Mr. Lopez clairiv ed he was assaulted at the high school while on a District No. 6 school bus. The board also heard statements from several other students who were pass engers on the bus. On the same date the Board met in executive sesselon and reviewed both the Information presented at the public session and that which the Board had obtained earlier from its own investigation. The Board unanimously con cluded and resolved that: (1.) The school administra tion of District No. 6 will con tinue to accept Its responsibil ity for the education, welfare, safety and discipline of all stu dents while they are in atten dance at its schools or are being transported to or from school by district busses.

The assign ment of school bus seats to students is a regulation well within this definition. (3.)

Long hard rains would eventually wash this re sidue away, but the light show ers of spring foster It. •Seventeen percent of all acci dents and 14.1 percent of all fatal accidents occur on wet pavement,* said the chief.

Make sure your wipers work, watch surface condltons, and slow down. “My wife has a slight imped iment In her speech,* says comedian Jack Durant. • Every now and then she stops to breathe* Thomas Griffin 1■
