It is in regard to your article on the front page of The News this week, “Angry Mothers Led to Driver’s Ar- rest”: As one of those mothers I would like to clear up a couple of statements in that article. First, our children have to cross route 28 to board the bus, ■which they iwere doing Oct. 16, when they were almost run down. This man just kept coming and the children were in the middle of the road, frozen, just watching him coming at them. He slammed on his brakes when he was almost on top of them and just barely massed them, by swerving and almost hitting me and my daughter in our car, on the opposite side of the road. My daughter was between the car door and the car and he would have hit right where she was The Mailbag Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, Nov. 9.—George J. Loveless, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer F. Loveless of Phoenicia, has been promoted to army specialist 4 w'hile serving at Brooke General Hospital at Ft. Sam Houston. Congratulating him is Col. Roy L. Bates, troop commander at Brooke. Spec.

We asked him why he didn’t stop for the bus and his word.s were “There is no stop sign and your d-------- kids don’t be- long in the road anyway.” He had a few more choice phrases for us, then before the bus moved on, he backed up, went on, almost hitting two more children. Since we weren’t called to state our side of what happened when he appeared in court, I wonder if the judge ds aware of what really happened, and if so, if he really feels a $35 fine is sufficient. Do our chil- dren have to be seriously hurt or killed before more severe action ds taken against these people who constantly run by these stopped school buses? Don’t these people realize the precious cargo these buses June graduates of vocational- technical training through the Ulster county board of cooper- ative educational services have been 92 per cent successful in obtaining employment. Sixty per cent are currently employed in their area of training arid 32 per cent are employed in areas not related to their train- ing. The statistics were based on 130 of the 220 graduates of BOCES programs. The stu- dents not available for place- ment went into advanced study, the armed forces or could not take jobs for other reasons. BOCES Effective are carrying and what can happen as a result of their re- fusal to stop for a minute or two to let these children board, or get off at their stops? It’s really sad to think people are really in that much of a hurry. Every day, cars run by our buses here and very soldom are they caught. I hope, as do the other mothers here, that strong- er action will be taken against these people, “before” one of our children pays the higher price of being hadly hurt or killed.
