Mr Miller told what the Cham ber had been trying to do. They learned that Mr. Griener had a bus that would hold 40 children that might be made available for transporting the Selma children to school. Mr. Miller contacted Mr. Griener, who said that he would be delighted to help the commun ity if he could do so and would only expect actual erpenses in do ing it. it developed that $2.00 per pu pil per month W’ould take care of the expenses, and this was pre sented to the Selma parents.
