thm OSEGON STATESMAN, Sedam. Oragon. Tuaaday Morning. Juna SO. 1843 MGZTI Busses Under 40-MUe Limit if ter July 1 Pacific Greyhound lines an nounced Monday that, beginning July 1, their buses in this area will be operated within a speed limit of 40 miles per hour. By running at this reduced speed the bus company is cooperating with the government's rubber conser vation program. It is likewise in keeping with the voluntary action of patriotic citizens in operating their private cars under 40 miles per hour. The lower speed limit will change the arrival and departure times of Greyhound busses serv ing Salem. According to F. W. Ackerman, vice-president of the lines, the speed of busses on many Grey hound routes had previously been reduced wherever the 40-mile sneed limit could be quickly nlaced in effect. "However." he stated, "the rearrangement of schedules over the whole vast net work of Greyhound routes was a big and complicated job. It has new been worked out for this ter ritory and the new schedules will become effective on July 1." Reduction in the operating speed of busses is part of the na tional rubber conservation pro gram, Mr. Ackerman explained. "It is a well-known fact," he said, "that the higher the speed of a motor vehicle, the more rapidly rubber is consumed. Busses, of course, use only a fraction as much rubber per pasenger mile as automobiles, and under the re duced running time still more tire wear will be saved," Lower speed of operation is only one of the steps Greyhound is taking to aid the war effort, it was pointed out. In addition, ex press and limited schedules have been eliminated entirely and ex tra busses of regular schedules are also taken off unless suffici ently loaded. "These measures are necessary," Mr. Ackerman said, "because of the use of large num bers of busses by military per sonnel and war workers, the tre mendous increase of passengers due to tire and private automobile rationing, and the resulting short age of busses." "It is only taking these steps," he stated, "that we are able to meet the vital trans portation needs of the war effort." However, in spite of the many difficulties and limitations on bus transportation today, Mr. Acker man said that Greyhound is mak ing every effort to provide the civilian public with the best serv ice that war conditions will per mit. Gas Protection By DR. WARD L. MOULD Medical Gas Officer US Office of Civilian Defense (This Is the fourth of a series ' t six articles about war Rames, their characteristics, and meas ' re the civilian ran take to pro ' tect himself against gas injury.) IV The Lung Irritants Most of the known lung irri tant gases are "non-persistent" that Is, they are quickly diluted by air to such an extent that they are incapable of causing injury. Chlorine, which has a pungent odor; phosgene, which smells like fresh cut hay; and chlorpicrin, which has a sweetish odor like fly paper, compose this group. Of the non-persistent gases the one most likely to be used is phos gene. A moderate amount of phos gene in the area will cause a "catching of the breath" and a sense of tightness in the chest. Other than this momentary dis comfort, the individual may have no symptoms for as long as 24 hours. If injury has been mild, there may be some increase in the breathing rate. The injured per son becomes drowsy and may fall asleep, feeling refreshed on wak ing. He will probably experience some tightness in his chest and have a cough. With more serious injury, breathing becomes more difficult and a bluish color may creep over the face, first appearing about the lips. . Lung irritants impair the abil ity of the lungs to absorb oxygen. . To lessen the victim's need for oxygen, he must be kept at abso lute rest, and must remain in bed for 24 to 48 hours, even if no symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, even those indicating only slight injury, the injured person must be cared for by a doctor. With proper rest and hospital care, complete recovery will occur in nearly all lung irritant cases. Research shows that, contrary to the current public conception, ' those who recover from injuries . caused by these rases are no more susceptible to pneumonia and tu berculosis than persons who have not been gassed. Tear gas and sneeze and. vomit ing gas are non-persistent agent's which may be classed as "Nu isance gases." Symptoms appear quickly after exposure. Tear gas causes smarting and watering of the eyes. The individual should leave the affected area-immediately, facinr the wind and keeping . the eyes open. Symptoms will quickly disappear. Eyes should not be rubbed or bandaged. Sneeze and vomiting gases cause considerable distress of a tempor ary nature. Following exposure, the nose should be washed out with a solution containing a teaspoonful - of baking soda to a glass of luke- . warm waters This will neutralize the agent ancV reduce discomfort If severely ., gassed . with these types, 'a short period of .bed rest is required. 1 (TomorrowYou Can v Protect Yourself).

Circus Band Integral Part Of Big Top Circus music in the modern manner! That's what Eddie Woeckener puts out for the pa trons of Russell Bros.' great three ring circus, under the auspices of the military police, Oregon state guard for benefit of mess and uni form fund, coming to the Leslie junior high school grounds in Sa lem, Thursday. Eddie has been called every thing from the "Sousa of White Tops" to the "Swing King of Spangleiand." His music has all the flamboj.icy of circus music of old, but he keeps his selections up to the minute and directs his band with animated antics that make him something of a circus in himself. In the final analysis, music is what makes the circus "tick." The timing of the three-ring program requires the precision of a split second watch. And the bandmast er must be not only a thorough musician, but a man of tact, un derstanding and instant resource fulness. Because circus musicians per form prodigies of valor with vi brating lips and drums, they are known among their professional friends as "windjammers." For some five hours a day, they jam wind into their horns or jam sticks against drumheads. They are the heroes of the harmonic world. So much a part of the show is the music that an employe of the circus, when outside the "big top," can tell exactly how far the pro gram has progressed and just what act is being performed at the mo ment Doors to the circus open at 1 and 7 p. m., Eddie Woeckner and his band start playing at 1:30 and 7:30, and the big show starts at 2 and 8. Russell Bros, this season is of fering an all-new star-spangled as semblage of aerial, acrobatic and animal features, described as em bracing the cream of the world's choicest circus talent Fat Salvage Plans Under Way, Salem "To plan the organization of the coming household fats program, meat packers and Tenderers have been requested to attend a meet ing in the office of the state sal vage committee, 314 Pioneer Trust building, Salem, at 10 o'clock Wednesday. "More than two billion pounds i of fats are wasted in the kitchen each year," said Ralph H. Mit chell, executive secretary for Oregon, general salvage section. "The cutoff of oils from the far east plus increasing needs of fats and oils for our allies makes it necessary to take immediate steps to salvage these waste kitchen fats. Also fats are a source of ex plosives now vitally needed for the armed forces. "The plan outlined by the gov ernment is for the housewife to dispose of all possible kitchen fats through the butchers for a fixed price per pound. The butcher will then dispose of the fats to the Tenderers or meat packers. "T h e Oregon housewife is urged to save all waste cooking fats pan drippings from roast ham, beef, lamb and poultry, broiler drippings from steaks, chops and bacon, deep fat wheth er lard or vegetable shortening from fried potatoes, fish, dough nuts. The fats should be strained in order to remove all meat scraps and other foreign matter." Y Camp News By TRAVIS CROSS CAMP SILVER CREEK RECt REATIONAL ARE A "Pioneer ing" was selected as the theme for the 24th annual YMCA-spon-sored younger boys' outing pro gram here Sunday afternoon as the first activities swung under way. A full group of 96 campers rolled into the area Sunday and the first action taken by the ad ministration was to set back the clocks to Pacific standard time. Sunday afternoon was chiefly utilized in simple adjustments to camp and its environment. The first meal was Sunday night, fol lowed by recreation and a camp fire get-together. Dr. Clifford Hutchins, of the department of education at Willamette univer sity, directed the meeting with stories and nature tales. Some tall tales were told far into the night after the first day of fishing in the pools and streams here abouts. Ethan Grant, Salem, pulled, out the largest cutthroat trout, measuring about 10 inches while Jack Hande, Armand Lee Riveness, Paul Casebeer and Har old Fitzke, all of Silverton, hauled in fair sized trout. Richard Wyatt and Douglas Cameron, of the Sa lem vicinity, presented fish at the kitchen. An interesting hour and a half hike led by Don Douris was held Monday afternoon, as some 40 boys stopped frequently for ' na ture study. - Other camp leaders, other than Directors Carl Greider and Ancil Payne, include Rev. Otto Nallin ger, youth director of the German Baptist church: Dr. Hutchins, Ver non Merrick, Dale Bates, Ron Smith, Gaylord Nixon and Horace Beldon. . . .
