| Sandra leaving Bus for First Grade
"In Your
Hands"
Her life, and that of 1,199
other students who ride the school buses to and from school each
day, is in your hands, school officials caution motorists.
A state law, requiring that motorists stop when meeting or
overtaking a bus stopped to load or unload, is being widely
disregarded in this area, H.I. Braden, bus supervisor,
said.
Texas Highway Patrol units are keeping a close watch on such
violations, with heavy penalties, he added.
But we can’t be everywhere that one of the 21 Plainview
buses stops, Patrolman Frank Smith said. "We have to depend on
the caution and good common sense of the driving public to keep
our school children safe."

Gordon Latta, who live seven miles northeast of Plainview.
