UNSAFE GEORGIA SCHOOL
BUSSES SHOULD GO
ATLANTA, June 26. (GPS).—
Upon his return from a conference on
school transportation at Daytona
Beach, Fla., John I. Allman, state
director of school administration,
said Georgia has hundreds of dilap
idated school buses which should be
removed from the highways. He said
Georgia is the only state in the south
in which the state department of ed
ucation has no supervision over the
regulation of school transportation,
which is controlled by county boards
of education or school districts.
The state department, if given
some control, would immediately con
demn the unsafe school buses and
take steps to improve routing, Mr.
Allman said. Last year Georgia had
2,711 school buses, and of this num
bs? mors than 690 were in bad con
dition, he said. The cost of trans
porting 173,4311 school children in
these buses was $2,049,798, or an
avcraga of $11.78 per child.

NEWS AT A GLANCT
ABOUT STATE EVENTS
ATLANTA, June 26 (GPS).—J. H.
Chaffin, Wayne county agent, be-,
lieves farmers can produce just as I
good beef as any in the country with;
Georgia grass, roughagess and con-!
centrates, provided good sires are ■
used in breeding cattle. The agent
asserts that beef of excellent quality,
can be produced by giving animals a ’
combination of concentrates, cotton
seed meal and plenty of pasture. For
cattle on pasture, he says, it is wise
to use a mixture of one quart cot
tonseed meal and four to six parts
ground grain, provided farm grains
are available. Speaking his piece in
the Jestip. Sentinel recently, Mr. I
Chaffin pointed out that cottonseed
meal is considered an economical and
efficient source of protein and is
known to have a fattening value im
portant for cattle feeding on grass.
Said he:
Finishing of beef animals on Geor
gia feed is gaining in favor as a
piofitable enterprise due to the long
growing season and improvement of
pastures. In addition to the sale of
'beef, farmers will gain by added
plant food to the soil through manure,
experiment station results and ex
perience of farmers indicate an im
privement in quality of beef, more
rapid gains, higher prices and less
grain where animals are fed meal,
grain and allowed sufficient pasture.
The gains are more rapid and econo
mical than where animals are fed to
the same degree to finish in a dry
lot.”
55,000 More Jobs—“ The recent in
creases which have occurred in rail
way traffic and revenues have re
sulted in a substantial raising of the
level of railroad employment,” de
clares the Railway Age. “There were
55,000 more railways jobs in May
than there were a year ago, as Mar
employment rose from 957,000 in 1939
to 1,012,000 in 1940. Reflecting im
mediately the traffic increases which
have occurred, the number of train
and . engine service employes—engi
neers, firemen, conductors and brake
men—rose from 197,000 in May, 1939,
to 214,000 in May this year. This
meant an increase of more than 8
per cent, or 17,000 jobs. But even
more significant in the light of pres
ent conditions are the increases in
employment made by the railways in
other departments.
“indicative of the industrial pre
paredness prigram of the railroads
is the fact that the number of their
employes engaged in the maintenance
and repair of equipment was in
creased by rpore than 27,000.

JULY NATION’S “DEADLIEST”
MONTH ON THE HIGHWACS
Because July is one of the nation’s
“deadliest” months on the highways,
Gov. E. D. Rivers is asking Geor
gians to make it Safety Month.
By proclamation he is urging all
drivers and pedestrians to observe
j faithfully the “common sense rules
iof safety.” Moreover, he is request
i ing that they “seek additional infor
mation during the month of July re
garding causes of fatal accidents and
that they be certain the equipment of
their vehicle, essential to safety, is
in good order.”
Major Lon Sullivan, commissioner
of public safety, said last year 70
persons lost their lives in Georgia
auto accidents, the second and last
time the monthly record failed to be
lower than the corresponding period
of the previous year.
State troopers, the commissioner
said, are redoubling their efforts to
prevent accidents and are bearing
down particularly on drunk and speed
ing drivers.
“Every trooper is giving up the
one weekly leave to which he is en
titled in July and will serve seven
days patrol duty,” Major Sullivan
said.
Gov. Rivers’ proclamation is in
compliance with a nation wide re
quest by National Safety council
that all state chief executives call
j “attention of their citizens to the
j staggering death toll” of July and
j particularly of the Fourth. Through
j out the nation last year 2,740 lives
were sacrificed in July auto acci-
I dents.
Gov. Rivers is requesting all
mayor, county commissioners, minis
ters, civic, patriotic and fraternal
organizations and the press and
| radio to give active support to safety
| month efforts.
“Let us all join the state troopers
and department of public safety in
| this effort to prevent another 70 of
our citizens from being killed and
; 2,450 injured as they were in Geor
gia accidents last July,’ Gov. Rivers
said.
Major Sullivan said pamphlets,
posters, leaflets and prepared safety
addresses are being distributed. They
| also are available without charge on
request.
