I A miijor feature of the legis
lation before my siibeommilleo
I is a section dealing with school
I bus safety. .Some two billion pas-
smiger miles are tiaveleel each
year by .school children in school
hii.ses. And more important, some
.0,000 children arc injuix'd and
90 children killed in ^ .il bus
acckicni.s each ' ..,juite sim
ply, in let-’" .safely equip
ment ,.,al!itions, a child is
1 .u.cr in his patents’ auto-
..looile than he is in the school
bus.
The death and injury data
presented before the subcommit
tee clearly indicates the need for
providing each school 'bus occu
pant with a safe prolectiv^e seat
ing area and in the case of acci
dent with the means of keeping
an occupant within the seating
area. A primary cause of child
death in .school bus crashe.s is the
tossing of the child against hard
objects in the bus or the tossing
of the child out of the bus.
New standards in busi construc
tion will be required. There are,
according to studies, far loo
many cases where seats are in-
ade<|unlely connected to the floor
or wine the side wall structuie
is unable to withstand the stress
of rollever or side collision acci
dents. In my opinion, it is im
portant that the chas.sis and body
of school buses b<‘ construcaed to
minimize rather than multiply
the chance of bodily injury to
school children.
In addition to improving the
structural safety of the school
bus, the subcommittee is lookin

The certit|c;ition procedure is
simple, according to John Cline,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (.4 SCSI county
committee chairman. It involves
a tr|p to the ASCS county office
where the producer signs a dec
laration that states exactly the
acreage he has in program
crops, the acreage he has set
aside, if any, and affirms that
he has complied with all pro
gram regulation and will continue
to do so.
Cline urged farmers to cortjfy
compliance as soon as possible.
“It is to everyone’s advantage for |
a farmer to ctrtify just as soon
as he’s sure that he meets all
the retiuirements," he added.
The county AEiCS office can be
gin processing data for payment
to a producer as soon as he cer-1
tifies compliance.
Although speed ;s important,
accuracy shouldn't be sacrificed [
just to get certification comp-let- '
ed, according to Cline. "The state-!
ment represents the farmer’s
pledge that he has followed and :
will continue to follow program ^
regulations,” he said. An error;
can cost the farmer all or part
of his program p-ayments. .Spot;
checks are made each year on
