When you think of prescrip tions, think of VAKNER’S. — adw —'r 1 1 - "■ - i— Over Sixty Percent Of Students Ride In Buses More than half of the students of Transylvania county, or 2,260 ride to and from school in buses, according to records from the coun ty superintendent’s office. The per centage of bus students is 63.8 of the entire enrollment of 3,540. During the past eight and one half months no days were lost due to weather and road conditions and not a single major injury occurred. “It has been established definite ly that riding a school bus in this county is safer than walking along the highway,” Supt. J. B. Jones points out. Drivers are about half adults and half students, and the records for safety in this county are equally as good. Mr. Jones states that on a state wide basis, however, student driv ers have a somewhat better record than adults. Since the monthly wage scale is only $57.50 it is not easy to secure competent drivers, ihe states. Three new school buses were added this year with a capacity of 60 each, bringing the total to 31.
