Do You Live 

 On a Freeway?

service drives for access. These drives 

 must be of appropriate design and 

 construction and separated from the 

 freeway by parkways, curbs, or other 

 effective devices. In all cases the free- 

 way authority determines the need, 

 location, and nature of the local serv- 

 ice drive. 



7. Elimination of Highway Cross- 

 ings. The freeway authority may elim- 

 inate a crossing or junction by agree- 

 ment- with the existing county, town- 

 ship, city, or village having jurisdiction 

 over the access road in question. The 

 crossing may be relocated elsewhere 

 for safety and convenience. 



8. Intersections or Crossings. The 

 freeway authority must give its con- 

 sent or fix the terms and conditions 

 under which new intersections or cross- 

 ings are connected to the freeway. 



So if you live on property lying 

 along a freeway, be sure you know 

 what your own particular rights are in 

 relation to the road. Besides, if you 

 ever sell your property, the buyer prob- 

 ably will want to know what restric- 

 tions the freeway puts on your property 

 rights. 



VV/iof Is This New 

 Bang's Vaccine?

mained. They were sold. The two 

 suspects cleared up and the herd is now 

 brucellosis- free. Hecht said he was glad 

 the vaccine had been made available to 

 his herd. 

 : "What," you may ask, "are the pros- 



pects of obtaining vaccine M for use on 

 your herds in Illinois?" The disappoint- 

 ing answer is "Not for some time." Dr. 

 Huddleson refused to give any definite 

 time when the vaccine would be available 

 commercially outside Michigan. He in- 

 dicated that months of experiment may 

 yet be necessary before the Bureau of 

 Animal Industry will approve the vac- 

 cine. 



In the meantime, all Illinois farmers 

 can do is watch the results of experiments 

 on M vaccine and hope they will be 

 successful enough to put the new vaccine 

 on the market as soon as possible. 



School Bus Standards 

 Must Be Kept High

pupils and will arrive at school earlier than 

 high school pupils on the average, it may 

 be necessary to shorten the high school 

 day in order to prevent the grade school 

 day from being too long. It may be 

 desirable to shorten the noon lunch hour 

 at the high school or to eliminate it en- 

 tirely by staggering the noon hour for the 

 purpose of shortening the grade school 

 day. 



It is rather ' generally agreed among 

 those who have had experience in pupil 

 transportation that the school district's 

 ownership of its own buses increases the 

 service to the district and allows the 

 school board more regulatory control 

 over the transportation system. 



Good roads, good schools buses and 

 good drivers are essential to a good 

 pupil transportation system, but most of 

 all "good drivers". For no school bus 

 is safer than the driver who operates it. 

 And he must deserve sufficient respect 

 from the pupils to secure their coopera- 

 tion. - . ,,, 



For further information of "Do's" and 

 "Don't's" in pupil transportation, read 

 the article on page 17 to 19 of the March, 

 1948 issue of the Educational Press Bul- 

 letin entitled "Pupil Transportation 

 Notes" by J. C. Mutch, director of trans- 

 portation, office of State Superintendent 

 of Public Instruction, Centennial Build- 

 ing, Springfield. Copies of this bulletin 

 probably can be secured by writing to 

 the above address. 



In order to continue Illinois' good 

 safety record in school bus transportation, 

 parents and board members should in- 

 sist that all measures which can contribute 

 to greater safety and service in pupil 

 transportation be enforced.
