This was in conjunction with the proclamation that marked this week the 1979 National School Bus Safety Week by the United States Congress . This observation of school bus safety was brought about in the hopes that it would focus on safely measures by the driver s and the motoring public that will redu ce accidents, injuries or death for th e students who are transported by busses lo and from school each day. In Johnsonville, there are 18 regular route busses which travel lo and from school morning and afternoon. In addition , there are three kindergarten busses which serve the kindergarten students during the middle of the day . These busses are presently transporting more than 16,000 students lo and from school each month . They travel more than 120 1000 miles an· nua lly. Ea ch school day they transport more than 900 students and travel more than 650 miles . In South Carolina , the state owned school busses transport more than 400,000 students to and from school each day on more than 6,000 school busses. These busses travel more than 58,000 miles annually. In observing the week of school bus safety, Mendel L. Poston, school bus sstipervisor for Johnsonville District Five Schools, directed the bus drivers in clearing many of the blind spots \\rhere the busses stop in order to reduce the safety hazards that exists on their routes. The students brought bush axes, saws, hatchets, racks and other tools. They went out in a group , super vised by Poston , and worked to clear those blind spots which proved to be the greatest handicap . J . Chester Floyd, super intendent of Johnsonville District Five Schools, joined Poston in urging all citizens lo take special recongnition of School Bus Safety Week, not only for that week, but for the entire school year. Poston said, 1 'Johnsonville has an excellent safety record with their school busses. They have traveled more than 750,000 miles without an accident which required medical care. Mr. Floyd and 1 as k that we all work together and try lo maintain a safe record for the remainder of this school year." Poston pointed out that school bus safety is ever yot1e's responsibility, and while the Bus Driver's Club at Johnsonville were spending much of their ( 'ontinu cd to Page K evenue ncrease Mayo r W.B .
