Show fcbo superintendent comments We are constantly concerned with bus safety, in fact, there are times when we question the extreme requirements placed upon districts to provide extra margins of safety, knowing that these features cost hundreds of dollars. The following statistics taken from an Arizona safety magazine provide some very interesting information about bus accidents and safety: "A Department of Transportation Tran-sportation report states that pupil transportation is many times safer than automobile travel, but says that pupils transportaion safety can and should be improved. The report was prepared by a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration School Bus Task F'orce. The study was (.undertaken (.un-dertaken to examine the overall school bus safety problem and to develop a plan to improve pupil transportaion safety. Principal findings and conclusions of the study are as follows: 19 million students are transported tran-sported daily in approximately 260,000 school buses. Approximately 158 school bus-involved bus-involved fatalities occur annually; an-nually; approximately half of these are pupils. Of the 83 pupil fatalities in 1971, 17 were pupils on the bus, 33 were pupils run over by other vehicles. Approximately 8,200 school bus-involved injuries occur annually and slightly more than 5,000 of these are pupils. While only 20 percent of pupil fatalities occurred inside the school bus in 1971, 93 per cent of the injuries occurred there. Over one-fourth of the bus occupant injuries required the service of an oral surgeon.

Groups require reservations at limp Cave Due to the number of visitors wishing to tour the caves at Timpanogos Cave National Monument it is necessary to m requrie organized groups, such as schools, churches, scouts, and other to make reservations in advance of their visit by contacting monument headquarters for reservations. By controlling the number of groups arriving each day, all visitors who are traveling will be able to see the caves and have a more enjoyable, high quality tour while helping to preserve the caves for all visitors to see Superintendent Sherma E. Bierhaus emphasized the fact that groups arriving without previous reservations can not be accommodated on the cave tours. Superintendent Bierhaus wishes to express her appreciation ap-preciation for the cooperation of all visitors who have visited the monument this summer. "This has been one of the best visitor season's we have experienced because motorists have observed ob-served the new lower speed limits and been aware of increased in-creased pedestrian traffic throughout the area", she stated. The cooperation of visitors along the cave trail has, thus far, prevented the occurrence oc-currence of any serious injuries or accidents. Evening programs are continuing con-tinuing throughout the summer at 8:00 p.m. daily with a wide variety of topics being presented. Tickets for cave tours are sold daily from8:00 A.M. to5:00 P.M.

A cable made of special materials that loses all resistance to the flow of electricity at near absolute zero (-459F) was placed inside the test bed and by steps the direct current was boosted to 4,000 amperes; about five times the amperage am-perage carried by today's largest conventional transmission lines.

As part of its effort to halt illegal traffic in protected wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has, since 1971, seized more than $2 million worth of contraband wildlife. The extent of the international trade in wildlife and wildlife products made from furs, hides, shells, feathers, teeth and tusks is enormous, and the market continues to grow. In 1972-73, more than 41 million wildlife products and some 220 million live animals and fish were legally imported into this country. The traffic in illegal wildlife that can be bought by travelers abroad is also high, since some of the most beautiful and interesting wildlife products are made from animals protected by United States law.
