School Bus Drivers Os County Are Given State Commendation Wilbur Young, state superintendent of public instruction, today commended the school bus drivers of Adams county for their safe driving record. “According to records from the Indiana state police there has been only one Adams county accident in which school buses were involved in 1958," Young said. Probably” we have failed to recognise sufficiently in the past the careful efficiency of the school bus drivers,” Young continued, “because, although they drive twice daily at peak traffic hours and over extremely hazardous highways. I their accident record has for several years been a gobd example for other states.” There are 56 school bus drivers in Adams county and they travel 2.091 miles per day. Os the 4,881 pupils enrolled in public schools, 2,487 ride the school buses. "I am proud to recognize the school bus driver as an important member of our educational staff, Young concluded, “for upon him rests an important segment of responsibility for the success of our whole educational system. We are working together for the building of a strong nation through the development of our greatest natural | resource, the children of each lo- | cal community." — Runaway Youth Is Picked Up At Berne 15-Year-Old Boy Picked Up Today A 15-year-old runaway youth from Delphos.
