue: Safety" appears in the September October issue of the magazine, a bi-monthly publication of the Insurance Information In stitute. The article states: "On the basis of miles driven, schoolbuses have a low accident rate. But the accidents that do happen reveal many unnecessary hazards arising from mechanical failures, flimsy . construction and poor desigp " The article cites studies of fatal schoolbus accidents, carried out by the National Transportation Safety Board, which brought to light what the board described as "inadequate structural assembly" or schoolbus bodies. In one overturn accident which killed four students and injured more thrfn thirty, ice NTSB reported , that 'ja predominant source of injury was the lacer ition of child passengers by exposed edges of the bus interior sheet metal . . .raised into shapes similar to the edge of a shovel or a cookie cutter." In another accident, a schoolbus sideswiped a tree, which ' penetrated the passenger compartment, killing one student and seriously injuring another. Said the NTSB report: "the tree penetrated more deeply into the rear section of the bus than would have occurred if the fasteners had been suf THE CHARLOTTE POST PuhlliM fvffv Thursday ^ Ike General Put^tisklng Com pany Hill Johnson Managing - Editor i Hill Mauch Advertising Mgr. f Willie Mar Porter Reporter Roae Miller Secretary James Peeler Photographer The deadline for all newa copy and photo* la S p.m. Monday.

The NTSB blamed "the very «ride spacing o( the screws whichHwere used to fasten the edges of the çheet metal."·, Other 'serious } problems related to flimsiness of con struction are identified by the article. Among them: the tendency of seats to rip loose from schoolbus floors, and exposure of- children of children to facial damage, caused by impact with un padded metah.bars on the. seats ahead. The article refers to a survey of members by the American Society of Oral Surgeons showing .that annually more than 1,300 children require oral surgery because of facial injuries sustained in impacts with school bus seats. Still other schoolbus safety problems involve mechanical failure, particularly brake failure, and driver error." Seat belts in schoolbuses are not generally recommended as a solution to safety problems, says the article, because the spacing and configuration of schoolbus seats are such that lap restraints would only in tensify, rather than prevent, impact of children's heads and faces against seat backs. Solutions are possible, according to the Journal, through complete redesigning of the bus with attention to such features as structural integrity and the use of firmly anchored, high-backed SPORTING GOODS SALESMAN Leading National Firearms Manufacturer la seeking a representative to call on sporting goods dealers in three to four Southeastern States.
