parents are happy to know
when their child eats a school
lunch, he is receiving one

He is married to the former
Elinor Trunnel of Cochran and
they have three children,
Allen, Jr., Lane, and Laura.
“Many think that since the
name has been changed from
the Tuberculosis and
Respiratory Disease
Association that the Geoigia
Lung Association is a r;ew
voluntary health agency.
Nothing could be farther from
the truth,” Mrs. Van Horn
said. “We are the same people
with the same red double
barred cross. Only our name
has changed because our work
has expanded from just
fighting TB to the prevention
and control of all lung
diseases. “There is more work
to do and when your Christ
mas Seal letter comes,
remember, that whatever you
give, will help someone
breathe a little easier,” Mr.
Whipple said.
Christmas Seals fight
tuberculosis, emphysema, air
pollution and other lung
diseases. It is the
Association’s major effort to
obtain the necessary funds for
its educational and research
programs that combat one of
the most pressing health
problems facing the nation.
It is estimated that more
than 40,000,000 men, women
and children have some form
of chronic respiratory
disorder. American tax
payers have paid out last year
more than S4OO million for
disability due to chronic lung
diseases. Though many think
that tuberculosis is not longer
a problem, at least 3,810
persons died from the disease
last year. Georgia alone had
986 newly active cases ranking
it 10th among the slates. The
Georgia Lung Association is
divided into 10 branches and
one affiliate association, the
Atlanta Lung Association. 90
percent of all funds collected
remain in Georgia for
program activities and 10
percent is used to support
national program goals,

School Bus Shortage
Plagues Houston System
School buses are becoming
more and more scarce. At
last week's Board of i
Education meeting in Perry,
the Houston School Board and ,
Transportation Director Herb
St. John discussed the long, ,
long delays now standard
when ordering school buses
for use.
School Superintendent
David Perdue said that
correspondence from the
Georgia Stale Department of
Transportation (DOT) was
encouraging early bid
requests from school systems
in Georgia. Perdue mentioned
that buses ordered last March
by Houston County still have
1 not been delivered.
The school superintendent
said that bus chassis have not
been delivered from the
manufacturer (Ford Motor
Company) to Blue Bird Body
Co. of Fort Valley. He cited
delays in manufacture of the
buses’ bellhousing as the
“holdup”. Furthermore
Perdue said he had been given
no definite commitment as to
when the buses would be
ready.
Blue Bird has already pre
constructed the bus bodies. So
when the chassis arrives, it
will be bolted together and
shipped to the county.
Giving a history lesson,
Perdue reminded the board
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL TIIURS., OCT. 17. 1971,
that previously at least three
different companies had
always bid on bus chassis.
Now Ford, Chrysler, and
Chevrolet are reportedly
dropping the manufacture of
school bus chassis, leaving
International as the lone
supplier.
Bids taken by several other
counties in Georgia were
given at least 52 week (one
year) delivery times. The low
bids were SB,OOO for 60-
passenger bus chassis. Perdue
estimated that a conventional
60-passenger bus would cost
$14,000 each next year.
The county can apply for
$74,000 in state funds for 1975-
PAGE 1-B
76 (next school year) bus
purchases. But the county will
need six conventional and two
“All-American” buses next
year. This totals far more than
the money available from the
stale.
Houston Transportation
Director Herb St. John is one
the state School Bus Advisory
committee. He said that buses
now are required to be
automatic transmission
equipped.
School board member L.A,
McConnell moved to get bids
for the 1975-76 school year. He
was seconded by Hugh Brazell
and the motion passed without
dissent.
