Surry County Schools Seek DST Exemption Over Early Bus Rides
Mount Airy and Surry County boards push Governor Holshouser to suspend DST until March 1 1974 to keep buses and students on daylight hours. They consider shifting to a one hour later schedule and shortening days if needed to avoid dark morning arrivals. Supt Gentry says they have little choice and may run buses in darkness without action.
