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

By DR. WARD L. MOULD
Medical Gas Officer

(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

against the enemy is worth hun
dreds coming off production lines
thousands of miles away," they
said.

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."

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
