Buell Hoffer, a bus driver, cited so-called inequities in the present Wage policy due to the time differential between certain routes and requested that the pay for the dri.vers whose routes require appreciably more time be $lO per day instead of the present $8 per day rate. After considerable discussion in which both bus drivers and board members participated, the board agreed to postpone action on the request until the next regular meeting and instructed the superintendent to have a complete report ready for'the meeting on the distance traveled. th£ number o r children transported in each bus, the time required to made the routes in question, and comparative wages paid by other cornparable school corporations.

NEW JOB TRAINING PROGRAM BEGUN AT BEATTY HOSPITAL WESTVILLE, — Mentally ill patients who lack employment experience and social know-how are being helped to re-enter the outside community through a new job training program begun recently at Norman M. Beatty Memorial Hospital. At the same time, the program is intended to help nursing homes and hospitals eliminate inadequate staffing by furnishing them with trained nurses aides. A handful of women patients, most of them in their forties and fifties and well enough to leave the hospital, are in training to become nurses aides with a job future in nursing homes. Several nursing homes have a- ! greed to give patients additional ■ apprentice training during a “testing out" period, says Russell L. ’ Reichard, director of psychiatric ; social workers for the Indiana De- ; partment of Mental Health. The patient’s room and board will be paid out of the hospital's family ' cart? fund until the patient -is ready for the labor market. When the hospital agrees that the patient is able to take care of himself, the patient may either be hired by the nursing home, or may seek employment and housing elsewhere. Reichard points out that there is a great need for aitles in nursing homes which are under pressure to increase small staffs. “We feel we can gwe them a , better trained worker man they often can -lire at salaries t’ley can afford.” Reichard says. The hospital training program inchides group therapy sessions help patients overcome their, dependency on the hospital and fear of return to the outside world In addition, a Red Cross bedside nursing course is given and patients are assigned to work in the hos--ntai’s geriatrics service under a nursing supervisor as a part of their practical experience. “By placing patients on family care after tiie program is completed." Reichard says, “we allow them to do some exploration on their own. without a sink or swim feeling.” Hiis is the first time such a program .has- been tried. Mr and Mrs. B J. Julier of and 736 S.

1362.171 Vehicles f Inspected I This Year Floyd A. Kline, Sr., director of the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety’, today announced that a total of 1.362.171 vehicles were inspected this year during the 1965 Indiana vehicle safety check. This represents an increase of 227.026 veiiicles over 1964, which showed a total of 1,135,145 vehicles checked. The annual May-June motor vehicle safety check in Indiana was sponsored, once again, by the Indiana sheriffs association, the Indiana Asociation of Chiefs of Police, the Automobile Dealers .Association of Indiana, and the Indiana state police, all in cooperation with the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety’, the state coordinating agency for the vohmtary vehicle inspection. Os the 1.362.171 vehicles checked this year — 88.9 per cent were passenger cars and 11.1 rer cent were trucks’ Nearly one out erf seven. or 13.5 per cent of all vehicles ‘ checked in 1965 were rejected as defective — almost duplicating the 14 per cent found defective in 1964. This year 12.73 per cent of the passenger cars checked had defects and 19.44 per cent of the trucks had defects when checked. Headin r the list of vdiide de- -I sects. again this year, were the rear

lights on all the vehicles checked ' taillights and license plate lights 25.9 per cent, stop lights — 16.8 per cent, and rear turn signals — 9.2 per cent representing 51.9 per cent of the total defects found. This combination was followed in order by: front lights 'headlights— 14.2 per cent and front turn signals — ,9.2 per cent) representing 51.9 per ceit of the total; defective exhaust systems — 5.4 per cent of the total;, defective brakes — 4.8 per cent of the total; defective windshield wipers — 3.8 per cent of the total: defective horns — 3.3 per cent erf the total; defective tires — 3.0 per cent of the total; defective window glass — 2.7 per cent of the total: defective rearview mirrors — .9 per cent of the total: and defective ! steering mechanisms — .8. per cent of the total defects. There were 190.254 defects found on passenger cars 'an increase of 44.858 or 13 per cent over last year) and 38.392 defects found on trucks j (an increase of 6.392 or 20 per cent over 1964 1 — making a combined total Os 228.646 defects (an inof 51.050 or 29 .per cent over ■last year' reported in the 1965 Indi- ! ana motor vehicle safety check. A considerable increase was shown in the 1965 seat belt survey as compared with the 1964 Report: Vehicles equipped with seat belts in front seat: 1964 — 107.405; 1965 — 342.813 . . . Vehicles equipped with seat belts in back seat: 1964 — 10, 744; 1965- — 43.214. This is a much ’ greatt-r increase-,-, than was shown

over a year ago. Mr. Kline said: “According to the results of our vehicle safety check this year, it would appear that a great many traffic accidents in our state could be avoided, if periodic motor vehicle inspection and correcticHi were carried out ’by all motor vehicle owners and operators. I’m certain, if all of the more than 2 1 2 million motor vehicles registered in Indiana had been safety-check-ed this year, that defective vehicles might have ranged as high as 25 per cent. “The seat belt survey disclosed there were three times as many seat belts installed as in 1964. The reported usage showed a significant increase, but still leaves much room for improvement. Seat belts when worn can save lives and reduce injuries." Mr. Kline concluded.
