Quiet service EVANSVILLE (AP) Although mail may not get to them any faster, residents here can expect a quieter delivery of mail when ten electric-powered trucks hit the road Saturday. U.S. Postal Service officials say Evansville will be the first city in a 13-state region to try having having mail delivered by the nearly noiseless, gassaving trucks. The Postal Service is buying 350 such vehicles this year under a $2 million contract with A AM General of Wayne, Mich. Each vehicle costs $6,005 and cruises at 33 to 44 miles an hour.

Officials say the vehicles can run 29 miles per eight-hour battery charge. The new trucks are expected to be especially feasible in high smog areas. Most of the vehicles wil be used in the Los AngelesSan Bernadino area. The others will be tested here, in South Carolina, the Washington, D.C. area, New Jersey and Connecticut.

President Frederick C. Smith said new federal regulations governing outdoor power equipment, particularly riding mowers, were responsible for the decision. "We believe the riding mower market no longer offers an opportunity for profitable growth for us;" Smith said. He said many lawn mower manufacturers will be forced to retool because of federal safety regulations "on lawn mowers. The firm will continue to manufacture bicycles at plants in Celina, Ohio, and Azusa, Calif.

Speakers included Willis Goble, a consultant to the School Traffic Safety Department of the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction's Office, and Sergeant David Landis, the motor vehicle inspection sergeant from the Pendleton Indiana State Police post. Goble discussed the present 'and proposed federal guidelines for school buses, along with a two-hour defensive driving "Basically, what we give them is the first two hours of an eight-hour defensive driving course," Goble said, "with the idea the school corporation will invite us back for the other six hours." He said state officials would like to get all Indiana school bus drivers to pass the defensive driving course to help in getting federal grants. He said about 80 courses like the one in Marion would be given around the state from June through September. Sergeant Landis spoke about vehicle inspection requirements and gave the drivers some statistics about vehicle inspection and accidents. He said a new "spot inspection" procedure cently imposed by the state police requires troopers to inspect two buses on the road each month.

Kenneth Fox of Hamilton County, the vice-president of the state School Bus Drivers Association, also spoke to the group. Drivers attending the three and onehalf hour session were from the" Marion, Eastbrook, Mississinewa, Madison-Grant and Oak Hill School systems. Attendance at the sessions is mandatory, Goble said, with drivers not attending being required to attend a makeup session or lose one day's pay. GREENTOWN: Verl A. Harris, 128 E.
