TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
With the touting of .Septem-
ber, the movement of thous-
ands of pupils starts to and
from Texas public schools.
About one out of five of these
children ride a school hus. The
salely of these pupils is of the
utmost importance ami each
motorist has a responsible pail
to play.
The motorist traveling Texas
highways is reminded that up-
on meeting or overtaking from
either direction any school bus
which is stopped for receiving
or discharging children, he shall
step his vehicle, lie may then
proceed past the bus at a pru-
dent speed not to exceed 10
miles per hour.
Drivers of motor vehicles are
urged to exercise due caution
each time they approach one
ol the well-marked buses paint-
ed the familiar “school bus yel-
low." Cooperation of motorists
with Inis drivers and local
school officials may help save
Ihe lives of one of the 450,000
pupils that will likely be riding
Texas school buses during
1965-66.

trimly tailored rear. (Did you think for ona minute that we'd leave out the unique Pontiac styling character you like so well? Never!)
Another nice thing about the '66 Pontiacs is that
there are more of them—3 new super-sumptuous
Broughams and 4 Venturas. And, of course, for you
other Pontiac lovers we've got a bright new Grand
Prix, new Catalinas, new Star Chief Executives—
all witli new Wide-Track ride and improved cat-
quick handling. But you'll discover those things
when you slip behind tiie wheel and turn a new
