running school bus red lights.

"IT’S A PROBLEM," he acknowledged, noting that very weekday his district alone puts 33 buses on the roads and transports . some 2,200 kids. x x "Everyday somebody’s running lights," Battle said, pointing to the Villas as the location where the greatest number of violations occur. "The problem is nobody wants to gel behind a school bus," ho add-

ed.

"THERE’S TWO SIDES to every coin." driver Jack Elliott of Cold Spring said "When you’re driving a bus you're teaching kids to obey the law. Not only are you supposed to drive a bus.iyou're suppos ed to stay within the speed limit, stop at all stop streets and use your tunrsignals." he said. "Thei'e are children watching you. telling their parents how you drive, so you should be an outstanding example of driving." Elliott, a school bus driver for 33 years, summed up the drivers' concern for safety when he noted that school buses carry "the most precious cargo" of any means of transportation, "That precious cargo is people's children." he said

If both parents are addicted to alcohol,, there’s a 400 per cent chance there will be a child with genetic makeup susceptible to alcoholism.

"We want to see controlled growth," says'Mayor Kruk Without sewer connections, he believes there will be few condontifliums or other multi-family dwellings rising in the township. Even controlled growth brings pro-
