Grayson County Schools  The Denison Press Friday, April 23, 1943 pg.3 SCHOOL BUSES TO HAVE PATRIOTIC COLORS IN 1944 All school buses in Texas will scream the national colors starting with 1944, according to a house bill passed at the present session of the Texas Legislature, and the color scheme is laid out and the style of how it shall be applied. It is done in the name of "standardizing the colors for school busses," the house taking the position that we need to have a standard color and deciding the national colors which will do, painted in parallel lines. The colors are to be distributed as indicated in the new law, with "two-fifths in blue, one-fifth in white and two fifths in red." The top section of the bus shall be two-fifths blue, the paint running from the front to the back in a horizontal line. The immediate of one-fifth under this, or the near-middle of the bus, is to be white. Under this, the remaining two-fifths of the bus is to be in red. On the white field, and at the front, side and rear, and painted in black, must appear the name of the school, the district, or other identification. Enforcement of the act is to rest with the superintendent of public instruction and the board of education of each school. Failure to comply with the law, both on the part of the driver and enforcement agency carries a fine of $25 to $200 and a jail sentence of 30 days, either or both. All school busses must be so painted - (or decorated) - by the school terms of 1944.
