School Student
To Pay Cost Of
Rides To Games
Effective July 1, 1952, but pertaining more to the opening of
school this fall; copfespondenee
has been received from the State
"Department of Public Instruction
relative to new rules concerning
the use of school busses throughout the State of Michigan.
"Every school district in Michigan which receives school aid is
affected financially by the cost of
pupil transportation which is rising
rapidly. Many districts receive ho
school aid for transportation and at
the same time charter busses for
extra trips to educational functions
at then* own expense. Consequently
all districts are asked to pay the
cost of all school trips by school
busses. The only exception is the
cost of bus trips to private garages or locations where busses are
repaired".
"After July 1, 1*952, the cost of
pupil transportation by school
owned or leased busses for other'
t)ian transportation of pupils to
and from school will not be included for school allowance. All districts are requested to keep accurate records of trips. The total
miles all busses are operated on
regular routes during the school
year divided by the total cost of
operation, less driver's salaries,
will equal the cost of operation per
mile'*'.
Under existing circumstances, as
listed above in tho Quotas from
State Department directives, it
will be necessary this year that,
with but few exceptions, all extra
trips will be scheduled to leave
from the school and return to the
School, and the cost of the trip Will
be divided and shared by those students using this facility.
As ait example: If a spectator
bus} is sent to a football game at a
competing school and the trip to
and from that school totals 100
miles, the cost of the trip, based on
State Department figures would be
about $20.00 plus, the pay of the
driver, or a total of approximately
$25.00, If 50 Clare students made
the trip, the cost of transportation
would be 50c per person. "The
charge-would vary slightly, -depending upon the distance and the number making use of the busses to
attend the game. It is feasible that
unless, school bus transportation
were in demand %' enough students to make up a load, that spectator busses, would not be sent to
out of town games, The above figures are based upon the cost pel?
mile of operating school busses
ovra* the full year, that cost varies
.between 17c and 20c*

T>MA Farmer-committee elections
have been scheduled by the County
PMA Committee during August 18
through September 8.
At these elections the farmers in
each community will have an opportunity to vote for three mem-
jieS*-- of a PMA community commit-
Ms* tt 'delegate- to. the- county Convention to name the 1953 comity
committee, and alternates.
Andrew J. Keysor, Chairman of
the Clare county PMA committee,
says fhat this year these elections
are o| particular significance because of the added responsibility
which will be given to community
committeemen in administering the
:<1053 Agricultural Conservation
Program.
The community committeemen
elected in September will be responsible-for contacting every^farm-
e'r in tlie' community to help him
check the conservation heeds of
the farm, determine the most urgently needed conservation practices, and make "the most effective
use of available assistance in
carrying out the practices.
As the chairman sees It, "If we
are to have enough food and fiber
in the years ahead, it will have to
come largely from __ our present
crop land. That means we must
protect it so that it will keep on
producing. That is why we have
the Agricultural Conservation Program, and that is why we need the
best possible farmer committee
leadership. The effort must be successful or there will be less food
on the Nation's table in the years
ahead".
