However, after the trio was arrested, police found in their car "an elaborate filing system of major cities on the Eastern Seaboard, containing names addresses and telephone numbers of elderly people," another officer said. Included in the records were the names of about 50 elderly residents of one area of Columbia.

Police indicated the information was so complete that they suspect the men had somehow obtained access to bank records. Police say more arrests are 4 $. 74r ANNUAL MEETING SPEAKER Dr. Randolph Smoak, Orangeburg physician and president of the S. C.

(AP)- Dr. Albert Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine, says he plans to meet Monday with President Ford to recommend changing the strategy of administering the swine flu vaccine.

Summers Has School Buses Ready To Roll v)' jtj, -j (Continued From Page IB) difficult. Dual brakes were added to school buses in 1968, padded back rests were added In 1972 and automatic warning systems were added in 1974. School buses are replaced according to the model and the condition, and Summers said, "We try to give each school their fair share." Buses come in two sizes, a 54-passenger model and a 60-passenger model. The county has both.

Purchasing of new buses Is done by the State Department of Education through bids. The state has bought International buses since 1970. All buses in the five districts are kept at the county bus maintenance shop during the summer, but they are serviced and gassed at the schools during the school year. Service trucks and fuel tankers are sent to the schools from the county bus shop, said Ralph Shaffer, shop foreman. Ten spare buses are kept on hand.

Shaffer and Summers have been employed at the county bus shop since it was opened in 1963. During the fiscal year of July 1, 1975 through June 30, 1976, the operating cost of the buses totalled $70,870.17, Summers said. Operating costs Include gasoline, oil and lubrication. Maintenance, which totalled $28,508.82 that same year, includes parts, tires, batteries and shop supplies. During that period, the buses travelled a total of 1,048,632 miles.

A total of 107 students drove buses last year, and 12 adults were school bus drivers. One adult was employed as the driver of the county's one mini-bus, which is issued to the Edlsto District but used across district lines for transporting the handicapped. In January, the salary of school bus drivers will be Increased to $2.30 per hour. i i.
